Hello, and welcome to a journey of self-exploration and healing. I am happy to be your guide. My name is Marie, and I am passionate about health. I find it unbearable that so many of us are unwell because of the way we live. I see this as a genuine threat to the future of society. Thats why I did extensive research to come up with guidance for myself and my family.
I wrote this book to share with you what I learned so you can find your own path to health. With the right tools, we all have the power to be healthier and protect ourselves from frightening diseases. I hope this book will be your trigger to change. Together, we can create a healthier society.
As stated in the disclaimer, I am not a health professional. I am a scientist by training, with a background in physics and math. I worked in engineering, marketing, and corporate management for over 20 years. Five years ago, I made a career transition to work as a free-lance scientific journalist and writer. I write about science, health, and education.
I have been obsessively studying health for the last four years. This includes taking a range of courses in nutrition, biochemistry, neuroscience, and behavioral science. I also went back to the science journals and did a comprehensive review of hundreds of studies on human nutrition, endocrinology, physiology, and neurobiology.
This book encapsulates my learning and experience. I tried to bring it to you in a clear and practical way. I hope you will judge my efforts kindly.

Are You Ready to Handle the Truth?
The rise of chronic noncommunicable diseases presents public health with an enormous challenge. For some countries, it is no exaggeration to describe the situation as an impending disaster. I mean a disaster for health, for society, and most of all for national economies.
Dr. Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organization, 27 April 2011
Above all, dont lie to yourself.
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
The following introduction will not help you. I wish health statistics were enough to give everyone plenty of motivation to get healthier. In an ideal world, I would show you the facts, point you in the right direction, and congratulate myself on a job well done. Unfortunately, our brains do not work that way.
