“This book is written for anyone in health care with an interest beyond the basics of integrative and functional medicine. This includes students, residents, nurses, nurse practitioners, registered dietitians, physician assistants, and physicians. It is a great reference tool for the novice student, and a wonderful guide and resource for the practitioner to use in practice and reference when needed.” (Stephanne Proske, Doody's Book Reviews, June 26, 2020)
