As David Edmonds shows, answering the question is far more complex, and important, than it first appears. In fact, how we answer it tells us a great deal about right and wrong.

Leptin unlocks the truth. Everything else is noise. This is not a diet book. It’s a biological manhunt. You’ve been lied to about metabolism—from the gym floor to the doctor’s office. They told you insulin was the problem. That calories in vs. calories out still mattered. That hunger was a discipline issue. Meanwhile, your energy vanished, your fat burned out of control, your libido disappeared, and your doctor gave you another script for the symptoms. But none of it starts with insulin. It starts with leptin—the master signal of your metabolic system. When leptin goes offline, ...

Despite believing he was bionic as a child, Ira Rainey was far from an elite athlete with superhuman running abilities like the ones he read about in books. He was in fact an overweight and unfit slacker who felt a bit sorry for himself because he had sore feet. Sure he ran a bit, but he also sat around a lot and ate and drank too much. Why? Because he could, and because he was a delusional optimist who thought everything would always be just fine.

Common sense prevails in this all-inclusive look at the health issues of younger women. One of the first chapters considers the historical treatment of puberty and the results of bad medicine on the lives of women over the centuries. Even today, some of those same treatments are used in the health care of younger women. This is the question that Dr. Bright is addressing: What is best for our adolescent women today? The drugs and surgeries in mainstream medicine today, which are used to “make life better,” are shown many times to be inadequate and damaging.
