Reviews
Annemarie Colbin is a brilliant nutritionist who has once again shown that optimal well-being can be found through living a naturally healthy lifestyle. At a time when our healthcare specialists rely too much on medications, she presents a program that relies on whole foods, exercise, and spiritual understanding. I'm happy to prescribe this book first for anyone wishing to keep their bones strong and live long. --Stephan Rechtschaffen, MD, cofounder and chairman of the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies in Rhinebeck, NY, author of Time Shifting , and coauthor of The Omega Vitality and Wellness Book
