Ready to make some changes but confused  on how to even begin? 

Done with the diets and fad foods?  Just need some reliable information from a trusted source?  That is why I wrote a book.  Actually more of a guide, most of us don't have time for a small novel and just seek some facts.  It is for all my friends, co-workers, and even strangers who said,  "could you write that down for me?" 
My guide is brief, to the point, full of charts and bullets, not chapter upon chapter.  It will offer you guidance on where to make  the changes that really matter.   PREVIEW & ORDER

Even the simplest changes can make a positive impact to your health.  Don't wait until your body asks.  Offer it health and healing through whole food nutrition.

Sincerely,
