How do you define health? If you believe it is merely the absence of disease, you may be surprised. In this book, Dr. Forleo’s wealth of knowledge and insight opens the doors to vibrant, high-level wellness that is much more than the “adequate” health we so often settle for. This vital health encompasses the whole self: biochemistry, structure, emotion, thought, and spirit, and is characterized by energy and growth. It is in this full state that we are designed to live, and this book will pave the way.
The simplicity of health comes from being attuned to and working with the body’s inner intelligence. To give readers the tools to better interpret the body’s signs and messages, Dr. Forleo walks through each major organ system, clearly and simply explaining their importance and function. Then, he offers focused, self-care exercises and tips, including nutritional recommendations and techniques from a wide array of healing practices.
Using these tips, you will be able to formulate a personalized treatment plan designed to:
•Release pain and emotions using simple acupressure • Align your posture to best support your frame • Create a healthy immune system • Improve the function of your endocrine glands • Reveal and address nutritional deficiencies
Two lengthy appendices offer resources for each chapter and several specific health assessments. These, along with a thorough bibliography and index make this book an invaluable resource for both health-care providers and their patients.
