Hale Sofia Schatz

If Jesus, the Goddess, Buddha, or Mohammed were coming to your house for dinner, you wouldn't give them garbage. So why don't we treat our own bodies with respect? This provocative logic is the cornerstone of Schatz's guide to nutrition and wellness. In a departure from conventional advice, Schatz suggests that a good relationship with food should begin with a close examination of one's emotional and spiritual nourishment patterns. Probing questions, asked with compassion and care, are peppered throughout the text, giving readers open to suggestion another way to look at their concerns about true nourishment and optimal wellness. Although no consumer health guide should substitute for the advice of one's own physician, Schatz's book is intriguing reading for people searching for a different way to look at the food they eat, and open to spiritual advice about changing their eating habits. Recommended for consumers and medical professionals who have found works by Andrew Weil and Deepak Chopra helpful in their healthcare choices or practice.
