WHAT'S MISSING FROM MEDICINE?
A powerful prescription to prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic illnesses such as:
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Autoimmune diseases like lupus, multiple sclerosis–and many others!
The Author's Dramatic Personal Story of Healing!
In the fall of 1995, Dr. Saray Stancic was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. By 2003, she walked regularly with a cane, had given up virtually all unnecessary physical activity, and was on numerous medications, all with horrible side effects.
After stumbling upon some studies that linked MS outcomes to diet and lifestyle, Dr. Stancic undertook a radically different approach to managing her illness. Within a relatively short time period she was off all MS medications, walking normally, resumed dancing, and in 2010 she ran a marathon! Today she lives an active, symptom free life, and takes no medications for multiple sclerosis.
In What’s Missing from Medicine: Six Lifestyle Changes to Overcome Chronic Illness, Dr. Stancic shares her own inspiring story and explains the incredible power that specific lifestyle changes can have for those living with chronic illness.

A book about lifestyle change that engages the reader.
Beautifully written, and totally encouraging for anyone wanting to improve their health and well-being. WHAT’S MISSING FROM MEDICINE provides the reader with practical resources for lifestyle change.What I loved most about the book is that the tone set by Dr. Stancic’s written words was not “preachy.” Written with clarity, there’s a certain sense of “you can do this.”It’s hard to imagine that Dr. Stancic once lived a confined life d/t a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Today, she is living proof that “food as medicine” is a key to living a productive life.Sleep. Exercise. Plant-Centered Plate...and more.The templates at the end of the book will help the reader develop better sleep hygiene patterns, eating, etc. The eating templates focus not only what you eat, but focusing on the importance of the “designated eating area.”Thank you to Dr. Stancic for sharing the book. Friends and I are starting a book club, bec the topics of the book are so important, especially, today.
