Adjusted Reality - by Sherry McAllister (Hardcover)

About the Book

In a world dominated by groupthink echoes of "this is how it's always been done," Adjusted Reality offers a refreshing path to ask "how can we open ourselves up to do better?" through the transformative power of deep reflection and intentional living.

Book Synopsis

This book is unlike anything you've encountered before. It presents an adjusted reality made of engaging elements shaping a unique and immersive adventure, boldly venturing to places where society hesitates. In its pages, you'll reach breathtaking heights that ignite your potential, supercharging your optimal living and longevity.

In an era where health solutions often come in pill bottles and quick fixes, Adjusted Reality presents a revolutionary perspective on personal transformation and whole-being health. Drawing from over twenty-five years of clinical experience, Dr. Sherry McAllister challenges the status quo of fragmented healthcare and inherited thinking patterns with a profound question: "How can we open ourselves up to do better?"

This groundbreaking work transcends traditional self-help approaches by addressing the root forces that shape our lives and health decisions. Dr. McAllister introduces a comprehensive navigational concept that integrates mind, body, and spirit, elevating readers from mere well-being to the term "whole-being"--a supercharged state of authentic health and purposeful living.

Through the metaphor of climbing (and descending) life's mountains and valleys, readers explore the ascent toward personal growth and the equally crucial challenge of maintaining progress beyond the peak. The book provides innovative frameworks for:

• Breaking free from groupthink and conventional healthcare paradigms
• Developing a sustainable approach to quality of life and longevity
• Understanding the interconnectedness of physical health, emotional responses, and life choices
• Building resilient communities through shared moral compasses and collective vitality

Adjusted Reality isn't just about personal transformation--it's about evolving our entire approach to health and healing. Dr. McAllister's vibrant enthusiasm and quarter-century of practical experience illuminate a path from fragmented care to comprehensive vitality, from last hope to first choice.

Perfect for readers seeking authentic change in their health journey and those ready to embrace a more comprehensive approach to personal transformation, this book offers more than solutions--it provides a new lens through which to view your entire relationship with health and whole-being.

President/Medical Director, Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation

"There is a growing realization in America that true healing is based on a deep understanding not of organ function alone, but of self, whole-being healing, replenishment, nourishment, education, and most of all prevention. It is a refreshing and riveting experience to hear of this reality from Dr. Sherry McAllister, president of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress. Adjusted Reality views the brain as a junction box from which flows the cohesive, rather than the fragmented, self. Dr. McAllister convincingly animates the world of chiropractic to the point where the reader learns how much beyond adjusting she can go, on to healing and restoring proper function. The book points out that making us all healthy again involves as much diet and restorative movement as it does renewal and a true sense of self and purpose. This new book is an important part of the path forward."
-- Marc Siegel, MD
