Book excerpt: "Almost half the U.S. population is affected by a chronic illness--from heart disease, diabetes, and lupus to fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, or cancer. More than a third of that population is obese. Even more disturbingly, many of these patients fail to take prescribed medications or make necessary lifestyle changes. As a nation, we are sick--and getting sicker. Janette, who suffered with chronic illness for six years, knows how difficult necessary lifestyle changes can be. So instead of prescribing a specific treatment, diet, or exercise routine, Everyday Healing provides daily action steps to help you eliminate old habits and establish new paths to health. It offers practical guidance on overcoming healing challenges--from organizing your kitchen in order to cook healthier meals and boosting your confidence that you can heal, to having a tough conversation with an unsupportive spouse. Readers of Everyday Healing will find: Personal stories and medical studies that demonstrate the power of each daily action step. Tips to effectively research and evaluate new treatment options. Tools to manage tough emotions and create a fabulous support team. Organizing principles and time-management skills to routinize healthy eating, sleeping, and exercise"--
