I am a huge fan of the Mercola.com website. Dr Mercola sends me his newsletter twice a week,and I read every article avidly,cross referencing all over the place. Certainly in the UK, his well researched and validated advice poo poos the majority of so called informed opinion and advice we receive from our medical doctors and the from government bodies such as the food standards agency.
I have spent a lot of time reading through many of the 30000+ pages on the site, and as as a result learnt little that was new from buying the book. Two thirds of it is recipes,which I find dull,dull,dull. I just want to know what I should or should not eat. In the absence of access to the 'net,the book helps somewhat. I felt it painfully thin on delivery in terms of extra metabolic typing info I was expecting over and above what is already on his EXCELLENT site.
I have not actualy implemented and lived the Total Health plan yet, so cannot with fairness assess the effectiveness.
Dr Mercola suggests implementng the lifestyle and diet changes incrementally.Too much change can be difficult in one go. I now have much to think about in terms of applying the knowledge incrementally, though my 'lysteria' is now longer! I will need the extra years of my life to pay for the incredibly expensive and often obscure foods that are endorsed.
Information is paramount,and Dr Mercola gets a huge thumbs up from me for helping people know more about important issues. It is up to them what they do with it. I wanted to give him some money,so I bought the book.
Subscibe to the newsletter on the his site.

Well this book was the perfect companion for me. I have been utilising the paleolithic diet for over 18 months now and I like the way Mercola tweaks it a little to be more specific to different individuals without going into crazy details. Basically there are 3 metabolic types and after answering the questionairre in the book you have a pretty good idea what type you are - or you can do the online more complete one on his website for only $US30 - he has based this all on another mans work Wolcott "The Metabolic typing Diet" which has the extended questionairre in it as well - Wolcotts work is just that little bit more complicated than I like. I like to KISS - Keep it simple stupid.
So, after getting rather bored with my standard salad with chicken, or chicken with salad, or fish with vegetables, and vegetables with fish, this book is a very welcome friend. It has 150 recipes - so I don't really understand what the other reviewer is talking about - you could eat for 2 weeks and not have the same thing twice. The recipes are simple, tasty and easy and also have tips on how to modify the recipe for your metabolic type.
The start of the book is a nice summary of the whole process on how to live well, and includes great information on how to maximise your health journey with the least amount of pain possible.
All in all, this book is definately worth the money if you are interested in getting and staying well. I have never felt better from eating this way. But remember this is just your nutritional balance, there is also the physical and emotional components that need to be in balance also for you to be experiencing true health and happiness. Mercolas website is full of great info.

I agree with the other reviewer - I got this via my husband's knowledge of Dr M's website, and agree that the recipes are not the most exciting. I'd struggle to fill a week with his ideas. For goodness sakes, we know what we need to do, exercise and eat smaller quantities of a balanced (fruit, veg, etc) diet. As for cooking with coconut oil..... how many days is this going to add to my life? Save your money and buy some organic veg instead, but do visit the website. And get out and walk.
