The Doctor in the Mirror

by Reed Tuckson

The Doctor in the Mirror is centered on a simple, yet often-overlooked premise: as you age, the health advocate you need first and foremost is you. It starts with an honest look in the mirror to identify the barriers keeping you from better health. Then it calls on “the amazing, the brilliant, the esteemed Dr. You” to overcome those barriers. Not overnight, but over time.
 
Learn how to better understand the chronic illnesses that older adults commonly face. Get armed with simple, common sense prevention strategies. Discover how to maximize your partnership with your physicians, hospitals, and the health care system. And finally, Dr. You will learn to weave a safety net of relationships built around home, family, friends, and community to maximize your quality of life.

Everyone should read this!

I am so thankful that my health insurance company encouraged me to read this book. Learning to be proactive in your healthcare as we age, was totally inspiring to me. I am glad I recently joined Weight Watchers and am beginning to love the process of self care!!! Thanks to the author!

This was better than I thought. It was supplied to me by United Health Care so I did not expect much and was pleasantly surprised.
