When Stress Makes You Sick

If you’ve ever “done everything right” and still suffered with illness or disease, you may have already discovered this. Looking for solutions from the outside – from doctors, pills, surgeries, therapies, etc. – can only go so far. Unless you also look at your health from the inside out, your symptoms will often return.

When stress makes you sick, it’s a wake-up call. It’s time to go inside, be with yourself, and learn to listen to your body. As you become more mindful, you begin to realize that it is your ally, not your enemy. Health complaints, illnesses and even side-effects from medications are simply your body’s way of speaking to you. It’s trying to get your attention – before it’s too late. It’s so important to stop judging your body and find some gratitude for this sacred communication.

In this book, Fay Jones, MS, L.Ac., breaks down the stress response and explains why it can be so harmful to your body. She explores self-awareness and self-care practices as key to minimizing that stress. While this is not the only way to achieve true health, it is often the missing ingredient that will allow you to break through to higher levels of health and stay healthier longer!
