GRAHAM MUSIC, Consultant Psychotherapist at the Tavistock Clinic and author of Nurturing Natures---We think of babyhood and old age as polar opposites on the spectrum of life. Yet they are profoundly linked. Our early experiences set us up for a lifetime of good mental and physical health, or for future health challenges.1,001 Days will explore the vital and often overlooked factors that determine our lifelong health. Delving into the latest research in the fields of medicine, neuroscience and psychobiology, acclaimed psychotherapist and author Sue Gerhardt explains how many of the most common illnesses affecting our society today – from type 2 diabetes to cardiovascular disease, depression and dementia – have their roots in pre- and post-natal childhood development.She challenges the political and cultural assumptions that hinder us from acting on what science is telling us – for example, that ill health is often seen as a result of wrong `lifestyle` choices. The evidence she brings to light could change the way we approach illness, prevention, screening and cure within our healthcare and wider social systems.There is no simple cause and effect that explains an individual`s health outcomes. But in learning about the ways your childhood continues to shape your health today, you can feel empowered to seek the help you need.
