Review:
I have been taking my time reading and rereading Overcoming Overwhelmed.  As a parent of 4 kids between 12-5 lets just say overwhelmed isn't even close to the word I would use most days.  I jumped at the chance to read this book when it come up on netgalley.
ND Samantha Brody gives readers a step by step guide for readers to find a balance and Sanity to take back control of out lives.  It is to help us find better health and peace of mind in our unbelievable crazy lives.

I love authors who gives readers a down to earth approach that this might not work or it might work.  They don't pretend everyone fits in the same box but she does gives you different approaches to help cope in health ways.
I love that the Author Samantha Brody gives read a way to figure out how to commit and say yes and when to say no in simple easy tools that anyone can follow. I plan on using with book with my children as they become overwhelmed in in school and life choices.

Synopsis:

Do more. Be more. Try harder. It's the battle cry of our culture —and it's making millions of us sick, tired, and frustrated. Why? According to Dr. Samantha Brody, "We simply can’t solve stress and overwhelm by doing more and more of what we’ve been doing."

With Overcoming Overwhelm, this pioneering naturopathic physician offers an alternative. In this step-by-step guide, she helps us restore balance and sanity by showing how we can take back control of every dimension of our lives: our physical health, nutrition, commitments, work and home environments, relationships, and more. With practical guidance and many self-assessment tools, readers embark upon a simple four-step plan tailored to those unique issues—for better health, greater resilience, and peace of mind.

About The Author:

With over 20 years of experience as an integrative physician practicing both Western and complementary medicine, I’m uniquely positioned to design a safe and effective health plan that is tailored to your needs, based on your individual health values. 

Licensed naturopathic physicians are unique in that we draw on the proven medical philosophies of various cultures and integrate these with modern scientific research. We also maintain that an underlying cause exists behind all disease and symptoms. We seek to address this underlying cause and restore the body back to health. In my practice I also have an emphasis on education and empower clients to take back control of their own health.

I received my doctoral degree in Naturopathic medicine in 1996 and a Masters degree in Classical Chinese Medicine in 2000 from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon. I was licensed in 1996 and currently have a full scope of integrative primary care practice. My training included pre-med classes, four years of naturopathic school that includes traditional medical training—basic sciences, anatomy and physiology, pathology, diagnosis, pharmacology and pathology as well as complementary training in nutrition, physical medicine, herbal medicine, counseling, stress management, exercise therapeutics and more. My Chinese medical training includes extensive training in diagnosis, herbal medicine and acupuncture.

My undergraduate degree was started at Union College in Schenectady, NY and finished at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA. I have a liberal arts BA with a concentration on psychology and pre-med.
