PAVING the Path to Wellness Workbook gives you concrete tools you can use today—like the PAVING Questionnaire that allows you to assess where you are right now in your healthy lifestyle journey. Then, each chapter shares research, as well as live-and-learn stories that help to bring the material to life. Real patients share their trials and tribulations, as well as their strategies for success. The authors—all physicians—share several of their own stories too. The book is relatable on all levels for healthcare providers and patients alike. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to start or to continue on their wellness journey. It’s actually fun!

PAVING the Path to Wellness has been an incredible tool for me personally and professionally. Being in corporate wellness for 25-plus years, I have utilized many tools to bring lifestyle medicine into workplaces but nothing compares to the benefits of this program in targeting the root causes of employees’ mental and physical illnesses. Beth, Michelle, and Amy are powerhouses in this topic, as well as in the field of lifestyle medicine. They are transforming healthcare and corporate wellness with this tool. Improving health outcomes requires that people become aware of their present state in many important areas, such as social connection, purpose, sleep, stress resilience, and more. This is the first step in order for employees and patients to make sustainable and long-term lifestyle changes that can positively impact their health and well-being, and consequently contribute to a decrease in healthcare cost and an increase in employee engagement. Chronic diseases are the leading causes of death, disability, and healthcare costs in the U.S. The status quo is no longer acceptable or sustainable. Companies must start doing what truly works, and PAVING the Path to Wellness is it!

Whether you are trying to manage your chronic health condition or you are just trying to improve your physical, mental, and emotional wellness but feel overwhelmed with the quantity of information and different, sometimes contradicting advice from diverse sources, this book is for you. Addressing the six pillars of body, mind, and soul well-being, this workbook offers sound, scientifically tested information and interventions that work together to address all aspects of human health and wellness. Use this workbook as a guide to designing your own wellness experiments and crafting your individualized path to health and flourishing. Having used principles of PAVING Steps program in a stroke survivor wellness program, I can attest to the value and satisfaction that both patients and their caregivers derived from this program and improvements many of them made in their overall health and quality of life.

I was introduced to the amazing Dr. Frates and the PAVING course thanks to the charity SameYou, as part of my rehabilitation from a brain injury. The PAVING blend of science, psychology, culture, and ancient wisdom, and not to mention Beth’s own family story, means there is something to inspire everyone to start on their own journey to wellness. The practical steps of the PAVING course went from being a tool for rehabilitation to an everyday guide to help me to be the best me. This practical and inspiring approach to well-being is a gift that can benefit everyone at whatever stage they are in their journey in life.
