so-so3 Stars • "Good Energy" by Casey and Calley Means argues that metabolic health is key to preventing and reversing diseases. They link modern lifestyle issues to metabolic problems and offer a practical four-week plan to optimize health through diet, sleep, exercise, and stress management. It's a blend of science and actionable advice for better health.

so-soI loved the perspective of a 102 year old doctor who‘s focused on treating the whole person. Here, she focuses on what matters most in life, essentially how to be happy/content even when facing challenges like grief, illness, the breakdown of a marriage (drags her ex husband and I‘m here for it). I listened to the audio which featured a few clips from Gladys. The main problem for me was the “heal your cancerous tumor by fasting” vibes. Like what?
My library haul for today. I was there for the tagged book, which came in as a hold, but I grabbed a few others. The “blind date with a book“ ones had been set up for Christmas, and I felt bad that so many had been left unborrowed, so I scooped up any that were fantasy/SF.
They were Raymond E. Feist's King of Ashes, Karen Lord's The Blue Beautiful World, and Zen Cho's Spirits Abroad, which I miiiight have already read, I'll have to check.
pickMy concerns about the newer version of this book were unfounded. The sections about the concerning cosy relationships between industry and scientists / regulators in the UK is at the end of the book alongside a new section on what happened after the hardback was published.
Recommended read - non-judgmental, compassionate and wide ranging.
Revisiting this in the eBook form. It now has an additional chapter detailing what happened with Big Food after the initial hardback publication which I'm looking forward to.
I don't have the original hardback now but I'm sure the earlier chapters have quite a lot of structural change. Notably a large early section which detailed the problematic closeness of food researchers to industry funding.

Eye-opening and so informative! I feel so seen listening to this book by a doctor who specializes in menopause (after going through it herself).
A friend recommended it to me today when I told her about the strange, intense shoulder pain I‘ve been having lately. It‘s called “frozen shoulder”—I‘m not the only one!
Not the best brain book I‘ve read recently. Not the best book about dreams I‘ve read. I feel like the author might be trying to dumb down the info and the writing is boring.
Ugh I hate that I need to read this 🤣
