Dr. Mila McManus graduated at the top of her class from the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston in 2000. Completed her residency training at Christus St. Joseph in downtown Houston in 2003 and became Board Certified in Family Medicine.
Dr. McManus went in search of answers and discovered that there are simple, practical, and studied ways of treating the “root causes” of many common health problems. She became certified by the American Academy of Biologically Identical Hormone Therapy in 2004 and founded The Woodlands Institute for Health and Wellness.
[Following are official OnlineBookClub.org reviews of “Highway to Health, 2nd edition” by Mila McManus MD.] “Highway to Health, 2nd Edition, by Mila McManus, MD is a “nutritional roadmap” for those desiring to make healthy lifestyle changes. The comprehensive guide promotes family wellness, offers natural alternatives, and addresses many health-related topics. Chapters provide information on whole foods, hydration, supplements, exercise, adequate rest, maintaining a healthy gut, individual healthy eating plans, food allergies, blood sugar balance, and inflammation.”
“Additionally, Dr. McManus provides details about choosing foods wisely and points of interest related to organic foods, calories, enzymes, soy, and genetically modified foods. The 102-page guide is organized, professionally edited, and packed with information.”
“Dr. McManus teaches that lifetime eating plans and digestive styles are unique to each individual. For instance, she compares how the body digests carbs with the way a car burns gas. In the same manner that gas-guzzling cars are inefficient, some people don’t burn carbs efficiently, and they may be hungry an hour after eating them.”
“Although Dr. McManus practices alternatives to conventional medicine, her practical suggestions may win over would-be skeptics. It is difficult to refute her common- sense approach, such as: “Make one good choice and stick with it until it is a habit and a lifestyle. Then tackle the next one.”
“In addition to providing nutritional advice, Dr. McManus also stresses the importance that restful sleep and dealing with emotional trauma play in restoring health.”
“The thing I like most about the book is that it was born from Dr. McManus’s desire to seek “…natural ways to treat the root causes and symptoms of diseases rather than band-aiding symptoms with prescription drugs.” Many readers will relate to the suggested alternatives due to the limitations of conventional medicine.”
“I also appreciate the resources that are included in the book, such as food and lifestyle diary pages and self-assessment forms for a variety of conditions. However, Dr. McManus emphasizes that the forms are not meant for self-treatment but as a guideline for those needing to seek further professional evaluation.”
“I respect Dr. McManus’s passion for the wellness center she founded and the supplements available for sale. I recommend it to readers seeking natural treatments for a variety of health issues and those desiring a healthier lifestyle.”
