The Patient’s Playbook for Chronic Illness
A couple of weeks ago I shared my review of the new book, The Patient's Playbook: Saving Your Life and the Lives of Those You Love. I can't recommend this book enough, and as I read it I couldn't help but think "man I really want to talk with this guy!". I'd love to have really just sat down with … [Read more...]
Review: The Patient’s Playbook – How to Save Your Life and the Lives of Those You Love
It's rare that I will pick up a paper book by choice and read it anymore. But, every once in a while a book will come my way that I want to read bad enough that I will deal with the paper.

Review: As My Body Attacks Itself
One of my favorite things about this blog is the way that it's allowed me to connect with so many awesome people.

What is the Point of Suffering?
What is the point of all this suffering? Last month I read a really great book. It's a book that had a positive effect on me and I think it does most people who find it at the right time. If you find it at the wrong time you will likely disregard it as "new age hoopla". The book is … [Read more...]
Changing Your Diet (Review: The Kaizen Plan for Healthy Eating)
When it comes to making dietary changes there are two ways to go about it. There's the approach I'm taking of basically removing everything and starting from scratch. Juicing for several days to a week, then slowly adding foods back in. By slowly adding foods in you have a chance to see what … [Read more...]
