🎉 An invitation — the official Beyond the Prescription Book Club​!
Let's gather together this summer
For five years, I’ve been sitting at this desk writing Beyond the Prescription, and it finally hits shelves on August 11. I couldn’t have done it without this community. Your questions, your curiosity, your authenticity, AND your frustrations with the medical system—you are the reason I wrote the book.
So I want to say a HUGE thank you by gathering together to talk about it!
📣 I’m starting an official Beyond the Prescription Book Club. We’ll get into the nitty gritty of health and wellness and what it all means for YOU. It’s open exclusively to Substack readers and gives you early access to the book. Sign-ups are open in May only.
Here’s how it works:
Pre-order 3 copies in May (one to keep, two to gift or donate)
Submit your​ name and receipt through the form linked below (red button)
Then, you’ll get a protected advance digital copy of the book sen​t to you, plus the Zoom links for each meet-up. We’ll meet three times this summer:
Tuesday, June 23 at 5-6:30 PM ET
Tuesday, July 14 at 5-6:30 PM ET
Monday, August 3 at 5-6:30 PM ET
Come to one session, two, or all three!
If you’ve been thinking about pre-ordering, this is the moment. Sign-ups for the book club close at the end of May.
I can’t wait to see you there.
Lucy
P.S. If you have trouble with the form, email bookclub@lucymcbride.com and we'll get you signed up.
Beyond the Prescription comes out on August 11! I wrote it with you in mind.






Hi team! Here are some answers to the FAQs I'm getting!
- Book club sessions will be 90 min each - unscripted and more of a conversation - I will moderate but also participate
- I won't record the book club sessions in order to allow for open and honest dialogue
- This is your chance to really dive deep into your questions, the book's material, and your own sense of agency over your health

I AM SO EXCITED!
I’d love to do the book club. I’ve already preordered the book on April 1st though. Thoughts? Thank you!
