Editorial Reviews

Review

“I am a firsthand witness to Dr. Oz’s holistic approach to modern medicine and healing. When he performed my mom’s heart valve replacement surgery, he asked her first to heal herself with food. His work gave me ten more years with my mom. In the years since, I have seen him live the life he preaches and the results. Food Can Fix It hits all notes of a nutritious and delicious lifestyle. I know from personal experience, food can fix it!” (Rocco DiSpirito, award-winning chef and author of Rocco's Healthy & Delicious )

“It was Hippocrates who once said, ‘Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.’ Both Dr. Oz and I first heard that in medical school many years ago. Now, with Food Can Fix It, Dr. Oz will teach everyone this valuable lesson and explain what it means and how to draw upon the amazing healing powers of food.” (—Sanjay Gupta, M.D., Associate Chief of Neurosurgery at Grady Memorial Hospital, Chief Medical Correspondent at CNN, and contributor to 60 Minutes )

“In his groundbreaking new book, Dr. Oz empowers readers to take charge of their health through the foods they choose to eat. With words of wisdom, personal stories, and findings from multiple scientific studies, Dr. Oz shows how food can fix or improve fatigue, bad moods, heart problems, and even pain. Follow his simple plan and you’ll be on a healthy journey for life.” (Deepak Chopra, M.D. )

“Experts have long known that food has remarkable potential as medicine to prevent, treat, and even reverse disease. Far too little, however, has been done with this crucial information. No one is better suited to fix this problem, deliver this empowering memo, and help millions add years to their lives and life to their years than Dr. Mehmet Oz.” (David L. Katz, M.D., M.P.H., founding director of Yale University Prevention Research Center and founder and president of the True Health Initiative )

“What we eat is one of the most powerful determinants of our health and well-being. In Food Can Fix It, Dr. Oz—America’s doctor—has written one of the most authoritative yet user-friendly guides to foods that keep us healthy and vibrant that are also delicious, familiar, and fun. If you read only one book on nutrition this year, this is it. Highly recommended!” (Dean Ornish, M.D., founder and president of Preventive Medicine Research Institute and author of The Spectrum and Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease )

“Food Can Fix It elegantly reveals the science and wisdom that food can be a powerful medicine for the body.” (Mike Roizen, M.D., Chief Wellness Officer at Cleveland Clinic and co-author of YOU: On a Diet )

“As a heart surgeon and early pioneer to some of the Blue Zones areas, Dr. Oz knows how to eat your way to a longer and stronger life. Fix what you eat, and you could very well fix your health problems.Dr. Oz explains how in this informative, accessible book filled with anecdotes, science, recipes, and guidelines for cooking, shopping, and eating out.” (Dan Buettner, author of The Blue Zones Solution: Eating and Living Like the World's Longest-Lived People )

“Can’t fall asleep at night? A tablespoon of peanut butter and a small banana can help you relax! Learn more food fixes for everything from bad moods to pain to digestive health. In his new book, Dr. Oz explains the power of nutrition and makes it easy for you to benefit from it.” (Good Housekeeping)

"The doctor's latest is full of what-to-eat recs to help you feel younger, get more energy, ease common ailments and control your weight." (Good Housekeeping)

“If you’re aiming for virtuous good health, you’ll certainly find a book to fuel your preoccupation….Dr. Mehmet Oz’s FOOD CAN FIX IT.” (New York Times Book Review)

"Sprinkled throughout the book, making it not only an interesting but also a fun read, are tips and factoids to devour. We give Dr. Oz three cheers for his thoughts on how food should be thought of as even more than just good for the physical body.” (Healthy Aging Magazine)

5.0 out of 5 stars Best overall meal plan
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2024

I bought this book several years ago and it's the one I keep coming back to. Dr. Oz understands that for a diet plan to work it has to taste good and be based on normal food. This plan follows the Mediterranean Diet. You don't have to read the book but there's a lot of useful and easy to understand information. Dr. Oz gives a 3 week meal plan with PHOTOS and shopping lists. The first week is kind of expensive because you have to get the staples, after that it's pretty cheap, lots of produce. I'm not a fan of quinoa but you can substitute brown rice. He also includes a 3-day cleanse which is pretty awesome and a lot of extra recipes. I've probably bought at least a dozen similar books, but this is the one I use when I need a reset. I don't have time to make frittata before I go to work or bake muffins three times in a week, like I've seen in other books. You will have leftovers...so if you're only cooking for one or two you can really just pick like 3-4 dinner recipes each week. You won't regret getting this book if you want a good meal plan to follow, and what Dr Oz says is true.....food can fix it!

I have not read all of this book yet but will, one of my New Years resolutions is to eat healtier and this book is easy to follow and you don't have to read the whole thing to start, can start and gain more wisdom as you read, i.e., has a plate diagram that is a good visual queue on portions for a meal and what each food group should be in each portion, and some pages that give you the basics to choose when shopping and cooking. And the recipes are pretty easy (and delicious so far). This is not a fusy who has time for this kind of approach. Anyone can do this! Love it, thank you so much Dr. Oz!

This seems to be a great book. I had my book for one day it started to fall apart at the center of the book. My suggestion get the hard cover not the paperback. Four stars for the content, one star taken off for the construction. I prefer paper back books over hard cover. I’ve purchased numerous paper back books, especially from Amazon, and none have ever fallen apart, just this one🤷🏻‍♀️

I already had this book and decided to order it for my son. He's cooking more and always looking for healthy meals. I find it informative and very educational. I haven't tried all of the recipes in the book, but i've learned a lot about the effects certain foods have on the body. I would recommend it. However, if you're on the fence, your local library may have it in stock.

I was impressed with how well this paperback book was protected before slipping it into a durable shipping envelope. This was sold by an independent seller who obviously wanted to assure that this product arrived without incident. The book itself is attractive and printed on quality paper. It was copyrighted in 2018. Seller described it as new, and it arrived new! I've very pleased.
