Mark Hyman was the medical director at Canyon Ranch when I was on the nutrition staff there, and is a true visionary. His book helps you make changes in the way you eat and think about food that will stay with you for life. It offers a clear explanation of how the food we eat communicates with our genes, resulting in health or illness.

This well researched book is written by a layperson in layperson terms. It encourages everyone who has had a bone density scan and told to take a medication, to delve deeper into the surrounding issues and consider other treatment and prevention options, including nutrition.
Although now somewhat dated, this book includes excellent information about the impact of nutrition on bone health, including a good section on acid-alkaline balance.
Dr. Quillin lays down the foundation of nutritional intelligence in easy-to-follow terms – for anyone who wants to live a healthier life and even more importantly for those coping with disease and looking for support during treatment and healing.
A how-to-guide on the joys of going back to basics and preparing fresh, whole, unprocessed foods. Even if you follow only one or two suggestions, you will benefit immensely.
Somewhat technical but extremely insiteful and well worth it. I highly recommend it for anyone struggling with a GI disorder.
Written by a person who has overcome serious health problems through self-healing, this book comprehensively outlines the foundation of Ayurvedic nutrition with a self-assessment questionnaire and extensive charts to identify the most healing foods for your individual body type.
A scientific and entertaining book about how stress affects our health and how we can minimize this risk.
A well-illustrated, easy to follow reference book that shows beginner to advanced exercises to train most muscle groups.
This book has a chapter on strength training you can do at home or on the road with minimal equipment such as rubber bands.
This is a beautifully written and engaging book, backed by science, on the life cycle of food in the American diet. If it does nothing else, it will make you more mindful of what you eat.
An entertaining and educational story for people of all ages.
An excellent source guide, written in clear terms to help you make sense of your doctor’s diagnosis and communicate more effectively about it.
