Welcome to Litsy!

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-.

I 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.

Probably the most useful book I'll read this year. Yeah, I'm old. But it's great information to really believe that you're not going insane. #16-2025

I could have learned more from a good Google🔎. The same canned advice as found everywhere🙄 Nothing particularly enlightening.

It‘s that time of the year - March Madness and reading. I always get so much read while having the games on in the background. I‘d picked this up as my mom continues to explore the more holistic approach to cancer treatment. I thought a lot of what he said was interesting but I think the chapter on faith could be problematic for some. I appreciate his messages of forgiveness and that was his experience but he shouldn‘t have pushed God so much

When I was growing up on a vegetable farm in Loudoun County, Virginia, we ate what I now call real food.

The easiest way to describe this book is the say this is the specific ways everyday sexism is used against women and their bodies in the name of science. It‘s pathetic just how many doctors are, in fact, this bad. It‘s even worse to consider that many of these doctors are also women themselves.

I knew about some of the efforts to keep the public fit in WWII, but not the experimental basis behind them, and not all of the stuff discussed here. I found this very readable and interesting.

Warning: if you're phobic about insects (or at least biting ones), be careful. There's a whole chapter on them, and I definitely had some intrusive thoughts and a nightmare because of it.

Conversations about menopause are *finally* becoming more common, but we need more of a push in the medical community to study the effects and potential treatments for it, instead of writing off all the symptoms as "just something you have to go through." ⬇️

Starting this book today by recommendation. Hoping it‘ll help me sort through the mess that is my diet. #2025nfbookchallenge #tbr Has anyone here read it?
