pickI listened to this book in March, & I love it! The narrator is great—she gets all the sarcastic comments right. Warning—This book will probably make you mad about the history of women‘s medical treatment. I learned so much. I think it‘s obvious in our history that 1) men are terrified of women & our vaginas & 2) men only care about a woman‘s uterus. I laughed while driving several times from the sarcasm, so I hope you all will read this. 5⭐️
Oh dear, I think we might have a problem here.
She's talking about the SNS and PNS (sympathetic and para-sympathetic nervous systems) except it sounds like she is saying "penis", which results in startling clauses such as "women with a dominant penis...". And it comes up a lot! (Oh God, now even that innocuous sentence is loaded with Freudian subtext! ?)
pickThere were some surprising facts in this book that made it really interesting. I think anyone with a beating heart could learn something from this book. It also discusses the challenges to making greater strides in medical treatment for heart conditions around the world. It‘s really amazing what this little, fist sized muscle in your chest can do.

No citation was given for this statistic, but I would certainly be interested in hearing more about this. That really seems like a lot.

Planck suggests eating real, whole foods, including pasture-raised beef and chicken, plus butter, cheese, and eggs from those animals. She also suggests that raw milk is as safe as pasteurized milk if it comes from a reputable supplier.
I use butter from grass-fed cows and imported from Ireland (imagine the price going forward with the crazy new tariffs).
She does a huge data/info dump throughout. Often, my eyes glazed over. 😵💫🙄 Overall A-.
pickI really enjoyed this book! I feel like I have learned a lot from it and can‘t wait to start using what I have learned in my daily meal habits. There is some super helpful information in this book; and I highly suggest reading it if you find yourself disliking our Western medicine practices or are looking for alternative methods for healing.
