Our review:

I highly enjoyed this book. The idea behind treating the cause not the symptom is one that I highly advocate for and I was so glad to see that very approach discussed in this book.  Even more so, it discusses in detail that there is more than just one fix for all problems.  The idea that you have to figure out what works best for you and your body and your health makes more sense than the one size fits all mode of operation we see in the world today. 

This book talks about balancing all the sides of our lives in order to be healthy: Exercise, spiritual health, nutrition, stress, its all in there in easy to read and understand words. This book was wonderful in that it breaks it down into simple to digest steps. It’s not just an information dump of stuff. These authors appear to really want to provide you with real and useful ways to a better and healthier way of living. 

It’s a short read at only 230ish pages, but it is filled with loads of information. Plus there is an interactive website and on-line group you can join to really get into the steps and the process.  I only browsed around so far through the online information but so far it looks easy to use and appears to be a great addition to an already useful product.  I truly recommend this book.  

You can purchase the book on Amazon (it is also available in an electronic format).
