paradigm brought Milan a fountain of youth and
Dr. Stoll fulfillment in his lifes mission.

Scientifically reliable
also very personal

Dr. Scott Stoll cares about his patients health
as sincerely as anyone I know. The story contained
in these pages will show you why. Not only is the
information in this book scientifically reliable,
but it is also very personal. One patient documents
how seven days of simply eating the right foods and
listening to Dr. Stolls message changed his life
forever. This is not about hype or marketing;
its about solving health problems.

Empowering

Nutrientrich food is the most powerful medicine.
Thousands die needlessly each day of illnesses
resulting from nutritional ignorance and food
addiction. Dr. Stoll is a physician fighting to give
you back control of your life and health. He doesnt
just tell you to eat right; he shows you how to do
it, how to make it work, and how to make it stick.
The Change is not only a fun read but also an
empowering agent of change.

Joel Fuhrman, MD
New York Times Best-selling Author
President, Nutritional Research Foundation

Powerful and positive

The Change isnt just another weight-loss book.
Its the true story of how Milan Ross, who once
weighed over five hundred pounds, was able
to take back control of his life with the help of a unique
seven-day immersion program. The underlying
principles of Dr. Scott Stolls method can empower
each of us to achieve lasting health and well-being.
Beautifully written and utterly compelling, the
anecdotes and advice offered in this book can lead
to powerful and positive changes for any reader.

Powerful .
Highly recommended

Dr. Scott Stoll is emerging as one of the leading
voices in describing the extraordinary health
benefits of lifestyle medicine in preventing and
even reversing the most common chronic
diseases. In this powerful book, he describes
why and how. Highly recommended.

Compelling information

We all need motivation and mechanisms to
change. We need to be prevent-driven, not event
driven. In The Change, Dr. Scott Stoll brings together
compelling information that can stimulate change
before dangerous health events occur, while also
showing us how to transform our lives after certain
health conditions have taken hold. I look forward
to seeing the impact this book has on its readers,
and, in turn, the impact its readers have on their
families, friends, and our entire culture.

Unique insights

The Change provides the reader with unique
insights into the mindsets of teacher and student
during a transformative one-week health immersion.
This successful shared experience can powerfully
guide anyone seeking a healthy lifestyle.

Milan

Thank you, Iris, my amazing wife, for inspiring every aspect of my life. Without your unconditional love and support, none of this would have been possible. You are my best friend, my cheerleader, and my rock. Thank you, Nigel, my wonderful son, for all the lessons you continue to teach me. I promise, we will be back at the Harry Potter ride soon, and this time I will fit in the seat. Thank you, Shalonda, Ebony, Neesa, and Georgia. I am so lucky to call you all my daughters. I love each of you more than words could ever convey.
