Review: Just read this cover to cover - its the kind of health care I want and makes absolute sense and sense appears to be missing in the current paradigm for health care across the world; it seems the flow of dollars/pounds/euros/etc is more important than health. That and hubris at a bare minimum. Definitely our current model of healthcare is letting us down badly - lets keep and invest in the best aspects (acute care) and introduce functional medicine as an option for personalised medicine decades before chronic disease starts - the other half is blue zone towns & cities - that or financial meltdown in the health sector and massive chronic disease rates. Dr Bland looks at the individual; this is more likely to bring about lifestyle change than any health message thrown at a more and more confused population. I was confused by one main theme around the fat hypothesis and disease causation which appears to have completely lost credibility in current scientific frameworks; Dr Bland appears to support this hypothesis by promoting Dr Dean Ornish and low saturated fats intake; I understood the newer body of evidence is polar to this with carbohydrate consumption and inflammation underlying the modern metabolic disease epidemic. I couldn't really find his reasoning on this.

Review: Great detail on how the bodies systems work and how to effect changes in health and wellbeing using food, exercise and the environment. I found the consistent emphasis on avoiding saturated fats without any content about good fats versus bad fats a big omission and misleading. I also found the meal plans at the back too US orientated so wouldn't take that part seriously. On the whole though well worth reading but prefer the paleo books when it comes to diet approaches.
