She covers all the common gastrointestinal disorders and offers her expert guidance on the newest advances in testing and diagnosis, nutrition, and natural therapies, including detoxification and self-care options for more than thirty conditions.

About the Author: Elizabeth Lipski first became interested in holistic healing while in college. There she spent much of her time stalking the woods for edible plants and roots and studying and making herbal medicines. It became apparent to Lipski that herbs were another type of medicine, and that people's lifestyles and attitudes are the foundation for great health.
Lipski has been working in the field of wellness and holistic nutrition since receiving her master's degree in 1979. She became board certified as a clinical nutritionist in 1991 and received her doctorate in clinical nutrition in 2001. She has had a varied career. Along with a private practice, she has run weight-management programs; worked in holistic medical and allopathic medical clinics, a health-food store, several spas, and several health clubs; created and provided wellness programs for businesses and corporations; and taught and lectured extensively. Digestive Wellness was first published in 1995 and is accompanied by the Leaky Gut Syndrome booklet. Lipski's proudest achievement is being a mom of two amazing young men, Ken and Arthur.
The website www.elizabethlipski.com has additional information about private telephone consultations, and on workshops for health professionals and community groups on nutritional medicine and digestive wellness. You'll also find information about Lipski's services, products, some articles, and a variety of resources.
Lipski has a great passion for this work, seeking balance in her own life in order to be a model for those she serves. If she can be of assistance to you, she welcomes the opportunity.
