Customer Reviews

Excellent Book

Dr. LaValle book is a great resourse. As a fellow chiropractor and Certified Clinical Nutritionist (CCN), I have had the privledge of listening to Dr. LaValle speak in person. He's one of the best. This book follows suit and is very detailed and thorough. It would be an excellent reference for a doctor and yet has enough details for a "non doctor" to follow and implement a plan towards better health and know the reasons why! The book has all kinds of information to help people get the background they need to understand and beceome healthy!

Great Book For Understanding How Your Body Functions

I originally bought this book because of the title thinking that it would help with my metabolism and give me answers to how to speed it up. In that regard the title was misleading but as I later learned while reading this book that metabolism refers to much more than how fast your body burns calories. Anyone serious about making their body the #1 priority and giving it what it needs to function properly and increase health longevity should read this book. Excellent, excellent, excellent. I could never be in the medical field but I understood enough to learn about the interactions of the body system as it refers to your health. The supplement list is great (I would love to know if there is an updated version in case new products are available). Also the test guide to learn where your problem areas are is very useful. All in all 5 star, I only wish there were more doctors like Dr. LaValle to assist people in there quest for optimal health.

Copies should be handed out at birth.

This book has the answers for those that are interested in health. Although it may be directed more for healthcare providers, it still provides value for all.

Doctor recommended if you want to know it all.

This book is clear and complete overview of all aspects of how your body interacts with the environment--food, toxins, allergies. It would be overwhelming except for his style to go over the same issues from different angles so you get a clear picture. Though not for everyone, it is clear and easy to access. I have learned a lot from reading it--many gaps in my knowledge base filled in even though I have been using nutritional approaches to medicine for over 25 years. Savor it slowly and the reward to finding the "Keys" to good health will be many.

This book is great - helps across the board

Somebody finally put it all together. I've been looking for a book that explains all the systems and components of a healthy lifestyle and metabolism. It's worth the work! I feel much more confident about choosing what I eat and how I live.
