Food Isn't Medicine by Joshua Wolrich
informative
fast-paced
3.5
This was a quick listen for me, but I liked the author's approach. The title is intentionally misleading, if that's not clear. The author breaks down food and diet trends that have recently circulated, largely through social media, and debunks them from the lens of nutrition. He emphasizes the different roles and functions that food has in our bodies in contrast to the function of medicine.
He mostly keeps it out of this text, which I think is appropriate, but the author is also someone who advocates for intuitive eating. I think this is an important lens to go in with as a reader, regardless of your personal relationship with food.
