In this revelatory memoir, doctor Cynthia Li shares the truth about
her struggle with a disabling autoimmune illness, the limitations
of Western medicine, and what sufferers need to know to truly begin
healing-mind, body, and spirit. Cynthia Li had it all: a successful
career in medicine, a loving marriage, children on the horizon. But
it all came crashing down when, within months of having her first
child, she developed mysterious symptoms that baffled her doctors.
After two years of "normal" test results with no relief from
Western medicine, Li was no longer well enough to practice. Her
quest for health became a solo odyssey-she had to find a way to
heal herself. Brave New Medicine details the disabling autoimmune
crisis that forced Li to question her own medical training and
embrace the integrative principles of functional medicine to unlock
her body's innate healing capacity . With the insight of an MD who
was able to dissect and heal the root causes of her own autoimmune
illness-one that conventional medicine said was incurable and
irreversible-Li relates her story, including the emotional and
spiritual shifts that occurred while investigating her true self,
beyond illness and the conditions of the body. Millions of people
are affected by chronic health conditions in the United States. But
while issues such as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME) and
fibromyalgia are receiving more and more attention, patients
struggling with these mysterious autoimmune conditions are still
dismissed by doctors and scientists in the established medical
community. This is the harsh reality that doctor-turned- "difficult
patient" Li faced firsthand when she developed autoimmune
thyroiditis and chronic hypothyroidism (or Hashimoto's). Drawing on
ancient healing arts, cutting-edge science, evolutionary biology,
and the power of laughter and pleasure, this memoir offers support,
validation, and a new perspective for anyone dealing with chronic
illness or another health crisis. By sharing her own autoimmunity
struggle, Li reveals the insider knowledge you need to start your
own healing journey.
