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!

Clearly explains what the body with your food

What did you love best about Nutrition Made Clear?

Dr Anding does an excellent job of breaking the humongous and complicated topic of Nutrition down into easily understood chunks that are just the right amount in length. Her explinations of how the body processes and makes use of the food we eat makes it real clear that it's more about how Nutrient Dense a food is and NOT simply a matter of amount of calories. She also helps in explaining portion size and how the perfect plate should look vs what we see in restaurants and what's marketed to us everyday.

So much information!!

A lot of great nutrition information from a speaker who I thought was sensible and trustworthy. I especially appreciated that nutrition needs for athletes was specifically addressed at many points, as the speaker has a lot of experience as a sports dietitian.

Some of the chapters focusing on specific nutrients felt a little boring to me, compared to other chapters which looked at bigger health issues like obesity or diabetes as a whole. But overall I appreciated the wealth of information here!

Practical and Life Changing

Each chapter starts with a real life story that pertains to the topic. Difficult chemistry concepts relating to dietary needs and use are stated in every day, easy to understand terms. Basic, practical, and realistic nutritional makes principles of good nutrition easy to apply to everyday life. I struggle with weight loss and this helped me put some critical pieces together to help me make a better plan for me.

great in depth guide to nutrition for your body

Demystifying and trustworthy. The acommpanying PDF guide to the audiobook is a great addition.

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.
