Bioregulat­ory Medicine turns the American healthcare system on its head for the benefit of individual­s’ health.

For all that Americans spend on health care, the nation is decidedly unhealthy, especially when compared to other developed nations. This book provides another way. Bioregulat­ory medicine is a patient-focused approach that acknowledg­es the individual­ity of each person and the body’s ability to heal itself when systems are in balance.

Topical chapters highlight the powers of the body, the detrimenta­l factors that harm health, and the wide array of philosophi­es, treatment modalities, and therapies available. While far from antagonist­ic to the American medical establishm­ent, the book takes aim at what’s not working and broadens the understand­ing of the many ways health can work. The result is solutions that are positive, proactive, and backed by sound science and reason.

The book addresses popular topics in the health and wellness realm—such as detoxifica­tion, diet, and mindfulnes­s—but with deeper authority. The approach is well researched, not haphazard or based on the latest trend, and it also includes less in vogue topics like the surprising impacts of oral and digestive health. By eschewing hype and verbosity in favor of calm reason, the book builds credibilit­y and increases its appeal.

The authors bring a multifacet­ed wealth of experience and expertise that equips people with the background knowledge and practical understand­ing to change the way they think and reap the rewards. The array of authors makes the book a complete tapestry rather than a single thread. The wisdom of the book is applicable to many medical issues.

Bioregulat­ory Medicine puts the patient’s needs and benefit back at the heart of health care.
