Based on years of expert patient care, Dr. Gary Epler shares a powerful lesson in You’re the Boss: Manage Your Disease. This powerful lesson is deceptively simple: you are the best and most important manager of your health. That’s right, you should be the one in charge. What’s more, that’s not difficult to do, because Dr. Epler sets out five easy steps that will lead you to the awareness and confidence necessary to put you in the boss’s chair. These fundamental steps work, no matter what health challenge you may have. Through engaging, entertaining stories, you will meet real people with real health challenges and discover: 1. How to learn about your disease, 2. How to understand the diagnostic process, 3. How to know your treatment options, 4. How to monitor your progress, and 5. How to create a healing environment. But putting Dr. Eplers five steps into practice sketches out only one side of health and disease. Practical and effective tips also guide you to ways to preserve good health, and retain, not surrender, control of your health, no matter what age you are, no matter what condition you may have. Implementing these five simple steps and being the boss of your health will not only enable you to get well, but stay well for life.
