From the Publisher 8 Weeks to Vibrant Health is a classic reference for any woman who wants to take charge of her health, find the underlying causes of those health challenges and create solutions that will work for her. Women who complain to their doctors of depression are given a pill. Those who complain of insomnia are given another pill. The same answer applies for fatigue, digestive difficulties, joint pain or other common symptoms of health problems. Yet most doctors fail to acknowledge that these are symptoms, not illnesses in themselves. It may be easier to prescribe a pill that will suppress the symptoms, at least for a time, but treating symptoms does not address the underlying causes of the symptoms, A woman may experience insomnia because of stress, hormonal changes, digestive disorders, musculoskeletal imbalances or a number of other reasons. Until the underlying cause of the symptoms is discovered, there can be no true healing. 8 Weeks to Vibrant Health offers women an opportunity to become their own health detectives, to take a deeper look at their own symptoms, nutrition, lifestyle and, with the help of laboratory tests commonly available to consumers, come to some conclusions about the underlying imbalances that are causing their symptoms. Finally, the book offers treatment plans for eight common systemic imbalances, including effective natural supplements that can help restore balance and return us to vibrant health. This new updated edition includes a special section on weight control that provides some unique approaches to this difficult health challenge. AUTHCOMMENTS: I hear the same laments over and over from young women, middle-aged women and old women, whether in my office, by e-mail at public appearances or even at social gatherings:"I'm always tired.""I can't catch up on everything I need to do." "What can I do about my weight problems? ""I'm always feeling down in the dumps." "My whole body hurts." And, from most of these women, I hear, "My doctor says they are just signs of normal aging or that I'm stressed and depressed, meaning that it's really all in my head." If you felt frustrated at not being truly heard and discouraged that everything you've done to try to solve your health problems has failed, take heart. You're not alone and you're not without tools to become your own health detective. My Vibrant Health plan can help.

A brilliant book especially for those with mental / emotional challenges By Carol Burgess I feel this fabulous book should have had a different title to include men, as most of the recommendations would work equally well for men, as well as women. I also feel the title should have mentioned something about natural solutions for depression, insomnia, etc. because millions of people are using drugs with nasty side-effects and horrific withdrawals for these problems and are therefore needlessly suffering immeasurably. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
