review 1: Somewhere in the book it says if the only thing you change after reading this is cutting out 1. High fructose corn syrup and 2. Trans fats from your diet, it is enough for major improvement.Seems like that's my main takeaway.What irked me was that this book was filled with quizzes which profess to diagnose various nutritional deficiencies, yet even if you check none of the boxes describing various symptoms, you still are recommended to try out the 6 week programme anyway. As if everyone is "not ok".To sum this book up simply, be conscious of what you eat, because garbage in, garbage out. Also, think of things as a system, not a sum of separate parts.
review 2: This is a fascinating look at how seven factors (nutrition, hormones, inflammation, digestion, toxic b... moreuild ups, energy metabolism and stress) affect your brain function and overall health. Do you suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD)? Perhaps it's caused by vitamin D deficiency and can be treated, not with antidepressants, but with vitamin D supplements. This is only one of many examples of diseases which can be treated with foods and supplements rather than medication. Since I've changed my diet to embrace these principles, I've been feeling better mentally and physically. I highly recommend reading this book (or one of Mark Hyman's other books) if you suffer from diabetes, obesity or mental illness. less
