I ask, because it seems like my own experience with general practice doctors is that most everything they prescribe is just pharmeseuticals or pills. What’s the best way to find a good doctor for a nursing mother, who will have more of a focus on diet and nutrition, morseo than a quick pharmeseutical solution?
(and I’m not knocking pharma, it has it’s place. But since there’s the nursing of a baby factor here, I’d rather find a doctor who’s first inclination isn’t a pharmeseutical approach, but instead a more natural one.)

Thanks.

I recently took a course on diet and exercise and I found it very interesting.  It gave me a great deal of insight about proper diet and nutrition. Unfortunately, however a sizable portion of the class was related to disease and my knowledge of nutrition, while much greater than before, is still somewhat minimal.

I would like to get my hands on some books or software related to good nutrition and exercise habits. I’m not looking for anything extremely technical, but something that provides good insight and advice that an average person (I’m studying history and have little knowledge of science) can understand. Any suggestions?

I should note that I’m not looking to reduce my weight. If anything I’d like to gain some muscle mass and likely increase it.
