End Chronic Disease

This book is based on the author's experience and explains the interconnected healing power of various aspects of beliefs, behaviours and bacteria along with their interrelationships. She highlights the importance of values, wisdom, nourishment, intuition, positive emotions and a sense of connection, suggesting that people ask themselves how they got to this point in their lives. Under behaviours, there are chapters on eating, breathing, sleep, exercise, cooking, redefining stress, connecting with nature and honouring your transitions. The third section explains the importance of symbiotic relationships with microbes, including in the microbiome. The process begins at birth, and bacterial biodiversity is correlated with resilience. It was interesting to learn about the immunological role of the appendix and tonsils. Our immune system is described in a holistic context and it is evident that we need a new understanding of the processes of chronic disease, but the good news is that we can all make responsible and intelligent lifestyle choices to modify our bodily processes.
