I have purchase and read many many books, blogs, newletters, and listen to numerous podcasts in attempts to educate myself so that I can help myself and others.

First, below are the specific books that I’ve derived the recommendations from.

1. The Hormone Reset Diet
2. The Wahls Protocol
3. The Autoimmune Solution
4. The Adrenal Reset Diet
