Happy Weekend đ
Fun fact: our book reviews may look like theyâre sponsored, but theyâre not; we simply read books and review them. Which is why sometimes youâll see criticism in the review, and sometimes, very occasionally, youâll see us outright trash a book that we read but wouldnât recommend at all!
Check out our book review archive!
In todayâs email we cover why intermitting fasting (and also GLP-1 drugs) donât 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.

One-Minute Book Review
Better Blood Sugar: 5 Simple Steps To Balance Your Blood Glucose For Lasting Weight Loss & Disease Prevention â by Dale Pinnock
Previously featured as âThe Medicinal Chefâ, the author (a nutritionist) continues his mission to enable people to eat to beat whatever ails them. In this case, itâs about improving blood sugar stabilityâand 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 conditionsâcardiovascular 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 thatâll do whatâs 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 youâd like healthier blood sugar levels, this book can help!
