About the author
Mark Hyman
339 books1,037 followersMark Hyman, MD, believes that we all deserve a life of vitality--and that we have the potential to create it for ourselves. That's why he is dedicated to tackling the root causes of chronic disease by harnessing the power of Functional Medicine to transform healthcare. Dr. Hyman and his team work every day to empower people, organizations, and communities to heal their bodies and minds, and improve our social and economic resilience.
Dr. Hyman is a practicing family physician, an eleven-time New York Times bestselling author, and an internationally recognized leader, speaker, educator, and advocate in his field. He is the Director of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine. He is also the founder and medical director of The UltraWellness Center, chairman of the board of the Institute for Functional Medicine, a medical editor of The Huffington Post, and was a regular medical contributor on many television shows including CBS This Morning, Today Show, CNN, and The View, Katie, and The Dr. Oz Show.
Dr. Hyman works with individuals and organizations, as well as policymakers and influencers. He has testified before both the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine and the Senate Working Group on Health Care Reform on Functional Medicine. He has consulted with the Surgeon General on diabetes prevention and participated in the 2009 White House Forum on Prevention and Wellness. Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa nominated Dr. Hyman for the President's Advisory Group on Prevention, Health Promotion, and Integrative and Public Health. In addition, Dr. Hyman has worked with President Clinton, presenting at the Clinton Foundation's Health Matters, Achieving Wellness in Every Generation conference, and the Clinton Global Initiative, as well as with the World Economic Forum on global health issues. He is the winner of the Linus Pauling Award, The Nantucket Project Award, and was inducted in the Books for Better Life Hall of Fame.
Dr. Hyman also works with fellow leaders in his field to help people and communities thrive--with Rick Warren, Dr. Mehmet Oz, and Dr. Daniel Amen, he created The Daniel Plan, a faith-based initiative that helped The Saddleback Church collectively lose 250,000 pounds. He is as an advisor and guest co-host on The Dr. Oz Show and is on the board of Dr. Oz's HealthCorps, which tackles the obesity epidemic by educating American students about nutrition. With Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. Michael Roizen, Dr. Hyman crafted and helped introduce the Take Back Your Health Act of 2009 to the United States Senate to provide for reimbursement of lifestyle treatment of chronic disease. And, with Tim Ryan in 2015, helped introduce the ENRICH Act into Congress to fund nutrition in medical education. Dr. Hyman plays a substantial role in a major film produced by Laurie David and Katie Couric, released in 2014, called Fed Up, which addresses childhood obesity.

Many good options, though most recipes involve ingredients i would have to get at a specialty market, either Asian or Indian in many cases. Recipes also call for vegetables that my local grocery does not carry. i understand he suggests you use local markets, but they would not have these options either. however, many of the recipes i look forward to using to improve my family's health and broaden their culinary horizons.

I went through almost every recipe in the book and now I'm going through it again. Definitely helps detox.

Good intro basically summarizing the original book. Then recipes. Lacks info on transitioning beyond 10 days & adding grains.

The concept is great. The intro and plan put forth is good. The ingredients in the recipes look like they are tasty (no recipes calling how to cook rice).
So, why 3 stars? Ingredients. Without living in a major metropolitan area, I would have to travel over an hour one-way to get many of the ingredients. I went through several recipes ingredients list before I found one that I know I could get the ingredients without driving that two-hour round trip. Some, even then, I am unsure if I would find. Some I have never even heard of. Not everyone has the time to make that effort, or the budget of an MD to afford them.
Recipe 1, 6 needs chia seeds
2, 4, 5 unsweetened hemp
3 acai puree (not even sure what that is)
7, 8, 9 FRESH spices (pretty sure I could use dried), heck we don't even have fresh parsley in my stores so I am not going to get fresh mint, dill, basil, chervil, etc. much less tamari, tahini, bok choy or Radicchios, or even lamb.
While the photos are excellent and make me drool, there is a limited set of photos and certainly not every dish is depicted.
That being said, I did find a few recipes that I will likely add to my meal plan... perhaps replacing the coconut aminos with soy (I can use the internet to find replacements, albeit ones not on the detox plan). And perhaps I will use the book as reference to search for images and alternate recipes with ingredients that I can find locally.

So many amazing recipes that are filling.
So strange for me not to have a starch on my plate, but he made it work and taste great! A food processor or something like it is a must for most of his recipes. Also, each recipe makes Alot so I cut some in half.

$100 at the grocery store was enough to get me one breakfast option, one lunch option, one snack option, and one dinner option for the week. The first sip of the first smoothie told me this was going to be awful. Six hours later, the biggest headache of my life almost floored me. I haven't been able to concentrate at work, or run at the gym after work due to extreme low blood sugar and weak feeling muscles. Not continuing next week! And that feels great.
One the plus side, though, this introduced some new foods into my routine that I think I'll keep. I kinda got used to the smoothie by the end of the week, and I enjoyed a big salad for lunches at work vs. my usual frozen Amy's. I also enjoyed filling out the large self-assessment of how I'm feeling body & mind at the beginning of the book.

not impressive - he's repetitive and the book wasn't very helpful

Excellent, practical advice. Not your typical diet and cookbook. The recipes are simple and look delicious. I like that Hyman goes beyond the ten days of the detox to explain how to cope with the changes in the future. And Hyman doesn't make it easy. It's a life change that will be hard, difficult, but it'll be worth it in the end.

A little too strict for me! But lots of good looking recipes I plan to try.

Excellent breakdown of kitchen gear you will need to have as well as food staples that are needed for the pantry. The recipes are actually wonderful and fun to prepare. Find a few you like, and build from there. The in-depth discussion is good, but its the 'how-to' that makes this book a game-changer.
