Wellness 101

"Book Review 1: ""Superbly written, scientifically valid, well-illustrated and an exceptional foundation for the average person to optimize their diverse epigenetic inputs in order to live younger, healthier, happier, longer and cheaper!"" - Richard Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., FACS 17th Surgeon General of the United States Book Review 2: ""This self-styled, beautifully ""illustrated guidebook"" is remarkable in its genre. Gloria Treister proffers here a comprehensive learning tool for lifelong wellness, one of the best you could ferret out of the fuss and rattle of health advice and information books in that crowded, confusing terrain. Gloria Treister presents abundant, well documented information about nutrition, exercise, stress, toxicity, heart health, supplements, aging and much, much more. And, bonus, fabulous recipes. She parses this abundance with clear tools for readers to figure out their unique biochemistry. She provides a plethora of options for managing and resolving symptoms and chronic conditions. Always the teacher, she gets behind the health consumer's eyes to look out and discern how to help us to see better what we have to do. She demystifies important references to epigenetics, food plan guides, neurotransmitters, glycemic load, plant-based this and that, insulin resistance and antioxidants, to name of few of the powerful, necessary topics covered. She is invitational, enthusiastic, perky, and fun in her writing style. She asks elephant- in-the- room, politically tough questions about, for example, when to trust drugstore brands or what is the impact of drugs on your nutritional health? In my many years in higher education medicine, only occasionally have I come across such an accessible, articulate, fearless book for the lay and the professional reader...."" - David J. Schleich, PhD, President Emeritus National University of Natural Medicine Book Review 3: ""I love your book, not only because it is well written, but also because it is a wonderful artistic journey into the field of wellness, and all that it has to offer the reader in improving their quality of life. This is truly a book that sets a new standard for making an individual's wellness plan become both accessible and joyful... Here is my review: ""As the co-founder of the Institute for Functional Medicine, I have been involved as a researcher, educator and contributor to the development of the wellness field for more than forty years. During this period I have reviewed many important books and programs focused on wellness. In reading Gloria Treister's book ""Wellness 101: Simple Steps to Good Health,"" I recognized that this book is something very special. Not only is the information on the development of a personal wellness program authentic, but the way it is presented is artistically engaging and totally fun to read. This book is truly unique in its ability to provide the tools that a person needs to design and implement their own wellness program...."" - Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D.-Founder Institute for Functional Medicine Book Review 4: ""After embedding our research teams for two decades with the world's longest lived people on earth, I can tell you that Wellness 101 presents both the contemporary science and ancient wisdom of living well. With a blend of tools, tips, bullet points, recipes, and evidence-based knowledge, this book is an overtly pragmatic guide for anyone looking to absorb the science of wellness and unleash the wisdom into their own lives. Who Gloria is as a wellness expert is on full display in her elegant presentation which threads genetics, habits, relationships, and meta effects on ourselves and our society."" -- Dan Buettner Jr., Blue Zones, LLC"
