For anyone sick and tired of being sick and tired: A leading physician’s practical, proven guide to supporting and improving one of the body’s most vital functions—the lymphatic system—to alleviate and heal chronic pain and immune dysfunction.
STOP CHASING PAIN:
Reset Your Lymphatic System to Clear Inflammation, Break Chronic Pain, and Rebuild Your Health
by Dr. Perry Nickelston
Harper, June 2027
The lymphatic system is one of the body’s most overlooked yet essential systems. If it stopped working, we would be dead within a day and yet few people understand this vital system or how to keep it functioning optimally. Working in conjunction with the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, immune, and nervous systems, our lymphatic system plays a critical role in both physical and mental health. It helps rid the body of a whole host of antigens, many of them harmful: toxins, bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, proteins, cancer cells, and metabolic cellular waste. It also helps reduce swelling and inflammation, which contribute to many chronic diseases, and removes cellular waste resulting from injury. Stress, trauma, poor nutrition, environmental toxins, a sedentary lifestyle, and medications can also impair the lymphatic system. Which is why, when our lymphatic system becomes overwhelmed, overloaded, obstructed, or stagnant, we feel it at every level of our physical and emotional health.
After creating a protocol that helped him recover from a debilitating back injury and survive an autoimmune disease, Perry Nickelston dedicated his life to applying his unique self-care lymphatic approach to help others. In Stop Chasing Pain, he teaches us how to heal ourselves holistically by nurturing our lymphatic system to achieve ideal health and performance.

ONE (IMMUNE) SYSTEM TO RULE THE WORLD introduces readers to the most powerful, hyperintelligent system in your own body: the immune system. Rather than an an academic introduction or an attempt to compress decades of research and millions of peer reviewed articles, this book provides frameworks of thinking about the immune system: how the it functions inside of us and what happens when it goes wrong. In these pages you will find historical missteps, accidental discoveries, and the sheer tour-de-force of scientists, to provide both context and color for how the understanding of this ancient system has developed and where it’s going from here.
From ages 35 to 45—long before menopause, or even perimenopause, and long before “aging” decline is obvious—there is a decisive window when a woman’s muscle, bone, brain, cardiometabolic health, hormones, stress tolerance, fertility, and resilience quietly begin to erode.
More than one in five US adults are living with a mental illness. Since 2010, adults ages eighteen to twenty-five have experienced a 139 percent increase in anxiety. For all of the increasing and well-intended mental health resources at our immediate disposal, we could easily ask where we are going wrong. Yet, Dr. Paul Conti wants to know, “what’s going right?”
Your brain wasn’t built for the world we live in. Poor sleep, excessive screen time, and modern stressors have disrupted brain function, leading to mental fatigue, decreased focus, and emotional imbalance. So how are we going to thrive?
