Dear Friends,

As 2025 closes, I reflect on:

-facing imposter syndrome and insecurity with my own disease but still agreeing to share my side with my doctor in a new book

-6 months of silence of 2025

-6 months of coming public with my disease.  

-losing 3+ close friends after sharing my truth

-being the most heartbroken with more grief living my 61st year than I've ever been in my previous 60 years

-making new boundaries for myself, regardless of others' impressions.  

🎢

Can anyone ELSE relate to a rollercoaster 2025?

🎢

To celebrate all this up-and-down graphic like my heartbeat's ECG, I'm offering you this one-time two week offer to share the gift of health on a larger scale for the holidays.  You give me less than $15USD and get THREE Ebooks and Audiobooks to choose to WHOM you want to share our wellness and health tips to make healthy giving EASY for 2025. 

Why this deal?  Last week, my co-author Dr. S.U. and I had an event in Bangkok, Thailand, (photo, above) as we gave a good donation to the Red Cross Thailand.  He explained that because he sits on the boards of two Bangkok hospitals (Chulalongkorn and Bumrungrad), work dynamics in Thailand require ethical doctors not to promote products, even if they are the authors.   Disappointed,  I learned that I'm just not that good at trying to promote a book written by two but promoted by one.  So hence this last 2025 effort to spread our very healthy, cutting-edge message.

❇️
The GOOD news is that we visited the Red Cross (above, in photos), got press, and, as we sat for the first time together and signed books simultaneously, I got a renewed excitement I never had previously when I launched the book alone during this past summer, hence my inspirational  offer to you today.

This Offer Is:

Buy ONE $14.99 bundle of an Ebook and Audiobook

Get THREE in total,

You tell me your recipients' emails and I'll handle the rest!

Important: 1. You click and pay at the above link.  2. I then email asking  you  to provide me TWO names and TWO emails of the recipients for both the ebook and audiobook downloads I'll arrange to come from you as holiday gifts: 

lawrence@findlawrence.com

 (if you want to be proactive)

As Dr. S. U. has donated his proceeds so far to the Red Cross, I'm donating mine to the Sisters of Saint Joseph on the east cost of the USA (where retired nuns go to live their final years, including some sisters who are still alive who taught me back in the last century). Yes, some of my teachers who had to put up with me are still alive and write to me regularly.

Why this book for your loved ones at the holidays?  You don't need to have kidney disease or battle kidney stones to want to give the gift of health & wellness, including an overall knowledge of the following topics.  I'm more than sure you have at least two people in your life who would greatly profit from both research and practical ideas for: 

• lowering blood pressure with and without meds (isn't this all of us?)
• reducing sodium both when eating home and out
• managing stress with real-world tactics
• understanding realistic protein needs even for those with healthy kidneys
• managing hydration for active ageres
• which over-the-counter supplements provide the MOST stress with MOST side-effects for ALL people, even healthy ones, including types of Vitamin C.
• supporting friends & loved ones through kidney health
• cutting through all the noise about alcohol, and why wine over beer and spirits may be healthier
• enjoying low-protein yet high-energy meal plan tips that’s actually safe and medical based

Before closing, I want to give a special shout-out to Yury Rockit for his unwavering support during this year, including this.  Being able to look at my Human Design and Gene Keys chart periodically this year and help me refocus and find some semblance of meaning on the very.  black.  gray.  days, I don't take his astrology wisdom for granted.  Unlike my incredibly supportive medical team, he helps me find the psychological and emotional focus I seem to be needing more and more.  Sometimes my labs are good, and sometimes not so much, but he always helps me find the peace in whatever my results (so far, at least).  If you've never had him read your chart - or check in with him for an updated explanation - yury@yuryrockit.com will probably honor a special price for a call if you mention I sent you (but, no, he has no idea I'm setting him up for this LOL).  

🎄🌴🎄

Most importantly, I want to wish each of you the best of this season and year-change.  I also want to thank you for your support during this very challenging year.  I thank those of you who allowed me silence in the first six months of 2025.  Second, I thank those of you who gave support to me breaking my silence on my disease with my book, even if you didn't buy a book at all. 😮  While it may well be we not communicate the rest of this year, know I'm grateful for your behind-the scenes checking in with Yury, Irene, and Jonathan, and sending supportive comments.  For anyone wondering where I do share my compelling thoughts these days, my first choice is Instagram and Facebook stories.

Merry Fitness and Happy HoliGays,

(Still) Completely Heartbroken,

Lawrence

Let's just say that, with me in Bangkok last week, a sort of #AFCPopUp 2025 by-invitation only happened.  You'll have to stay tuned on the socials for more on that!  How incredibly joyous it was to reunite with this team, a year later from the last closing ceremony of AFC at BITEC.

Peace, In!
