Author Description

If you've ever "done everything right" and still suffered with illness or disease, you may have already discovered that there is much more to health than what you eat and how much you exercise. Looking for solutions from the outside -from doctors, pills, surgeries, therapies, etc. - can only go so far. Unless you begin to look at your health from the inside out, your symptoms often persist or return. When stress makes you sick, it's a wake-up call. It's time to take your relationship with your body to a new level; time to go inside, be with yourself and learn to listen. As you become more mindful, you begin to realize that your body is not the enemy, but an ally. Health complaints, illnesses and even side-effects from medications are simply the body's way of speaking to you. It's trying to get your attention - before it's too late! In this book, Fay Jones breaks down the stress response in a way that's easy to understand and simple to see why it can be so harmful to your body. She explores self-awareness and self-care practices as key to minimizing that stress. While this may not be the only way to achieve health, it is often the missing ingredient that will allow you to break through to higher levels of health and stay healthier longer.
