ABOUT THE WHOLE HEALTH LIFE

Being healthy in this crazy, busy, modern world is not easy.

For Shannon Harvey, the journalist and filmmaker behind the feature documentary, The Connection: Mind Your Body, finding a solution to this problem became personal when she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that had no known cause and no known cure. After being told by her doctor that she could end up in a wheelchair, she realised she had to take action.

This inspired a ten-year journey, where she spent more than $30,000 on conventional and alternative treatments, searched through thousands of scientific papers, and traveled the world to interview dozens of pioneering health researchers from leading institutions such as Harvard and Stanford. On her road to getting better she met people with remarkable stories of recovery, discovered the truth amidst conflicting medical advice and sorted the quacks from the experts. She has now compiled the latest evidence and her personal experiences into one book to help you find the answers to good health.

Discover why:

  • Meditation can turn off genes affecting disease.
  • Sitting is considered the new smoking.
  • One simple change to your diet can add years to your life.
  • A walk in nature can boost your cancer fighting cells by more than 50%.
  • Getting enough sleep makes you smarter, faster, and even better looking.
  • Being positive can help you heal more quickly from a wound.
  • Loneliness is on par with obesity and addiction as a leading risk factor in chronic disease.
