Description

The cofounder of the holistic lifestyle website DailyOM presents a gentle and accessible step-by-step guide to moving from excessive reliance on medications to fundamentally healing yourself through four pillars of natural wellness.

Madisyn Taylor was plagued by depression and anxiety, suffering from chronic physical problems that left her desperate for solutions. Spending decades searching for answers, she first turned to the medical community, which put her on a rollercoaster course of numerous doctors, tests, and an unhealthy reliance on medications that left her numb and lifeless.

With her happiness and future on the line, she then made the decision to become unmedicated, reaching out to the natural, holistic health realm. And after years of practice and research, Madisyn developed an integrative wellness program that put her back in the driver’s seat of her health, and ultimately, her life.

Unmedicated is her thoughtful account of how she broke free from binding mental chains and physical ailments to be happy, healthy, and productive; it is also a guide for you to apply her practical techniques to your own healing journey. Madisyn offers a daily program of easy-to-follow actions based on four pillars that will build a lifelong foundation for health: clear your mind; strengthen your body; nurture your spirit; and find your tribe.

Whether you want to be happy and stay happy, find relief from depression and anxiety, or heal and create a healthy change, Unmedicated is a gentle, compassionate, and achievable path that empowers you to take back your life and live fully.

Interesting book. Not just for people wanting to withdraw from medication. In fact it is not really about medication at all, it is more about the author and her story, her way of doing things. It is more inspirational than instructional. I think it is a good one to read to see if there is anything you want to add to your own life from it. My favourite pillar was the second one. Overall a good read that you can take what you want from. Hopefully the greatest message is to listen to everyone but take control and do things your own way. Many thanks.

This is a very refreshing read with some well-known advises as meditation and with such simple steps as taking regular walks and having fun, but the key is to stay motivated and continue practicing all key-points on a regular basis to reach the deep calmness and to be in one with the Universe. Once you reach it, you will know it. And if feels amazing as I’ve experienced it myself before, but lost it. And now I’m looking forward to achieving it again. This is a great motivational book, well-explained why you should take those steps.
