A very interesting and important read

I had resistance at first to reading this book but am glad I listened to it. I will listen again. I learnt a lot and am inspired to change my diet. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their health.

evolutionary yet so simple.

I enjoyed it and I liked the narrator. It was straightforward and made perfect sense. I would recommend it to any interested in taking control of their own health journey.

Excellent insights

Not sure what the negative reviews were expecting. This is a great tool for understanding and hopefully unpicking the mess that evolution has brought us to internally. Will listen to again.

Brilliant guidance to a happier life-

I loved this book and follow the author’s talks on YouTube

Our bodies aren’t designed to eat processed foods & animals (the way they are mass produced in modern day).


All of it made perfect sense to me and I have switched from Vegetarian to PB Vegan for my health and for my future happiness x

Utterly fundamental and life changing

This book is about the probably most fundamental insights of my life. Can't recommend it enough. Has opened my eyes after years of struggle with food and enabled me tofinally eat how I rationally know is in my best interest. Again, utterly fundamental for absolutely everyone.

we'll structured and factual

easy to follow, uses good examples and also easy to listen to. good tips when fasting but was surprised that it was all down to diet in this one, a deeper look from the prospective of professional research that oppose common medical practice.
