Mostly awesome

Good info in this book -- recommended for additional reading by Dr. Mercola (Fat for Fuel) so I got it from the library. I will get my own copy soon, and at least one of Dr. Gundry's recipe books. My skepticism is in regard to his pooh-poohing protein combining, insisting all protein, plant or animal is basically the same. I was vegetarian through two pregnancies, and have children with neurological damage because of it, so I do suspect he's wrong there. But I'm interested to see how the plant paradox mitochondrial repair system works on me. Mercola's helped a lot, but hasn't quite been enough -- asthma, etc.

Plant Paradox

I love the recipes I’ve tried so far and appreciate how healthy they are.

Greatest Health Book Ever

I have enjoyed this book more than any other health book. He is conscious about the material.
