Praise for The Enlightened Diet™

The Enlightened Diet helps you move from the failings of dieting hard to the bliss of dieting smart.”
Mehmet Oz, MD, author of You: The Owner’s Manual

“The Enlightened Diet is a profound relief. It’s not just about calories or exercise, and our bodies know this. Reading The Enlightened Diet gives you exactly what you need to make eating what it was meant to be: a joyful, delicious celebration of life, nurturing, and friendship.”
Christiane Northrup, MD, author of The Wisdom of Menopause and Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom

“The Enlightened Diet works because it is more than a diet. It is a groundbreaking approach that nourishes all of you—body, mind, and soul—each time you eat. If you are tired of repeated dietary failure, this book’s for you.”
Larry Dossey, MD, author of Healing Words

“In The Enlightened Diet, Deborah Kesten and Larry Scherwitz describe how their research on different eating styles plays a significant role in our ability to make and maintain a more healthy, conscious, and enjoyable way of eating.”
Dean Ornish, MD, author of Eat More, Weight Less

Praise From Coaching Clients

“I am writing to tell you about Dr. Larry Scherwitz, who has been my Cardiac Coach. He has been nothing short of extraordinary and has helped me make changes in my lifestyle that have actually reversed my coronary artery disease. He doesn’t simply use a cookie-cutter plan; rather, he listens to his clients and helps them come up with a plan that they can sustain. You can cross the globe and find very few people who do what Larry does. He is superb at what he does.”
Richard Dorsay, MD
Saratoga, California

“When I first met Larry, my doctors had just told me I was a `high risk’ candidate for a cardiac event. Larry played a big role in helping me make a series of lifestyle changes that improved and probably extended my life. After one year of Dr. Scherwitz’ lifestyle guidance, my stress test and a follow-up PET Scan was normal, which caused my wife and me to conclude Dr. Scherwitz’ program had resulted in reversing my heart disease.

I would highly recommend Larry Scherwitz as a Health and Healing Guide. He is extremely knowledgeable/ experienced and he is thoughtful, determined and results oriented.”
Art Ciocca
San Francisco, California

“After being diagnosed with severe blockage…and given no option other than bypass, I opted instead to follow the (Dean Ornish, MD) program about reversing heart disease without drugs or surgery. To complement (Dr. Ornish’s) teachings, I sought practical guidance through Dr. Scherwitz’ coaching program. I find that the more I adhere to (the program), the quality of my life is improved."
Herman Rodriguez
