No Bull

This book explains issues of heart health in easy-to-understand terminology. The authors offer realistic and achievable goals in both preventing and dealing with heart disease.

The Real Thing

I have a strong family history of heart disease and I was drawn to the title of the book. While reading the book it occurred to me that this is how medical books should be written. It felt like the authors were actually talking about me and to me. It was amazingly easy and even fun to read but also provided the information that none of my doctors ever talked about. The chapter on diagnostic test was perfect. It validated my experiences with heart tests and I liked how they talked about the "humiliation factor." Most importantly, I liked how they recommend treating one risk factor/problem at a time and not to overwhelm the patient with "you better do this list right now." No Bull was simple, to the point, informative, and a great read.

This book is SOOOO great!

It felt like these authors were sitting in my living room talking straight to me about how to handle the health issues that my father is facing. In the 3 hours it took me to read this book, I got more information than I did from all the research I have done online and in the library. The whole book simply makes good sense. These authors delivered it simply and effectively! GREAT READ!
