The books to trust for health and wellness

Avery, an imprint focusing on health, self-help, diet, and fitness, is best known for publishing cutting-edge, but accessible books from the top experts in their fields. Leading the backlist is one of the best-selling health books of all time, Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Phyllis Balch. Other top sellers include the The Juice Lady's Guide to Juicing for Life by Cherie Calbom and Maureen Keene and From Fatigued to Fantastic by Jacob Teitelbaum.

Founded in 1976, Avery quickly established itself as the most successful independent publisher of health books in the market. Penguin Group (USA) Inc. acquired it as an imprint in 1999 with a strong commitment to continue publishing respected, up-to-the-minute books with a clear focus on helping people make the most of their lives.
