Food Isn’t Medicine

Product Information

Ich kann dieses Buch nur empfehlen für alle die mit ihrem Gewicht etwas unzufrieden sind und sich überlegen welche Diät endlich Abhilfe schaffen könnte (die Antwort ist nämlich: gar keine, warum, erklärt Dr. Food Isn't Medicine' is great additional reading to 'What We don't Talk about When We Talk About Fat' and although it doesn't explicitly mention 'fatphobia' it does talk about how it functions in medicine . It’s not one of those books where you feel like you are stuck at some family function listening to your uncle’s cringe-worthy jokes. The ancient Greeks didn’t know what bacteria or viruses were and many people believed that diseases were punishments from the gods.

Dr Wolrich doesn’t beat around the bush he tells it like it is; it’s hard and the world is full of misinformation. I’ve followed Dr Joshua Wolrich on social media for some time – so when I saw he had a book coming out I was keen to read it. Een zeer interessant boek dat al mijn collega-artsen wel eens zouden mogen lezen, alsook iedereen die gezondheid belangrijk vindt (ik hoop dus iedereen).

When we looked at my diet I was significantly lacking in fibre – which I think harps back to a low carb phase I went through in the noughties (who didn’t?

Iets waarvan ik heel blij ben dat ik er nog eens op gewezen word, en waarvan ik weet dat veel collega-artsen het maar al te graag negeren om over te gaan op fat shaming en blaming. Every time I see a story about someone choosing a food-based or dietary-supplement-based treatment over modern medicine, I blame “Let food be thy medicine.

What I'm saying is that putting too much trust on medical advice and medications might be harmful in the same way as putting too much trust on the "gurus" from social media he is constantly criticizing and their nutribollock.If you only look at one study and don’t look at everything that’s been done in that particular field, you’re going to get a very skewed view of what’s out there. Not because I didn’t like the book – I really did – but I was nervous about what people would say and think. Either way I hope my review would be seen as a form of antithesis so it could better serve for us in the synthesis. I was lucky enough to receive an audiobook copy with thanks to the author and publishers via NetGalley, in response for honest thoughts and review.

This book is the absolute gold standard for anyone wanting to learn more about nutrition and how to keep themselves healthy. He wades through nutritional science and dissects every popular diet and debunks a lot of diet myths explaining why so much nutrition and diet advice is based on inaccuracies, bad science or just straight up lies.

However, many friends and family made suggestions of what she should try – cut out dairy / cut out wheat / low carb / anti inflammatory diet etc.

Food as medicine’ elevates the idea that food and nutrition is a cure-all and that a person has complete control over their health, dismissing other factors such as genetics and social determinants of health,” Hughes said.

Zijn doel is om de steeds groeiende groep van beïnvloedbare mensen weg te houden van agressief gemarkete en nutteloze afslankdiëten en om hun relatie met voeding gezond te houden en zo ook eetstoornissen te voorkomen. Along the way, it does give some really excellent pointers about healthy eating (healthy both for your mind and for your body) and I'm already implementing some of those.All of this sounds eminently sensible and achievable – definitely food for thought (shit pun definitely intended! After reading the book, along with education on my little bluebell course, I finally feel at peace with my body.
