Healing Outside the System | Printable Ebook [Preorder and Receive Free Gift]

$39.00 CAD

Pre-order now and we will gift you an instant free digital copy of What Do I Do Now? (a value of $19), a guidebook that can help you quick-start your healing journey.

Get the book Alison wished she had when she was looking for answers on how to heal the incurable.

Healing Outside the System is the raw, unfiltered companion to her earlier released guidebook, What Do I Do Now?, but it goes deeper. Much deeper.

It’s the full story of how Alison Ruks defied a life-altering autoimmune disease diagnosis that was predicted to have her in a wheelchair by 2016, uncovered the root causes of her illness, and walked herself back to health when the conventional medical system had nothing left to offer.

More than a memoir, this is a full-spectrum roadmap born from over a decade of personal healing, study, lived experience, and over six figures spent on research, testing, treatments, and therapies.

Inside, readers will find:

  • Alison’s complete healing timeline, what she tried, what worked, and what didn’t

  • The exact lab tests, supplements, detox protocols, and therapies that supported her healing

  • Trauma-informed practices and spiritual tools that created lasting change

  • Controversial and unconventional modalities that made all the difference

  • Curated resources, including books, films, apps, and practitioners she trusts

  • Space for readers to reflect, personalize, and take action


Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, new to your diagnosis, experiencing burnout, or simply waking up to a deeper truth, this book offers grounded guidance, lived insight, and unwavering hope.

Healing Outside the System is an honest, empowering companion for anyone ready to take healing into their own hands.

Pre-order now and we will gift you an instant free digital copy of What Do I Do Now? (a value of $19), a guidebook that can help you quick-start your healing journey. The estimated release date for Healing Outside The System is November 1, 2025.

About The Author, Alison Ruks

Former corporate executive turned wellness advocate and author, Alison Ruks, is the founder of True North Wellness, a space created to support deep healing through intuitive care, grounded tools, and the integration of mind, body, and spirit.

Years after a life-altering "incurable" diagnosis with a predicted future of severe disability by 2016, Alison chose a different path.

Rather than accepting a fear-based prognosis, she followed her intuition, turning away from the conventional system and toward a more soul-led, nature-rooted approach to healing. What followed was a profound personal transformation and a full reclamation of her wellness.

She now combines her background in business and people and culture with over a decade of experience in natural health. Alison is a Chartered Herbalist, Reiki Master, intuitive wellness guide, and certified yoga instructor (studying under Laura Martini of Kelowna, BC). She currently serves as Executive Director of Connect Counselling & Therapy in Kelowna, BC, while providing education and soul-centered offerings through True North Wellness at her home in Lake Country, BC.

Her first book, What Do I Do Now?, is a free resource designed to support those standing at the edge of change. Her upcoming release, Healing Outside the System, shares the full story of how she was failed by the system, and how she reclaimed her wellness through deep listening, spiritual healing, and the integration of energy work, natural medicine, and radical self-trust.

Alison lives in the beautiful Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada, and is the proud mother of her greatest joy, her daughter. Outside of her work, she spends as much time as possible among trees and animals, grounding through nature, yoga, and meditation. Her deepest passion is sharing knowledge, courage, and healing with those who need it most, especially those who’ve been made to feel unheard, unseen, or uncertain on their path.
