                                                    KEY REFERENCES
              When I give talks or answer questions, I typically do not provide citations as I go. Thus I’m providing a handful of
          key references up front, particularly for the health care professionals and medical doctors who want to dig deeper. These
          pivotal books and resources contain the references that have informed my thinking.
