August 2021 – the art of being healthy

Said about the book by Petra Janková, a member of the Red Button network.

Why is the number of people with chronic illnesses constantly increasing? And why can modern medicine not handle these diseases? How can we listen to the signals of our body and connect with our true essence? One of the most respected figures in functional medicine, Jan Vojáček, will show you how to awaken your body's self-healing ability and find lost harmony. The art of being healthy can be mastered by anyone – discover how!

We live today in a certain paradox: thanks to significant technological progress, emergency medicine has reached a high level, so we have almost stopped dying from acute conditions. However, we pay a high price for this very effective treatment of acute conditions in the form of very inefficient management of chronic conditions.

If the current healthcare system approaches chronic issues by suppressing symptoms with medication and people fully trust this solution, the noose tightens and the quality of inner life experience declines in the long term. Today’s life is full of anxiety, physical or mental pain, addictions, dependency, and a feeling of living without vitality and energy, essentially on the brink of exhaustion or burnout. But the art of being healthy does not lie outside us; it lies within us. Being healthy in the 21st century means becoming aware of important aspects of our lives. These relate to various areas of our lifestyle, psyche, and the environment we live in that influences and shapes us. This book is not a universal guide; its author, MUDr. Jan Vojáček, aims to outline principles he considers important for healing and preventing lifestyle diseases. It is not meant to replace medical care but to complement it.
