It was a coincidence that I first met Dr Mark Walter. I saw a copy of his book, Personal Resilience, on the cash in Trudel's hardware store, Kanata, of all places, and read the nutrition chapter right there in the store. It was bang up to date and coincident with many wellness principles as taught by IDN, though it went a lot further. Since he is local, I called him up to congratulate him on such a uniquely comprehensive book, and next thing I knew I was in his living room chatting. I didn't realize at the time that he is a leading authority in the field of lifestyle medicine and resilience enhancement. That was the start of a relationship which had me working with him for a while. I can thoroughly recommend him and his work as a wellness physician. - Tony Copple
