Recharge your life and realize your potential with an introspective
approach to holistic health
In Discovering Optimal, Joseph Gibbons, a professor in Exercise Science and
Lifestyle Management, and a nationally accredited mental health first aid
instructor and practitioner, takes readers on his own eye-opening journey to
optimal health and wellness while offering the latest scientific findings to help
them uncover their unique blueprint for mental, physical, and spiritual
wellbeing.
Key to Gibbons's program is the concept of energy management. The majority
of us are running dangerously low on energy, attributable to the type of fuel
we provide our cells, the effects of the self-talk that narrates our days, and the
amount and quality of sleep we get. This depleted state makes it nearimpossible to live life to its fullest, and worse, can put us on a path toward
chronic illness and disease. But by following a whole-body approach, Gibbons
shows that it's possible to rewire one's psychology and physiology in order to
break the burnout cycle.
Through introspective exercises to help readers identify their personal
obstacles to living optimally, and strategies and techniques to support them in
realigning their health priorities, Discovering Optimal provides the building
blocks for individuals to reenergize, revitalize, and reinvigorate their minds
and bodies.
Joseph Gibbons is a full-time professor at Humber College where he holds
exemplary faculty status. He has 20 years of experience as a professor,
exercise physiologist, health and lifestyle coach, and mental health first aid
instructor.
Joseph's mission is to help people overcome the life obstacles that impedes
their journey towards optimal physical, mental, and spiritual health.
