Well rounded book with information for someone just getting started

This was too much detail on things I already understand, so for me, it wasn’t a good selection. That being said, if you are just starting out on making lifestyle changes for managing auto immune issues this is a great book for you. ( )

Overall this is a good book. It goes through the various parts of your life that can have a major impact on your autoimmune diseases, such as stress, sleep, exercise, diet and supplements. It is written in plain and simple to understand language and does make it easier to cope with an autoimmune diagnosis. For me, the only fault of the book was the included recipes. None of them really inspired me or were to my taste. I think there are better sources for recipes than this book. But it still has its place in the autoimmune literature. ( )

nonfiction (life coaching for folks with autoimmune issues). If you are the 1 in 6* people who have (or suspect you have) autoimmune issues, you'll want to read everything you can get your hands on in terms of alleviating or preventing symptoms. This book wasn't as helpful as others I've read, but it does go into the different aspects of a holistic approach--diet, stress relief, exercise, sleep, etc., and also offers tips on finding medical practitioners and professionals who can help (i.e., who won't just think you're a hypochondriac, or that you're "too sensitive").

*according to the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association, Inc. (I don't know what data they have to back this up and feel like they can't possibly know that, but there is certainly a long line of people requesting this book from my library, so it might be true.) ( )
