Leo Galland

I've heard Dr. Galland speak in several health-related online summits, so I was excited to read this book. It didn't disappoint! Because of my career and my own health concerns, I've read many books on similar topics—how to solve the mystery of why people get sick and struggle to get well. And yet, I learned many new things from this book.

It's also worth saying that Dr. Galland backs up his methodologies with both scientific research (duly footnoted) and his own clinical experiences.

I like the focus on not only changing toxic habits for our own health, but for the health of the planet. I also appreciated the detailed and specific protocol of the diet-related recommendations. Often dietary suggestions are too broad and don't make it clear how to implement them, but not in this case. I will be recommending this book to friends and clients!

Thanks to NetGalley and Hay House for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.… (mer)

As a sufferer of allergies both food and nature this book was an eye opener, particularly the part about the sulfite allergy. I have a severe sulfite allergy and to read that others have this and that it contributes to asthma (which I have) and other ailments really gave me pause and I will be discussing with my doctor about his treatments (I have a holistic doctor who won't think this is weird at all)

While Dr. Gallands experiences, case studies and methods may not resinate with everyone, those who are at the end of their rope or not enamored with western medicine may want to run out and pick this up, it might not only be an eye opener but also a life saver.… (mer)

I have lost the same 2-4 pounds endlessly (and any woman I know nodds her head here) I chose this book arbitrarily and told my husband - they're all the same, I just need one which gives me a clear eating/cooking plan and this is the current favorite.

Except, except they're not all the same, becuause I am up to 8 pounds lost and it's working far better than all the hundreds of other books/schemes I've tried. I've done south beach and weight watchers and jenny craig and even had fancy food delivered to my door. And this is better. It's harsh - in that it cuts out a huge amount of food groups - basically all refined sugar and most grains - but it's effective and I eat what it tells me too and like the book promised, the weight is starting to slowly melt off. For the first time in a long time, I feel hopeful.… (mer)
