“Brain Inflamed”
What an amazing book!!! This easy to read book details what brain encephalitis looks like. It effects psychological function as much a physical functions! An angry brain can be illness related (Strep, EBV, Mycoplasma, etc.) and not purely mental dysfunction alone. There needs to be a merge in care between psychosomatic symptoms and traditionally recognized illness symptoms. Here is a great place to learn those crossovers, learn how to best advocate for yourself or your child, and find questions and answers to what you are facing. I can’t recommend this book enough! Buy the paper copy so you can write notes in it, you’ll be glad you did!

“The Autoimmune Brain”
“A Five-Step Plan for Treating Chronic Pain, Depression, Anxiety, Fatigue, and Attention Disorders”… What a great book! While a bit difficult to read (have a dictionary handy!) it is a wealth of powerful knowledge to help you navigate you or your child’s wellness. Detail explanations, symptomology, and how to approach your doctor with confidence and the right questions… this book will be one you read a few times over!
Dr. Datis Kharrazian
“Why do I still have thyroid symptoms”
This is the book that made my life do a 180 and It’s the book I most recommend! Dr. Kharrazian breaks down thyroid disease into 6 basic variations and then takes those 6 and elaborates them into 22 more specific details. He lets you know how to speak to your doctor, what your tests mean and how to best steer toward health. Buy a paper copy, you’ll likely write all over this book!

What a fabulous book. Ever wondered how stress effects your body?
