Review:
"This is a tipping point book: it shows us how to get beyond sick care to doable healthy living." -- Bob Johansen, bestselling author of Get There Early and Leaders Make the Future
"This no-nonsense, evidence-based approach can transform lives by teaching people how to do what they know they should, but is so increasingly difficult to practice in the modern world." -- J. Nick Baird, M.D., CEO, Alliance to Make US Healthiest
"Dr. Traver doesn't just instruct readers on how to achieve happier, healthier lives, she provides compelling evidence for why her methods work." -- Dr. Mark Hyman, bestselling author of The UltraMind Solution and UltraMetabolism
"Dr. Traver's The Program is opening the next frontier of medicine with its smart, simple, and science-based approach to protecting your health." -- Bradley A. Perkins, M.D., executive vice president for strategy and innovation at Vanguard Health Systems
"I've seen our employees lose 40+ pounds, get off their blood pressure and diabetes medications, figure out their sleep problems, reduce stress, and more. The Program really works!" -- Dagan McLennan, RN, Wellness Center, Google
"Simply wonderful. Reading The Program somehow reminded me of reading Shakespeare. Each page is so laden with verities that a slow read is mandated. So, read slow and thrive." -- Walter M. Bortz II, M.D., bestselling author of Dare to Be 100 and We Live Too Short and Die Too Long
"Wow! What an undertaking! The Program provides just the right mix of what, why, and how for readers interested in improving their health and well-being." -- Cathy Heaney, Ph.D., Stanford Prevention and Research Center
