THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Join Julia Bradbury as she travels the world to uncover the ultimate health and wellness hacks to help you take charge of your health for good.

The human body is a marvel of biological engineering that constantly renews itself, and we always seem to be on the hunt for ways to improve it, physically and emotionally. But with so many new health trends on the rise, how do we know what really works?

In Hack Yourself Healthy, TV presenter and author Julia Bradbury cuts through the noise to embark on a rigorous journey to reclaim her health following her own breast cancer diagnosis. Her quest in this book is to discover whether she can go from a cancer diagnosis to being the fittest and healthiest she's ever been. Travelling across the world to explore different cultural approaches, from India to Antarctica, from Cornwall to Yorkshire, Julia talks with world-renowned experts as she volunteers as a 'Crash Test Mummy' to test the latest in biohacking, screening and testing. Follow her as she embraces Europe's coldest cryotherapy chamber and investigates the world's oldest medical system, Ayurveda, in the Himalayas.

Drawing from research, interviews with global thought leaders and personal experiments, Julia offers practical tips and accessible science-based strategies to optimise every aspect of your health and wellbeing. She uncovers why saunas can be so beneficial, how sugar affects us on a cellular level, what types of exercise we should be doing every week (and how much of it), if drinking alcohol has benefits, which foods can help us live a more vibrant life, and why planetary health and human health are so intrinsically linked.

You'll also discover how to hack your nutrition and hormonal health, utilise sleep science and why the future of medicine is an integrative whole-person approach. As a long-time 'outdoor evangelist', Julia continues to explore the rejuvenating power of nature (and even how it can mimic science). Using this ultimate health blueprint, you can join Julia on her quest to 'make the best of the rest' and curate your own transformative health journey at home and in nature.

Hack Yourself Healthy will show you that true happiness isn't just about living longer – it's about living better.

About the Author

Julia Bradbury is a well-loved television presenter, author, nature advocate, charity campaigner and Sunday Times bestselling author of Walk Yourself Happy. She is best known for turning her lifelong passion for walking into prime-time TV with shows including Britain's Best Walks, Cornwall and Devon Walks with Julia Bradbury and Wainwright's Walks in the Lake District. She manages to bring the outdoors and nature into people's homes and lives, in a warm engaging tone. She started her television career as a show business reporter for breakfast television in Los Angeles, and came back to the UK to launch Channel 5.

She was a key member of the presenting team which turned Countryfile into one of the most watched factual programmes on BBC1 with millions tuning in on Sunday nights, and has fronted other flagship shows including Top Gear and Watchdog. In recent years she has also taken on a creative role, co-developing new series, as well as appearing on screen.

Following her breast cancer diagnosis and her recovery from a mastectomy in 2021, she made an award-winning documentary Julia Bradbury: Breast Cancer & Me about her experience. She has supported prostate, ovarian and bowel cancer charities for many years and also campaigns for better diagnosis, research and funding into the disease Endometriosis.

Having discovered that between 30%-40% of cancers are preventable, Julia is now determined to speak up for a more personalised approach to health care, embracing new science and taking a preventative and integrative approach to well-being. Her passion is the natural world, and her cancer diagnosis and surgery have motivated her to dedicate her time supporting the benefits of healthy living and the virtues of nature therapy. She is a devoted mum of three, and credits motherhood with inspiring her on her quest for healthspan.
