One in six American adults take psychiatric medication and yet, doctors are
only allotted twenty-minute appointments that are spaced out by months at a
time. This book starts at minute twenty-one and is filled with everything
you wish your doctor had time to explain about mental health. Nearly sixty
million American adults struggle with mental illness but half are not
receiving any treatment and only a quarter of them have access to
psychotherapy. With demand for treatment far outpacing supply, our current
mental health crisis requires a new approach that goes beyond the
limitations of the health care system.

Dr. Julia Krankl, a Harvard and UCLA-trained psychiatrist, trauma
resilience specialist and physician educator details her mental wellness
menu-fifteen practical ways to improve mental health that don’t involve
taking a pill or doing formal therapy. Readers of The 21st Minute will be
empowered to become the hero of their mental wellness journey using tools
that work. The 21st Minute bridges the gap between what doctors hurriedly
explain in twenty minutes and what we all need to thrive. For physicians and
therapists who practice holistic mental health care, The 21st Minute stands
as an evidence-based resource of alternatives and adjuncts to medication
management and psychotherapy.

The 21st Minute offers an accessible and transformative roadmap to optimal
mental wellness using modern medicine, evolutionary psychology and diverse
cultural perspectives. If you are ready for a new approach to achieve your
mental health goals on your terms-this is it.

A Dr. Mallory Hayes Medical Thriller

 

Thriller, Medical Thriller

Date Published: January 2023

In the wake of a natural disaster, a new pandemic is unleashed…

 

Dr. Mallory Hayes, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
medical investigator, is a committed physician and researcher quietly
battling height and air-flight anxiety. When a tsunami devastates the
coast of Southern California, the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) establishes a camp to house the tens of thousands of people
displaced by the disaster, and the Army is brought in to provide medical
services.

Mallory is dispatched to the camp by the CDC to prevent the potential
spread of disease from contaminated water. What she discovers is far worse
than anything she could have imagined—an accelerated HIV-like virus,
and a common, everyday microbe, are proving to be extremely deadly.

 

Particles in the Air is a shockingly realistic tale only an immunologist
could write—a tense, high-concept thriller meant to appeal to fans
of A.G Riddle, Michael Crichton, Terry Hayes, Richard Preston, and
others.

hope for harmony cover

Purchase: Amazon

Two worlds collide when free-spirited, wild-hearted, eternally single, Hope Clayton meets conservative and prudish single father of three, T.J. Wagner. After one surreal night, they are brought face to face again when Hope’s work as a business consultant brings her temporarily to Orlando from San Diego while his children are gone for the month. What is supposed to be a one-month agreement of mutual companionship evolves into a deep connection. Hope, who hides a dark secret behind her decision to live a life without children, will have to decide between Freedom and Love.


What do you do when the person you are crazy about carries a deal-breaker you can’t negotiate? That is the question T.J. Wagner will have to answer when he falls for business consultant Hope Clayton. If the fact that she lives 2500 miles away was not deal-breaker enough, she has been clear that she wants nothing to do with children in her life…and he has three of them. For T.J, life has always been about self-sacrifice and the answer is obvious. But will she give up that easily? Will he be able to fight the true longings of his heart for much longer?

This is a story about people from different worlds finding common ground. A story about looking outside check lists and what to do when you find the person who makes it worthwhile to reexamine the so-called deal breakers.
