Publisher's summary

Let your body do the work

Do you have to tell your leg to heal from a scrape? Your lungs to take in air? Your body that it's hungry? No. Your body does these things automatically, effortlessly. Vibrant health is your birthright and within your grasp; you just have to step out of the way. In Effortless Healing, online health pioneer, natural medicine advocate, and best-selling author Dr. Joseph Mercola reveals the nine simple secrets to a healthier, thinner you. The results are amazing, and the steps can be as easy to implement as:

• Throwing ice cubes in your water to make it more structured
• Skipping breakfast, as it could be making you fat
• Eating up to 75 percent of your calories each day in fat for optimal health, reduction of heart disease, and cancer prevention
• Avoiding certain meat and fish but enjoying butter
• Eating sauerkraut (and other fermented foods) to improve your immune system and your mood
• Walking barefoot outside to decrease system-wide inflammation (and because it just feels great)
• Enjoying a laugh: it's as good for your blood vessels as 15 minutes of exercise

Effortless Healing is the distillation of decades of Dr. Mercola's experience and cutting-edge medical knowledge. With his wisdom and that of your body, you can optimize your health, your weight, and your life...effortlessly.

Loaded with information - I had to listen twice!

As always, Dr. Mercola is laser focused on sharing his best health advice. While it is true that all of this information can be found on his website and videos, it's worth buying this book, as it is well organized and enjoyable to hear. I also appreciate that Dr. Mercola includes methods for health improvement that doesn't require buying his products.

One of the best books on the subject!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Effortless Healing?

This book is laid out in a very organized manner. I was not reading it for weight loss - but the portion on healing makes total sense.

Makes Excellent Sense

I've listened to numerous books on health and diet. Nonetheless, I learned some fascinating new things with this book. I highly recommend it.

Mercola is Legit

This read really makes it easy for people who have little science or biology background to understand. Also this is the culmination on Fat for Fuel, Grain Brain, And The complete Guide to Fasting, along with a little Primal Blueprint! So a great road map for people wanting to make a change in their life for the better!

It has to be read by everyone. Just brilliant!

Simple, concise and very educating. It should be in everyone's library. It is my first audio book. highly recommended.

Effortless?

Effortless?.....Easier said than done. I was hoping the Dr. would have given vegan or vegetarian alternatives. His plan is totally doable, it's just going to take some effort.
