Book Recommendations

Whether you are here because you are a fan of deep diving into all subjects like me, or you are just trying to find out a little more on a specific topic, welcome! Below, you will find book recommendations for each facet of wellness I discuss, along with some other general recommendations.

As a note, the opinions in these books are those of the author and do not necessarily always reflect my own. I feel it is important to get a wide range of information and viewpoints. With that being said, I will not provide any recommendations for books in which I feel that the information provided is factually incorrect or that could be harmful. If there is something more specific you are looking for, let me know, and I will be happy to give additional recommendations! Check back often as I will be updating this page regularly!
