What is the story behind the title?
Health yourself simply means you have the power to change your health status once you have the understanding, the tools and a plan. I address how we can take charge of our own health.
How much does this book represent you?
I am very transparent about my own health in this book. Since being both a patient and health expert I can relate. It was important to share my journey coupled with my years of experience so many others too could embark on a healthier and purposeful life.
Name three takeaways for readers from the book.
They will think, eat and live healthier by getting understanding about food misconceptions, an overview of our body’s systems, and learn proactive tips and tools that will assist in them reaching their health goals.
What were the biggest challenges you faced while trying to bring your work to life?
Getting out of my own way. [I was] uncertain if sharing my own personal journey would be embarrassing [but I] realized how my knowledge and experience could help others. I sometimes think it’s so simple and “everyone should know this,” but they don’t, and it is my mission to help others.
