Julie Silver, MD is an Assistant Professor
at Harvard Medical School and an award-winning author of more than a dozen books
focusing on recovery from serious illnesses and injuries. Cure magazine reviewed
her new book, After Cancer Treatment: Heal Faster, Better, Stronger and wrote,
“This is one you need... I like that she understands."
In 2003, Dr. Silver was recognized for her work helping people to physically
heal by the Boston Junior Chamber of Commerce with the Ten Outstanding Young
Leaders (TOYL) award. That same year, she was diagnosed with breast cancer at
the age of 38. Following her toxic, though life-saving, treatments, she was
exhausted and in poor physical health. After rehabilitating herself, she founded
a new program called RESTORE that focuses on helping cancer survivors physically
recover.
Today, Dr. Silver’s message is one of hope and healing. An upbeat speaker,
she is most interested in empowering people and giving them the tools they need
to heal. In 2005, her physician colleagues in Massachusetts selected her for a
“Top Doctors” award, and in 2006, the American Cancer Society bestowed her with
the prestigious Lane Adams Quality of Life award in recognition for her work
with cancer survivors.
Dr. Silver has been featured on The Early Show, ABC News Now, AARP Radio, NPR
radio, USA Today, and many others.
She continues to impart the gift of super healing in her latest book,
Super Healing: The Clinically Proven Plan to Maximize Recovery from Illness
or Injury. Her upcoming book What Helped Get Me Through, features
advice from cancer survivors, in their own words, regarding what helped them get
through the toughest times.
