Happy Weekend 👋

Fun fact: our book reviews may look like they’re sponsored, but they’re not; we simply read books and review them. Which is why sometimes you’ll see criticism in the review, and sometimes, very occasionally, you’ll see us outright trash a book that we read but wouldn’t recommend at all!
Check out our book review archive!

In today’s email we cover why intermitting fasting (and also GLP-1 drugs) don’t work for some people (and what to do instead), as well as a great, low-impact full-body exercise that you can do at home that improves strength, stability, and more, and how to get better blood sugar levels.

Do you have an iPhone? If so, there are countless little features that most iPhone users don’t know exist, like this one ← you’ll need to scroll down slightly to see it!
Today’s sponsor, iPhone Life, want to let you in on the secret of all the little “makes life easier” tips and tricks of doing things the easy way.

One-Minute Book Review

Better Blood Sugar: 5 Simple Steps To Balance Your Blood Glucose For Lasting Weight Loss & Disease Prevention – by Dale Pinnock

Previously featured as “The Medicinal Chef”, the author (a nutritionist) continues his mission to enable people to eat to beat whatever ails them. In this case, it’s about improving blood sugar stability—and by stability, of course we mean stability within a healthy range.

He talks us through why blood sugar matters, how insulin resistance occurs, the relationship between blood sugar and obesity, and then its connections with other systems and conditions—cardiovascular health, brain health, and even cancer.

Naturally (for a nutritionist) the tools he offers are mostly dietary tweaks (and other suggestions are closely related, such as supplements that can help), and his method does not involve drastic actions, so much as just improving one thing here, one thing there, etc until one is in good health in a sustainable fashion.

There are recipes, but this is not primarily a recipe book; rather, they are all contained in one chapter (specifically, chapter 10 of 11), and are indeed healthy options that’ll do what’s promised.

The style is strongly science-oriented, without being science-dense, and any scientific terms used are explained as we go along.

Bottom line: if you’d like healthier blood sugar levels, this book can help!
