Praise for The Whole Body Solution
Although we have had great explorations into space, very few know the wonders of the human body. Nine magnificent systems with their supporting cast allow you to breathe, think, move and participate as a human in this universe of endless possibilities.
Max Tuck brings you into this world in a way that has never been done before. I strongly advise you to strap in and enjoy the ride.

Beautifully clear and concise, Max has tackled this enormous subject scientifically but without jargon. As I read each sentence, I could hear Max presenting it all as one of her excellent, humorous, illustrated lectures. As an extremely busy small-animal veterinary surgeon, an athlete and a most knowledgeable nutritionist, Max absolutely walks her talk. Everything she says in her books and presentations, she does! She is the busiest, most energetic person I know, with a fantastic figure, amazing skin and the most beautiful hair I have ever seen and she is 100% fuelled by raw vegan food. If you want even a fraction of what she has, read and digest this wonderful book and follow her recommendations to the letter!

Every time I talk to Max, even in a social environment, I learn something new because she has a special knack in bringing science to our everyday experiences in a very practical way. Now she has composed her third book to educate us further in understanding how the various systems work in our body. Of course, I can praise her depth of knowledge , but what particularly stands out from Maxs works is the beauty of her written word. Indeed, Maxs wit and eloquent explanations make this book an utter joy to read and you get educated as an extra bonus! This marriage between easy, beautiful prose and science results in the perfect choice for both seekers of advanced information and beginners who look for entertainment with interesting facts they can apply to their health path. The only question remains: what will you delight us with next, Max?

Max Tuck, aka The Raw Food Scientist
I trained in veterinary medicine and come to all health issues, both human and animal, with a rigorously scientific approach. Now a Hippocrates Institute-trained health educator as well as a practising vet, I was originally prompted to investigate the importance of nutrition to health by my own collapse with chronic fatigue and Epstein Barr virus more than 20 years ago. Since my miraculous recovery I have run marathons, competed in triathlons and gained my black belt in karate, in addition to managing my punishing dual-role work schedule.
