Kristi Hellenbrand, DC

In less than sixty days, published author and family chiropractor Kristi Hellenbrand would suddenly lose the ability to walk. The brightest doctors would not be able to figure out why.

Part memoir, part research thesis, the author reveals with raw honesty her journey through Lyme Disease and the seemingly impossible passage to rediscovering wellness. In 2020, a sudden and mysterious illness - said to not exist in Georgia - took everything from her. This is the story of the deep, dark place where only grief takes you, but also the story of how she saves her own life.

A cross between Cheryl Strayed's physical and emotional journey in Wild, Dr. Samuel Harrington's informative and inspiring experience of chronic illness and death in At Peace, and Barbara Kingsolver's journalistic investigation in Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, author Kristi Hellenbrand hopes to bring social awareness to people living with chronic Lyme Disease and inspire education and research into what some call the next epidemic.
