I loved this audiobook. It gave me so much insight and really motivated me to change up my diet.

Eat more naturally is the point

While I appreciate the research and information contained herein, eat more naturally and close to the earth is the answer. I appreciate that the recommended food groups and diet are evidence based, and the PDF they refer you to at the beginning is 72 pages of a wealth of knowledge.

Very informative, but buy the book

Loved this audible book, but he references a PDF that is not provided, so you will need to buy the book anyway. The PDF provided is only of Chapter 9 recipes.
