—Wayne Andersen, M.D., author of Dr. A’s Habits of Health, Medical Director of Medifast; and Co-Founder of Take Shape for Life

A must read for anyone dealing with the challenges of diabetes and the health care providers who impact them every day. The TED* principals are simple tools that power empowerment!”
—Donna Rice, CDE, former President, Diabetes Health and Wellness Institute, Dallas, TX, Past President of AADE
“In TED* for Diabetes, David Emerald and Dr. Conard have done an impressive job of offering a positive approach to managing not only diabetes, but any chronic medical challenge. Their vivid descriptions of the roller coaster of emotions, and relationship challenges, which accompany health issues, set the stage for the concise and clear introduction of tools for shifting attitudes and taking positive ‘baby steps’ to successful health management. Patients, their families, and their health care providers will all be grateful for this new perspective.”
—Ann V. Deaton, PhD, PCC, Leadership Coach and Clinical Health Psychologist
“This incredible book can help change the lives of people with diabetes, and those who support them. When a patient receives a diagnosis of diabetes, they often feel overwhelmed by all of the new medical and lifestyle information they receive. The authors provide real strategies for empowering people to better manage their own disease. I also think this book is a powerful and helpful tool for clinicians as it can educate and improve their ability to enable their patients to maintain a healthy lifestyle.”
—Dana McCormick, BS Pharm, RPh, Past President, AmericanDiabetes Association, North Texas Chapter
“David Emerald’s ‘The Empowerment Dynamic’ (TED*) framework is one of the simplest, most powerful models I know of for optimal living. In TED* for Diabetes, David and Dr. Conard apply this framework to one of the greatest health challenges facing our world today–providing the inspiration and tools for everyone suffering from diabetes to shift and respond to the challenge as a Creator rather than as a Victim. If you’d like to optimize your health rather than just slow down the illness, this book is for you!”
—Brian Johnson, Philosopher & CEO of en*theos Academy forOptimal Living; creator of PhilosophersNotes
“TED* for Diabetes will take you on an inspiring and informative journey of discovery and hope. This compelling story is for anyone who is struggling with coming to terms with diabetes. It offers an entirely different window from which to view and approach diabetes. This book will put you firmly in the driver’s seat. With a gentle approach and a dash of humor, authors David Emerald and Scott Canard, M.D., provide an easy to use recipe–complete with practical tools and the resources–for living the life you always wanted—even with diabetes. I highly recommend this book.”
—Donald Altman, M.A., LPC, author, Eat, Savor, Satisfy: 12-Weeks to Mindful Eating and One- minute Mindfulness
“TED* for Diabetes takes the mystery out of empowering self and others. Personal empowerment is the missing active ingredient for optimal health, healthcare reform,
the activated patient, the elimination of health disparities and the promotion of health literacy. If you want to get healthy, effectively support a person living with diabetes or just get a life, this transformative little book is the place to start.”
—Sandra Smith, PhD, MPH, Executive Director, Center for Health Literacy Promotion
“This book is more effective than having a personal chef and health coach live with you, better than a month long yoga retreat in Bali, and yes, better than a magic pill to fix whatever ails you. Why? Because the TED* framework changes you, from the inside, releasing the inner power you need to create optimal health. Reading this book will help you hold onto and express that power. That, my friend, is deep, true health.”
—Jennifer Louden, author of The Woman’s Comfort Book and The Life Organizer
