Interesting generally nothing completely new if you are relevant with the food sector, it has some practical ways to do a personal genetic test that where new for me that might be very useful for those who are interested
Sounds good. Have had progress already by adopting some of the guidelines so I don’t have to totally adapt to everything at once.
I absolutely love all of Dr. Moalem's books! He breaks things down in such an entertaining way. I learn so much and have fun reading at the same time! I highly recommend!
I read this book because I heard about the cracker test to determine carb tolerance. It's actually full of sensible advice on eating nutrient-rich foods, exercising, and getting enough sleep. There was surprisingly little mention of supplements and no selling of DNA testing kits. There is also little mention of topical DNA damage control, like using sunscreens etc.
Very interesting reading.
I enjoyed the author's approach to wellness in this book. He keeps it simple by making 5 key points, but I will add that some of it requires effort in finding what is needed....I guess there is always the internet for the shopping if some of this isn't available at the local grocery store. I enjoyed how he broke everything down and followed each segment with a recap. That part was well done.The segment regarding exercise was inspiring. It wasn't the same old lecture saying we all know better so
Very mixed experience. Interesting background info that isn’t properly gone through or discussed and self help book put together. Would work a lot better as two separate books, one with review of the science and motivation why this diet should work and one pure self help book.
Read this book for my local healthy living book club. It was well written and researched. I really enjoyed the chapter on oolong tea, learned how it was different than green tea as well as the chapter on Umami. I will be working to get umami in my meals.
This is one of those awesome books from Dr. Moalem, apart from the other good ones - "Survival of the Sickest", "Inheritance" and "How Sex Works". In this book, Dr. Moalem explains how Epigenetics, the things you inherited from your ancestors determine your weight when combined with your food habits. It makes sense that all the foods they ate are all encoded in the 97% of a human genome that they thought was "Junk DNA"! You got half of them from your father and half from your mother. But then wh...
This is fascinating material. I first picked up Dr. Moalem's Inheritance at the library and was amazed. So I had to read Survival of the Sickest. Again, amazing book! This DNA Restart is his newest one and I've noticed it's not written in the same witty, readable style as the other two. It's still remarkable information but he didn't write this with the help of Jonathan Prince as he did before. It's noticeable.
Excellent resource! I gleaned so much valuable information from this one. Highly recommend!
This book is awesome, awesome, awesome! So informative, eye-opening, truthful, do-able. You will be motivated to be healthier and eat right for YOU when finished.
I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway.Very interesting book. I will try to apply some of the tests suggested. I am not 100% convinced on some of the conclusions, but it is well researched
will edit after I've tried this for 28 days (or maybe after 21 days)
A MD and PhD, this doc knows his stuff!PopSugar 2020 - reread a 2019 book
I will tell you upfront, I hate dieting. It isn’t that I dislike being an optimal weight or anything like that, my issue is that it seems that there is always some new finding that put everything else to shame. I know to avoid ‘magic bullets,’ but it seems there is always something. There was the low fat craze, the Atkins diet, the South Beach diet, Paleo. I think the worst ones are the ‘fad’ diets. The ones where you can tell that they just wanted a little bit of money. The FDA doesn’t help eit...
DisappointedI had hoped for some groundbreaking information. It's the same stuff: eat a good diet, exercise, get a good night's sleep.
I found parts of the book interesting but very technical.
