Ever ponder trying those detoxes glorified on the radio? Slamming some energy drinks before a workout? Going gluten free to shed some extra pounds? Skipping a vaccine here and there? If you've considered any of these options, read Dr. Travel's latest book, Health Tips, Myths, and Tricks, to re-educate and defend yourself from media sensationalism!
If you recognize any book as a guide to living a healthy, well-educated existence, greatly consider Dr. Travel's work.

Numerous typos undid the clarity Dr. Travel tried so hard to preserve. Inconsistencies in formatting left me feeling unsatisfied. Egregious issues with bullet points made me want to rip out my own hair.

2. Cold cuts and cured meats – Two slices of bologna can have 578 mg of sodium
3 Poultry – especially chicken nuggets. Just 3 ounces have nearly 600 mg of sodium
I was shocked that any editor missed this extreme of an error. Though issues like this certainly don't dissuade me from enjoying this book, I really hope issues like this are resolved for later editions.
Overall, I rate this book a solid 3 out of 4 stars. Discovering an enjoyable non-fiction book on health is so difficult to find, and writing one is immensely more so. Dr. Travel composed an informative, fun, and humorous book to approach health from all sides, and based on that content alone I award him 3 stars. And when the editing issues are resolved, I will gladly give him a 4-star
