Food, We Need to Talk
The Science-Based, Humor-Laced Last Word on Eating, Diet, and Making Peace with Your Body

Author: Juna Gjata and Edward M. Phillips, M.D.

Food, We Need To Talk is a practical and fact based approach to eating and exercise. It is NOT a “diet book” but instead looks at the history, politics and culture of food and exercise. Juna Gjata uses humor and her own experiences with self-image and disordered eating alongside of Dr. Edward M. Phillips who brings the credentials of a medical doctor and assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Harvard. Although some of the information won’t be brand new to readers that keep up with the latest in nutrition and exercise there were a few things I hadn’t heard before and it busted some common myths.

It would be a helpful guide to food and fitness for readers that aren’t looking for the hot new weight loss trend or workout craze and instead want an overview of how the body works and why some approaches work/don’t work.

🎧 audiobook notes: this is well narrated by both authors. Although they aren’t professional voice actors their experience as podcasters bring a conversational style to the audiobook.

4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
