From Dr. Jennifer Ashton-the Chief Medical Correspondent at ABC News covering breaking medical
news for Good Morning America and GMA3: What You Need to Know-comes a doctor's guide to finding
resilience in the time of COVID while staying safe and sane in a rapidly changing world.In
March 2020 normal life changed perhaps forever. In its place we were confronted with life and
routines that were unusual and different: the new normal. As we've all learned since then the
new normal isn't just about wearing masks and standing six feet apart-it's about recognizing
how to stay safe and sane in a world that is suddenly unfamiliar. And no one understands this
evolving landscape better than Dr. Jennifer Ashton. As ABC's Chief Medical Correspondent Dr.
Ashton has been reporting on the novel coronavirus daily helping Americans comprehend the
urgent medical updates that have shaped the nation's continued response to this public health
crisis. Now in The NewNormal Dr. Ashton offers the essential toolkit for life in this
unfamiliar reality. Rooted in her reporting on COVID-19 and the understanding that the virus
isn't going anywhere overnight The New Normal is built on a simple foundation: thriving in
this evolving world demands accepting the new normal for what it is not what we want it to be.
No longer is wellness a buzzword but an imperative for surviving this unprecedented time.
Using her trademark practical easy-to-follow advice Dr. Ashton gives you all the necessary
information to reclaim control of your life and live safely-from exercise to diet to general
health-showing how to prepare your body and mind for challenges such as: - Taking proper
medical precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones - Exercising during the pandemic
even if you no longer feel safe at the gym - Finding emotional balance through these uncertain
times - Deciphering complicated medical news to learn what to trust and what to ignore With
these straightforward and accessible strategies and many more Dr. Ashton helps empower you to
make the unexpectedly hard decisions about socializing food-shopping seeing doctors and most
of all finding normalcy. At once reassuring and urgent The New Normal is a holistic roadmap
through the ongoing struggles of the pandemic providing the guidance you need to navigate this
unsettling time and take charge of your future wellbeing.
