Dr. A's Habits of Health: The path to permanent Weight Control and Optimal Health by Wayne Scott Andersen

informative reflective medium-paced

3.0

From eating the most appropriate foods America provides us (and it’s not much) to portion control and frequency to levels of activity to getting more sleep, this book covers how to achieve optimal health. 

In additional to all of that, this health program is the first thing that stopped my migraines with aura flashes and harsh blood sugar crashes through recommendations for hydration, cutting out alcohol and sugar, trying new movement activities, and learning to choose the healthiest food options available to us.

I did give it a 3 because I didn’t appreciate some of the toxic diet culture language used. I highly recommend they hire a Gen Z editor to republish a version that is more sensitive and politically correct in those instances.

I’m sure we’ve all seen at least one scary food documentary, and this book breaks down the science behind why and how this health program works to bring us to our most energized and healthy selves, taking what’s already been proven into account.  Please know that this program (when followed exactly) does market itself as a weight loss tool, but it’s so much more than that and I wish they advertised the other perks more.
