Book Description
When science journalist Donna Jackson Nakazawa found herself collapsed at the top of her stairs, too exhausted from climbing them to continue with a simple load of laundry, she faced a profound realization. After years of managing autoimmune disorders through conventional medicine, she had lost something precious: her joy. While her husband and children moved through life below, she recognized that illness wasn't just affecting her body—it was stealing her ability to fully participate in the moments that mattered most.
Determined to reclaim her vitality, Nakazawa embarked on a year-long exploration of mind-body healing approaches. Working with a progressive physician trained in integrative medicine, she investigated meditation, yoga, acupuncture, and other alternative therapies to understand what science could reveal about chronic illness and recovery.
Her journey took an unexpected turn when she discovered groundbreaking research on Adverse Childhood Experiences. This revelation connected her current health struggles to the early loss of her father and family upheaval, providing a stunning new perspective on how childhood trauma can manifest as adult illness. This discovery became the key that unlocked her path to genuine healing.
Through honest storytelling and intelligent analysis, Nakazawa shares practical strategies that readers can access themselves while revealing how understanding our past can transform our present health and happiness.
