Review

In everyone's life comes a time of epiphany―an event, situation, realization―that irrevocably changes life’s direction. Sometimes for the best, sometimes not. While many experience change, very few are able to leverage that experience into a form and format to help others in their own personal metamorphosis. Mr. Shanahan has indeed accomplished that monumental task. Spiritual Adrenaline will for some be an interesting read, for others an amazing awakening, but for those with similar life situations, a life-saving treatise and blueprint to follow for the rest of their life. Congratulations Tom! You have accomplished what most only dream about doing.―Michael Bedecs, DO, Medical Director of the Age Management Center

I met Tom July 11, 2011. He came in for nutrition and exercise consultation. This is from my notes from that day: ‘In my twenty-plus years of doing nutrition I believe I just met the most enthusiastic and passionate person.’ I could not be more proud of Tom for taking his passion and turning it into helping others. Spiritual Adrenaline is a must-read for everybody from all walks of life.―Mike Foley, MS, Sports nutritionist, Coauthor, Eat to Be Fit

Tom ‘walks his talk’ as a role model with fitness, food, and spirituality. He is incredibly dedicated in his work, and I find Spiritual Adrenaline beautifully captures his wisdom, passion, and motivation. It is the perfect motivational lifestyle plan for recovery and a great reference guide, filled with a wealth of practical and inspirational information that will stand the test of time.―Melanie Albert, Founder and CEO Experience Nutrition Group, LLC
