Lynn L., Registered Nurse: Belongs in Every Doctor’s Office. Every Patient’s Home. I highly recommend this book to anyone contemplating total hip replacement. And to any medical provider who has qualms about recommending this book because he or she does not feel comfortable with any or all of the non-traditional therapies Tiffany used, I say, by all means, share the same caveat Tiffany herself consistently gave throughout her book each time she wrote about using an alternative treatment or medicine that worked for her: “Ask your doctor.”

Terri B., LCSW: “The enhanced healing techniques she provides offer a plethora of options to try. As a mental health practitioner, I am always seeking resources to provide to clients. And I am grateful to have this read, not just as a medical resource, but also a very inclusive guide for pre- and post surgery.”

Leslie P., ND: “I am so grateful Tiffany wrote this book! Even though it is specific for those going through hip replacement, her advice is relevant for most any type of surgery.”

Janine G., Patient: “Sadly, I didn’t know about this book until AFTER I had already had a hip replacement. I would recommend her book to anyone facing this decision.”

Amazon Customer: “Around the same time she had her first hip replacement I had a knee replacement and so many things in her book I could relate to. I was going to have my other knee replaced this year, but as she indicates in her book that a few pounds off will do wonderful things for your joints, this past year I have taken off some weight and it is true, I know I will need a knee replacement in the future but my knee felt so much better with some weight off of it. If you have had a hip replacement or are going to have your hip replaced this book is a good resource for helping you before and after the procedure.”

Butternut to Bionic is an affordable, and easy-to-read guide that is both conversational and friendly. One reader commented that while reading she felt she was sitting down and having tea with the author. Tiffany’s website and business, Anderson Therapeutics, alongside this book exist to inspire and empower others to improve their quality of life.
