Intro to fasting for beginners

If you read anything on Intermittent Fasting or hormones and this is not your first book I’d say you won’t get much new info from this one. There are references to studies without mentioning actual study or findings. I felt like the author was repetitive in some areas and focused on problem more than solution. There are few plans that were offered that are tailored towards vegan lifestyle although the author does not suggest that one has to adopt that lifestyle to be successful. Over all if this is not your first book on IF or hormones you might be left with not much in depth and new info but if this is your first book you are on the right track to learn something.

Seriously… WTF is the WTF PLAN?

The book itself was good, but mostly promotes the author’s WTF diet plan. I can tell you I spent a good $350 on the food she suggested you buy and her recipes were god. awful. Thankfully, I can repurpose most of the ingredients, but seriously, WTF? A pickle in an almond wrap with hummus and Thai chili powder? It’s like a stoner Indian food cook book with scraps from the garden and weird seasonings. I honestly am so mad I wasted my time on the book that promoted the diet, only to try the diet and not be able to use any of the author’s recipes. They’re honestly disgusting.

Difficult to listen to, good food for thoughts

My biggest issue is the narrator. I appreciate her energy but ending almost every sentence with a question, at least in intonation, made it almost impossible for me to finish. Some good information in there but overall not very well organized with a lot of unnecessary ‘girlfriend’ talk

Doesn’t make sense for most people

The timeline is not possible for my schedule. The book neglects to include people who, like myself, has only 30 minute lunch break and works 5 days a week. Also assumes you can workout in the morning, states do not exercise after 6pm- most people that work dayshift or have families can’t workout until kids go to sleep. I just cannot relate to this or see how it would work for most people.

Great explanation of hormones

I love that Dr Shah goes thru such an in depth explanation of hormones. This was one of my favorite parts of the book. Understanding hormones in our body and how they work is so important!

Can't stop listening!

Dr. Amy Shah has perfectly described the situation my women friends/sisters and I have found ourselves in - fatigued, digestive issues, and other 'inexplicable' ailments that don't show up in lab results. Since this book arrived in my Audible library this morning, I cannot stop listening to it! Dr. Shah's background, education, research, wisdom, and personal journey, all make up this roadmap to better energy and health and I am excited to apply the strategies in my own life. Thank you, Dr. Shah!

Very informative and easy to understand and apply in your daily life. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their life

Life changing

This book gives great perspective on health including the mind/body connection and how to properly choose appropriate things in life to live healthier, happier, and longer. Dr. Amy Shah is enthusiastic and easy to listen to. I highly recommend this book to everyone. She’s brilliant. Enjoy!

Good concepts but

The book needs better editing and organization and that performance needed coaching and directing. The parts where she added something for clarity post production were much natural voice. The whole rest of the book was performed in a teacher sing songy voice
