Dr. Terry Wahls links micronutrient starvation to the epidemics of chronic disease that are overtaking modern society. She explains the key roles mitochondria play in maintaining a healthy brain and body. Americans are eating so poorly, something we all know to be true, that the majority of Americans are missing key building blocks that are needed for brain cells to be healthy. The result is an epidemic of depression, aggression, multiple sclerosis and early dementia. She then teaches you how to eat for healthy mitochondria, a healthy brain and a healthy body in language that is clear and concise, even for those without a science background. In this book, Dr. Wahls explains basic brain biology in simple terms. She tells us what vitamin, mineral and essential fat building blocks are needed by the mitochondria and other key structures in the brain. Then she explains what foods are good sources for those key nutrients. Over a hundred recipes are provided to help get you started on this new way of eating. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be used to fund research into the benefits of these interventions in others.

No PDF

The book is confusing to listen to. It keeps citing page numbers that are read as such as 132-137. Also, it appears to be read by a computer as it will correctly pronounce a word and then immediately pronounce it incorrectly. It is full of medical jargon so if you don’t know, medical terminology, you will find it difficult to listen to it has chapter after chapter of recipes which are read and there is no PDF that I can find. It is also heavy on meat recommendations which as a vegetarian does me no good.
