Story
From tuberculosis to bird flu and HIV to coronavirus, these infectious diseases share a common origin story: human interaction with animals. Otherwise known as zoonotic diseases for their passage from animals to humans, these pathogens - both preexisting ones and those newly identified - emerge and reemerge throughout history, sparking epidemics and pandemics that have resulted in millions of deaths around the world. How did these diseases come about? And what - if anything - can we do to stop them and their fatal march into our countries, our homes and our bodies?

The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade, but as renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, or "Dr. B", illuminates in this groundbreaking audiobook, the explosion of studies on the microbiome makes it abundantly clear that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health. What studies clearly now show - and what Dr. B preaches with his patients - is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases.

Brain Wash builds from a simple premise: Our brains are being gravely manipulated, resulting in behaviours that leave us more lonely, anxious, depressed, distrustful, illness-prone and overweight than ever before. Based on the latest science, the audiobook identifies the mental hijacking that undermines each and every one of us, and it presents the tools necessary to think more clearly, make better decisions, strengthen bonds with others and develop healthier habits.

Working with thousands of patients, Dr. Gundry has discovered that the “diseases of aging” we most fear are not simply a function of age; rather, they are a byproduct of the way we have lived over the decades. In The Longevity Paradox, he maps out a new approach to aging well - one that is based on supporting the health of the “oldest” parts of us: the microorganisms that live within our bodies.

Publisher's Summary
Dr. Lisa Mosconi, whose research spans an extraordinary range of specialties including brain science, the microbiome, and nutritional genomics, notes that the dietary needs of the brain are substantially different from those of the other organs, yet few of us have any idea what they might be. Her innovative approach to cognitive health incorporates concepts that most doctors have yet to learn. Busting through advice based on pseudoscience, Dr. Mosconi provides recommendations for a complete food plan, while calling out noteworthy surprises, including why that paleo diet you are following may not be ideal, why avoiding gluten may be a terrible mistake, and how simply getting enough water can dramatically improve alertness.
Including comprehensive lists of what to eat and what to avoid, a detailed quiz that will tell you where you are on the brain health spectrum, and 24 mouth-watering brain-boosting recipes that grow out of Dr. Mosconi's own childhood in Italy, Brain Food gives us the ultimate plan for a healthy brain. Brain Food will appeal to anyone looking to improve memory, prevent cognitive decline, eliminate brain fog, lift depression, or just sharpen their edge.

Lack of scientific research
I don’t know whether to give this a 2 for below average or 3 for interesting. There were many interesting things in the book, but it lacked scientific research. Most of it felt like her personal opinion. Some of her advice follows. All food must be organic, no GMOs. Cattle must be organic grass fed. Chickens must be raised outdoors cage free on organic food. All animals must be antibiotic and hormone free. GMOs: My understanding of GMOs: they are all different. Some corn is designed to make cattle get fatter faster. Other GMOs are trying to find a better tasting vegetable or one with more vitamins. Some GMOs are for better resistance to pests or pesticides. Some GMOs are for longer shelf lives. To my knowledge there are no studies that support the author’s recommendation to avoid all GMOs. She mentions no research. Salt: Instead of talking about how much salt to consume she says add no more than the tip of a teaspoon for the day. But the starting point is different for people depending on whether they cook or buy prepared foods. She should talk about milligrams for the day, not a tip of the teaspoon for everyone. She also recommends avoiding the commonly bought grocery store salt because it has additives. She prefers sea rock salt and pink Himalayan salt due to more minerals and no additives. But would this be undesirable? Grocery store salt might be the only way many of us get iodine in our diet. She does not discuss iodine. Water: She says there is debate over how much water we need. Some experts recommend eight 8-ounce glasses per day. So that is what she recommends. She says purified water is incapable of hydrating the brain, but she has no study or research supporting that statement. Brain neurons: The author made confusing statements about neurons. Early in book she said neurons are irreplaceable. Later in the book she said neurons continue to grow. And later she said a reduced calory diet promotes growth of new neurons. I was intrigued with Johanna’s review. She said the 1998 study by Dr. Fred H. Gage and Peter Eriksson found that the human brain can give rise to new neurons throughout life. They also found that exercise and cognitive enrichment can increase the brain’s ability to generate more neurons. This author made no mention of this. Blue Zones: Blue Zones are five regions in the world where people live to be 100. They have the lowest incidence of heart disease, obesity, diabetes and dementia. I wish the author would have given a complete list of foods consumed in each area. She did not. She mentioned a few foods in each area. I did find some of the differences interesting. Italy: fish, olive oil, coffee Icaria, Greece: coffee Okinawa, Japan: fish, green tea, brown rice, soy products Costa Rica: white rice, coffee Loma Linda California: no coffee or tea India: Americans are 8 times more likely to get Altzheimers than Indians. Although Indians have shorter lives. Some believe that curry spices (turmeric and cumin) are the reason for the lower rate of Alzheimers. But there haven’t been enough studies to prove it. A thought: none of the Blue Zones consume curry. AUDIOBOOK NARRATOR: Norah Tocci was fine. DATA: 368 pages. Book Copyright: 2018. Genre: Health Nonfiction.

Standard line on diet. Nothing new here.
Even though I start the review saying there's nothing new here, let me be clear that I do not mean that as an endorsement of the content. Unfortunately, I was suckered into purchasing and reading/listening to this book based on how the author's qualifications were marketed. It turns out, she says nothing new about diet than what you hear in the mainstream press. Her nutritionist credentials are questionable (look them up) because the "certificate" she received comes from a place not well known for quality or cutting edge nutritionist training. But this isn't an ad hominem based on those credentials, rather it's based on how the book is sold as the 'Surprising science' behind the diet she recommends; there's nothing surprising and very little strong science behind the recommendations. If you have never heard of the so-called Mediterranean diet (an umbrella term that proponents use to justify their eating tastes and habits, as long as it includes olive oil, fish and red wine), then this is as good an introduction as any. But be aware that nutrition science is more unclear on what she promotes than she or anyone else lets on. And nutrition science has some actually more surprising conclusions bandied about than what you find here. She toes the line on what one is supposed to say about nutrition these days and she does nothing to challenge received wisdom.

Disappointed
After hearing the author talk in TMHS podcast I expected in depth details on various processes related to nutrition of the brain. I was disappointed when hearing only fairly superficial information, even combined with outdated advice on for example cholesterol. Also, "the brain runs exclusively on glucose". Really? Peanuts are not nuts... Soy is not healthy.

Chapter 18 is simply a whole load of recipes listed - this is ridiculous and really spoils the whole book which is otherwise very informative. Problem would be solved by providing a PDF of this chapter. Narrator's voice is relatively monotone and somewhat irritating.

A pdf and descriptive chapter names
PDF copy is required. Reference of images were made which is nonexistent. A pdf copy with the images. Chapters could be named as meaningful descriptive names that summarises the chapter contents as opposed to typical 1, 2, 3. Even in the title description this information in not given. Narrator’s voice could be a lot more animated. It was hard work and quite boring to listen to. Otherwise the book is good.
