Synopsis

Almost half of Americans struggle with illness--everything from heart disease, diabetes, and lupus to fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer or chronic pain. More than a third of our population is obese. As a nation, we are sick--and getting sicker, but it doesn't have to be that way.

Janette, who suffered with chronic illness for six years, knows how difficult it can be to get your health back.

So instead of prescribing a specific treatment, diet, or exercise routine, Everyday Healing provides daily action steps to help you eliminate old habits and establish new paths to health. It offers practical guidance on overcoming healing challenges--from organizing your kitchen in order to cook healthier meals and boosting your confidence that you can heal, to having a tough conversation with an unsupportive spouse.

Readers of Everyday Healing will find:

Personal stories and medical studies that demonstrate the power of each daily action step.

Tips to research and evaluate new treatment options effectively.

Tools to manage tough emotions and create a fabulous support team.

Organizing principles to routinize healthy eating, sleeping, and exercise.

Review:

"In over fifteen years of medical practice, I've learned that each individual's healing process is unique. In that regard, Everyday Healing is a breath of fresh air. Instead of giving you a one-size-fits-all prescription, Janette lovingly provides the tools to find your own path to health and stick to it. It's a must-read for anyone seeking real healing."
--Andrew D. Shiller, MD, founder of Integrative Rehabilitation Medicine

"I love, love, love this book! Janette has traveled the healing journey and it shows. She lays out a clear, compassionate path that has made an enormous difference in my health.
If you read one book on healing, this is it!"
--Marilyn Paul, Ph.D., best-selling author of It's Hard to Make a Difference When You Can't Find Your Keys
