An Expert Makes Complex Medical Issues Understandable and Accessible
A must-have resource for pursuing wellness, coping with illness, and developing a plan to care for all the health needs of life
At no time in history has America been more health-conscious and more aware of the significant relationship between the health of the body and the wellness of the mind and soul. The media and the Internet provide an overwhelming amount of often-contradictory information from professionals and amateurs alike, causing confusion and frustration. Whose expertise and advice can be trusted?
Both personal belief and empirical research support Dr. Walt Larimore’s approach to caring for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. He brings inspiring passion, trustworthy expertise, and joyful faith to the health care discussion.

10 Essentials of Highly Healthy People,
By Dr Peter Nieman (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 10 Essentials of Highly Healthy People (Hardcover)
Dr Larimore captures , with precise and articulte words, the idea that wellness encompasses an integration of both the physical and the mental/spiritual dimensions of our daily existence. The book is well researched. References and web based links are set out logically for further study. The book is medically reliable----as a pediatrcian for the past two decades and also as a wroiter myself, I was impressed by both the style and content of this well-written book.Spirituality features prominently in this book. But as is the case with the classic timeless book "The Power of Positive Thinking"by the late Dr Norman Vincent Peale, the faith language is crafted in a non-offensive manner. Even a passionate atheist will be challenged in a kind way, to consider the benefits of faith and spirituality when it comes to balancing one's life, by being proactive in preventing disease, lightening one's load, avoiding loneliness, and nurturing hopes and dreams. This book will find its place, not in the bookshelve of my private library, but in a more accessable and prominent spot on my desk. I am looking forward to referencing it in my own writing and will , without hesitation, highly recommend it to both patients in my clinic and coleagues at work. As the title suggests, the 10 essentials are indeed essential to optimal wellness. Dr Larimore has successfully convinced me that the four wheels of health are to in perfect balance; he has also provided the reader with the specifics of how to achieve that balance. This book will contribute to a healthier lifestyle and inner peace and fullfillment. I was unable to put it down during a transcontinental flight!
