The Independent Press Awards celebrate excellence in independent publishing by honoring books that demonstrate outstanding creativity, editorial excellence and relevance to contemporary issues, a press release noted. Thousands of submissions from independent authors and publishers around the world are reviewed by a panel of industry experts, making this recognition a significant achievement for authors outside traditional publishing houses.
“The 2026 Independent Press Award recipients reflect the incredible momentum within the independent sector,” said Gabrielle Olczak, Independent Press Award President and Award Sponsor. “Independent voices are no longer just an alternative; they are leading the way in literary innovation.”
Adjusted Reality stood out in this global field for its forward-thinking perspective, clarity of message and ability to challenge conventional narratives while setting new benchmarks for excellence in health and wellness literature.
“This award reflects Adjusted Reality’s ability to resonate with diverse audiences, from healthcare professionals to individuals seeking deeper understanding of mind-body balance,” says Kent S. Greenawalt, Chairman of F4CP. “It’s an honor to be recognized among such innovative and impactful independent works as we continue to cultivate a better understanding of the chiropractic approach to health.”
This accolade strengthens the growing list of achievements for Adjusted Reality, joining its Amazon Best Seller and Barnes & Noble Best Seller designations. These honors reflect both popular appeal and critical acclaim, highlighting the book’s relevance and reach.
For the chiropractic profession and broader health community, this recognition signals a shift toward integrative, patient-centered perspectives in education and practice. Adjusted Reality encourages practitioners to expand beyond traditional frameworks, fostering holistic whole-being that acknowledges the interplay of physical, emotional and environmental factors in health.
“Winning the Independent Press Award is a wonderful milestone for the profession,” added Sherry McAllister, DC, CCSP, FACC, the author of Adjusted Reality. “It affirms that the chiropractic and whole-being health approach is not only valuable but essential in today’s cultural conversation about healthcare.”
