Donna asks; I am on obese person on Warfarin. Do you know of any Health & Nutrition books with recipes out there that would help me keep within the therapeutic range for my Warfarin and yet be low calorie?

Donna,

It’s wonderful that you are being proactive about researching healthy options for eating! It would be outside of my scope of practice to suggest a particular diet, because I am not a dietician and you have dietary needs specific to your health situation. However, I do have an idea that I hope you’ll pursue. I suggest that you talk with your doctor about working directly with a dietician. It is very likely that your medical condition warrants professional dietary recommendations and supervision from a dietician. Also, consider working one on one with a wellness coach. A coach can help you stay motivated and help you find your path to success! Best wishes on the road to better health!
