As the founder of the practice that integrates traditional and functional medicine, Dr. Aziz focuses on addressing  the root cause of disease. He is the author of "The Perfect 10 Diet," a book that challenged outdated dietary guidelines. It is a book that was ahead of its time since it went against established medical guidelines for its position against fake fats promoted by the Amercian Heart Association, and the Harvard food pyramid. He advocated a balanced, natural diet with satuarted fats in 2010 long before the new USDA food Pyramid was introduced in 2026.

Dr. Michael Aziz was among the first doctors to alert the public on national TV about  the danger of seed oils, and transfats 20 years ago, long before the media caught on.  Dr. Aziz was also among the first doctors to alert the public about the dangers of both low-carb and keto diets since nitrites in processed meats have been linked to many types of cancer.

He also made it on the cover of "First for Women," one of the largest magazines in the United States. The Perfect 10 Diet became an instant bestseller. The Perfect 10 Diet hit the number one spot on Amazon for 12 consecutive weeks in 2011, and was picked up to be translated into several foreign languages including; Italian, Chinese, Mandarin, Slovenian, Urdu, Malay, and Indonesian. Dr. Aziz and The Perfect 10 Diet were featured on countless TV shows including "The View," "The Doctors," "Fox and Friends," and "Dr. Oz." He has been a guest on hundreds of radio shows, podcasts, The Mel Robbins show, and NPR.  It was the  start of his  national exposure.    

In 2025, Dr. Aziz published his second book, "The Ageless Revolution." It is the first book on the market that addresses aging as a disease. It is a new concept in medicine since it targets cellular malfunction. Alarmed by the high mortality rates in the US during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Aziz emphasizes the need for proactive health measures to improve healthspan, and prolong lifespan. His approach integrates traditional and functional medicine aiming to treat aging rather than treating chronic age-related diseases using supplements, hormone replacement, and peptides. 

The second book was also an immediate bestseller, hitting the number 1 spot in anti-aging, longevity, menopause, and holistic medicine categories on Amazon for several weeks. The book was also picked up  to be translated into several foreign languages including Portuguese ( Brazil), Polish, and Chinese.
