More Health, Less Care: How to Take Charge of Your Medical Care and Write Your Own Personal Prescription for Lifelong Health

by Peter J. Weiss MD

Tackling the problems plaguing the U.S. health-care system, this accessible guide explores the pitfalls of contemporary medicine and medical treatments, concentrating on diseases linked to poor lifestyle choices, such as obesity and diabetes. While much of the health-care industry is centered on a blanket approach that addresses a general disease instead of the person affected by it, this guide suggests that personalization is the key to good health. It asserts that patients who make physical, emotional, and spiritual lifestyle changes to improve their diets, exercise regimens, and stress levels can help alleviate problems caused by lifestyle illnesses.

This book was actually handed to me by the author himself. He was a very nice man and he signed the book for me. Reading this book inspired me to live a healthier life. It is an easy read because it is short and down to the point on why the author is trying to convey to the reader. He breaks down how to diet and exercise so the extremely lazy can get in to a better lifestyle. I really think this book could help people get on the right track to healthy living.

We can't depend on those doctors to fix us; we need to take responsibility for our health. Well written, and has some good motivation for trying to do what we know we need to do...
