In this revelatory memoir, doctor Cynthia Li shares the truth other doctors don't always understand and often won't share if they do-that chronic illness is complicated, and that treatment is not just a matter of test results and prescriptions but requires a more comprehensive approach. By sharing her own struggle with a disabling autoimmune crisis, which forced her to question her own conventional medical training and embrace the integrative principles of functional medicine, Li reveals the insider knowledge sufferers need to truly begin healing-mind, body, and spirit.
