THE PALEO CARDIOLOGIST

I credit Dr. Wolfson for getting me back in the game. Other doctors counted me out, but Dr. Wolfson put together a natural plan to restore my heart health.

The Paleo Cardiologist provides the informed, health conscious reader the tools he or she needs to naturally reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease and promote their overall health. The information contained in this book will not be provided to you by the vast majority of physicians. This is because nutrition and supplements are not taught in medical schools in any meaningful way. Most physicians are not up to date on the most recent research on supplements and prevention of cardiovascular disease. Dr. Wolfson is one of those rare pioneers who is willing to share with you what most physicians will not. The evidence based information in this book is on the cutting edge of natural options for treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease. The Paleo Cardiologist offers a fresh perspective and should be read by all people looking to get to the root cause of disease and prevention and treatment without pharmaceuticals agents.

Mark Gordon, MD, FACC, Cardiologist. Diplomat of the American Academy of Anti-aging Medicine.

Dr. Wolfson has hit the nail on the head. Lifestyle medicine is our most powerful intervention and is the key to optimal health. He can help you turn that key and open the door to optimal vitality. Let him help you get back your life. I know that if you will let Dr Wolfson help you restore your health you will be forever grateful.

Trent G. Orfanos, MD, FACC, Cardiologist. Board certified, internal medicine, cardiovascular diseases, integrative medicine, functional medicine, integrative holistic medicine and anti-aging medicine. Assistant clinical professor of medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine.

The son of a top cardiologist follows his fathers footstep and after years of practice awakens to the art and science of wellness. Dr. Jack Wolfson not only has a deep understanding of the self-healing power of the body, but is able to integrate all of his knowledge into a model of wellness that is powerful and can help people dramatically improve quality of life.

Keith Smigiel, DC

Most books for me are a skim through and a space holder on my shelf, but this one will remain by my side, yellowed from highlighter, and a spine stressed from photocopies for my patients. Dr. Wolfson is a colleague to all practitioners who wish to do the best for their patients, regardless of who may be offended.

Decker Weiss, NMD, FASA, FFCC

I have had the privilege of working with Dr Jack Wolfson in the area of critical care medicine. Like myself, Dr. Wolfsons passion for science and healing has caused an evolution. I look to Dr Wolfson as a leader in the field of Integrative Cardiology and much more. Dr Wolfson has been leading his patients to this wisdom for some time. The world and the environment need such a man of great integrity. This Doctor is standing by his convictions to bring you his knowledge in this must read book. He takes a very personal approach to deliver life changing information that is easy to follow.

Heidi Cunningham, RN, Critical Care Nurse

This excellent integrative cardiovascular book will change your perspective, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of heart disease. All the ingredients for reducing heart problems are simply and scientifically discussed in this book. I highly recommend it for you, your family and friends.

Mark C. Houston, MD, MS, MSC, ABAARM, FACP, FAHA, FASH, FACN, FAARM. Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. Author of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Hypertension and What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Heart Disease

Jack Wolfson is the cardiologist you want in your corner. His take on cholesterol, grass-fed meat, sugar, nitrates, saturated fat, statin drugs and just about everything else he talks about in The Paleo Cardiologist is right on the money. Highly recommended!

Jonny Bowden, PhD, CNS, author of The Great Cholesterol Myth (with Steven Sinatra, MD) and Smart Fat (with Steven Masley, MD)

The Paleo Cardiologist is a must read book, uniquely for those willing to accept the truth and responsibility for their own health. It provides a ray of hope, a hand in guidance and the wisdom of a Physician that changes lives. Einstein said, Nothing happens unless something moves. This book will move you.

Michael J. Robb, AAS, BA, DC

Dr. Wolfson is truly an inspiration; a courageous and knowledgeable role model to people of all ages who are looking to change the world, even if it is one small truth at a time.

Victoria Broussard, RN, BSN
