Publisher's Summary

A fitness celebrity shares her story of overcoming autoimmune disease—and helps you chart your own path to wellness in body, mind, and soul.

Being diagnosed with a chronic illness can be stressful, confusing, and scary—especially when the path to healing seems to be nowhere in sight. Valentina Gaylord knows this firsthand because she has lived it. She survived a terrifying series of health challenges that started when she was stricken with Bell’s Palsy and launched on a years-long journey to recover her health—which, after exhausting every avenue that conventional medicine could offer, she finally did by turning within.

In WELL BEING, Gaylord dissects the course of her own decline from exuberant wife, mother, and fitness entrepreneur to pain-riddled, exhausted, and desperate victim of disease. She details the dedicated and educated response she brought to her debilitating illnesses as she battled to restore her health. And as she tells her story, she invites you to chart your own path of healing in body, mind, and soul.

Drawing on her personal experience and intensive research as well as her work with clients in the boutique fitness studios she founded and owned for over ten years, Gaylord shares exercises and techniques that put mindset, emotional wellness, and spiritual awareness at the forefront of health. In each chapter, she offers thoughtful questions and carefully crafted journal prompts to help you:

  • Pay attention to your body and listen to its messages for you
  • Unravel the mysteries of your own health challenges
  • Start to write your own healing story
  • Find your way to true well being—not just renewed vitality, but a new sense of fulfillment and purpose that will transform your life

“Untangling the impacts of autoimmune disease was just the beginning for me,” Gaylord writes. “It demanded an evolution of my mind, heart, soul, and body. My reawakening took over a decade. Yours will not.”

Critic Reviews

“These days it’s becoming rarer to come across a soul whose intentions for healing and life betterment are directed to others instead of solely directed to themselves. Not only is Valentina’s focus on others and their healing, but she also possesses a special level of compassion that she directs into everything she does in her life’s work.”—Anthony William, Medical Medium, #1 New York Times best-selling author

“The mere absence of disease is not health. True health occurs when we see improvement in every domain of our well-being. Honest and engaging, Valentina Gaylord’s book explores how to approach creating true health.”—Shawn Achor, New York Times best-selling author of Big Potential and The Happiness Advantage

“In Well Being, Valentina shares her transformational experience to validate and illuminate the process of healing. In the midst of my own journey to health, her book offered reassurance of being on the right path. Thank you, Valentina, for the terrific insights and vulnerable sharing of your journey. You have given this Olympian inspiration to push ahead to meet my health and wellness goals!”—Greg Louganis, world-renowned diver, four-time Olympian, and winner of four gold medals and one silver medal
