Praise for the Book!

"Carla Atherton is a whistleblower on family health. In this book she gives parents every key they need to keep children healthy and thriving and to prevent future physical and mental diseases that are now so common. She does so by telling the truth on our disease producing normative food and lifestyle habits, and by giving specific tools on how to get out of the toxic community pond and into clear water. The book is a culmination of years of experience, research, and leadership; every child and their family deserve to benefit from this remarkable and urgent work.”

-Naomi Aldort, Author of, Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves

“I have known Carla Atherton for some time, and I love that she has combined her passion for research and helping people with her experience as a mother to create a much needed resource for families to optimise their health.”

-Jill C. Carnahan, MD ABIHM, ABoIM, IFMCP, Medical Director, Flatiron Functional Medicine

“I found Carla Atherton during the darkest time of my life. My son had just been diagnosed with Encephalitis of the Basal Ganglia after six months of horrific, exorcist-type behaviours. After frantic researching to get a diagnosis, I was in the thick of se arching for treatment options. That is when Carla entered my life. The information provided to me was robust, but manageable. Her guidance was evidence-based, concrete, and filled with clear action steps, yet she had a way of making me feel seen and heard. There was work to be done, for sure, but I was empowered. Carla Atherton is one of the most knowledgeable, compassionate, determined, and capable women I know. Her work is comprehensive, sound, and enlightened. If you are on a journey of healing, seeking guidance, and searching for answers, then you have picked up the right book. Carla’s knowledge is expansive, and she shares freely. You are about to embark on the best decision you’ve ever made.”

-Heather Korbmacher, M.Ed., NBCT, Author of What Happened to My Child, courageousparent.com

Family Health Revolution is the culmination of her work to date, and a true accomplishment. A step by step resource for anyone seeking more robust health for their families, it has something to offer holistic newcomers and veterans alike. Carla has created a thoughtful, practical, and passionate guide that digs deep. I will be sharing Family Health Revolution with my clients and colleagues; and I am pretty sure she just made my own work supporting families a little bit easier. Thank you Carla!”

-Josie Nelson, Founder Integrative Health Strategies and Program Director Documenting Hope

“For many people health is considered in segments like exercise or diets. The truth is, real health is holistic because all aspects of who we are are connected. Carla gets it. This book is powerful and a must have for everyone that wants to fuel their best life by first taking care of their best gift—their body. It will reshape how you approach your health and how you support your family and change the quality of your life.”

-Nicole Telfer, Founder EmpoweredKidsTV

“This book is a huge wake-up call. Carla challenges us to take a long hard look at the current state of our own and our children’s mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health and wellbeing. It is not a pretty picture. She then implores us to make choices that will change the trajectory of our lives, takes us by the hand, and teaches us how to do this, step by step and in great detail. Carla’s knowledge and her passion for showing us a better way shines through every line of this amazing book.”

-Dr. Sandy Gluckman, Founder of Parenting That Heals, Author of Parents, Take Charge and Who's in the Driver's Seat?, International Speaker

Her vision for a Health Revolution is inspiring, and her approach to healing is grounded, accessible, and compassionate.”

-Beth Lambert, Executive Director, Epidemic Answers and the Documenting Hope Project and author of A Compromised Generation

“Carla Atherton makes health personal. Really personal. In her new book, Carla takes readers deep into the reasons why health is so personal and so important. More than a “how to” book, her latest writing helps readers discover their own “why”. Carla challenges her audience to discover their own answers, and walks them through the steps that will lead to the outcomes they have acknowledged are critical to their own happiness.”

-Reed Davis, FDNP, CNT, HHP

“My first mentor in becoming a Functional Medicine Physician over 40 years ago was Dr. George Goodheart. He would often say, ‘look with eyes that see.’ As a young buck, I didn't really understand what he meant. Now I do. When Carla Atherton realised, ‘I have come to accept that I am not okay if the people I love are not okay,’ she created the widely successful Children's Health Summit. And as she discovered ‘the biggest problems we are facing right now are caused by the decisions we do not know we are making,’ she knew it was time to write this book. Read this book, and YOU will ‘look with eyes that see.’”

-Dr. Tom O'Bryan, autoimmune expert, founder of thedr.com and author of The Autoimmune Fix and You Can Fix Your Brain

“Carla is passionate about starting a Family Health Revolution by empowering families to take control of their own health and that of their family from birth through to old age, and this guide covers it all. This well-researched book details how all aspects of our health have been impacted by our western lifestyles, diet, environment, and medical practices and gives practical advice on how to shift gears and build the foundations for preventing disease and reclaiming your family’s health. Carla leaves no stone left unturned as it pertains to family health and well-being. It is a must-have guide for every family bookshelf.”

-Julie Wyatt, HHF Practitioner Trainee and Family Health Revolution Advocate

“This book is a beautiful guide to empower you with trusted information as your go-to handbook. It will also inspire you to become your own advocate for you and your family. This book is a bright light shining on the path to discovery.”

-Lisa Lash, HFF Family Health Consultant and Coach

“Optimal health and wellness, who wouldn’t want that for themselves and their loved ones? The answer is that we all share that goal, but many or dare I say, most of us, are overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated. We don’t have a clue about how to get there. We don’t want a band aid, we don’t want a pill. We want our God-given right to overall health and wellness. Many of us feel defeated by the plethora of information available to us. We are drowning in a sea of information and opinions which may or may not be useful to us.
Through this book, Carla takes her many years of education, searching, researching, and interacting with the leading experts in the wellness world to create a practical source of information with “the best of the best,” no nonsense, research-driven advice and strategies to achieve your optimal health and wellness. Carla takes into account your physical, spiritual, and emotional wellness. Will it be a quick fix to your health woes? Most likely not, as the road to optimal health can be long and steep. Will the pursuit be worth the effort? Absolutely, for we all know that our health and wellness are paramount to everything else in life. This precious resource has assisted me greatly in my path to optimal health and
wellness. I picked my path, how about you?”

-Susan Engel, HFF Practitioner Trainee

-Stephanie Seneff, Senior Research Scientist, MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
