America takes 75% of the world's medications and seven out of ten people still die of chronic and preventable diseases. The healthcare system meant to remedy this problem is now the third leading cause of death itself. This exists because we often ignore our health or assume we are healthy until disease hits. Then once disease hits we manage the sickness with drugs and surgeries. That's not health care, that's sick care. This book is a guide to experiencing real health. If you manage sickness and disease you get sickness and disease, if you build health you get health.
"The two main sources of toxicity in today’s world are food and lack of movement. So, the two main goals are to fix your fitness and to fix your food," shares Dr. Livingood." This book will swiftly and successfully help you to gain control of your health and be more #grateful in your life.
