When you face a life-changing diagnosis, it’s easy to become discouraged and overwhelmed. The path to normalcy is often unclear, leaving you to spiral in confusion. Grappling with a new reality can make you feel distanced from even your closest friends and family.

Like millions of others around the world, Author Elisabeth Yaotani was confronted with the reality that she had Interstitial Cystitis (IC). After years of painful treatments and empty suggestions, Yaotani finally found solutions that WORKED and even reversed her worst IC symptoms. Since then, Yaotani has used her time and knowledge to help others overcome the challenges of IC.

In How I Got My Life Back Yaotani collaborated with integrative doctor Patricia Deckert, D.O, naturopathic doctor Cassie Jones, N.M.D, and integrative and functional nutritionist Brianne Gohlke, MS, RD to provide a comprehensive guide that will not only give you the information and insight, but a blueprint so that you can begin working toward addressing IC and autoimmunity head-on.

The goal is to bring about real and lasting change in your own life. This book provides tried-and-tested strategies to help anyone who is trying to win their own battle with chronic illness along with the hope of a better tomorrow. If you have been diagnosed with IC and are ready to take control of your health and reclaim your life, this step-by-step guide will be the best proactive choice that you can make.

This book is incredible. Elisabeth is very open about her battle with IC and how she pressed on through painful treatments & debilitating bladder pain that left her struggling to care for her family. From doctor to doctor, she did not give up for her search to find healing. Her story is such a testimony to her faith and her determination. Thankfully she discovered healing through the care of an Integrative Medicine Dr. and after addressing genetic factors, diet & supplements, etc. she was able to finally get her IC into remission. The protocol is not just for IC sufferers, but for anyone battling autoimmune disease. I have battled IBS and leaky gut for years now and have found so much help here-from recommended supplements to diet changes, I am on the road to healing myself. I highly recommend reading this informative & comprehensive "manual" for regaining your health naturally.

I have had IC for about three years now. It has been such a trying time for me and my family. Elisabeth's book gives me so much hope and makes me strive to do better in regards to my eating and exercise habits. In this book, she tells her own personal story of IC and what got her into remission. She is raw and real and so encouraging. Often times it is easy to become depressed and feel like IC is going to be a life long condition filled with hopelessness and despair, but this book has honestly stirred up so much new hope for me! She gives tons of great suggestions and even brand names of supplements so you can research them yourself. I KNOW that my IC can go into remission and to read another story about someone else who did it makes me want to strive for that goal, even more!

A smart, effective, realistic approach to managing Autoimmune disorders and diseases. Appreciate that the writer maintains that Autoimmune is individually unique and can be difficult to manage without knowledge and resources. This book wonderfully weaves together the physical, mental and spiritual facets of autoimmune disease. Additionally offering reliable resources needed to achieve the full functioning quality of life while managing autoimmune symptoms.

This book is very informative, inspirational, as well as educational. There is so much information on many health issues. It is written in terms that anyone can understand. You will not be overwhelmed with medical terms that leave you feeling confused. This book is not just for people who suffer from IC. It is a great resource to turn to for anyone who wants to learn how and where to start eating clean and making healthier food choices, leading to a healthier life.

If you are looking for a source to finally help relieve some of the sufferings of Interstitial cystitis, this is the one that you should read. In addition to IC, I found it incredibly helpful in addressing and working through other digestive problems such as leaky gut and IBS. I recommend this book as a "must read".

I found this book at one of the most desperate times in my life. I had been in a flare for two months (my longest to date) as well as my first UTI ever. If you are suffering from IC, I HIGHLY recommend this book; I can't say enough about it! It has completely changed my life. I have followed her instructions, and my flare has ended! My inflammation has led to 28 pounds of weight loss without a second of exercise although I am hoping to start soon! Do yourself a favor, don't spend another minute in pain or suffering and purchase this book. The cost of the book is pennies compared to the investment you are making in yourself.

As a current IC patient, this book is a must read! Besides all the informative information and considerations, it’s heartfelt, genuine & true. Elisabeth made a breakthrough In solving the IC puzzle. I too am following her protocols ... and slowly but surely I am feeling my symptoms subside. Yes, I still may have frequent urination still, but the burning & pressure is fading!!! “FYI” get tested for Cándida I too had an overgrowth of Cándida with my IC. Diet & high-quality supplements are everything! Thank you, Elisabeth, for sharing your story & giving IC warriors hope!!

If you are tired of suffering in pain, this book will give you hope that this does not have to be your reality any longer.

I first met Elisabeth at my practice, New Beginnings Health Care in San Diego, California. She was interested in an integrative approach to dealing with interstitial cystitis, and when I read her story, I was impressed with her journey. She asked that I be involved with the book she was writing and help with explaining some of the more technical aspects. I was excited about the opportunity and felt that what she was writing and what I could contribute could apply to almost any chronic illness. It is my hope and hers that this book helps others get their health back.
