This is a timely release, when so may people are looking to support their immunity. The book give a holistic aspect to immune support, including nutrition, sleep and relaxation. Content is nicely laid out with some clear and achievable goals, combined with a nice "putting it all together" summary. While some of the content is a little questionable, (e.g "juice bathing"), it is mostly sound advice.

I read a well rounded amount of cookbooks, diet, plant based, and superfood books that I felt the author did a great job at handing you a regimen that could improve your overall health. She divided up foods that could help your health by giving you vitamins you need to fight off infection. Given that we used to get most of our vitamins straight from the soil and the need now to supplement those with a multivitamin.

What did I like? I enjoyed the overall look of the book and the information on what plants give us as far as vitamins. I’d also always wondered why chicken soup helps a cold. The subject matter in the book is very knowledgeable and I thought it did a great job on how to optimize your immune system. What a great read for a pandemic. I also like how it explained fat soluble versus water soluble as far as vitamins go. Interesting read for sure.

Would I recommend or buy? I recommend the mobi version over the pdf. It did not download in a great manner versus the kindle edition. I think I’d rather have a paper copy so I can put notes in the margins. The book is not to be read in place of consulting a doctor and all regimens should go through your doctor first. I still think it was very helpful and had some great information.

I received a copy to read and voluntarily left an review.

This was a good and informative book on how to improve your immune system. This was, in a way, quite a heavy read as it was a lot of text and information. Still, it was good.

A great overlook about what we should eat, written by a doctor. I knew most of it since I pretty much follow these rules already, but there were a few things I’ll add to my routine. I find this book to be essential reading for Westerners, because of obesity, diabetes, and all the other horrible things people have due to them eating junk food or other unhealthy foods.

The book is not preachy, but gives great advice to anyone interested in a healthier life. The least you can do is read and listen to a person who has dedicated several decades to studying and researching nutrition. Just try it out and see for yourself. All it takes it that first step!

“Optimize Your Immune System”—Marie Ruggles [5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️] This book was quite the informative read, especially nowadays where we definitely want that extra boost of our immune system to try and keep us healthy. The author provides us a roadmap with tips and tricks for a healthier diet, how to build a kitchen pharmacy with whole foods and super foods, and how to build a stable foundation for our health. This book provided a lot of helpful information to try and make us less prone to viral infections and how to be more resilient after an illness. I really like that she provided us many different resources throughout the book so that we can read up on some more of these topics after. I would definitely recommend checking this one out, I got a lot of good information from this book for sure 👍🏼 *Thank you to NetGalley for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!* 📚

I hope in the printed version there are visuals. People who read these types of books want visuals. I also found that in a rural community her ingredients would be non-existent or extremely expensive. I believe at this point people want easy, fresh and realistically priced alternatives to process foods.

Very informative book about foods that improves the immune system. it's easy to follow and organized. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

A wonderful book, containing a wide range of tips to improve the immune system. Highly recommended for its content, and also for the fact that it is easy to read. I would give it more than five stars if I was able to.
