Books I Have Read Concerning Science, Nutrition, and Health (Updated 6/2021)

 

Updated at the end of the original post November 2018.

This is a list of the books I have read after my Heart Attack and Triple By Pass in October 2015.  Before these events, I obviously never gave a thought about Health, Nutrition, and Science … other than the crap I ‘learned’ from TV and Movie Propaganda.

The first purchased book was The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss, and Long Term Health.

This was after seeing the Movie ‘FORKS OVER KNIVES’ on Netflix.

After these two events, everything changed.

Changed forever, and for good.

Only seven days later, I bought Whole: Rethinking the Science of Nutrition.

Less than three weeks later I bought How Not to Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease.

Eleven days later I bought The Campbell Plan

Then there was a number of books written by Dr. Joel Furhman, first of which was The End of Heart Disease: The Eat to Live Plan to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease.

Next was Power Foods for the Brain: An Effective 3 – Step Plan to Protect Your Mind and Strengthen Your Memory.

Then there was The Happy Vegan: A Guide to Living a Long, Healthy, and Successful Life.

Another by Dr Furhman Super Immunity: A Breakthrough Program to Boost the Body’s Defenses and Stay Healthy All Year Round.

As well as Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss.

Then from The Great Courses … Medical Myths, Lies, and Half Truths: What We Think We May Know.

And then Gut: The Inside Story of Our Body’s Most Underrated Organ.

Then Proteinaholic: How Our Obsession With Meat Is Killing Us and What We Can Do About It.

And I will never forget Presto!: How I Made Over 100 Pounds Disappear and Other Magical Tales  Narrated by the Author Penn Jillette

Also Eat and Run: My Unlikely Journey to Ultramarathon Greatness.

Also The Engine 2 Diet: The Texas Firefighter’s 28 Day Save-Your-Life Plan the Lowers Cholesterol and Burns Away the Pounds.

Yeah, this one too Verbal Judo, Updated Edition: The Gentle Art of Persuasion.

Along with the following Book, I also purchased the Updated Version of Finding Ultra: Rejecting Middle Age, Becoming One of the World’s Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself.

And another by Dr Joel Furhman Fast Food Genocide: How Processed Food Is Killing Us and What We Can DO About It.

By my Hero! Dr John McDougall The Healthiest Diet on the Planet: Why the Foods You Love-Pizza, Pancakes, Potatoes, and More – Are the Solution to Preventing Disease and Looking and Feeling Your Best.

As well as his The Starch Solution:  Eat the Foods You Love, Regain Your Health, and Lose the Weight for Good!

Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen

North by Scott and Jenny Jurek

Move Your DNA: Restore Your Health Through Natural Movement

And I have to Include The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living A Good Life.

You must read Walking With Peety: The Dog Who Saved My Life

Eating Animals ( They made a Movie after this book)

The Telomere Effect: A Revolutionary Approach to Living Younger, Healthier, Longer.

The Alzheimer’s Solution: A Breakthrough Program to Prevent and Reverse the Symptoms of Cognitive Decline at Every Age.

The Pleasure Trap: Mastering the Hidden Force That Undermines Health & Happiness.

And last on the list, so far…  12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos.

All of these books I have listened to at least twice.  Some I have listened to 12, or MORE times, and will listen again.

I have watched endless numbers of videos from these writers. Most from Dr John McDougall Dr, John McDougall Website ( Free Stuff!)

Here is his video site on u tube   Dr McDougalls U TUBE

and Jeff Novick (MUST SEE)  (Full Length) Calorie Density: How To Eat More, Weigh Less and Live Longer

I follow all these writers on Facebook and Instagram.

I subscribe to Nutritionfacts.org !  Also NO CHARGE!  and the videos are SHORT, entertaining and LIFE SAVING!

There is so much to learn….

There is so much power in the PLANTS.

EXCITOTOXINS: The Taste That Kills by Russell L. Blaylock

I am going to stop with these for now. I am sure there will be an update again in the future.

So far I have over 530 books in audio format so I can listen over my hearing aids while I am at work, running, mowing, driving etc. I have not listened to each one, yet some I have listened to (and bought in print) up to 20+ times.

And IF YOU THINK all I read is Non Fiction, well, I am a FAN of SCI FI !!

I highly suggest the entire THE EXPANSE SERIES, and the BOBIVERSE series. I have listened to the first 3 times and the second, 2 times.

Oh, and sometimes on repeat listens, I run the play back speed to a more rapid reading ….

Enjoy!

Any questions and comments are welcome.
