THE WHOLE HEALTH LIFE BOOK

 
After making The Connection people kept asking me about my story. To try and answer many of those questions I wrote The Whole Health Life.

SYNOPSIS:

Being healthy in this crazy, busy, modern world is not easy.

For journalist Shannon Harvey, finding a solution to this problem became personal when she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that had no known cause and no known cure. After being told by her doctor that she could end up in a wheelchair, she realised she had to take action. 

This inspired a ten-year journey, where she spent more than $30,000 on conventional and alternative treatments, searched through thousands of scientific papers, and traveled the world to interview dozens of pioneering health researchers from leading institutions such as Harvard and Stanford. On her road to getting better she met people with remarkable stories of recovery, discovered the truth amidst conflicting medical advice and sorted the quacks from the experts. She has now compiled the latest evidence and her personal experiences into one book to help you find the answers to good health.

Discover why:

  • Meditation can turn off genes affecting disease.

  • Sitting is considered the new smoking.

  • One simple change to your diet can add years to your life.

  • A walk in nature can boost your cancer fighting cells by more than 50%.

  • Getting enough sleep makes you smarter, faster, and even better looking.

  • Being positive can help you heal more quickly from a wound.

  • Loneliness is on par with obesity and addiction as a leading risk factor in chronic disease.

And much more... 

From dealing with work stress, to improving your relationships at home, or making healthy habits stick, understand how your mind, body, and the world around you influences your health more than you think. Whether you are struggling to get well, or simply want to know what you can do today to stay healthy, this book is filled with real-world, simple, evidence-based solutions to improve your health from every aspect, adding years to your life and saving you thousands of dollars in medical expenses.

This is a guidebook for anyone who wants to get healthy, find balance, and live better.


In The Whole Health Life Shannon Harvey writes with real heart, relentless honesty, journalistic insight and broad understanding. On top of all that the writing itself is often beautiful. You will be moved, informed and most certainly changed. This is a gift from the author; a book to treasure.
