Making good food and lifestyle choices is the best medicine for curing what ails us. For those suffering from autoimmune or other chronic health problems, The Wellness Project is an invaluable look at how one woman learned to apply best health practices and still enjoy all that makes life sweet.

I couldnt agree more with Phoebe Lapine when she says healthy choices cant happen in a vacuum.
