Nutrition and Integrative Medicine: A Primer for Clinicians

This Book is AMAZING. It’s 30 Chapters are a Blueprint for the Future of Medicine.

If you can get over the high cost of the book, its contents is organized for quick reference and very helpful to any student or clinician seeking information on alternative care options. I found this book very handy as reference to my area of study: nutrition.

This volume is an amazing reference text for integrative medicine. As a doctor practicing holistic medicine, I found it immensely valuable. It covers a variety of topics ranging from nutrition, gut microbiome to energy medicine. It is an essential text for the emerging paradigm of medicine and should be a part of the curriculum of all medical schools.

This textbook is the most comprehensive work in the field of integrative medicine that I have ever come across. See the table of contents below.Table of ContentsNutritional and Functional Medicine.

OUTSTANDING.

This book covers a broad range of topics on the subject written by authentic and highly regarded sources. It is well edited and is a valuable resource.

This book goes a long way to give Western trained (allopathic) physicians insights into dozens of natural health modalities. Public interest in nutritional and integrative solutions has dramatically increased making this book crucial for any practicing physician or healthcare professional. Patients are using natural means such as supplements, essential oils, herbs, nutrition, and others to correct and improve their health, so physicians should be at least aware of the basics of these modalities. This book serves to fill in that gap and provides physicians with information to speak intelligently and help guide their patients in the use of natural solutions with allopathic medicine. Highly recommended to any healthcare professional who desires to learn more about or integrate natural solutions into their practice. The lay public can also glean important information from this book.

This book is an incredibly comprehensive overlook of nutrition and integrative medicine. There are so few alternative texts like this out there. I commend the editor and the amazing contributors for their work. It's a must read for anyone interested in a deep dive into the topic.
