Thoughts & Impressions
This book was a super helpful tool to have at my disposal while in the midst of dealing with my health. It prevented me from jumping head first into the naturopath world without any concrete reason to. It’s kept me grounded in my search and quest for answers.
What I Liked About It
Pretty much everything.
What I Didn’t Like About It
I wish I could just listen to her debunk the wellness industry all the time.

How the Book Changed Me
It has helped me feel more grounded in my trust of science, especially in a moment where I easily could have spiraled out of control with it.

It's probably a 3.5 but I rounded up to a 4 because there are some really good points made. It's a generalist book, not a specifics book, but it's a good launching point to look a little deeper at the issue.

Terrible. I couldn't actually finish. I'll be the first to say there are issues & concerns and "traps" in the wellness industry. 100% there are. Yet this author makes broad strokes, generalizes far too much and actually agrees with Big Pharma more than she says she does (who yes, also has their hands in "Big Supplements" as well - no one's disagreeing with that, although she doesn't seem to see the connection issue there....)
She shared several stories from people, and it's awful what they've gone through in the name of health, yet it's not enough to throw the entire "wellness industry" under the bus. I mean, let's not throw the baby out with the bath water! Rather, let's use wisdom and discernment realizing both sides are flawed...
