Every year on August 9th, bibliophiles celebrate National Book Lovers Day, a day dedicated to the joy of reading and the love of books. The origins of this special day are somewhat mysterious, but it’s widely believed to have been created to encourage people to turn off their electronic devices and spend the day lost in the pages of a good book. 

At Austin Air, we believe that the best reading experience is one enjoyed in the comfort of a clean, healthy indoor environment. That’s why we’re thrilled to highlight some of the remarkable authors who are not only advocates of good health but also dealers of Austin Air products.

 

Dr. Doris J. Rapp

A pioneering figure in environmental medicine, the late Dr. Doris J. Rapp dedicated her career to uncovering the effects of synthetic chemicals on our health. She was best known for her New York Times bestsellers, Is This Your Child? and Our Toxic World: A Wake-Up Call

These works continue to be recommended by the American Academy for Environmental Medicine and have helped countless families recognize and mitigate the effects of environmental toxins. Dr. Rapp was a fierce proponent of Austin Air products and her contributions have been instrumental in raising awareness about the importance of maintaining a healthy living environment, a mission that aligns perfectly with Austin Air’s goals.

Dr. Anne Marie Fine

Dr. Anne Marie Fine is an internationally recognized doctor, award-winning researcher, and the founder of Fine Natural Products, LLC. Her book, Cracking the Beauty Code: How to Program Your DNA for Health, Vitality, and Younger-Looking Skin, delves into the science of gene-environment interactions and offers a comprehensive guide to achieving youthful skin through diet and lifestyle. 

Dr. Fine’s work emphasizes the significance of clean living, both inside and out, and her innovative IAMFINE® brand reflects her commitment to non-toxic, sustainable healthcare solutions. Her expertise in environmental medicine underscores the importance of good indoor air quality, making her a valuable partner for Austin Air. 

She is a frequent guest on the “Austin on the Air” podcast, sharing the latest science on holistic health.

Dr. Jack Wolfson

Known as the “Paleo Cardiologist,” Dr. Jack Wolfson is an Austin Air dealer and holistic physician who advocates for natural heart health solutions. His book, The Paleo Cardiologist, provides a step-by-step guide to preventing, treating, and reversing heart disease through lifestyle changes and organic food. 

Dr. Wolfson’s approach to medicine is deeply personal, inspired by his father’s early death and his wife’s guidance towards natural health. He emphasizes the need to address the root causes of disease rather than relying on prescription medications. Dr. Wolfson’s holistic perspective aligns with Austin Air’s mission to promote a healthy living environment free from superfluous medications or harmful substances.

Dr. Wolfson is so passionate about guiding readers that he is currently offering The Paleo Cardiologist for free, (only charging for the cost of shipping), with the code: FREEBOOK.

His extensive knowledge in this field makes him an invaluable resource for anyone looking to maintain a healthy indoor environment, a priority that Austin Air wholeheartedly supports.

Her focus on creating supportive and healthy environments for students resonates with Austin Air’s mission to provide clean air solutions that enhance well-being and quality of life.
