More Light - eBook

 

Are you looking for up to date, science-based information from a trusted source guiding you on how to manage your health and improve your quality of life?

Then More Light is for you!

By reading More Light you can:

  • Learn to leverage your body’s ability to change (e.g., neuroplasticity, epigenetics and the microbiome).
  • Learn to support your physical, mental and emotional well-being.
  • Read new research on topics such as diagnosis, sleep, diet, energy, environment, pain and emotions.
  • Learn strategies used by diverse experts (e.g., Colleen Carney and Rachel Manber on treating insomnia, Michael Moskowitz and Marla Golden on transforming pain, and Byron Katie on finding acceptance and many more).
  • Access links and references to resources.
  • Answer questions at the end of each chapter to help you implement the ideas.

ME/CFS, FM, ES and Long COVID are biomedical conditions with extensively researched biomedical abnormalities. Despite their best efforts, many people who are severely ill with these conditions experience limited lives with considerable suffering. There is an urgent need for effective therapeutic options. In the meantime, there is a lot that you, as individuals, can do.

In More Light I share the clinical approaches I have found most useful for my own health and in my more than 20 year medical practice with diverse patients. The emphasis is on interventions that are affordable and that you can do yourself, with minimal guidance. More Light builds upon but does not repeat content from Let Your Light Shine Through. It expands on the information in my online course Pathways to Improvement.
