Solid, scientific basis for good health
I found this an extremely interesting run through the current evidence on what works and what doesn't in terms of achieving good health. There were few surprises but what is here is a demonstration of the science that underpins a common sense approach. Recommended.

Well worth listening to.
I am interested in health and personal development. I appreciated the accent on evidence based practice. The lectures were clear, but assumed some knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Really good.

Well worth a listen.
Not a huge amount of ground breaking new information here but it is very solid and based on good science and common sense. Dr Goodman is enjoyable to listen to, although the odd time I missed some of the things because of his accent or being a bit soft spoken and I had to rewind. I definitely would recommend anyone interested in health and well-being to listen to this. The time listening to it passed very well and I was never bored.

Fantastic course pitched at just the right level and packed full of helpful advice, anecdotes to promote a healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Goodman has organised every topic logically, illustrates with exaples and hard earned experience whilst narrating with a warm friendly tone. Highly recommended indeed!

A lot of useful lessons
An interesting audiobook. Been written but a primarily retired doctor with many years of relevant experience, it appears genuine and it seems to lack the conflict of interest of other books on the subject of health, longevity and nutrition. There are quite a few takeaways that I will try to incorporate in my life going forward

Excellent delivery of good sense advice
Dr Goodman does a great job of making the material accessible while still giving a good depth of detail about each topic. Each lecture is a good length and moves at a nice place.

a great course
thank you Dr.Goldman for a great course. I agree with 99% of things taught in here, but I learned that vaccines are poison in my research. Dr Susanne Humphries is the expert I listen about vaccines.

Felt like I was an awful lot older by the end
I'm not sure if this is a 3 or a 4 to be honest. The performance was a bit dull to listen to for so many hours with little to no humour or anything more engaging. I thought the information was on the whole pretty obvious and felt a bit laboured.
Main points seemed to be:
1. Exercise
2. Eat wholefoods and a varied diet. Organic preferably (and the Mediterranean diet)
3. Avoid saturated fats
4. Try and avoid stress
5. Try mindfulness
6. Pack in smoking (and probably drinking)
7. Keep your connections with people (though he's not sure why)
There was more to it than that, but that was the main thrust of it all.
It wasn't very Americanised I didn't think with only a couple of chapters discussing American specific things and they didn't really mess up the message.
Exercise he recommended seemed very personalise and I was very surprised that he advised martial arts (which he used to do) and I'm not sure that's what the older people out there would think of that.
I thought some of the dietary information was a little out of date and I felt that a lot of it was lacking older evidence. Some of the things that he advised (e.g. turmeric is only useful against inflammation in huge doses) were not correct or had limited information to support them.
It was okay and has made me get back into exercise and switch to cholesterol lowering fats, but very little else. Keeping active seems to be the main thing that he advises over all else.
