Book Review: Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

Everyone should read this book! Don't be intimidated by the 400+ pages--it is worth it and you'll have a hard time putting it down. The author shares stories from patients, as well as her own, that are relatable, familiar, and entertaining. You'll also learn about what it means to go to therapy, universal human truths, and how you can connect and grow on your own.

Book Review: The Carnivore Diet

The goal of this book is to make people aware of an all-meat diet as an option for better health and to share the successes that many have had with this approach. 

There is a lot of information to combat veganism, which seems excessive and overdone at times. Also, for some of the controversial topics, the author doesn’t provide strong evidence to support or refute a position and ultimately asks the reader to decide for themselves (e.g., eating raw versus cooked meat; nose-to-tail versus muscle meat; grass-fed versus grain-fed). The anecdotal stories are interesting but lack the scientific studies behind them.

The author provides historical accounts, scientific studies, personal triumphs, and personal stories. This book isn't for everyone but may be helpful if you are considering an elimination diet--consult a nutritionist!
