Dear WellNow Community,
The wait is finally over! After months of anticipation, and over a decade of research, I’m thrilled to announce that my book "WellNow: Reclaim Your Life from Ulcerative Colitis" is officially live on Amazon! 🎉
Many of you have been following my journey and heard me talk about this book in our last newsletter, and I want to thank you for your encouragement and support along the way. This isn’t just any book—it’s the guide I wish I’d had when I was first diagnosed with UC, and I’m beyond excited to share it with you.
What You’ll Find Inside:
A Holistic Approach: Learn how to manage UC and other gut health concerns by addressing the root causes, not just the symptoms.
Practical Tips: Discover actionable advice on diet, lifestyle changes, and alternative therapies.
Personal Insights: Benefit from my firsthand experience and expertise.
A Quirky, Engaging Style: Enjoy a book that I've been told is as fun to read as it is informative.
This book is more than just a collection of facts; it’s a conversation—a way for us to connect, share, and grow together in our health journeys. I’ve poured everything I’ve learned into these pages, and I truly hope it brings you the clarity, comfort, and guidance you need.
What Others Are Saying:
⭐ “Full of information. I kept finding myself saying, 'just one more chapter' so many times, that I ended up finishing it in one day.”— Kristen Killinger, UC warrior
⭐ “Well now, this was a revelation. A candid, raw, and almost intimate insight into her struggle with UC, Jacki delivers real tangible help in a genuinely caring way. Her story comes from the heart and hits you straight in the gut. It's never felt so good to have your wind knocked out! If you need a simple to follow and easy to digest answer to Ulcerative Colitis, start here.”— Fareez Joulay
⭐ “Hey Jacki, I have had a look through your book and it's remarkable how so much of the content aligns with me - not just the educational side but your philosophies and approach too (bio-individuality, no one diet fits all, getting in tune with what works for your unique body, allowing treats or healthy treat substitutes etc). It's amazing lol. I like your writing style and you're very knowledgeable. You've done a fantastic job! You should be so proud! Your book will be such a blessing for UC'ers! It's the kind of info that people like us have painstakingly researched over time and wish we had in the beginning. My doctor only handed me a book called 'Ulcerative Colitis for Dummies' and said that's all I would ever need to read. So well done!”— Rebecca, Administrator of a UC Support Group
These reviews are just a glimpse of the impact this book is having, and I can’t wait for you to experience it yourself.
A Personal Lesson: Prioritising What Matters
Getting this book over the finish line has been an incredible journey, but it meant making some tough decisions. I’ve been a little quieter on social media, I got my July newsletter out a bit late, and I skipped a blog post this week. But I want to share something important: prioritising my health and well-being, even when deadlines loom, is what allowed me to bring this book to life.
I’ve kept up with my daily walks, regular gym sessions, and healthy eating. I had to compromise in some areas to maintain balance, but I’m here, healthy and excited to share this accomplishment with you. Let this be a gentle reminder that prioritising your health isn’t just okay—it’s essential.
Ready to Dive In?
The book is now available on Amazon, and I’m excited for you to dive in. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, have been living with UC for years, or simply want to better understand your gut, this book is for you. The hardcopy and paperback copies should be available online in a few days for USA and UK buyers. For my South African followers, I am working hard to find a local solution - but I hope the kindle version will serve you well in the meantime. I can’t wait to hear what you think!
Thank You for Your Support!
Your encouragement has been a huge part of this journey, and I’m beyond grateful to have you as part of the WellNow community. Thank you for being part of this amazing journey.
Wishing you health, happiness, and peace as you continue your wellness journey.
With gratitude,
Jacki McEwen-Powell
