If you’re in pursuit of empowerment, enlightenment, and a holistic approach to your healing journey, it’s time to start building your own Living Well Library.
Here’s four more helpful books for cancer patients to learn simple things you can test, ask for, and do to support your body in this season of healing. This is a clickable look at a few of my favorite books I’ve been reading or re-visiting these past few months.

Since I believe you’re here because, like me, you’re dedicated to doing everything possible to support your body’s healing and reduce the risk of future cancer growth, I wanted to make it easy for you to order these books, so all you have to do is click anywhere it says “GET THIS BOOK” and it will take you directly to that book.
