Nelson, PhD, nutrition scientist and international bestselling author of the <em>StrongWomen</em> book series "Whether you are recovering from heart disease, cancer, diabetes, or just trying not to become a statistic, Rebuild makes the mechanics of disease recovery both possible and palatable.

Bravo!" -- Belisa Vranich, PsyD, clinical psychologist and author of <em>Breathe</em> "The concepts in Rebuild enable patients to realize that the choices they make each day impact the risk of developing heart disease.
