In this 2nd edition of WHY ARE YOU SICK, FAT, and Tired? Dr. Patricia Boulogne (commonly known as Dr. Pat) updated this book with some valuable additions.

So, WHY are you... Sick, Fat, and/or Tired? The question remains: How has your health been over the past 2 years? Same? Better? Worse? No matter what your answer is, take the time here and do yourself a favor and get your Health Reality Check.

"The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease." Thomas A. Edison

Many people are confused about their health; and do not know where to look for answers, nor who to ask or the right questions to ask. Wrong questions give rise to wrong answers, and waste your precious time and money! Not paying attention to even minor symptoms could lead to more serious illness and/or early death.

For example, look at heart attacks. Many of the initial signs and symptoms are mistaken for other conditions like nausea, flu, heartburn, and fatigue. The idea is to catch any problem when it is in a "low priority category" to know if you may be showing signs of a genetic predisposition. These Chapters and their questions will help you identify your risk factors.

The Chapters in this book will help you streamline your focus and pinpoint where a potential problem exists, where there are glitches in your make-up, and/or what may be lurking below the surface.

Answering the questions will give an overall snapshot of your health today. Your scores will either be below, moderate, or high priority and will illustrate where your health is blocked and the degree of urgency. This information will lead you to discover the next best step(s) and will help you address what's really going.

Knowledge is power. You cannot change your genetics, but you can control your lifestyle, which directly influences how your genes express themselves. Making simple improvements in your lifestyle: the food you eat, the air you breathe, the water you drink, and the cleaning products you choose, make a difference in healthier outcomes. These are simple, yet powerful changes.
