Recommended Books

Body Into Balance, Maria Noel Groves – Focusing solely on herbs, this book educates on the ways in which herbs can be used to prevent and treat disease. While some herbs mentioned may be harder to incorporate, many are everyday herbs that you can easily find at the grocery store.

Deeply Holistic, Pip Walker – Each chapter of this guide to intuitive self care, focuses on a different part of the body. In addition to explaining how each area works, chapters provide targeted holistic self-care suggestions including a wide range of topics including diet, intention and gratitude, impacts of emotions, breathing and excercise.

Foods That Harm Foods That Heal, Readers Digest – A very well organized and easy to follow book, these authors break out topics by both symptom (e.g. arthritis, digestion etc.) as well as by food (e.g. lemons, corn etc.). While not overly in depth, the book provides a nice introduction to get you started.

How Not To Die, Michael Greger, M.D. FACLM – This is by far my favorite book. Dr. Greger does an excellent job of educating the reader, backing up his claims with numerous scientific and research based studies, and providing proactive and reactive ways to approach each disease.

The Disease Dilusion, Dr. Jeffrey S. Bland – This book focuses on ways we can proactively prevent disease vs treating it reactively with various medicines and medical treatments. The end of the book includes a variety of recipes.

The Whole Foods Diet, John Mackay, Alona Pulde, M.D. and Matthew Lederman, M.D. – Written in part by the co-founder of Whole Foods, this book discusses what we know about diet and health, defines what the whole foodie lifestyle is and provides a variety of recipes. Throughout the book the authors use real world stories of individuals who have been helped with this approach.

SuperFoods Rx, Steven Pratt, M.D. and Kathy Matthews – Focusing on the ‘fabulous fourteen’, this book looks at various super foods that can be used to promote health and change lives.
