Synopsis

Discover how to harness your body’s innate healing mechanisms to recover faster and more completely from virtually any condition, from common colds to chronic disease, by the author of Be Fruitful and cohost of the Body of Wonder podcast, and in collaboration with the AARP.

What if your body already has all the healing tools it needs—and you just need to learn how to activate them?

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Victoria Maizes, a pioneer of integrative medicine, reveals the remarkable power of what she calls the “rapid recovery reflex”—your body’s built-in ability to restore balance and heal from illness, injury, and stress.

Drawing on forty years of medical experience and cutting-edge research, Dr. Maizes shows that complete recovery is possible for a wide range of conditions when you know how to support your body’s natural healing processes. From short-term ailments—like colds and sprains—to chronic conditions—like asthma and diabetes—to recovering from surgery, this book offers evidence-based strategies to heal faster and more completely.

Inside you’ll discover:
-Science-backed strategies that can speed up recovery from common ailments (like GERD, UTIs, anxiety, asthma, and eczema), chronic conditions, and even surgery.
- Surprising reasons why you should sometimes let your body’s natural inflammatory response do its healing work.
-A personalized Recovery Toolkit with essential supplements, practices, and remedies for different conditions.
-Integrative tools that really work when managing mental health, stress, and anxiety.

Rather than merely treating symptoms, Dr. Maizes shows how to address the root causes of illness while providing practical tools for activating your rapid recovery reflex. This comprehensive guide empowers you to take charge of your health and tap into your body’s remarkable ability to heal itself.

Overall, I did not fin......more
