Breakthroughs in life and living.

Books by Selected Health Authors

The authors and books listed here are excellent sources of high-quality information. No single author has everything figured out. I’m not in any “camps” but rather I search wide and deep for valuable insights.

Listed here are some authors with dramatically conflicting ideas and conclusions, e.g., Vegan vs Carnivore diet. Some of them have notions that are well outside of mainstream medicine or nutrition. It is up to you to find the information that’s useful to you.
