good!

I really liked this book, but there is so much material to remember that it might be one where you need the hardcopy, too.

Oprah knows best

great book. lots of information. written for the medical layperson but also gives evidenced based practice principles to assist the medical professionals.

Great book

The book contains good amount of medical knowledge and explains in an easy understandable way.

They do it again.

Great information, given in a fun easy to listen to format. Highly recommend it.

A little over the top

The information in this book is good and important for healthy living. Some of it is what my mother taught me when I was growing up, but some of the science is helpful to learn about. Unfortunately, both authors go a little over the top with their use of metaphors and analogies in what feels like every sentence. Maybe in the book this works, but listening to it made me stop to try and understand how their analogy fit the topic. And while trying to figure it out, I would miss the next few sentences. It got annoying after a while. All in all, I'm still glad that I listened to the book.
