Songbirds Keep Singing: A Memoir of Healing from Autoimmune Brain Inflammation

By Lisa Lauter

In 2017, forty-five-year-old Lisa Lauter experienced mysterious neurological symptoms. For months, she didn't feel like herself and doctors had no answers. A mother of three preteen boys, Lisa had many reasons to explain away her odd symptoms. In her situation, what parent wouldn't be tired, forgetful, and sleep-deprived? But that didn't explain the weakness in her left side, the tingling feeling, and numbness. It didn't explain why, on a relaxing summer day, Lisa had her first tonic-clonic seizure.
Songbirds Keep Singing: A Memoir of Healing from Autoimmune Brain Inflammation blends personal accounts, research, and the author's public health background as she searches for answers following her first seizure. Using her experience as both a survivor and nurse, Lisa explores the value of applying holistic concepts such as mindset, nutrition, exercise, gut health, hormones, and the environment alongside conventional medicine treatments to recover from a rare autoimmune disease. This book is a valuable resource for anyone navigating a complicated diagnosis who is curious about taking a multi-targeted approach to healing autoimmune inflammation comprehensively.
Empowering and informative, Songbirds Keep Singing is a must read for people with brain injuries and autoimmune diseases, caregivers and health care professionals. It offers a roadmap to robust health for anyone seeking to balance their immune system and improve brain health.
