My rating: 5 of 5 stars

‘I refuse to think of them as chin hairs. I think of them as stray eyebrows.’ - Janette Barber...

Shlomit Karni’s “Razor Free” is a mind-body method of natural hair removal using a holistic approach that incorporates both mental and physical practices. It is based on the belief that hair growth is affected by both the body and mind, and that the two must work together to achieve optimal results. This mind-body approach to permanent hair reduction or growth is certainly a gentler alternative approach to conventional hair removal and growth methods. The author maintains that making an initial investment of time and energy pays off in the long run.

Five stars for a fun and interesting read. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

You Gut This: The Complete, Holistic Method for Treating Digestive Disorders Including IBS, Colitis, Acid Reflux, Crohn’s Disease, and More

You Gut This: The Complete, Holistic Method for Treating Digestive Disorders Including IBS, Colitis, Acid Reflux, Crohn’s Disease, and MoreYou Gut This: The Complete, Holistic Method for Treating Digestive Disorders Including IBS, Colitis, Acid Reflux, Crohn’s Disease, and More by Adi Zusman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A groundbreaking combination of Western and integrative medicine...

Adi Zusman RD, B.Sc., MBA is a therapist, speaker, health coach, and educator. She emigrated to Israel at the age of 14 after being born in Moscow to two medical scientists. She became a clinical dietician after treating her own digestive ailments and turning the healing process into a vocation. She received her bachelor's degree from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, studied Chinese medicine, and specialized in health coaching and emotional eating disorders. She now leads the cutting-edge discipline of Integrative Gastroenterology, which combines modern medicine with dietary traditions and mind-body healing. She founded a course for dietary professionals, which created the foundation for her pioneering book, "You Gut This."

From my own experience, I know that digestive disorders can be debilitating and greatly impact a person's quality of life. While conventional treatments such as medications and surgeries can be effective, holistic methods can also be used to treat digestive disorders. Adi Zusman’s “You Gut This” (great title by the way!) offers holistic approaches in this excellent guide that may be helpful.

While it’s important to note that not all holistic approaches will work for everyone, and the importance of working with a healthcare provider to develop an individualized treatment plan, incorporating these holistic methods into a treatment plan can help to improve symptoms and overall quality of life for those with digestive disorders. I’m looking forward to exploring this book in more detail. Highly recommended and a well-deserved five stars from me. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
