The future of medicine is in personal responsibility
I preordered this book not knowing that my son would spend a month training with the Cleveland Clinic center for functional medicine. I love the offer of the free consultation and I will pursue the training to be a coach.
I believe this is the future of medicine, of health, of disease prevention and attenuation. Thank you for this most excellent book. I'll be spending a lot of time with this information.

This book describes the principles of Functional Medicine, many examples of people whose lives have been dramatically changed by diet and lifestyle changes, and the emerging role of Health Coaches to support a patient-centered, holisitic approach to healing.
From the Introduction, "Functional Medicine directly addresses the restoration of health by looking for common factors among various symptoms and diagnoses that can be improved (all the way down to the cellular level) through diet and lifestyle intervention."
"Functional Medicine health coaches blend the science-based principles of positive psychology and Functional Medicine with the art of coaching to help people create well-being."
"The guiding principle is that if we can change our environment and our behavior, we can change the way our genes perform."
"The use of drugs or surgery does not disappear, but lifestyle interventions assume a primary role where appropriate.... Personalized, preventative, and participatory are the hallmarks..."

A Must Read For Anyone Considering Being A Health Coach
I have been a nurse for over 40 years. I have become frustrated with medicine as it is today and I am looking for a way to be of more help to people who desire better health. This book has opened my eyes and given me a path to do just that.

The coaching philosophy described in this book is refreshing and empowering. I am looking forward to being a part of a movement that inspires people to take a holistic view of their health not just take a pill. Thank you for creating such a program!
