Good morning!
I wanted to share some of the self-healing, mind/body books I’ve been reading lately. They’re all a little bit different and have really great information in the them.

Let’s start with my favorite book…
Brave New Medicine by Cynthia Li, MD
This book was life-changing for me! I got an advanced copy from the author, but you can find it on Amazon. It’s written by a traditional western medicine doctor who is diagnosed with an automminue disease that knocks her down to the point where she can’t get off the couch. She shares how she totally changed her thinking to heal. It was really interesting to read about the mentality of a doctor’s point of view as she writes about the various elements to wellbeing. It’s a really good story, and I highly recommend this read if you’ve ever struggled with chronic disease.
Self-Healing: Colitis & Crohn’s by David Klein, Ph.D
This book is all about food combining and is very pro-vegan diet. I’m just getting into it, but it’s all about the mind-body connection and how the body works. I’ve found it really interesting so far, and if you’ve tried every diet under the sun like me (I’ve tried a lot!), I definitely suggest opening up this book. You can find the book on Amazon.
The Body Heals Itself by Emily A. Francis
This book is about the physical connection between the mind and body (it includes a lot of diagrams). It explains how various muscles are connected to certain emotions (i.e. tight hips and psoas). There are different affirmations and ways to connect to your body and then physically release your muscles.
Mind Over Meds by Andrew Weil, MD
I love Dr. Weil and had high hopes for this book, but it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for. It talks about antibiotics, steroids, sleep aids, and when to use certain drugs, but it wasn’t exactly for me.
Heal Your Mind by Mona Lisa Schulz with Louise Hay
This book had an entire section on anxiety, which I was really into. It talks about what to do for anxiety, how do deal with it, and why you have it. A few other chapters were about depression, addiction, and memory. The anxiety section was on point for me and very helpful!
If you get one book, get Brave New Medicine (when it comes out). It was absolutely fascinating!
Do you have any favorite self-healing, mind/body books? Please share!
