This is a guide of sorts for treating the five big symptoms associated with autoimmune conditions - chronic pain, depression, anxiety, fatigue, and attention disorders. There is a lot of information on these pages, from descriptions of the nervous system and all its branches, medical and psychological case studies, and stories of patients with specific autoimmune conditions. It is very much an academic read and often dry. Younger shares a lot of helpful information, but I fear that for the layman who doesn't have an extensive knowledge of the medical/psychological industry, they might get lost in some of the language. I also worry that people might take some of the recommendations put forth in this book as treatment options over the treatment plans that may be put in place by their own doctors, and for some autoimmune conditions, neglecting those standard treatment plans could be deadly. This is a good resource for someone who is looking to supplement a regimen they are already following to see if they find additional benefits or relief of some of their symptoms. *Advance copy provided by the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Some of the material is a bit dense but there is a lot of good information. Along with detailed explaination of I-cubed and how autoimmunity impacts brain function, there are questionnaires, tips for meeting with doctors, tests that can be performed, and different treatment options. It goes beyond medicine and looks at mediation, therapy, diet, exercise, and environmental remedies. The book further details several common autoimmune disorders with case studies. This book is a good resource for anyone dealing with autoimmune issues.

Anyone with genetic history of autoimmune disease should read this. Many tips of what to look for and how important gut health is. I love the 5 step plan suggested.

Autoimmune disease runs in my family, so I was looking forward to reading this. I thought it was a very informative book. It felt well researched and I enjoyed reading it.

This book gives some solid, basic info on Autoimmune disorders. There are examples that could be helpfully to those newly diagnosed or their friends and loved ones.

The book is divided into multiple parts, and it explains the basics of brain health, as well as outlines a 5-Step Action Plan. Some information is a "hot topic" at this time (such as the Gut-Brain Connection). Due to the writing style, it's a bit hard to feel connected to the book, but it is informative. It feels like something you might read in a college class, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

The book is written for those who are looking for information on Autoimmune disorders and isn't sure what to read. The book has its moments but it comes down to a text book style of written and as examples of someone who is going though a something dealing with Autoimmune disorders.
The book lacked the ability to connect with the common man who is struggling with where to go and what to do once they have been diagnosed.
The author doesn't hold back their personal opinions while writing the book and what they feel with help individuals struggles.
Reader might find it helpful or interesting while others might find it is too much of text book reading or lack of direction for those who are just starting out.
