Interesting book。 Mainly about two scientists discussing why the Mediterranean diet is the best。 No processed food。 That is obvious。 Still an interesting read。

Michelle

Absolutely fantastic。 An amazing read, everything is broken down simply and logically。 It really gets you thinking about your own experiences and motivates me further to ensure I’m eating a well balanced (and highly nutritious) diet。 I can’t recommend this book enough

The two authors are scientists who have spent several decades researching a way to treat mental health disorders that has gotten very little interest by mainstream doctors。 They have studied how to use nutrition to treat disorders such as depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and others。 Specifically, what effect common nutrients have on these disorders of the brain。 There aren’t many studies done using nutrition and supplements simply because there’s no money in it。 The pharmaceutical companies h The two authors are scientists who have spent several decades researching a way to treat mental health disorders that has gotten very little interest by mainstream doctors。 They have studied how to use nutrition to treat disorders such as depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and others。 Specifically, what effect common nutrients have on these disorders of the brain。 There aren’t many studies done using nutrition and supplements simply because there’s no money in it。 The pharmaceutical companies have psychiatrists and clinics in their back pocket。 And the few studies that are done are regarding single nutrients (let’s say, B6), and the authors have discovered that you need dozens of nutrients working in conjunction with each other for results。 They advocate for a diet consisting of whole foods, cutting out all the processed junk that we eat (and I think we can all agree that eating a less processed diet will improve many aspects of our health)。 They specifically recommend following a Mediterranean diet, which I do have some reservations about, namely added oil’s and dairy (dairy is a common allergen & not well digested)。 At the end of the book they recommend some particular supplements to take。 My big issue with this is that they list a handful of companies selling a particular formulation, and most of these can only be bought online。 Quite a few people in the population can’t shop online or simply choose not to。 Also, depending on what country you live in, these companies could be difficult to order from and shipping could be prohibitive。 It would be much more helpful if there was a list of the specific vitamins and minerals along with their dosages, and then the people who couldn’t purchase those specific formulations could still benefit from the knowledge and put together their own plan。Thank you to NetGalley & Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for this advanced reader copy。 All opinions expressed in this review are my own。 。。。more
