After she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in her early twenties, Phoebe Lapine bounced among every fad diet and new health program on the bestseller lists in her attempt to get well only to experience mixed results and a life of deprivation that seemed unsustainable at best. In response, she adopted twelve of her own wellness directives-including eliminating sugar, switching to all-natural beauty products, and getting in touch with her spiritual side-to find out which lifestyle changes truly impacted her health for the better. The Wellness Project is the insightful and hilarious result of that year of exploration-part memoir and part health and wellness primer (complete with twenty healthy recipes), it's a must-read, not just for those suffering from autoimmune disease, but for anyone looking for simple ways to improve their health without sacrificing life's pleasures.
