Build Optimal Energy and Health in Body, Mind, and Spirit Ever wondered why you’re feeling out of balance, stressed-out, sick, and exhausted but still can’t sleep? Western medicine often ignores the underlying issues that can lead to fatigue, illness, and disease, but there is a way to revitalize your body and mind without drugs or dangerous side effects. Ayurveda, the “science of life,” is a complete wellness system that includes all that we associate with medical care — prevention of disease, observation, diagnosis, and treatment — as well as self-care practices that are generally absent from Western medicine. This truly holistic approach considers not just diet, exercise, and genetics but also relationships, life purpose, finances, environment, and past experiences. In this thorough and practical book, Michelle Fondin guides you gently through self-assessment questions designed to zero in on your needs and the best practices for addressing them, such as eating plans, addiction treatment, detoxification, and techniques for improving relationships. She outlines easy steps you can take, with minimal cost, to heal common ailments such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, excess weight, anxiety, and depression. These time-tested methods for body, mind, and spirit wellness offer benefits to anyone at any age.

Have you been diagnosed with one of the seven deadly chronic lifestyle diseases: type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, certain types of cancer, obesity, arthritis, anxiety, or depression? Do you wish there were more choices to heal your illness? According to the National Health Council, 133 million Americans suffer from at least one chronic illness. By the year 2020, that number will have grown to a projected 157 million - or almost 50% of the adult U.S. population. With this alarming growth rate, we can deduct that modern medicine as we know it today doesn't have a steadfast solution for curing these chronic lifestyle diseases. Yet if we take an integrative approach to this problem and include complementary and alternative medicines, we might find the best of both worlds and tackle this growing health crisis. We must keep our minds and heart open to ancient healing wisdom, and we must treat the patient as a whole person rather than a set of symptoms. As a patient, it starts with you. Enlightened Medicine will help you understand how your body works and how to heal from within. Get empowered as you learn your part in the physician-patient relationship and how you can bring healing to the table by familiarizing yourself with the disease process and becoming an active participant in your path to wellness.
