Is 22,000 words long enough for a non-fictional book?

I've written a non-fiction, informational book on the subject of weight loss.

The book is 22,000 words long, and all of the content is high quality. I could probably add enough content to equate to 25,000-30,000 words - but the quality of the content wouldn't be as good.

Is it likely that I'll be able to find a publisher?

    A typical fiction book is at least 40,000 words. So, probably not. But, hey, it can't hurt to try, can it?
