"“A delightfully thoughtful and well-researched faith-centered book that will benefit anyone wanting to turn their life around and get healthy! And getting healthy is the prime directive in a time when public health authorities and medical regulators have demonstrated failure after failure in their approach. Positive, easy to read, and deeply informed. Sure to become a helpful, healthful favorite go-to resource for many!”— Rick Kirschner, ND, VNMI, bestselling author, speaker, and filmmaker “In How to Be a Healthy Human, Emma Tekstra exposes exactly what’s wrong with modern medicine, from doctors being taught next to nothing about nutrition to their seemingly sweeping trust in and reliance on Big Pharma. Touching on nearly every aspect of our existence that impacts our health, from technology to spirituality and everything in between, Tekstra deftly weaves information and insight into a hopeful, helpful, actionable, and wonderfully readable guide. Equal parts comprehensive and compelling, this book deserves a spot on any wellness bookshelf and should be required reading for all traditionally trained medical professionals.”—Dr. Pierre Kory, author of The War on Ivermectin, cofounder of the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance, cofounder of the Leading Edge Clinic “A highly readable book full of important health information. Emma Tekstra educates the reader with a wealth of longevity research, cutting-edge science, and spiritual insights.”—Jennifer Margulis, PhD award-winning science journalist, author of Your Baby, Your Way, and co-author of the bestseller The Vaccine-Friendly Plan ""This book is a ‘how-to’ guide interspersed with a deeply personal story of the author's struggles to find her way in a world where there is so much contradictory information on how to stay healthy. The book has a friendly accessible style, mixing interesting scientific facts with specific recommendations for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The message that ‘food is medicine’ comes through loud and clear.”—Stephanie Seneff, PhD Senior Research Scientist, MIT and author of Toxic Legacy "
