Dnf. How it’s written isn’t resonating with me.

there's a lot of problems with this (especially the bad "science") but this book's main problem is dogshit writing. it reads like a 300 page wikihow article with somehow less nuance. almost all of this book is literally just listing types of foods and the parts that don't do this are completely surface level. worthless. this book also loves to give you "mantras" while it struggles to walk you through a simple elimination diet and these "mantras" amount to essentially "i am so smart i am so cool i am sexy i am strong" over and over again. he either justifies this as important to fight inflammation in general or for achieving whatever step of this bullshit he happens to be on

So it's basically the AIP diet (autoimmune protocol) but with a lot of extra specialty powders and supplements.

I really love how Dr. Cole mentions things other than foods causing inflammation. I’ve certainly had many foods cause inflammation in my body but have realized after an autoimmune diagnosis what stress can do. He presents clear tracks with attainable goals that will help people live a fuller life. I had started on my path to meditation and moving more while also cutting out PUFA’s before reading this but this was great to keep me going and motivated to keep do it all.

TBD fire when I finish the core8 plan!

Very well laid out book though! I feel excited and empowered with the knowledge shared and how seamlessly it was learned. Highly recommend for anybody think of a new diet or living a healthier life in general.

Was very beneficial in finding foods that did not agree with me; listened to the audiobook, but came with a PDF of the quiz, recipes etc. Did not follow strictly the Core4 track, but very beneficial nonetheless

 This book has some great information to help navigate food sensitivities and do identify the best diet (that is what you eat every day; I'm not talking about "going on a diet") for you.

Because I didn't follow the elimination diet paths included in the book, I will not give this a rating.

"Eating food that nourishes your health isn't deprivation. It's one of your most profound freedoms." So true.
