A Must-Have for the Journey Back to Health!

Like many, I was confused and overwhelmed by my diagnosis of hypothyroidism and Hashimotos. I decided to buy this book along with The Paleo Approach. By reading chapters a little at a time and taking notes, I've gained a better understanding of my illness. I've been searching for answers and this book addresses many of my questions. It's a valuable reference book and in my opinion, a necessary read for anyone who wants to figure out how to find their way back to health. Dr. Wentz' Facebook page is a place I frequent as she continues to share articles and advice that we can benefit greatly from.

I'm a tough case thanks to severe hypothyroidism, what works for "everyone" has never worked for me, so I purchased this book with with cautious optimism-I was not disappointed! The Hormone Reset Diet is more than a diet, it's a way of life, and I love that Sara eases the user into a structured, healthy method to a higher quality of living through what they consume. She also takes care to explain why de-stressing and clean food are both so important, and delves into the contaminants in our modern day food supplies, which so many people are unaware of. Her friendly, one on one style of writing make it seem like I'm sitting next to a good friend, discussing ways to obtain vibrant health and regain the lives we lost through stress, poor eating habits and daily obligations. Sara offers hope, where other health programs fail, she explains clearly why this one will succeed, which gave me the enthusiasm I needed to begin the program and stick with it. I've only been on it a week, and I have already noticed a difference in how I feel and look, my skin is softer, my pants a little bit less tight, and less 'brain fog'. I feel good knowing that I'm doing something good for my body and as such, my soul.  Thank you Sara Gottfried for giving me hope!

What a wonderful, informative and well written guide to taking control of one's health.  Told from the perspective of someone with pure intentions who wants to share the journey of regaining her own health with others, this succinct book is meant for a broad audience, whether it's an individual who is struggling with their own health issues or one who is eager to help a friend or family member in need of regaining their independence from the thorny medical system as it exists today.  Peaceful Medicine rightly questions the validity of current, common medical practices of Western society then introduces the reader to alternative avenues for them to consider and pursue in their quest to live full, active lives beyond the burden of pharmaceuticals and/or invasive procedures.  I, myself, wrestled with severe chronic medical issues a few years ago and would have been thrilled to have such a book as this to lessen my fears regarding where to turn and help educate me regarding the plethora of alternatives to our "take this pill and call me in the morning" approach to curing what ails us.  Peaceful Medicine is the perfect title for this book; the author lets us into her life while extending a helping hand that shows us how she overcame her own struggles, thus shedding relevant possibilities on how we can overcome ours as well.  She then lets us experience alongside her what she's learned from different alternative healers who fully incorporate mind, body, spirit, giving the reader the gift of confidence to ponder which "peaceful medicine" would be the right path for them.  To me, this knowledge is invaluable.  A huge thank you to the author, Caryn Polito, for sharing her insight and using it for the good of helping others along the way.

I wish I had this book a year ago when I started my journey to a new, healthier me. Beth's book is concise, thoughtful, and encouraging. It is a must have read for anyone going thru the bariatric process or great for someone that might have slipped a little and needs the encouragement to get back on track. It is also a great book to read thru with your family and the important people that are here to help you start your new journey.

Now this is what I call user friendly. I know nothing about foods that heal, but after reading this book, I have learned so much. Just reading it has made me feel better. So informative and the layout is very easy to use. Finally a book I can understand. My husband is reading it now and can't put it down. He keeps saying, " WOW, listen to this?" Forgive me for copying this paragraph below, but this really is what the book is about.

A well-researched reference to the foods, vitamins, and herbs that help treat and prevent more than eighty health problems. Diseases include Alzheimer's, diabetes, heart disease, and many types of cancer- including breast, colon, pancreatic, skin, and lung cancers. The user-friendly style of this book is a blessing when you need information quickly.

Excellent book Ms. Pamela Young. I want you to know I also read 'The Healing'. You are a wonderful author. I look forward to more books from you in the future.

I never thought my food choices had much to do with my health, since I've always been slim. Dr. McDougall supplies an impressive amount of information to prove how wrong my thinking was. I have been following his program for five months now, and the difference in my weight, cheerfulness,  energy, and cellulite is truly amazing. The recipes will help you learn to  love the good taste of vegatables, fruits, grains, and beans as opposed to  the standard American diet of meat, dairy, and sugary treats. I'd always  suspected that my hysterectomy (at only 32 years old) for uterine fibroids  and craniotomy (last year at age 34) for a meningioma brain tumor (hormone  related) were due to my poor eating habits, and Dr. McDougall confirmed my  suspicions. Our regular doctors don't tell us how important diet and  exercise are to our health. They treat our symptoms. Dr. McDougall's  program will help you prevent the symptoms. Every woman needs to read this  book! Get ready for a whole new life!

Wow! I am recommending this book to my own patients with health concerns--when you follow her daily plan you take back control and bless your body with the love to heal!  The structure of "Choosing Happy" in day 1 and "Cracking a Smile" in Day 10  is a fantastic complement to the medical plan provided by the patient's physician.  As a runner, I thoroughly enjoyed the humor from a 'non-runner' in day 10! Well done!

I am recovering health nerd who was desperately in need of this book. I spent years eating only organic, grass-fed, fermented, made-at-home-from-scratch everything. I never went out to eat and brought my own food everywhere  even on vacation and to other peoples homes.  After a dismal month-long stint on a grain-free paleo diet, I found Matt Stones work. His message of trusting in your body (eat when hungry, drink when thirsty, sleep when tired) was so liberating, I actually cried when I realized how far away I had gotten from myself. In the pursuit of health, I had unknowingly drifted into a world of deprivation, fear, and conflict  one where you had to be constantly vigilant to avoid all the GMOs, fake fats, chemicals, pesticides, and other poisons in our modern food.  His excellent books Diet Recovery and 12 Paleo Myths, as well as this one, were pivotal in my shift back to a place of relaxed comfort and finding pleasure in food (hurray for potatoes!). It may sound small, but this change has completely altered my daily life and I am so grateful.
The reason Im giving this book four stars instead of five is I didn't find the section on sleep helpful. It was much too brief and overly simplified. I suffer from insomnia, despite already following all of the advice offered here (get outside, earthing, reduce EMF/RFR exposure) and was really hoping for something more.

This book is simply marvelous! I have been struggling for years with my weight, acne, hair loss, and lack of energy. I decided to start fasting in order to cleanse my body from the toxic build up. Meyerowitz gave wonderful juice combinations that have helped me to stick to my fasting routine.

This book contains a lot of beneficial information on how to begin fasting, what is fasting, and the various types of fasts. The author also talks about a healing event verses a healing crisis. This was very helpful to me--because without it I would have been convinced that I was dying.

If you want to get your health back...if you want to lose weight...if you need more energy then you should consider going on a fast. And this book is the ultimate guide in finding and maintaining your health though natural means.

This is a wonderful book, to not only read through, but to have handy as a helpful reminder on making wise choices for one's health and well being. This book was a catalyst for me, as it made me recognize that I was ready to adopt some life changes. This book is written in such a way that is easy to understand and connect with. The author is clearly passionate and encouraging about assisting readers in making improvements with their health. Short chapters allow for understanding and mental processing. There are helpful, easy to adopt suggestions throughout the book as well. Rosie Bank delivers a simple yet thorough way of taking care of oneself. Now, on a daily basis, I remind myself that health truly does matter!

Amazing information! Well written and informative. I have been on a journey to health for years, and this is the first time I feel I am going in with eyes wide open. Thank you, Dr. Fuhrman, for sharing your knowledge and for your true compassion to heal your patients. I am about to start this journey today or tomorrow, depending on when I can get to grocery store. In 6 weeks, I plan to be well on my road to recovery and off most of my medications. I will be sharing this book with my GP and CRNP, as well as with friends and family. Here's to your health!
