Dr. Jensen's Guide to Natural Weight Control

Dr. Bernard Jensen was a prominent figure in the field of chiropractic and holistic health, best known for his extensive work on iridology and natural nutrition. Published in 2000 by McGraw-Hill, this guide represents the culmination of his philosophy regarding systemic detoxification and whole-food nutrition. The book was designed to distill decades of Jensen’s clinical experience into an accessible manual for the general public, focusing on his belief that weight control is a byproduct of physiological balance rather than caloric restriction.

The text serves as a core reference within the alternative medicine literature of the late 20th century. Jensen’s approach, characterized by a heavy emphasis on intestinal health and raw food diets, was consistent with the broader wellness movements gaining traction during that era. While the scientific community remains divided on the efficacy of many of his methods, the book achieved a steady presence among enthusiasts of holistic health and remains a recognized entry in the bibliography of Bernard Jensen’s long-standing wellness practice.
