About the Author:
For more than 20 years, Brenda Watson, C.N.C. has dedicated her career to helping people achieve vibrant, lasting health through improved digestive function. A dynamic health advocate, she is among the foremost authorities in America today on optimum nutrition and digestion, natural detoxification methods, and herbal internal cleansing. Brenda has intensely studied many philosophies of health and natural healing with the premiere teachers of our time. This inspired her to establish natural healthcare clinics in Florida specializing in cleansing and detoxification. Growing awareness of the link between digestive health and total-body wellness motivated Brenda to write her first book, Renew Your Life, in 2002. The book focused on supporting the body's natural detoxification processes and improving digestion through healthy nutrition. It has since sold more than 100,000 copies. Now a New York Times best-selling author, Brenda has written six books on digestive health. Brenda's knowledge is surpassed only by her enthusiasm and mission to help people through awareness and education. Her high-energy, no-nonsense approach to bodily functions has made her a popular presenter on PBS and a frequent health expert on national television. Dr. Smith is a board certified general, gastrointestinal and vascular surgeon. He was in private practice in Gainesville, Florida for 25 years, during which time he not only maintained an active surgery practice, but also incorporated lifestyle, diet, supplementation, exercise, detoxification and stress management into his practice. Many of his patients with cancer, cardiovascular disease, and many other serious illnesses did so well with these programs that he began to devote most of his time to foundational health care and preventative medicine. He is currently on the volunteer faculty at the University of Miami Department of Surgery, and is a medical advisor for the Department of Integrative Medicine.
