I received this digital copy for free via BookSirens, I am leaving this review voluntarily.

The author describes her personal experience with traditional medicine. She developed a curiosity and wonder about natural healing and making a connection between health and lifestyle. She was fascinated by how each body system worked in union with each other. It is beneficial to understand the relationship between stress and emotions on your hormones which in turn affect your digestive system.

The body gives you signals if you pay attention which could help you prevent a serious or chronic condition. The uncomfortable feelings of imbalance are your body’s way to communicate to you. The author proposes exercises and questions within the book to help you become aware of your body sensors. There are suggestions on ways in which you can manage and ease the conditions which can ultimately culminate into a syndrome of symptoms if ignored.

The author sums it best with the following comment:

“The truth is, there is no medicine you can take that will replace what you can do for your own health.” ( )

This is a quick, easy-to-read book that really helps guide the reader to understand what's best for their own health without shouting the do's and don'ts of what a person thinks they SHOULD be doing into their ear. Instead, the author encourages us to find what works best for ourselves whenever it comes down to our health. Patel does a great job of letting us know that we are the boss of our body and that we should be our own advocates. I also learned something that I knew all along, really, but needed to be reminded of--I have to be selfish in order to be healthy. She stresses this a lot and I'm glad she does; there is great advice in this book about it. Speaking of "stress", it affects the body in so many ways and the author acknowledges that very well. I liked the advice Patel gives in general, the workbook-like questions that honestly make you think about your health and yourself, and just how well-written this book is. The only thing that bothered me a bit was how many case studies were involved. It became a bit of an interruption for me now and then. Overall, however, I would recommend this book and I enjoyed it.
