Publisher's summary

Nutrition is essential to living a healthy, happy, and successful life. Yet a world of misconceptions and promises of easy results too often stands in our way - and can even be harmful to our overall health.

The key is to cut through the noise and find the medically backed, statistically proven information about healthy eating and living. These 36 in-depth lectures explore the fundamentals of good nutrition and offer a practical guide for applying these fundamentals to your lifestyle. The power of nutrition lies not just in grasping the concepts behind it, but also in applying those concepts to daily living. This means learning where to find authoritative nutrition information, mastering the science behind nutrients and the body, recognizing what your personal daily requirements of each nutrient should be, building a distinct exercise regimen, and more.

A dietitian and award-winning lecturer, Professor Anding gives you a wealth of invaluable tips you can easily apply to your own eating habits. You'll learn how to calculate your own dietary needs, how to create your own nutrition and exercise plans, how to recognize when a product or service is really a health fraud, and more.

Amazing book!

I think everyone should listen to this book, explains all about nutrition and really helps to understand how food works

Best Nutrition Series (or book) of which I’ve listened

I have an MS in nutrition (animal) and have studied the topic through out my career and this is the best Best Nutrition Series (or book) of which I’ve listened (the accompanying PDF notes are very useful). This was a great investment of my time. …. one humorous note; if the word “AGAIN” were removed from her speech cadence the lectures might be shorter….. she interjects “again” once or twice per minute. Just tolerate the “again” the series is tremendous!

Simple to understand and fills in some basic gaps

Helped me understand some questions I had about nutrition without all the media hype and advertising.

Everyone should listen to this

Dr. Anding provides very valuable information in this lecture series. There’s a lot of it and at first it feels a bit overwhelming. But it is in fact a cleaned-up and more digestible version of the science of nutrition (pun intended).

With this in mind, I recommend you listen to all of it carefully, but listen especially closely to the material that is relevant to you and yours.

It may sound corny, but I found some of the information life-altering. My family and I have changed our eating habits accordingly and I’m grateful to Dr. Anding for pointing us in the right direction.

Do yourself a big favour and listen to this excellent lecture series.

Worth it!

I am a physician, & I learned from this Audiobook! My nutrition training has been poor. This was an excellent comprehensive overview, enjoyable, with my only critique that transitions between subtopics is come times too fast. The presenter is very passionate about Nutrition & Health. I loved how each chapter started with a story. Recommend it!

I love it so much. everybody should read it!!!!

this is a mush for every living human being, specially Doctors who people put their trust in, about their health.

Lots of good information. Everyone would benefit from listening to this book.

Lots of good information. Everyone would benefit from listening to this audio book. Thank you.

Stop harming yourself and your children. Must read

It is a strugle to live amongst others who are not concerned in any way with healthy lifestyle. It is agonizing to see the population committing slow suicide. Take this book, absorb it and apply the lessons. In good conscience you will be able to say I did what was right for my self and my children won't suffer illnesses because of me.

A must listen

If you want to educate yourself on a healthy you, this is awesome. The material is precise, but more important her delivery to you is smooth and inviting. What more do you want in an audio book.

Best course so far

I have listened to four or five other courses in the Great Courses series and have experienced varying degrees of satisfaction. This course, however, is easily the best yet.

The lecturer is engaging and I rarely found myself "checking out" while listening. She is incredibly well-qualified and I loved the way she organized each lecture.

I honestly will likely listen to this series again in the future. There is so much to take in and she does not skimp on detail.
