Every time we eat, we have the power to radically transform the world we live in. Our choices can help alleviate the most pressing issues we face today: the climate crisis, infectious and chronic diseases, human exploitation and, of course, non-human exploitation. Undeniably, these issues can be uncomfortable to learn about but the benefits of doing so cannot be overstated. It is quite literally a matter of life and death.

The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade, but as renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, or "Dr. B", illuminates in this groundbreaking audiobook, the explosion of studies on the microbiome makes it abundantly clear that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health. What studies clearly now show - and what Dr. B preaches with his patients - is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases.

Really great book with examples of real athletes
Narrator was good and easy to listen to. Book was well done. This was my first book on plant based nutrition and now I'm on the search for more. I'm not an athlete but it's given me encouragement to become more active and to stick to this healthier way of eating.

Love the POD, Love the Book.
Great Book! I am an avid listener of the NMA Pod and loved the book. If you are not plant-based, considering going plant-based or are already plant-based this book is full of inspiring stories and helpful information. Understanding how to eat specific combinations of food, and how to ensure you are eating the right portions of food type I found very useful. Great Job Matt & Robert I really enjoyed the book and I am grateful for your expertise.

talks about famous athletes the whole book
the whole book is this guy talking about famous athletes in a condescending douche bag tone. terrible book. it's just trying to convince you to be plant based rather than just giving the info you want. like turds, I'm already sold on plant based before I bought the book, thats not why I needed the book. I want to know wtf to eat and I dont give a heck about how fast this one girl runs.
