“For over many decades, Patricia Muehsam MD, an experienced healthcare provider, has inhabited the spheres of both allopathic and alternative medicine, as a practitioner, educator, and research scientist, and also as a patient. As an educator, she has introduced medical students, physicians, and the general public to the fields of complimentary and integrative medicine, through her courses, lectures, and writings. As a patient, she has experienced health challenges firsthand.

Beyond Medicine reflects Dr. Muehsam’s years of explorations into the science and art of healing; she gathers all that she has learned — informed by research and personal stories — into a book that not only educates but inspires.

Beyond Medicine is encyclopedic in its coverage of current thought and available evidence, complete with a supplemental appendix of resources for the reader to explore on their own. But in addition to informing, she also presents practical exercises that illustrate the concepts she presents, empowering the reader to understand and experience their own personal power to facilitate healing, health and well-being.

Dr. Muehsam’s approach is nonjudgmental and affirming and she explains that it matters less which approach for healing we choose than it does how we approach that choice, reminding us that our commitment to our own well-being is not only helpful but an absolutely necessary part of the healing formula. In this extensive exposé, Dr. Trish—as her patients refer to her—maintains there is not one way to Absolute Health but many, and that the power doesn’t lie within the method itself but within us.”

“It was a great read and I learned so much! I love that it is experiential; truly a guidebook and such a smart way to assemble a wide breadth of knowledge. It will be one I go back to repeatedly as a resource.”
