I discovered the author's story and at present his only book through an episode on Impact Theory. Firstly, I would like to mention that I read this book on Kindle and it didn't have the endless scroll-down feature that I've gotten accustomed to using in my ebooks, so I had to swipe page for page. Moving on to content feedback, I would like to point out that the man is a functional medicine physician, which is considered at present under the scope of alternative medicine, typically characterized by a large number of unproven or disproved methods. He also studied chiropractic neurology and has a Master's degree in nutrition. Having said that, I nonetheless really appreciated his scientific approach. The first third of the book is entirely focused on providing a very long list of studies from official medical journals. He makes an adequate, huge effort to support his claims through available research and he also makes the reader understand the core causes of many diseases. Following this good start, he advocates for a really balanced omnivore diet, which might put off the modern vegan. But since I'm not a vegan myself, I could appreciate the content. A lot of the things he reinforces are already by this point in time either common sense or common knowledge: sleep, stress management, nutrition, exercise, etc. What makes this book special is how much well-supported information he was able to condense: explored cases, supplementation, exercise routine examples with pictures and guides, and a lengthy list of amazing recipes in the last part of the book, some of which I've found extremely delicious and easy. Sometimes he does repeat himself, but I think that might only incommodate you if you'll read the book in a few days like I did. If you plan to take your time with reading it though, the repetitions are within context and might serve as a refresher. At the end I was happy with the purchase.

This book is phenomenal and the content could drastically improve our health system. I listened to the audiobook version and will need to revisit select chapters so that I can take in all the material.
