Tackling the problems plaguing the U.S. health-care system, this accessible guide explores the pitfalls of contemporary medicine and medical treatments, concentrating on diseases linked to poor lifestyle choices, such as obesity and diabetes. While much of the health-care industry is centered on a blanket approach that addresses a general disease instead of the person affected by it, this guide suggests that personalization is the key to good health. It asserts that patients who make physical, e

Review by Br Business Services, LLC for More Health, Less Care: How to Take Charge of Your Medical Care and Write Your Own Personal Prescription for Lifelong Health

This book, although brief and simply written, inspired me to look at my current personal health status. That in itself was important. What really impressed me was the way that Dr. Weiss helped me see that our health care system is not a wellness system. If I want to be and stay well, I have to change the way I am thinking. What a sensible approach.
I recommend this book to all my family and friends who want to take more responsibility of their health future.

I highly recommend More Health, Less Care. It delivers valuable information in a clear, concise format with excellent examples.
Dr. Weiss guides readers from the shortfalls of our traditional healthcare system to an innovative approach to healthcare. It is geared to where we are today. We can be our own best advocates if we just know how. More Health, Less Care tells us how. The introduction sums up this book the best when Dr. Weiss writes, “…the principles outlined in this book provide a general philosophy of problem-solving and self-improvement that can be applied to any condition, problem or situation in your life where you desire a positive change.” It truly tells us how to take charge of our medical care and how to write our own personal prescription for lifelong health.

This book is relevant to everyone and whatever your level of health you will find that reading More Health Less Care will give you the inspiration and encouragement you need to take even better care of yourself. You will discover that you are far from powerless when it comes to taking control of your health and that improvement is always possible and worthwhile.
In his timely message, Dr Weiss also invites us to think outside the box for our healthcare solutions, to engage in new and fulfilling health enhancing behaviours and to embrace the idea that it is our personal responsibility to take the best care of ourselves; doing whatever is necessary to avoid getting sick in the first place. When you read this book you will find a new desire awakening within you, the desire to experience a deeper level of wellness and a renewed motivation for good health. Who doesn’t want that?

More Health, Less Care by Peter J Weiss, M.D.
This small book is a huge gem. It is very refreshing to have a book written by a medical doctor who takes into account that people are not like cars; people do need to be treated holistically by the medical profession. We as patients also need to remove our dependence on the medical profession and the “magic” pills and to become responsible for our own health and well-being. And Dr Weiss provides a guide line as well as examples to help us to do that.
Dr Weiss encourages us to take into account not only our physical health, but also our emotional and spiritual health as well, because as many of us are aware, they are all intertwined. He strongly suggests that we write our own Personal Prescription for good health. Dr Weiss encourages us to gather a team to support us with our health goals – not just to rely on a doctor but friends, wellness coaches, pharmacists and other health professionals. He also suggests having an open mind and to look at alternatives.
Dr Weiss does encourage people to take a multi-vitamin (which is an excellent start to a nutritional program) I would also recomend that an advanced quality (nutriceuticals) multi-mineral, antioxidants and omega-3 are also added. A multi-vitamin on its own may be better than nothing but adding the others to the mix may make a bigger improvement.
Currently I have three people in my life who may benefit from reading this book, but I think only one of them is ready to make a change for the better. I was thinking of this one particular friend in the part of the book where Dr Weiss discusses willpower. This book also provides guidelines for Wellness Coaches to help their clients achieve their health goals.
By the end of the book you will have a full understanding of the meaning of the title. I read this book in one and a half hours because I am familiar with the concepts. The concepts may be new for many people so it is really helpful that Dr Weiss explains the how-to and he also provides examples of how these concepts can be put into practice. This a book that I am very pleased to have in my toolbox.
If you are ready to write your own Personal Precription for good health or know someone who is willing to make a change, you may wish to purchase More Health, Less Care. It could make a difference between living or dying.

I have to agree with the other reviewers. This book is both easy to read and practical. It provides a step-by-step plan for taking charge of one’s own health. Dr. Weiss eschews the traditional approach to self-help,telling people that they just need more will-power! Instead he provides practical advice on how to change one’s own environment so that one can achieve better health.
