You Can Be Well

by Stephanie A. Maj, DC

At first glance, this new book by Stephanie A. Maj, DC, who practices in Chicago, covers familiar ground, noting that four of the five critical steps to wellness are nutrition, stress management, exercise, and removing toxicity. Even she admits that there are a million books talking about these factors. “What makes this volume different,” she notes, “is that it spotlights the one critical step omitted by most other books: removing nerve interference.”

Aimed at the general public, the book’s focus on chiropractic as a way to eliminate nerve interference makes it suitable as a patient education tool as well. The overall message is that “Interference in the nervous system causes interference with the body’s ability to heal itself (immune system) and function properly,” and that “you cannot have wellness without chiropractic.”

Initial reviews of the book have been positive, with endorsements from several chiropractic leaders including Janice Hughes, DC, founder of 2inspire, who said of the book: “Follow the path and steps that Dr. Maj creates for you in this book and unleash your full potential.” Dennis Perman, DC, co-founder of The Masters Circle, added his praise, calling Maj a “gifted healer, a superb communicator, and a significant contributor to the wellness landscape.”

Maj is a graduate of National College, served as a member of the World Chiropractic Alliance Council on Women’s Health, the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, the International Chiropractors Association, and the National Wellness Foundation.

With a nod to the famed Beatles song, a company called “Totally Booked” has come up with a way for all doctors of chiropractic to be published authors, even if they have neither the time nor skills to write a book by themselves.  Within weeks, they can take advantage of the prestige and credibility that comes with having their name on the cover of a “real” book.

Founded and run by chiropractors Robert Hanopole and Gary Trupo, the company allows DCs to compile and customize a book carrying their own name as author and featuring their photo, office information, and relevant details on the book’s front and back covers.

Books can range from general health care information to specific topics such as laser therapy, subluxation correction, back pain, sports rehabilitation, etc. Doctors select seven chapters from a list of nearly 30 different chapter titles, which are customized to fit the doctor’s practice style and philosophy. The book also includes a personalized front and back cover – chosen from a selection of colors and templates – with the client’s picture, title, subtitles, wording, office address, office phone number and website address. Additionally, each book can include a personal dedication page and patient testimonials.

Books can be printed and shipped within 60 days and each Totally Booked client is guaranteed exclusivity in a five zip code area.

“The Expert Author System is one of the most powerful, ethical, and effective chiropractic new patient attraction systems available today,” stated Dr. Hanopole. “You will receive abundant amounts of quality new patients as a byproduct of a much larger vision and purpose…Teaching the masses about the true essence and power of chiropractic! We want you to share in our passion to teach the world that when it comes to health care, there truly is a better way.”

Hanopole is offering Chiropractic Books Etc readers a special bonus of 25 additional free books if they use the promo code “CBE11” when ordering. For more information, visit totallybookedpractice.com.
