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 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 a 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.
