Excellent book on how to better improve your health thru proper nutrition. Written by a brilliant heart surgeon that goes into great detail about why you should eat certain foods and avoid others  to lose weight and obtain optimum health. I bought several additional copies to give to friends and family.

Fantastic book that approaches health the way it should be. Drugs should be a last resort...NOT the first approach at attempting optimal health. Dr. Wolfson is in my top 5 reading list with Dr. Mercola, Dr. Moulden and Andreas Moritz. You are in good company  Dr. Wolfson. Thank you for the enlightening education on maintaining  good health, and also confirming some of my core beliefs reguarding big pharma, wellness and the lies that are spun every day to the average person who doesn't have the time or inclination to question the medical norm.

As I get deeper into my health and fitness journey, I have become more interested in alternative medicines and lifestyles.  Western medicine has its place, but it isn't the be-all end-all solution to health problems.

The author, Michelle Fondin, has done a marvelous job of explaining the ayurvedic life style.

Why I like this book:

* It's not preachy.  Michelle gives suggestions, not ultimatums.  Most people don't do well with ultimatums.  For example, she doesn't say you should give up meat completely, but rather go for grass-fed beef.

* The format.  Each chapter has questions for you to think about.  It really helps you to understand what you can get out of the ayurvedic life style.  It is really helpful to write things down, you retain them better that way.

* The easy to understand organization. Michelle shares her personal story and how ayurveda helped her.  She also explains the theory of ayurveda.

* The comprehensive nature of this guide.  This book has it all, from the theory, to physical health, to relationships, financial health, environmental health.  We are complex beings and to be really healthy, you can't separate all or our components.

If you want to lead a better, healthier and more fulfilling life, you will enjoy this book!

* I received a free copy of this book for reading and review.

The Perfect Health Diet (PHD) is without doubt the best diet book I have ever read, and I've read my fair share.  Unlike diet books that primarily extol the benefits of weight loss, PHD focuses on health, pure and simple.  When it does talk about weight loss, it's always as a part of a much more important framework, namely enhancing health.

For those of us who lament the fact that little can be done about our chronic ailments, this book is like a ray of sunshine (and a slap in the face).  Yes, there are things you can do, and the author's life story is testimonial that effect.  The book is equal measure brain and heart.  Every line is substantiated by references to medical literature, which overflow in the footnotes.  And between the lines you can sense the author's urgency to share the solutions he found to his (I should say, former) health problems with hopes that they provide others with similar relief.

The Perfect Health Diet is more than just a diet plan, it's an educational experience.  The author states at the onset that the book is intended for three different audiences, healthy people, chronic disease sufferers, and doctors and scientists.  While I am no doctor or scientist, I would not be surprised if many of them would find novel and useful ideas contained in this text.  They might even reconsider some long-held dogma.

For most of us, though, reading this book will take us one step closer to understanding our bodies, the things we eat, and what specific effect the latter has on the former.  And we'll be armed, if we so choose, to dig deeper in any given topic--each section is heavily referenced.

As a chronic disease sufferer, all I can say is that this book could be a real life-changer.

Dr Miller developed in this book an excellent master plan on how to stay healthy. Very readable and easy to follow. This book is a must for preventing disease, extending your life and staying away from prescription drugs. I read and studied it now a third time in five years. It is stimulation and encouraging. I wish I had such a fine book 40 years ago when I was 35. At 35 that is the time to start worrying about your health when you become 60 and older. When you have come down with a major illness at 60+ years your efforts to heal yourself will have to increase by a factor of 10. Not so good a prospect for a carefree retirement! I have experienced it!

The book is worth every penny!

The title of this book makes it sound like it is a shallow, easy read. It really is a no nonsense approach to aging and feeling better as that process happens. It's about using science and common sense to optimize the biological clock and really balancing health and well being.

I love the way the book is laid out.  It takes you through step by step explanations of both the history of the human diet and our current diet dilemma.  Everything is explained using the latest science, and the science is made easy to understand.  In my opinion, it's much easier to stick to a change in diet when you have a solid understanding of why you need to eat certain foods and avoid others.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to become healthier through proper eating habits.  You can adjust this diet to your individual needs, whether you're looking to lose weight, or are into fitness/training, or are just looking to become or stay healthy.  This book gives you a solid scientific basis to eating properly whatever your individual needs.

I have just started reading "The UltraSimple Diet" so I cannot write a full report.  Glancing at sections when purchased I decided the book would assist in providing a sensible eating plan that promotes optimal health.  On this basis I also bought a copy for a friend to assist this person in setting a structure toward general good health and weight control.  Because Dr. Hyman is knowledgeable in nutrition as an approach to getting and staying well, I am anticipating the book will deliver program assistance I am seeking.

This book changed my life. It is a dry and technical in places  but the  diet plan and the concepts are wonderful. This is a must read for people who are experiencing any health issues.  Read this before taking dangerous drugs or having surgery.

This is a fact based book and it reads that way.  I have always been interested in alternative medicine and thought I would like this for that reason.  This isn't about alternative medicine however.  It is really about the placebo effect and the ability your body has to heal itself.  It was designed to do that and there is plenty of proof about this ability.  This author does extensive research and goes over these scientific studies and proof of this.  I actually believe every medical professional should be required to read this.  There is a lot that needs to change in the way practitioners actually practice their medicine - the actual process can have a significant effect on the outcomes of patients.  If the goal is truly healthier patients, there is a lot of evidence here that shows that things should be done differently.  That was not really the point of the book but I took that from there.  A patient can do more as well.  There are too many chronic illnesses here and I think there could be significant relief using this thought and fewer pharmaceuticals.  I appreciate the research that went into writing this.  It doesn't read like a novel or even a self help book, but it gives you an enormous amount of pertinent information.

Very good information backed by scientific studies and the author's own experiences in the medical field. He doesn't try to sell you expensive pills or supplements just gives should advice on what to eat. The recommendations are found in the produce isle of the grocery store.

I highly recommend reading in order to improve the health of your entire family.
