My recovery through multiple debilitating health challenges provided me with many insights. I soon realized that I could duplicate the 'symptom free' status I had achieved by having my clients follow the strategies that worked for me. In 2007 I started to write down the basics of my holistic health protocol, focusing on natural cures, with the intention of writing a 'guide - how to book' for my clients. I had so much information from my research and client results 'that worked'. It was impossible to constantly simply relay all this information to clients during visits - and overwhelming for them. My son Andrew felt very strongly that I needed to make this information available to the general public, because he knew it could help a lot of people; so I published my book, titled THE WHOLE PERSON WELL-BEING EQUATION in November of 2012. I knew he was right; if I knew a way for people to become healthy - I had to share it. The first source for a cure is often the medicine or supplement cabinet. These strategies are necessary therapeutically at times. Your body can provide the natural cures for many of your symptoms and health challenges. The human body was created with many amazing abilities and an inner pharmacy, often referred to as 'the doctor within'. Understanding and utilizing those often misunderstood and mostly forgotten powers is crucial to well-being. Exploring ways to continually develop and maintain strength of mind and body will enable you to better endure the demands of life with grace and confidence; ultimately allowing you to stay focused on the pursuit of meaningful goals. Change and fortitude often start with a healthy dose of fear. Sometimes the fear comes through a 'wake up call' resulting from debilitating symptoms, a diagnosis or loss of a loved one. Regardless of what brings you to your 'brick wall', being prepared is vital. Becoming knowledgeable about the factors affecting well-being and stocking your 'well-being toolbox' to be ready for future health challenges, is a sensible plan. Developing a well-being plan should take the same priority as your investment, travel and retirement plans. The WHOLE PERSON WELL-BEING EQUATION book is written in easy to follow steps with references for those who want a more in depth understanding. It is in essence 'a collection of natural cures in a book' for much of what ails you. The self-help strategies provide natural cures through mind/body healing, neuromuscular biofeedback, visualization, rejuvenation, herbs, nutrition, goal setting and changing limiting beliefs into surpassing beliefs - a holistic health methodology. Well-being is a journey not merely a destination. The information, self-help therapies and tools in this workbook and the Grace of God will not only enable you to meet the well-being challenges on your journey equipped; but will enhance your present well-being allowing you to live your life to its fullest and longest. Wrapping your brain around the holistic health approach may require a paradigm shift. You may have to rewrite your definition of what is possible about recovery and how health is restored. Those who can accept this new way of thinking, and follow my protocol are always pleasantly surprised at how they start to feel some improvement almost immediately, and renewed health as they continue with my regime. I guarantee the information in my book can change your life. See what people are saying about my holistic health approach at www.mybodycanhealitself.ca/what_people_are_saying.htm.
