About this listen

 We all want to be healthy. But somehow the good information about how to get healthy keeps getting twisted. In The Cure for Everything! health and law expert Timothy Caulfield sets out to find the truth about what it takes to achieve a healthy lifestyle, even testing out many of the health claims on himself. He signs up for circuit training with a Hollywood trainer. He tackles a diet that really works with the help of his own Food Advisory Team (FAT). He also sends a test tube of warm spit to a genetics laboratory. Hygiene & Healthy Living Medicine & Health Care Industry Physical Illness & Disease

Critic reviews

“Caulfield . . . is no scaremongering skeptic: His cure for the mess we’re in is this lucid and well-researched compendium of the best-available science. . . . Insightful and entertaining. . . . The author is waging a noble battle against a mountain of misinformation. Gently and with humour, Caulfield guides readers through the funhouse world of health sciences with an openness and spirit of inquiry.” —National Post

“Though [Caulfield] may write with the cheerful self-deprecation of the slacker dude, he thinks with an academic’s rigor and precision and knows the health maintenance territory inside out.” —The New York Times

“An entertaining and thought-provoking exposé of many of the beliefs that some of us hold dear. . . . [Caulfield’s] writing is clear and often amusing. . . . A good read that may change the way you view your daily latte or stroll around the track at the gym.” —Winnipeg Free Press

“A humorous love letter to science. . . . Caulfield’s writing makes science fun. His cure for just about everything that ails us is insightful and . . . it’s entertaining. He offers simple, evidence-based information that’s far, far away from the magical thinking that goes with bogus health claims. . . . For a healthy dose of skepticism concerning the twisted messages, read this book.” —The Gazette (Montreal)

“Insightful.” —Maclean’s

“Entertaining and thought-provoking slam at Big Food, Big Pharma, and our own delusions. . . . Caulfield’s often hilarious, always fascinating journey unearths a few simple truths.” —Publishers Weekly

I bought the book when it first came out and enjoyed it so much that I bought this updated audio version. I wasn’t disappointed because it is well read.

The book unpacks the science of health by examining the (lack of) evidence behind alternative medicine and the games played by big pharma. He interviews leading experts and tries many health fads himself.

Great book
