We all hope for life long health and longevity, yet most of us will experience a life-threatening, quality-of-life-threatening, life-changing or chronic health concern
(or care for someone who does).

The challenges we face in the diagnosis process and the choices we must make related to treatment can feel daunting, particularly if our symptoms don’t match up with standardized treatment protocols, or we are told that there are very limited or even no treatment options available. Seeking other options or opinions can be overwhelming, from not knowing where to start or experiencing information overload, to receiving conflicting opinions that are difficult to understand, much less choose between.

The REViVE Hope for Health Personal Guidebook offers new new tools and resources, including the REViVE Medicine Spectrum and a series of practical templates, to help you be response-able for your health care by:

• Paying attention to your own experiences, both physically and mentally, and sharing all of this information, as well as your primary concerns and priorities, with your healthcare providers. 

• Asking questions to understand, clearly, the process and consequences of the treatments being recommended to you and the choices (and trade-offs) you are making, rather than being fully dependent on others to choose for you.

• Exploring and learning about the spectrum of complementary medicine approaches, and confidently choosing for yourself those that best support your own personal health goals and values.

There is no "magic pill" for health and well-being. This state-of-being has many facets, and there is no one right way — there are as many ways as there are individuals.

The REViVE Hope for Health Guidebook was written to help you find YOUR way to to expand your health care options to get better and live well. .
