When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress

By Gabor Maté, MD

Our latest featured book by renowned expert Dr. Gabor Maté explains the link  between physical illness and mental health, and the critical role that stress plays in an  array of common diseases. 

In this groundbreaking international bestseller, medical doctor and bestselling author Dr.  Gabor Maté explains how emotion and psychological stress play a powerful role in the onset  of breast cancer, prostate cancer, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and many other chronic illnesses.  

When the Body Says No promotes healing through education – providing transformative  insights into how illness can be the body’s way of saying no to what the mind cannot or will  not acknowledge. With great compassion and in lay terms, Dr. Maté demystifies medical  science and empowers us all to be our own health advocates. 

To continue exploring the connection between physical and emotional health, we invite you  to read our May blog, Is Stress Making Me Sick? where we further discuss the impact of  chronic stress on the body and mind.
