Not much new information

Interesting lecture, well delivered, unfortunately it’s all very basic information. Reduce salt if you have hypertension, eat whole food, avoid sugar... I enjoyed the lecture but if I am being honest, I didn’t learn anything from it.

Comprehensive and entertaining lectures

Dr Guarneri's lectures give a comprehensive informative view of many different topics in integrative holistic medicine, including the most controversial ones which are rarely mentioned by other physicians. Her style is very entertaining and will keep your attention focused.

Great book

The book really made sense, especially the first part. It was just read to slowly and the examples were a bit too simple, like a book for kids

Worth a listen

I'm glad I listened to this! I've learned afew new things, remembered things I'd forgotten and was pleased to hear some of the research. Even though it seems like these lectures were given afew years ago, and some of the information is outdated, the knowledge is still sound even if the research isn't up to date. That, and talking about some substances in plastics which have been banned for afew years now.

Excellent

Concepts like strengthening the soil, nutritious diet, exercise, spirituality......are all explained in a way that appeals to us on an intellectual level as well as intuitive level. Prevention, really is the best intervention. And the chapter on environment was really an eye opener....very informative too. Dr Guarneri's audio performance is also quite engaging. Thanks for this wonderful course.
