Amazing work.

This is a great course for anyone wanting to take control of their own health destiny. It's great for beginners and advanced learners alike.

Excellent Resource

As far as Great Courses go, I found this lecture to be a wonderful resource. Delivered by a cardiologist, this doctor has embraced and explained functional medicine in excellent, easy to follow terms. If you have any interest at all in your health and wellbeing, this is worth the credit.

Great Book!!

I love this book! I listened to parts of it multiple times. It’s a keeper for me.

So much to.learn

This course is amazing. There is so much new information to take in. I am super excited and will be implementing many of the things I learned. I hope to share what I learned with my friends and family. It gives me hope for the future.

Truly Holistic

So many great tips and insight shared. I learned so much and am excited to share this book with my loved ones. The doctor discussed so many important topics that most people don't usually associate with physical health, like the importance of faith, relationships, forgiveness. I have been so inspired since I started listening to this audio book and will be listening to it again and taking noted this time!

Great and VERY complete!

What did you like best about this story?

Dr. G takes on every aspect of health...and nails it! She is very easy to listen to and understand. I really couldn't stop listening! Have to go back and listen again....soon!

Not what I'd hoped for

Would you consider the audio edition of The Science of Natural Healing to be better than the print version?

No. The professor's delivery was stilted and like a lecture.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Science of Natural Healing?

When he said Lucy was human's ancestor. I think that's been pretty well disproved at this time.

Would you be willing to try another one of Professor Mimi Guarneri’s performances?

No

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No.

Any additional comments?

I was really interested in the subject matter, but could not listen to the professor's delivery. The subject could have been so interesting but I just couldn't stick with it.

Great Book - Well Worth It!

I enjoyed the book and have already changed the way I eat. I listened to the audiobook on 1.25 speed.

So much practical info!

This course starts out slowly but Dr G's accessible style pulls you in. She shares so much useful, simple, scientifically backed info to help maintain health without all the medication. I will actually go back to several chapters for " booster shots"!
Highly recommend for anyone who wants to participate in keeping themselves healthy. B

Excellent book!

Extremely educational. Dr G makes nutrition and self healing easy to understand. The linkages between nature, body and healing where well established! 👍
