I chose this book because Dr. Lee is located locally here to me and I wanted to learn more about him and to get more information. One of my guy friends in his 30’s was overweight for a long time and he went to Dr. Lee and he has gained energy and lost half his body weight. It changed his life. I highly recommend this book to women and men

I have been going to endocrinologist all my life and always felt like they didn’t get it right with my hormonal problems…..until I saw Dr. Edwin Lee and got his book: “Your best investment”!!!! This is a life saving book for people with thyroid problems or PCOS or any type of insulin resistance. It not only educates you, but it also gives you many recipes to help you implement your new lifestyle! Dr. Edwin Lee….keep informing us please!!!!!

Dr. Lee is not only a very special physician, he is a very special individual who genuinely cares about your overall health. He takes so much time and pays so much attention to your health and progress. It’s refreshing in this day and age! After only three months under his care, I feel like I’m 21, not 61!
The book is very informative and educates you on a lot of different medical issues. It gives a very in depth explanation of many ailments and symptoms associated with fatigue and lack of energy. Dr. Lee explains the ins and outs of why we feel tired and have no energy. He gets very detailed with his advice and reasoning for reversing this common aging problem. As I was reading the book I was just really hoping there wasn’t an exam at the back end because, although interesting and the fact that it all made sense, could I remember all of the medical terms? No way! I would have failed miserably. But, Dr. lee went to med school for many, many years and I didn’t. I’m reading another one of Dr. Lee’s books right now…..

Your Best Investment: Secrets to a Healthy Body and Mind is an excellent, informative book by Dr. Lee. If you’re interested in creating optimal health for yourself, this book is an outstanding resource. Backed by sound medical science, Dr. Lee provides detailed information in easy-to-understand language that can change your life. I couldn’t put the book down.

Dr Lee’s book is a great way to begin to turn your life around. I have become a patient of Dr. Lee since reading his book and he has helped me lower my blood pressure and become more energetic. I have lost weight and feel great. Thanks Dr Lee.

wonderfully informative, impeccably researched book. Highly innovative, but also grounded in sound and strong principles, Dr. Lee’s book will improve your life for sure.

I was invited to hear Dr. Lee speak and was so fascinated with the wealth of health information he gives I started taking notes. Thank goodness he wrote this book (and also his 1st, ‘Feel Good, Look Younger’). ‘Your Best Investment, secrets to a healthy body and mind’ covers a range of weight loss secrets, lifestyle improvements, and packed with meal plans, recipes, and especially his famous smoothies. I have enjoyed it now for awhile and refer to it often. It’s a health guide that I’ve shared with friends and they tell me they “couldn’t put it down”. I finally made an appointment with to Dr. Lee and was pleased with how personalized his recommendations are – he truly gets to the root of what your experiencing in your health and he listened so well, was able to figure out what was complicating something else, gave me a corrective action plan in various areas of my symptoms, diet, exercise, lifestyle, prescriptions, suggestions, tips on shopping, etc. I was amazed – when he ‘tweeked’ it by the second visit, I couldn’t believe what a difference it made in my body and mind, I feel so much better. He is a problem solver – it was impressive how one doctor could completely correct what various other doctors over years never connected – I told him “You hit the nail on the head”. It was so worth it to go to him when I otherwise would have gone on for years with my symptoms. He wants all of his patients to live longer healthier lives. This book holds a wealth of information for your health, it is a ‘keeper’ !

I enjoyed this book as much as I did his first book “Feel Good Look Younger” . The information is so valuable, interesting, easy to understand and informative I couldn’t put the book down. I can’t recommend this book enough if you really care about how you feel and look. If you follow his suggestions in both books you will be amazed at the changes you will experience in your own life. I would suggest, also,if you can see him as a physician that would be the icing on the cake. HE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE! I have been seeing him for about 13 years as a patient and I am not the same person. I am healthier, feel great about myself, and look younger. The best investment in your life is to take care of yourself. Dr Lee is patient, responsive, and is always there to help and can help you in these books. If you can’t see him as a patient…read the books!

It was the results from my blood tests last month that finally convinced me to take some action. I’m 54 years old and my blood pressure was high, my cholesterol and triglycerides were high, my blood sugar was high, my insulin level was high, I had gained significant mass around my midsection, I was lethargic and I was drinking too much. (It seemed like when I was drinking was the only time I had any energy). This was not a good combination! My endocrinologist said that I had most of the symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome and would soon be staring diabetes in the face. At his suggestion I picked up a copy of this book.

One month after reading this book and putting the ideas into action, my blood tests results have shown progress in every area. I am not going to tell you that it was easy because it required a complete change in my shopping habits and diet. It required I stop drinking. No sugar. No simple starch. Cut down on the red meat, etc, etc. It was like going through a mini-withdrawal. But two weeks into my change I actually started to feel good about it and looked forward to my `healthy’ meals.

The format for meal planning made my transition as easy as could be. All meals planned out for me everyday for the first month. All recipes were easy to understand and prepare. There was even a list of those things that should be purchased organic and those that are safer to buy non-organic. (I eventually went organic for almost everything.) The menu planning for the second (and subsequent) months was a little less strict, with the introduction of some complex carbs such as brown rice and whole wheat bread which was not part of the initial month.

I am now heading into my third month and my `diet’ now seems just like normal eating. When I enter the supermarket, most of my time is spent in the produce section and I intuitively know what I will need for the week. I now crave salad and look forward to a smoothie every day. My longings for sugar (and alcohol) are gone and my energy level is higher and much more level throughout the day. I’ve even started to exercise again (amazing). In short, I feel great.

If you are concerned about your health, you must pay more attention to what you put in your body. Dr. Lee’s book will give you a roadmap to optimize your health through your diet. I am going back for a checkup at the end of the month. I already know my results will be fantastic. Thank you Dr. Lee, Alison Gordon & Laura Gavin!

I just read YOUR BEST INVESTMENT this weekend. Understanding the proper diet ingredients was fairly straight forward, but I was really helped by the menus put together by Alison Gordon, which translated those ingredients into things I can actually eat. A wonderful effort by Edwin Lee, Alison Gordon and Laura Gavin.
