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.

Since the introduction of dietary guidelines calling for reduced fat intake in the 1970s, a strange phenomenon has occurred: Americans have steadily, inexorably become heavier, less healthy, and more prone to diabetes than ever before. After putting more than two thousand of his at-risk patients on a wheat-free regimen and seeing extraordinary results, cardiologist William Davis has come to the disturbing conclusion that it is not fat, not sugar, not our sedentary lifestyle that is causing America’s obesity epidemic—it is wheat.

In Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine, naturopathic doctor Lee Know tells the epic story of mitochondria - the widely misunderstood and often-overlooked powerhouses of our cells. The legendary saga began over two billion years ago, when one bacterium entered another without being digested, which would evolve to create the first mitochondrion. Since then, for life to exist beyond single-celled bacteria, it's the mitochondria that have been responsible for this life-giving energy.

Why do most diets fail? Why does one person eat a certain meal and gain weight, while another eating the same meal loses pounds? Why, despite all the advice about what to eat, are we all still getting fatter? The answers are much more surprising - and fascinating - than we've been led to believe. The key to health and weight loss lies not in the latest fad diet, nor even in the simple mantra of 'eat less, exercise more', but in the microbes already inside us.

Finally

Summary
Debilitating brain disorders are on the rise - from children diagnosed with autism and ADHD to adults developing dementia at younger ages than ever before. But a medical revolution is underway that can solve this problem. Astonishing new research sheds light on the influence of the human microbiome in every aspect of health, including your nervous system.
In Brain Maker, Dr Perlmutter explains the connection between intestinal microbes and the brain, describing how the microbiome develops from birth and evolves based on the environment, how it can become 'sick', and how nurturing gut health through a few easy strategies can alter your brain's destiny for the better.
With simple dietary recommendations and a highly practical program of six steps to improving gut ecology, Brain Maker opens the door to unprecedented brain health potential.

Pseudo science ... avoid
If you like reading or listening to a book that is akin to religious indoctrination, this is the book for you. The writer, who is a doctor, has a selective mind that is largely closed to science and reason, except when an academic article confirms his beliefs.
The book is full of taboos, such as gluten and fruit, presented in a way that is almost laughable (ok, so I did enjoy some of it!). There is no analysis of for instance the role of sourdough fermentation.
Sadly, the author’s style and tone is one of conversion: eat my diet, and my recipes, and all will be well. Unfortunately life and science is more complicated.
If you are interested in the fascinating science and research about the microbiology of our gut, avoid this book. Another popular book, 10% Human, offers a more balanced and insightful introduction to this important subject.

Planning to listen to it again
As a vegan I take some of the information with a grain of salt, but I learned so many new things and I plan to listen to it again, as it can get quite technical and heavy with scientific terms. You can skip the technicalities and remember the essence, but I love a bit of science and want to make sure I know my “whys”.
