The Natural Vitality Advocate Book Series
Books for Rebuilding Health, Faith, Resilience, Clarity, and Direction
The Natural Vitality Advocate Series was created for people rebuilding after hardship, illness, neurological struggle, grief, uncertainty, spiritual testing, or the slow collapse of the life they thought they were going to live.
Across these books, David Julian explores healing, adversity, epilepsy, disability, mindset, faith, identity, independent thinking, personal responsibility, discernment, and the hard-earned process of learning how to move forward when life does not go according to plan.
No false promises. No empty motivation. No recycled self-help fluff. Just honesty, endurance, clarity, and the next faithful step forward.
More Than a Book List
These books were never meant to be disconnected projects. Together, they form a larger body of work about survival, rebuilding, endurance, healing, identity, faith, discernment, and learning how to think clearly in a world full of noise.
Healing Against the Odds begins with the foundation of perseverance, faith, and refusing to surrender during difficult seasons. Still Walking goes deeper into the personal reality of neurological hardship, disability, loss, identity, and rebuilding after life changes permanently. You Do You expands outward into independent thinking, responsibility, clarity, discernment, and resisting the systems that profit from confusion and dependence.
The result is not simply a collection of books. It is an authority framework built around resilience, clarity, faith, endurance, healing, and rebuilding from the inside out.

Book One
Healing Against the Odds
A book about healing, faith, endurance, and refusing to surrender when life becomes brutally difficult.
This book was written for people who are exhausted, discouraged, overwhelmed, or trying to rebuild while carrying invisible battles that other people may never fully understand. It speaks into the emotional and psychological reality of long-term struggle while refusing to collapse into hopelessness.
Rather than offering shallow motivation or unrealistic promises, Healing Against the Odds focuses on resilience, practical perspective, faith, perseverance, and learning how to continue forward one step at a time even when progress feels slow.
Best for: readers facing illness, chronic hardship, discouragement, neurological struggle, or difficult rebuilding seasons.
Book Two
Still Walking
A memoir of endurance, faith, disability, loss, neurological hardship, and learning how to keep moving after life changes permanently.
This is the most personal book in the series. It explores the emotional and practical reality of rebuilding after trauma, illness, setbacks, uncertainty, and the collapse of the life you once expected to have.
Rather than pretending suffering is easy or inspirational, Still Walking speaks honestly about grief, frustration, isolation, identity, endurance, faith, and the difficult process of continuing forward while carrying invisible weight.
Best for: readers navigating adversity, neurological challenges, loss, disability, identity rebuilding, or long seasons of uncertainty.
Book Three
You Do You
A bold call to think for yourself, reclaim clarity, rebuild direction, and stop outsourcing your identity and judgment to systems that profit from confusion and dependence.
This book moves beyond health alone and into the broader cultural, psychological, and spiritual patterns shaping modern life. It explores noise, manipulation, conformity, dependency, fear marketing, distraction, identity confusion, and the importance of learning how to think critically and independently again.
At its core, You Do You is about personal responsibility, discernment, resilience, and rebuilding a stronger internal foundation in a world constantly trying to shape your thinking for you.
Best for: readers who value independent thinking, personal responsibility, resilience, clarity, and stronger direction in modern life.
Who These Books Are For
Why This Series Exists
The Natural Vitality Advocate Series grew out of lived experience, not theory. These books were shaped through neurological hardship, epilepsy, setbacks, disability, uncertainty, long seasons of searching for answers, and the difficult process of learning how to keep going after life changes.
Writing became part of that rebuilding process. Not simply to tell a story, but to create something useful from the struggle itself — something capable of helping other people think more clearly, suffer more honestly, rebuild more intentionally, and move forward with greater strength and perspective.
This is the heart of NVA: clarity over confusion, wisdom over hype, endurance over defeat, and rebuilding one grounded step at a time.
Anchor Lines From the Series
“Clarity over confusion.”
“Strength is often built quietly over time.”

Final Thought
These books were written for people trying to rebuild something: their health, their faith, their resilience, their clarity, their identity, or their direction after difficult seasons.
The road forward is not always fast or simple. But rebuilding is still possible. Growth is still possible. Purpose is still possible.
Sometimes the next good step begins with the right perspective at the right moment.
