This is an updated edition. Updated 2022.

So, why are you… Sick, Fat, and/or Tired? The question remains: How has your health been over the past 2 years? Same? Better? Worse? No matter what your answer is, take the time here and do yourself a favor and get your Health Reality Check.

"The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease." Thomas A. Edison

Many people are confused about their health; and do not know where to look for answers, nor who to ask or the right questions to ask. Wrong questions give rise to wrong answers, and waste your precious time and money! Not paying attention to even minor symptoms could lead to more serious illness and/or early death.

For example, look at heart attacks. Many of the initial signs and symptoms are mistaken for other conditions like nausea, flu, heartburn, and fatigue. The idea is to catch any problem when it is in a "low priority category" to know if you may be showing signs of a genetic predisposition. These Chapters and their questions will help you identify your risk factors.

The Chapters in this book will help you streamline your focus and pinpoint where a potential problem exists, where there are glitches in your make up, and/or what may be lurking below the surface.

Answering the questions will give an overall snapshot of your health today. Your scores will either below, moderate or high priority and will illustrate where your health is blocked and the degree of urgency. This information will lead you to discover the next best step(s) and will help you address what's really going.

Knowledge is power. You cannot change your genetics, but you can control your lifestyle, which directly influences how your genes express themselves. Making simple improvements in your lifestyle: the food you eat, the air you breathe, the water you drink, and the cleaning products you choose, make a difference in healthier outcomes. These are simple, yet powerful changes.

Review

Dr. Pat Boulogne's book "Why Are You Sick, Fat, and Tired" is, as far as I know, the first book of its kind. She has taken the observations, the questions, and the conclusions of many of the great pioneers in deductive medicine (why do you have what you have), and put these observations into a well-organized guidebook of questions by categories and by organ systems.
- Dr. Tom O'Bryan, DC, CCN, DACBN CA, USA

"The word diet comes from the Greek word diaita, which means 'way of living.' Unlike the plethora of typical diet books on the market, Dr. Pat focuses on the bigger picture; the body's interconnecting systems. This allows you to discover the root cause and finally shed those stubborn pounds, stop the yawning and become a healthier and better you. If you're sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, this is the book you've been waiting for!"
-Dr. David Friedman, Syndicated TV, and Radio Show Host, International award-winning, #1 bestselling author of Food Sanity.

Dr. Boulogne's new book, "Why Are You Sick, Fat, Tired?" is a concise, straight- forward book on quickly identifying your problem areas that need attention. Void the fluff found in other similar books, Dr. Boulogne has put together a special document that will empower the patient to interactively work in helping themselves get well. I congratulate Dr. Boulogne for creating this wonderful piece of work that will help many finally get the answers to their health issues.
- Dr. Ronald Grisanti, Founder of FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE UNIVERSITY South Carolina, US

"Lifestyle Medicine" is literally changing the way to practice Medicine. We doctors, need competent patients to work together for a common purpose, their health, and our health. Dr. Patricia Boulogne has written a must-read primer for all those who consider themselves responsible for their own health...Read this book - and learn from one of the best."
- Luigi J. Maselli, MD, MPH, MSc President of Italian Lifestyle Medicine Association Italy



Dr. Patricia Boulogne has developed an effective way to really get a sound view of a snapshot of your current health, in her book: "Why Are You... Sick, Tired, Fat?" It's an excellent tool for anyone who is truly interested in taking back control of their health and life.
- Dr. Nelson Bulmash DC, CTN, CCN, DACBN, DCBCN Radio Host: Health Matters with Dr. Nelson Bulmash Georgia, US

Itook the liberty of completing each section to see where I am personally, related to my overall health. I found this very easy to use and helped me pinpoint those areas I need to personally address. I hope you find this an easy way to take a look at your overall health, then take advantage of the offer for a complimentary consultation with Dr. Boulogne.
- Dr. Thomas E. Hyde, DC, DACBSP®, FRCCSS (Hon)®, ICCSP® North Carolina, USA

Great job setting a clear concise path for people to evaluate their health! Your book is a valuable contribution to anyone who is ready to jumpstart a healthier lifestyle. It is a perfect place to start! There are lots of pearls of wisdom for people to create and take their health to the next level to access optimal wellness using your expertise and experience.
- Dr. Barry Taylor, ND - Speaker and Author- "LOVE YOUR BODY" Massachusetts, USA

I absolutely recommend Sick, Fat and Tired to my patients, family, and friends. I am extremely thankful that Dr. Pat has applied her energy, experience, and wisdom to providing this healthful and powerful resource to us all. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to break away from the standard medical care that provides no answers or positive results and wants to achieve optimal health.

A North Star in your Fitness Journey
Given the current chaos in the world today , genuine and blunt scholarship is need more than ever. This book allows one to trouble-shoot their own health with Dr. Boulogne's surgically straight-forward questions, evaluations, and analysis.This book covers everything "'under the hood " as to what a person needs to know about their own health. Given her background as a Chiropractic Doctor and Certified Acupuncturist - she comprehensively gets right to the source of your ailment rather than addressing surface-level symptoms.I absolutely love this book and would recommend this title to anyone looking to take the first step of their health journey.

    5.0 out of 5 stars What an amazing book!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2022

    In this book Dr. Pat really breaks down the health issues you may be dealing with in today’s society, asking you the hard questions to determine what may really be going on in each part of your body. She helps you to uncover hidden issues that you didn’t even know you had. I found the reviews to be an accurate representation of the content of this book, except that someone who negatively wrote "one big question" heading, and for sure didn’t understand or read the book content. The body is complex and understanding the complexities, at least with my physician who always has asked a lot of questions to get to the root of the problem. So many signs are ignored by many people. With these questions, I was able to focus on where to start, have a better conversation with my treating physician, and the best path to take for the best results. This awareness Dr. Pat contributes is priceless, that is where the journey begins. I really enjoyed reading this book and became much more aware of all the health challenges our bodies face today. Learning from Dr. Pat’s vast knowledge of all things to do with your body's overall health and fitness. If you're struggling with a lack of energy, feeling sick all the time, or can’t seem to lose the weight you’ve been wanting to, I highly recommend reading this book!

    5.0 out of 5 stars The questions that will get you on the path from surviving to thriving!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2019

    "It's not that they can't see the solution. They can't see the problem." - G.K. Chesterton

    Hasn’t it ever happened when you asked the doctor about a pain or a feeling that you get and the doctor doesn’t really have an answer? Or when you have felt that something isn’t right, but you aren’t going to tell the doctor because the doctor will just say that you are fine? The medical establishment diagnoses big problems based on a cluster of symptoms. Once you have a flat tire, they know how to diagnosis it and tell you how to change it. But, before it’s flat, when you are driving and sensing something might not be right, they don’t know what to do.

    Dr. Pat’s book is like the tire pressure device that can tell you along the way how to be proactive so that you avoid a flat tire. She is asking a different question than your doctor. She is asking for all the little signs that you usually think in consequential because you aren’t bent over a toilet or in the ER. On a first read, you might not know the answer to some of these questions because you never paid attention. Read this book as a manual for how to pay attention to your own body’s signs as to what is happening. Once you know the questions, you can start to discover the answers. When you have the answers, Dr. Pat or another Functional Medicine practitioner can help you understand what they mean and how to use them as a road map towards better health. Instead of surviving each day, you can go to thriving each day.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A book that will give you “peace of mind.”

    I bought this book after hearing Dr. Pat on radio… If you want to really understand what your best steps are, if you are struggling with a health issue or crisis, have a poor immune system, are interested in maintaining excellent health, feel like you are aging too fast, or unsure about how healthy you really are, then you owe it to yourself to find out sooner than later where you should prioritize your self-care and get this book.

    With the advent of COVID, knowing that I have a great immune system (Chapter 7) made this purchase way beyond the cost of the book. Thank you Patricia.

    It is true, you know if you are- TIRED or FAT, but you do not know always know if you are SICK or WHY. Sickness takes time to develop and can be lurking below the surface undetected. I now have a clear picture of my health and complete understanding where to focus my time, and energy. This book is a keeper, I will check in time and time again. It is very user friendly.

    As a licensed doctor of holistic medicine and acupuncture, and a primary care provider with over 20 years in private practice, I would encourage anyone who has an interest in leveling up in terms of wellness and wellbeing MUST utilize the information Dr Pat has provided in this book. She has truly distilled a wealth of functional and lifestyle medical experience into a guidebook that puts the power of health diagnosis into the hands of the laypeople. Doctors, therapists, and coaches can be amazing guides at best, but only YOU are the expert when it comes to yourself!

    Dr. Pat takes all her wisdom and years of training and experience given us an easy to implement and understand way to decipher symptoms and get on the road to better health. I like that the assessment was broken into several bodily systems and encompasses emotional wellness as well. My results were eye-opening and several of the symptoms were things I would never normally pay attention to. This is a resource I'll come back to again and again and makes me feel empowered to take charge of my health so that I can live long and well.
