One of the best books I ever read

Any additional comments?

This book had so much great information. It was a breath of fresh air to have a narrator who gave scientific backing to her claims that I could go research myself. So may of the nutrition books on the market don't place emphasis on the role of the medical community within the bigger picture of holistic medicine, and I really appreciated that inclusion.

Great review

I enjoyed this. The author was a skeptic but natural healing experiences turned her into a believer. Great starting place for a new student of the subject. Informative! Enjoyable!

Amazing work.

This is a great course for anyone wanting to take control of their own health destiny. It's great for beginners and advanced learners alike.

Excellent Resource

As far as Great Courses go, I found this lecture to be a wonderful resource. Delivered by a cardiologist, this doctor has embraced and explained functional medicine in excellent, easy to follow terms. If you have any interest at all in your health and wellbeing, this is worth the credit.

Great Book!!

I love this book! I listened to parts of it multiple times. It’s a keeper for me.

So much to.learn

This course is amazing. There is so much new information to take in. I am super excited and will be implementing many of the things I learned. I hope to share what I learned with my friends and family. It gives me hope for the future.

Truly Holistic

So many great tips and insight shared. I learned so much and am excited to share this book with my loved ones. The doctor discussed so many important topics that most people don't usually associate with physical health, like the importance of faith, relationships, forgiveness. I have been so inspired since I started listening to this audio book and will be listening to it again and taking noted this time!
