An interesting subject matter for sure. Didn't realize how much gut health affected so much of our other systems. Would love to get a physical copy to keep on hand to reference.

Was not expecting this to be a diet book - I think I borrowed this from the library when looking for books on burnout.
The surprising focus on diet wasn’t what led to the 2 stars, though. It was just so repetitive, and promoting some spices/alternative Ayurvedic treatment rubbed me the wrong way. I found it inspiring in the sense of eating cleaner, but thought it regurgitated an repeated a lot of things I already knew… If you’re interested, just skip to the last chapter to get her main points.

As a warning: this has a lot of content around intermittent fasting. I was unaware of how often it would be mentioned and as someone with an ED in my history, felt uncomfortable with that.
What I liked: science backing Ayurveda and facts on chronic inflammation, as well as the food recommendations.
What I didn't like: the push for IF and circadian fasting. As someone with PCOS, this wouldn't be a realistic option for me and unfortunately took up most of the book.
I would have liked fewer testimonials and more science. Less diet talk, more science. Honestly, I just want more science overall.

I’m not the audience for this book. This will be a much more helpful guide for people with no disabilities whatsoever. I’m blind, and many blind people have completely distorted circadian rhythms due to the distorted light information, or lack thereof that our eyes get.
This book was more like a “one size” plan that kept saying “but do whatever works for you,” as a cope out.
It still has helpful information on a more healthy nutrition, but again, this is for average people who can afford all those organic foods, so this is not for people under the poverty line who eat whatever they can afford. Middle of the road, but it still has some good information.
