Product Description
With a simple self-test, readers of this book can determine their brain chemistry out of six types-and then learn how to balance that type with a unique diet and vitamin supplement regimen that nourishes them mentally and emotionally. It's a new way to relieve stress, conquer depression, and maximize individual strengths-and gives a whole new meaning to the term "brain food."

Reader ReviewsI am usually skeptical about books that have questionnaires about your type. I rarely fit. However, to my surprise, after taking this questionnaire, when I read the description of my type, it was like reading my autobiography. Some of my quirky dietary needs and also the supplements were mentioned. I was amazed and was very pleased to be able to use the book to further enhance my health condition. Plus, it was wonderful to finally be understood by a health care practitioner. Dr. Lesser's understanding of people is very keen and adept. The holistic overview provided, covering lifestyle, emotions, diet, and supplements, is like a breath of fresh air. The book is also very well written, easy to follow and understand. I recommend this book to those who are wishing to fine tune their supplement programs or simply don't know what to take. Also, it may be very helpful to individuals who are puzzled by mental or emotional symptoms.
