Metabolic Syndrome Program: How to Lose Weight, Beat Heart Disease, Stop Insulin Resistance and More
This book has alot of common-sense types of hints and tips for staying healthy. I particularly liked the lay-out. That is, it is arranged in 50 short segments, meant to be read one per day for 50 days, with one action item for each day that you either do one time or (usually) you keep doing as a habit from then on.
The downside is that there are some things in the book that are of questionable efficacy and safety (ie, bioidentical compounded hormones). So some of it can't be implemented without doing alot of extra research. And many of the supplements listed are coincidentally sold by Dr. Colbert's company. Which, of course, he would endorse a product that he knows is a quality product, so that's expected. But it still makes it difficult to follow his advice on some points without investing in something from which he himself...or his company...will make a profit.
