Many individuals struggle to get their health into a good place. They may be plagued by insomnia, anxiety, brain fog, chronic pain, and more. There are many possible reasons for this, but you may not have found the answers you’re looking for through conventional medical science. Even worse, you may have found the answers, but the solutions might be ineffective. If so, you’re probably not enjoying your life very much.

This book promises some unconventional solutions if this sounds like something you’re going through. The author lists several “out of the box” ways that you can get to a better place with your health, both mentally and physically. Many of these methods are unusual or underutilized, but that doesn’t mean they don’t work. Anyone who is unsatisfied with the solutions their doctors or specialists have laid out for them can reap tremendous benefits by reading this book and investigating some of the techniques it proposes.

This book is a light at the end of the tunnel, it shares a lot of clearance in the health department. As someone who has struggled with low defences her whole life, this book has guided me to comprehend what are the real situations and stressors that can be changed to improve my holistic approach. This program takes the reader into a single path of taking action and caring for yourself, from food plans and tests that you can perform, being able to take action for yourself is the key of this reading. I also enjoyed the fact that Dr. Yu shares her personal struggles; it makes the reading feel more compelling. This is a great tool!

I loved this book, it offers a powerful and practical guide for individuals struggling with unexplained health issues such as fatigue, hormonal imbalances, and irritable bowel syndrome.
I'm suffering from hormonal issues and that's why this book was perfect for me because it empathizes with my frustrations from continuous unsuccessful medical consultations and provides a refreshing approach to tackling my health problem from their roots. I think it is amazing that the book presents eight transformative lessons that cover a wide range of crucial health aspects from understanding the importance of blood sugar and digestion, to exploring the roles of hormones and the microbiome.

A great guide about health.

This book should have a warning that says "do not diagnose yourself and always consult a doctor." That being said, I completely agree with the book. This book is a great source of useful and safe guidance in the midst of a lot of misinformation.
8 Out Of The Box Ways To Transform Your Health offers a complete and comprehensive perspective about health. Dr Maggie Yu, the author, talks from experience and knowledge, and has a refreshing point of view. I liked it because it is a way to understand and learn about our self health problems and how to modify them, and it is not a brief indication without explanation.
It is a very valuable book to responsible readers.

In a world where access to information is infinite and, often, overwhelming, the book "8 Out of the Box Ways to Transform Your Health" brought clarity and hope for me at the moment I was in, lost on the path to a healthier life. This book is not just a medical self-help manual; it is a deep exploration of how the interconnectedness of the body's systems impacts our overall health and well-being.
Personally, I have found this work very interesting. It establishes a common scenario of people trapped in a cycle of discomfort and confusion, searching for answers that seem out of reach. The author uses an approach based on both personal experience and his training.

the author knows what she is doing.

This book was really a light within the darkness I was in. I felt horrible for the longest time but never really knew why. After reading these pages. I am so at ease because I finally know what the root of all my problems was. I appreciate the clear structure. I knew what to expect more or less by reading the title of each chapter. My favorite one was the one about hormones and the one about the gut and digestion. Those were huge topics for me. I got to learn how health works and where it starts. Without the basics of health there will be no health. It really shows that the author knows what she is doing.

This book is like a magic potion for your well-being! This read is a true gem. Why? Well, because it takes you on a journey to total health you never imagined! The way Dr. Yu approaches health from unexpected angles is simply brilliant. I especially loved the section on how gaming can improve your well-being. Who would have thought that playing could be so beneficial? I highly recommend this book to everyone. It's easy to understand, packed with practical information, and will leave you with a renewed sense of confidence in your health. Definitely a must read!

This is a good guide about health and such a reminder that we shouldn't just find a quick-end-all solution, but actually understand the situation and figure out how to solve and move forward. Our health come in a variety of ways - we hear it in the news all the time. Doctors forget, and this provides a way to advocate for ourselves when no one can. We can ask those questions and push to see the different ways health problems can go. At the end of the day, bodies are weird and this book can help you understand that a bit better.
