On Balancing Hormones
"The Hormone Reset Diet, Heal Your Metabolism by Sara Gottfried, M.D - This book teaches the reader what changes are happening in the body during menopause that cause weight gain and how to reset them by eating the right foods. I learned a lot from this book!"

Food and TCM
"For any person even the slightest bit interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Paul Pitchford's Healing with Whole Foods will have you hooked. This tome is my #1 nutrition reference book and I've spent countless hours looking up health conditions, cross-referencing food-organ connections and reading about new ways to prepare foods in this book."
