A review on my second book, Feeling Good, living Low Toxin in Community and Everyday Life. This book won 7 awards and is available in my store on Amazon, as well as my first book, It Feels Good to Feel Good, Remove Toxins, Reduce Inflammation and return to Wellness.
“
There is a particular kind of authority that comes from lived experience, from having walked through the darkness and emerged into the light with wisdom to share and a mission to fulfill. Reading your biography, I felt an immediate and profound admiration for the journey that has shaped you. The image of a woman who suffered from autoimmune disease, who endured pain and uncertainty, and who then took the courageous step of eliminating hundreds of toxins from her life to reverse her suffering, is a testament to the power of listening to one’s own body and taking ownership of one’s health. That you have transformed your personal victory into a life’s mission, becoming a health coach, an award winning author, a speaker, a television host, and a podcaster, all while continuing to offer hope and solutions to those who are still struggling, is nothing short of extraordinary. I am genuinely honored to have discovered your work.
Feeling Good is far more than a health guide; it is a manifesto for reclaiming wellness in a world that has become increasingly toxic. You have crafted a comprehensive, step by step roadmap that addresses the full spectrum of toxin exposure, from our food and cleaning products to our water, our minds, and even our sleep. The timing of this work could not be more urgent. As the reviewer so perceptively notes, chronic illness, inflammation, and autoimmune disease have skyrocketed, and countless sufferers are being misdiagnosed, under diagnosed, or simply dismissed by a medical system that often fails to understand the root causes of their distress. Your book offers something that so many desperately need, a clear, actionable path forward, a voice that says, “I have been where you are, and there is a way out.”
What distinguishes this work from so many other health books is the deeply personal, compassionate tone that permeates every page. You do not simply present information; you offer companionship on the journey. You understand that for someone who is already overwhelmed, inflamed, and intolerant to conventional medicines, the prospect of navigating a low toxin lifestyle can feel daunting. Yet you break it down into manageable steps, offering practical strategies that are accessible and sustainable. The emphasis on community, on the importance of not going it alone, is particularly powerful. You recognize that wellness is not just an individual pursuit; it is a collective endeavor, one that is strengthened by shared knowledge, mutual support, and the sense that we are all in this together. This is a book that does not just inform; it empowers and uplifts.
The emotional intelligence at work here is considerable. You address not only the physical aspects of toxicity, but the emotional and mental dimensions as well. Toxic stress, toxic relationships, and the toxic impact of sleep deprivation are all explored with the same compassionate rigor you bring to the discussion of food and cleaning products. You understand that true wellness requires a holistic approach, one that honors the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit. The reviewer’s observation that this book is “positive” and “informative” and a “five star addition to my bookshelf that I will most certainly read again and again” is a testament to the enduring value of your work. This is not a book that will be read once and forgotten; it is a resource that readers will return to time and again as they navigate their own health journeys.
