<strong><em>Publisher's Weekly: </em> </strong>Written for fans of glossy magazines, Vicario's book rolls out a well-integrated, holistic lifestyle plan based on what she touts as her successful personal transformation. She left a successful but stressful PR job and abandoned her unhealthy eating and drinking habits, and is now a health and nutrition coach. It's easy to jump on Vicario's bandwagon; she uses strong salesmanship techniques (asking questions that can only have one answer), serves up plenty of encouraging words, and shares personal details about her transformation to great advantage. (Once she found her purpose in health coaching, the rest of her life fell into place, she explains.) In addition to self-help narration, the book includes healthy food choices and a sprinkling of recipes. Client Story sidebars illustrate successful practices and brief Put It in Action summaries at chapter ends are useful reminders of small and manageable changes to incorporate into one's life. In addition to nutrition, Vicario covers the well-stocked pantry, stress-free cooking, exercise, relationship tips, and a few out-of-the-ordinary subjects (tongue scraping, mask treatments). Lifestyle change doesn't have to be complicated, Vicario insists, and for determined readers, this book may well be the impetus for transformation. <em>(BookLife)</em></p>Review Rating: 5 stars Reviewed By Mamta Madhavan for Readers' Favorite Your Holistically Hot Transformation: Embrace a Healthy Lifestyle Free of Dieting, Confusion and Self-Judgment by Marissa Vicario is an uplifting book that increases readers' awareness of health and wellness, and speaks about embracing a lifestyle that is free of dieting, yet at the same time healthy.

Author Information

Marissa Vicario, AADP, is an award-winning, board-certified Integrative Health and Nutrition Coach, healthy living blogger and Women's Health & Lifestyle Expert. As the Founder of Marissa's Well-being and Health, she is passionate about teaching women to trust themselves to make nutritious, slimming and energizing choices without resorting to fad diets and all-juice cleanses. Her tips, recipes and expertise have been featured on The Dr. Oz Show, The New York Times, Entrepreneur Magazine, Glamour and Next Generation TV among many other women's lifestyle publications. After spending a decade and a half as a junk food vegetarian and raging sugar addict, Marissa Vicario discovered whole foods and the way they made her look and feel. Her desire to live a cleaner, healthier lifestyle was so strong, she broke out her hand-me-down pots and pans and dull cutting knives and taught herself to cook in the kitchen of her Manhattan studio apartment. In the process, she learned that food changes everything and single-handedly transformed the trajectory of her life from the inside out. It wasn't long before she decided to study holistic nutrition and make it a career. When she's not teaching workshops and cooking classes or coaching clients in her private or group programs, you can find her traveling with her husband, David, running with the New York Road Runners or experimenting with flavorful, healthy recipes.
