The essential, whole-person care guide for all affected by breast and ovarian cancer, including guidance on integrative therapies, nutritious food recipes, inspiring stories, and much more, from Sue Weldon, founder and CEO of the national nonprofit Unite for HER and the organization's team of expert advisors.
During cancer treatment, patients grapple with evolving treatments, diagnoses, and an intense range of physical and emotional effects. With clear and organized information, Heal Empower Restore brings supportive therapies into focus for patients, giving knowledge and access to ways they can care for themselves and promote healing physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Heal Empower Restore shares the whole-body comprehensive care approach of Unite for HER, the nonprofit founded by Sue Weldon that has served tens of thousands of breast and ovarian cancer patients by supporting their ability to adhere to medical treatment plans, boost quality of life, and improve outcomes. With this guide from Sue and Unite for HER's network of doctors and expert practitioners, anyone diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer can begin building their own roadmap to healing during and beyond their immediate cancer treatment.
The book serves as a bridge between the medical and wellness communities, highlighting integrative therapies like medical acupuncture, yoga, meditation, fitness, reiki, oncology massage, and mental and sexual health counseling. Each chapter discusses the science behind the supportive therapy, symptom management notes, stories from Sue and reactions from other patients who have used it in their healing, and recommendations from medical professionals on incorporating the therapy into a cancer treatment regimen. Heal Empower Restore also offers detail on healthy personal care products, and is complete with nutrition guides and more than 40 food-and-drink recipes packed with ingredients proven to help minimize deficiencies and offer relief from treatment-related side effects, from fatigue to metallic taste to digestive problems and sleeplessness.
With science-backed guidance, nourishing recipes, and the inspiring stories, Heal Empower Restore returns agency to cancer patients both during and after medical treatment, showing them how they can regain control even with a disease in which they often feel powerless. Sue Weldon's journey as an entrepreneur and healthcare advocate began with her mission to empower those facing breast and ovarian cancer. As the CEO and Founder of Unite for HER, she has devoted her life's work to enhancing the lives of those impacted by the disease through a comprehensive, integrative approach to whole patient care. Her personal struggle with breast cancer inspired Sue to create an organization that would make a difference in not only her local community, but now nationwide. Sue, a devoted mother of three grown children, cherishes her family deeply and takes immense pride in seeing them flourish.
Unite for HER is a national nonprofit founded in 2009 by Sue Weldon that supports breast cancer and ovarian cancer patients by providing integrative therapies, community, education, and more resources at no personal cost.
