Whether you’re experiencing occasional physical or emotional discomfort, feeling the common effects of aging, or coping with chronic illness, private chef Ariane Resnick‘s How to Be Well When You’re Not gives you tools and techniques (and delicious recipes!) for strengthening one simple belief: You can feel better.
Inspired by certified nutritionist Ariane Resnick’s own struggles with Lyme disease and carbon monoxide poisoning, this wellness manual explores the healing capabilities of your own body and mind. While many such guides offer general, one-size-fits-all advice, How to Be Well When You’re Not helps you focus on your individual, specific needs, and utilizes free, simple, accessible tools. With writing exercises, physical practices, and advice for coping with emotional challenges, this book is great for restoring hope in your life and believing you are more — and you are greater — than your illness.
Proven to build health, renewal, and recovery on a cellular level, mindfulness exercises fill you with gratitude for your full self to dispel negative energy and take your identity back, and revitalizing recipes made with whole foods give you the nutrition and delightful flavors for feeling better every day. Additionally, the story of Ariane’s own journey through five years of sickness and the invaluable lessons it taught her, all of which she incorporates in her expertise as a private special diet chef, will help you feel less alone. Once you believe you have the power to recover, hope replaces fear and uncertainty to give your mind the space and time it needs to heal and ease your pain.
