As a Nutrition Therapist, I counsel patients with chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease, which require major lifestyle changes in order to treat the disease. Trying to establish the readiness to make the lifestyle behavior changes in the form of exercise and dietary changes can be very frustrating and challenging. Margaret’s book, How to Succeed Against All Odds, gets to the heart and soul of issues and factors that every patient faces while they are trying to make those long-term health behavior changes. She gives a personal testimony about her failures and successes in making those tough changes and ultimately, the health rewards.

I recommend her book to all my patients!
