This is a great book and course necessary for any provider who is considering making supportive supplementation recommendations using adaptogens.
Nancy “Paige” Currie, RDN, LD, Public Health Dietitian, Jackson, MS –
I previously had very limited knowledge on adaptogens and I feel I now have a good base to continue to build my knowledge and hopefully one day use in my practice.
Jacqui Pressly, RDN, Pittsburgh, PA –
The book was wonderful, and the author presented the information in a way that was understandable, interesting, and backed by solid research. I learned why and how an herb is classified as an adaptogen, and how they regulate certain internal processes, and how they help the body control the stress response. I learned the most important aspects of adaptogens, probable adaptogens, possible adaptogens, nervines, nootropics and restorative tonics. I learned about the history of herbs and the use of herbs in different cultures. I learned about the health benefits of adaptogens. I learned the reasons why some herbs don’t qualify as adaptogens. Overall, it was a great learning experience that gave me the incentive to look further into the subject to increase my knowledge in the field of herbs and natural medicine.
Michelle Goodrow, MS, RDN, Executive Director Food and Nutrition Services, Apple Valley, CA –
I felt the book was very informative and thorough. It provided insight to the many options available for individuals who may want to try natural options versus pharmaceuticals. I can help my patients understand that adaptogens can help improve their everyday life, improve the effectiveness of their current medications and may even help them decrease the medications they are taking. I love the quote by Rudolf Steiner: “For every human illness, somewhere in the world there exists a plant which is the cure.” I know how good adaptogens make me feel and I feel sharing this with my patients is crucial.
