“As a practicing physician focused on how nutrition, prevention and wellness factor into today’s cutting edge medicine, I’m constantly urging my patients to consider how the small daily choices we make impact our bodies.

The Wellness Project is a must-read for anyone wondering how all these pieces fit together, and ready to tackle them in their own life.”
