Praise for The Fatigue Solution
The Fatigue Solution is Max Tucks extraordinary contribution to those suffering a less than vital life. Her far-reaching depth of knowledge and exceptional experience allow her to speak from the heart and the head with total balance. What I love about this literary journey is the personalization when woven together with scientific fact presents an unchallengeable pathway to success. As a veterinary surgeon, she is not shy to dive deep into the essence of what makes us creatures tick. Combined with the emotional mountains that must be conquered before healing can occur, we should each take heed and recognize the awesome necessity of comprehensive healing.
Maxs keen mind is able to scan the scientific literature and apply it in a practical and effective way. Her objective is simplicity and the result is extraordinary. In our high-speed, low fulfillment world, the majority feel out of fuel. This is not a natural state that was endured by our forebears. Changing the direction of your existence and applying the tools of positive thought and pure food will enable you to relinquish the exhaustion that plagues modern humanity. Ms. Tuck is a perfect example of a vibrant, connected woman with the energy of someone decades younger. Her hobbies are generally considered feats by the average person; she enjoys them with no compromise. For the decades that I have had the privilege to know Max, I have always respected her straightforward approach that gets right to the point and allows the recipient to fully understand her suggestions. Thank you for writing The Fatigue Solution which I am sure will help endless people in their quest to gain health and happiness.

We all lead busy lives, and sometimes forget to look after ourselves the way we should. Having met Max and attended some of her meetings on nutrition, I have become more aware of the nutrients my body needs to function healthily and efficiently. As an international sportsman I put my body through a lot of physical and mental stress, and if its not managed well, can sometimes lead to loss of form and depression. In the real world we dont necessarily have fitness coaches, nutritionists and psychologists on hand to point us in the right direction, no-one to manage us but ourselves. Max Tuck takes us through a journey of discovery, highlighting what can happen if we dont listen to our bodies, and how to overcome and recover from the lowest points to the highest peaks. This book is inspirational, and a must as we journey through life.

As an entrepreneur and self-confessed livewire Ive always strived to do more, achieve more and be more, and in doing so, created my own supercharged hamster wheel. This hamster-wheel lifestyle meant that I wasnt fuelling my body correctly or taking enough time to rest and recharge. As a consequence, the wheel came off its tracks, crashing spectacularly in 2015 when I was suddenly and dramatically taken ill and diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and a grim prognosis. After 12 months enduring one of the most toxic allopathic treatments there is, combining chemotherapy, full body radiotherapy and a stem cell transplant, I was ready to begin my healing journey.
Though nutrition and wellness had always been important to me, my supercharged lifestyle had meant that they were always the things that would slide during the really hectic times. Whilst undergoing treatment I did a lot of research and tried many different nutrition plans and wellness tools as I was determined that these would be the things that would truly aid my recovery. It was during this time I bumped into Max Tuck a real stroke of luck.
Max is someone who combines expert scientific knowledge with practical implementation and advice. Her books and personal guidance helped me massively in broadening my knowledge and channelling her guidance into my own healing power.
