Getting Healthy from the Inside Out

“This book is written in a format that guides the reader through a deep journey into understanding the fundamentals of health. It includes real life examples that are both eye opening and inspiring. I didn't know what to expect when I started the book, at the end, it left me asking myself, "how am I viewing my health and wellness?". Unlike the "quick fixes" of today that feed on immediate results for money, tying together perception, faith and biology you understand why we don't do what we ought and do what we shouldn't. People lived longer thousands of years ago without the current technology, pharmacology, and food additives and preservatives. The "blue zones" of today are not just about the food (although a huge part of it), but also community and movement. If you want to deep dive into how to live more fully in this modern age, this is a definite read. A truly inspired work.”

“One day as I was about to go to my Pilates session at Hotworx, Mike asked me how was doing…and well, I started to cry, and from there he shared his journey that led to me reading his book. The first thing he said was, "change your thoughts". I was like, yeah, yeah, I've tried for 20 years. This book is small but mighty, packed with the start up guide to healing from the inside out. He has researched the world of neuroscience. How thoughts shape and can change our body chemistry, which in turn cascades to health or sickness. It's our choice and this book breaks down the how and why. It makes sense, it is packed with vital information from the world's top experts. Mike has done the hard work and this mighty book encourages you to do the right thing!!!! This book is for everyone and anyone who has a brain that worries, overthinks, fears, rationalizes people pleases, and most of all wants a better life. I've always believed anger, fear, depression, anxiety is our body trying to tell us something, and if we don't address it, then our body will. This book has been good medicine for my soul!! My healing journey has begun, and this book shows you why and how.”

“I picked this up thinking it would be another typical health book. It's not. This book flips the conversation from "what you should do" to how you're thinking while you're doing it — and that hit. Hard. What I liked most is that the author clearly walks the walk. This isn't theory. It's lived, and you can feel that in how it's written. A lot of it actually aligned with things I've seen in my own life, especially around mindset, discipline, and how much your internal state drives your outcomes. The biggest takeaway for me: it's not just what's happening to you… it's what you believe about it. And if you're not careful, situations, stress, or even a diagnosis can quietly become identity — and once that happens, everything starts reinforcing it. This book doesn't replace science or medicine. It just adds the piece most people are missing: you're not passive in this — you're participating in it. Favorite Quote: "The body follows the story you repeat most." Overall: Not a quick fix. Not surface-level. Just a really solid reminder that how you think is driving more than you realize. And honestly… I love it.”

“A well-written, well-researched, and multilayered book that makes a compelling argument, backed up by considerable evidence. It's also easy to digest and very readable. One thing that appealed to me was that his advocacy did not discount the value of science; rather, he argues science is a worthy and valuable augmentation to the mind-body-soul network that has such transformative power over our health. It's both a call to action and a catalyst for deep thinking. Kudos to the author.”
