I learned so much about inflammation, the causes and science behind our bodily response to our enviroment and stressors. The author journey and struggle with Endo felt familar and it was lovely to feel the support without the blame. I would have liked more info on ceryain aspects like lymphatic drainage but I know her app has videos. I look forward to trying a gentle reset and seeing how it works.

I’ve followed Sophie for a while on Instagram and her tips and advice have helped me to start my journey to better health. So when I saw she’d been working on a book I was pretty excited to try it.

I’m happy to say that despite it being a lot more on the scientific backed side in terms of the advice given, I still found Sophie’s personality shone through throughout the book. She shared a lot of her personal experience within the book, just as she does online and it’s so good to see the difference the anti inflammatory lifestyle has brought to her life.

I have read many health and lifestyle books over my years and to be honest some of them are either bland or pushy and I found Sophie’s book to be a breath of fresh air in that sense. She guides you through the 6 pillars of anti inflammatory living with kindness, first hand experience and scientific backed advice but without being pushy.

I loved that there are three options at the end of the book to give you the chance to try anti inflammatory living for yourself, but there are levelled options rather than suddenly maybe going from a sedentary lifestyle and processed food to full on exercise and anti inflammatory overnight!

The book ends with some delicious looking recipes, which I will definitely be trying out! Look out work crew when I hit you with healthy cookies 🤣

All in all a fantastic look at the benefits of anti inflammatory living and the benefits it can bring. As someone who has already started to make some of the changes shown in the book, I can attest to the fact that it really does make a difference. If you are at all curious I would say, pick up the book and give Sophie chance to show you what benefits it can bring. Especially to those of us who are approaching or going through perimenopause or menopause.

A very readable and well researched book with lovely pictures and tempting recipes. It's holistic in that it addresses all causes of inflammation - stress, poor sleep, exercise, mindfulness- and builds guidance for these into the three different plans.
Richards explains how food fights or fuels inflammation. At the start of the mission to solve her problems, she discovered that some so-called healthy foods were not helping.
The recipes are mouth wateringly delicious. It's important to view this lifestyle as a blueprint for your future, not just a "diet". It's not intended for weight loss. Eating high quality protein and fats keeps us satiated, and there's plenty for an interesting diet.
The recipes indicate if they're suitable for vegetarians, if they contain grains and so on. Most are family friendly.
Many of the ingredients can be found in a well stocked store cupboard. I can't wait to start adding the recipes to my repertoire. The first recipes I'm going to try are spiced lentil and chorizo soup, pistachio crusted cod, Greek style lamb chops and grilled spice salmon.

This was everything I needed to read! I’ve been interested in nutrition and UPF reduction for some months now and this book seemed to lead perfectly on from that and made me feel so heard with my yet undiagnosed women’s health issues. I really feel empowered and like I have an opertunity to give the 30 day reset a real chance and see what changes I can make to my symptoms. The recipies (that I’ve tried so far) are LUSH- I’m addicted to the lemonade in it now haha! This is a book I will come back to time and time again for the recipies alone, and hopefully for the reset plan… I will reserve judgement on the recommended advice until my 30 days and more are completed, but so far I feel far less bloated, more energetic and have far less sugar cravings so fingers crossed it will help! I only dropped a star off this review as I was disappointed to notice quite a few spelling mistakes and errors which I was really surprised about with this being a penguin published book.

3.5 stars.

As somebody with PCOS, I like to read non-fiction around hormones and health. This didn't necessarily provide me with any new information, but it was easy to read, detailed and includes ideas for a 30 day reset.

There was quite a few spelling errors which always hit a bit of a nerve with me as this is what rounds of edits are for, and it was a handful which could have been avoided.

Otherwise, a great read from Sophie and her fight for women's health is admirable.

I love how informative this Anti-Inflammatory reset is. I also love the aesthetics of the book. The colors, font, and layout was so pleasant to read and almost calming while looking through it. I felt like the information at the beginning was very easy to understand and not overwhelming. The recipes look good, and there are even sweet snacks as well! This is definitely a book I will be using for meals in the future. Thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow for this eARC.

I feel like this was the book I needed to anchor everything I already knew about blood glucose and insulin resistance.
I have found understanding the science behind how our bodies work is a game changer in keeping a commitment to look after my body.
This is will be reread again and again to embed the knowledge and support my health journey.
