Target Specific Medical Conditions with Medical Foods
The Obesity Epidemic, Abundance, and the “Thrifty Gene”
The Difference Between Supplements and Medical Food
Dr. Lawrence May Notable Quotes
“My first admonition to patients is, ‘You don’t eat food from a bag or a box. And if it’s bottled, processed, or packaged, or canned, it should be banned. And if you start off with only eating those things from the trees, the ground, or the animal—and you can do without the animal, if you choose—but food should be unadulterated.’”
– Dr. Lawrence May
