About the Book

A New BMI promotes health as the relationship between body and mind, not height and weight. An innovative and intuitive approach to creating health, A New BMI's purpose is to educate, enlighten and inspire change from the current attitudes and behaviors regarding body weight and to move towards a greater understanding of how the mind influences the body. Body Mind Intelligence begins with awareness cultivated through appreciation and care for the physical self. Body Mind Intelligence requires the maintenance of a positive attitude and the ability to pay attention to the needs of the body through a mindful approach to physical activity. The book - A New BMI - explains why Body Mass Index fails so miserably. It explores how physical activity has such a positive impact on health and why inactivity is often ignored as a primary contributing factor to disease. Based upon the author's extensive career in the diet and exercise industry, her disillusionment with the status quo for the treatment of obesity left her no choice but to create a new approach to enhanced health and well-being. From her observations of clients who so desperately struggled with weight and body image, she discusses the impact of focusing upon the scale and disconnecting from the body. The book offers an enjoyable and refreshing method of combining the practice of mindfulness with physical activity. A New BMI is evolutionary in its approach and revolutionary in its impact.
About the Author: Peggy Norwood Stella, M.A. knows the diet and fitness industry from the inside-out. After 30 years as an exercise professional promoting weight loss as the path to health, she now knows a better way and is offering her insights in her latest book: A New BMI - Why Body Mind Intelligence Matters More than Body Mass Index. She herself observed the struggles of many desperate "dieters" while serving as fitness director for the most prominent residential weight loss programs in the world, including Duke Diet and Fitness Center, Pritikin Longevity Center and Structure House. When weight loss "success" started looking like an eating disorder and the majority of the "losers" regained, she started questioning her own role in perpetuating a diet mentality that seemed to do more harm than good. Realizing that there was far more to achieving health than focusing upon body weight, she created the concept of A New BMI. Peggy's current mission is to educate, enlighten and inspire change from the current attitudes and beliefs about body and health, and to move towards a greater awareness of how the mind influences the body. Based upon her own observations and experiences working in the diet and fitness industry, she realizes the futility of focusing upon the scale as a measure of success. She knows the consequences of disconnecting from the body. She encourages two simple actions that make the greatest overall difference in creating health and well-being: Moving the body and quieting the mind. Taking a mindful approach to moving the body helps the client engage with the body and enhances Body Mind Intelligence. As an innovator in fitness education, she believes that a strong, positive relationship with the body will enhance quality of life and she encourages participation in activities such as dance, yoga and hiking in the woods. She is also certified in Equine Interactive Coaching and finds horses are the perfect teachers of connection with the body and with one's authentic self. Her company's name, Equessence LLC, reflects that connection.
