MY BOOK LIST

This book is my literal health bible. If you’ve ever traveled with me, visited my home, or asked me a health or wellness question and I said, 'Let me do some research,' you can bet I checked this book first! It’s hands down the best money I’ve ever spent.

It even helped me reverse my high cortisol and adrenal fatigue (with the help of The Adrenal Reset) in less than two months.

The Inflammation Spectrum" includes a self-quiz to help you understand your body's level of inflammation, along with simple steps to reduce it and feel better. This was the first book I read on inflammation, and it truly opened my eyes to the world of non-toxic living and the importance of managing low inflammation for overall health.

Literally 5 stars, 10/10 recommend. I think every person should read this book. It would solve so many problems we see and struggle with in this world. Must read for sure.

I thought this book was a really cool read - helps to understand the “death by a million paper cuts” theory and how the decisions we make around food will lower our level of exposure to toxins and poor habits that impact our health.

Emphasizes the critical link between health and fertility, showing how environmental factors affect our genes and influence generations over time. The book explores how food and everyday products impact our hormones, cognitive functions, and overall health, contributing to the rising rates of chronic diseases, obesity, and financial strain. It offers important insights into how these factors are making us sicker, fatter, and poorer year after year.

Helped me reset my cortisol the right way because most of the articles and resources I found online provided inaccurate information. Also helped me organize my foods to support my energy levels and quality of sleep!

It took me a little longer to get through this book because each chapter was packed with so much information that it felt like my brain was exploding. I needed space in between to fully digest and critically think about the topics covered.

The Obesity Code was a game changer for me, as it challenged the traditional view of weight loss focused solely on calories in versus calories out. The book dives deep into the role of hormones, particularly insulin, in weight management. It helped me understand that weight gain and loss are influenced by more than just what we eat and how much we exercise. I don’t fully support intermittent fasting, but the general understanding of foods is really helpful.

Quick read for how to make small changes that have big impacts for longevity.

This book explains how certain 'healthy' carbs, like whole grains, can contribute to conditions such as dementia, ADHD, epilepsy, anxiety, chronic headaches, depression, and even decreased libido. It also dives into the importance of the microbiome and how gut health plays a key role in brain function. Plus, it provides practical tips for improving brain health at any stage, helping you take control of your well-being.

This book helped me understand how ketosis works in the body. It also includes some great recipes that can easily be adapted to fit any lifestyle.

I picked up this book to see if the information aligned with what I was learning about inflammation—and it definitely did. The book focuses on how to avoid foods that trigger inflammation, which can lead to chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's, cancer, and arthritis, just to name a few.

Like his other book, Zero Belly Diet, this one dives into how sugar affects our health and the hidden ways it's added to nearly everything we eat, keeping us craving more. It also includes helpful recipes and meal ideas to reduce sugar intake and improve your overall health.

I picked up Toxic Superfoods after a few doctors suggested I might have oxalate overload. After reading the book and reflecting on my symptoms, it was ruled out, but the book still offered valuable insights. It helped me better understand why veganism fails for most and highlighted the dangers of plant-based foods.

After extensive research on food and health, the connection between cognitive health and overall wellness began to become clear. This book was one of the first I read that helped me understand the strong link between mental and physical health.

Truth: I really wanted to like/have success with this book - I was so excited when I got it beacsue it came so highly recommended from a few people, but after trying my blood type diet for about 4-6 weeks I didnt feel much better or have any success. To be my own devil’s advocate, I hadn’t fixed my cortisol/adrenal issues at the time so that may have played a large role, but even so, I wouldn’t try this one again. But everyone is different and I do know several people who loved this diet, so who knows, it may work for you.

I read this when I worked with a nutritionist for a few months and she was considering putting me on a low FODMAP diet. After reading, I definitely relate to a few of the symptoms/showed some intolerances to the FODMAP food group, but nothing that showed the diet was beneficial for me personally. But if you’re someone who has trouble eating foods like garlic, onions, apples, beans, dairy, grains, etc. then this book could potentially help alleviate a lot of digestive discomfort.
