The Micronutrient Miracle: The 28-Day Plan to Lose Weight, Increase Your Energy, and Reverse Disease MP3 CD – Unabridged, September 29, 2015

Unlike "Jeannie" from the September 21 testimonial, I am not an author, nor blogger, nor a woman with a Masters Degree in Education. I am a soon-to-be 68 year old woman who got a Masters Degree in Business Administration many decades ago - before, I might add, women were actually "supposed to be in graduate school for business!" Don't hold the MBA against me, and don't hold the fact that the Caltons (hopefully) are making money from this adventure against them. I don't know them personally, but from my internet interaction with them over the past few months, I can tell you that "money" is NOT their driving force! They are the "real deal" and have been there for me and for all of the VIP members on this latest 28 day journey.I have purposefully not written a testimonial before now, despite my total irritation for some of those who did so previously in a negative manner. I wanted to experience the 28 day process before commenting on it, and as I sat down today to finally talk about my experience with this book, the authors, and this process, I read a testimonial from "Jeannie" that basically said 99% of all that I wanted to say. Before I put her words out there for you to read one more time, I will share a little of my own background and my personal experience with you.In 1992, I had bi-lateral mastectomies and breast reconstruction. Earlier this year, twenty-some years later, one of the implants ruptured and I underwent immediate surgery to remove both implants and the "silicone" from my body. I was not in great physical condition going into such sudden surgery, and the recovery was lengthy and arduous. Shortly thereafter, I got some blood-work done that indicated that I had a very serious autoimmune issue that could possibly be related to the "silicone." I heard about the Caltons' book, signed up for the program, and, although I have subsequently been cleared of any autoimmune issues, I have never felt better in my entire life.Every aspect of their book has been life altering. I have spent thousands of dollars over the last decades for the very best "highest of quality" supplements. Prior to the past 5-6 years, I have spent countless hours at the gym and at home doing every exercise know to man. I have followed every protocol for proper eating, etc., but I have never felt that it has all come together for me as it has with the Calton's approach. I have experienced the "body fat loss," the "resurgence of energy," the "amazing quality of sleep," etc. but words cannot describe how much more alive I feel. The Calton's have unlocked the key to health with their book and with their products. I will never be without my Nutreince, my SKINNYFat, or my IN.Power.Now, please reread the following testimonial from "Jeannie" - I don't know her, but I believe that no one could say it better!ByJeannie on September 21, 2015Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseAs an author, blogger, and woman with a Masters Degree in Education, I was very pleased and intrigued by the Caltons' latest book, The Micronutrient Miracle. It's interesting to consider how the hot topics in nutrition these days surround homemade bone broths and fermented foods, plus consuming clean foods and home/health care products, yet very few touch on the importance of supplementation or why most supplements are ineffective.Much of what Mira and Jayson Calton mention in this book I already knew from recent research on health and nutrition. Most of it I was already implementing in my own life, such as the organic, grass fed, pasture raised, gluten free, etc. diet. Yet I was still sluggish with a horrible headache, inflamed (which was evident in my face especially), in constant pain, and foggy in my thinking. This was just unacceptable with two girls who have special needs in our family, and I really wanted to understand more about what I could do naturally to take care of my body and improve my health, since I was recently diagnosed hypothyroid.I know some people find the Caltons' introduction of SKINNYFat, IN.POWER, and Nutreince to be somewhat of a gimmick. I would normally agree, but I found the Caltons to be genuine, sincere, and authentic. Yes, they promote their product, but they explain what to look for in a protein powder, healthy fats, and supplement. Their research is sound (and I know, because I did extensive research in grad school). This book wasn't just a platform for them to sell their products, but it truly is a guide to introduce people to the importance of diet, lifestyle, and nutritional choices that impact our lives for better or worse.I happen to want my choices to make my quality of life better, and I found The Micronutrient Miracle to be a friendly, user-friendly companion along my health journey. I love the food plans, especially the fact that they can be tweaked to fit specific health concerns. The menus make it such a breeze to shop each week, and they are organized beautifully. Most of all, the Caltons provide several FREE resources on their website, as well as V.I.P. access for a nominal fee. Of all the nutrition experts who are selling a product, service, or both, the Caltons make it so affordable to find abundant support through their Facebook community, daily inspirational and motivational videos, and their resource center.In some ways, The Micronutrient Miracle has made the Caltons more like friends who are ready to offer support and teach you how to make the most important changes in your life. The book itself was superbly written. (I am an editor and writer, so I always find syntax errors in manuscripts, but I found none in this book.) It also is a much-needed resource that you can refer back to when a refresher course is necessary (or you just want to be reminded of that fantastic broccoli cheese soup recipe)!For those who are sick and have tried everything, why not give this book - and the Caltons' products - a chance?

The Micronutrient Miracle: The 28-Day Plan to Lose Weight, Increase Your Energy, and Reduce Disease The Micronutrient Miracle is a thoroughly comprehensive, well-researched discussion - I would even call it a treatise - on what causes our nutrients to be depleted and how they can be repleted. I can remember a time when people taking vitamins and megavitamins were considered nut cases who probably had a cabin in Montana :-) and doctors insisted that all nutrition could be gotten from a "balanced diet." Fortunately, the doctors are coming around to recognizing the importance of supplements in maintaining a patient’s health.This guide takes it a step further. They go step by step in identifying the health depleters, the health repleters, and how to avoid the one and add the other. They have detailed information on nutrients, when you might or might not need them, how to get them in the form of food (including which foods must be cooked in order to get their nutritional value), and even when to take them in combination and when to take the supplements away from each other, like when they conflict.Then there is a food shopping guide that is the most comprehensive I've ever seen, including which vegetables are safe to buy non-organic and which should be bought organic, and good/better/best advice on buying groceries, because not everyone has access to the same foods. They even list brand names of certain foods that are known to be best for your health.In addition to the basic eating plan for optimal health, they have protocols for other health problems you might want to address - bone building, autoimmune problems, fat loss, and the ketogenic diet, to name a few - these detail what to do nutrition-wise to step up your game in dealing with these special issues. (I wish they had one for hair loss...LOL) The diets are not a strict, by any means. They are VERY flexible, with many, many choices from a list of good/better/best alternatives so that you can adjust it to your lifestyle.Then they have two kinds of exercises that are geared toward being quick, yet effective. One is a HIIT-type of exercise and the other is a guide to the quickest results from using weights, either in a gym or with home weights or even with jugs of water. Again, a quite detailed plan but individually adjustable.The Caltons do sell products to help with the meals - especially the meal replacements and the vitamin/mineral supplements. Their motivation is NOT to make a quick buck with a crappy product. You (make that "I") buy these because they are highest quality, well worth the price, and are made following the guidelines for best nutrition. They also give you recommendations on how to source your own. There is no pressure to only go with their's. So buy their high-quality products or don't buy - do or do not, as Yoda says - but whatever you do, follow their nutrition guidelines, because they have put a lot of thought and research into how obtain to maximum health for those of us not living the Garden of Eden but, instead, surrounded by junk food at every turn.Dieter, heal thyself! is the message of this book and it gives you the tools to do just that. Here's to optimal health...

For me, this book was disappointing - it doesn't really give much more info. than is already available on the internet. What was really disappointing though was the recipes - I expected nutrient dense recipes, but Shepherd's Pie, Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts, and Cauliflower Mash (using cream cheese) etc. - I'm pretty sure you can find most of the recipes in any runofthemill cookbook or freely available on the internet. Many recipes use their SKINNYFat products plus eggs and dairy - so if you're able to send for that wonderful! However, if you have a dairy intolerance then you're better off using a different book or following the many internet sites that make their healthy recipes freely available.

A great book , very informative but in a way thats understandable.

Fab book, bursting with info. Can dip in and out as well as complete read. Made me rethink life style.
