This cookbook, Healthy Recipes for Your Nutritional Type, is an off- spring of my book Take Control of Your Health. I wrote Take Control of Your Health as a one-stop resource for achieving overall, optimal health in a natural way. I wanted you to have a simple-to-follow, complete guide for transforming your health physically, emotionally, and spiritually.Our current medical model is designed to merely treat the symp- toms of illness—without determining the underlying causes. Unfortunately, you’re often prescribed medication after expensive medication, creating more symptoms or side effects that require even more medication. Before you know it, you’re sicker than when you first went to the doctor.For thirty years, it’s been my mission to help people break that cycle of dependence on damaging and sometimes even fatal consequences of the current medical model.Most health problems are a result of an unhealthy lifestyle. Take Control of Your Health shows you the principles of healthy living— how to make natural lifestyle changes to restore and revitalize your body. At the heart of Take Control of Your Health is the importance of proper nutrition. It’s my belief that many of today’s health problems started when we moved away from the natural eating and lifestyle habits of our long-ago ancestors.In my practice and through my website, I’ve repeatedly seen the miraculous healing power of nutrition. Simple dietary changes can reverse even chronic degenerative diseases of both the mind and body. I’m not saying these changes happened overnight and I’m not advocating any quick fixes here. What I am saying is, with education, encouragement, and determination, you have the ability to achieve health independence and wellbeing.
