Healing Mindset: A Guide to the Mind-Body Connection for People with Autoimmune Disease

About


What is a healing mindset? Simply put, it’s the practice of harnessing the anti-inflammatory power of our minds to support autoimmune health. It’s realizing that some thoughts and behaviors ramp up inflammation and others tone it down. This book is a roadmap to doing less of the former and more of the latter. Inside, you’ll find over 90 mind-body techniques written specifically for people with autoimmune disease. It also includes beginner tips, advanced troubleshooting, and testimonials by fellow autoimmune warriors who have experienced the power of the mind-body connection in their own lives.

The immune system is directly impacted by stress. Stress not only increases inflammation, but it also increases autoimmune activity, including how often you flare, how long it lasts, and how severe your symptoms. If you have autoimmune disease, this won’t surprise you. It’s why so many people list stress as one of their biggest flare triggers. That’s a painful demonstration of the mind-body connection. But the good news is that there are ways we can harness this connection for good, and that’s what this book is all about!
