I have my annual physical coming up in a month or so and I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to approach it this year. He received a Bachelor of Science degree, with honors, in Animal Biology and Psychology, from Middle Tennessee State University, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in 1996.He claims that not only is red meat not bad for us, but neither are processed meats like bacon and sausage. A small, easy-to-read book with nuggets of myth-busting medical information that will help in your decisions for a better health! Unfortunately, I think this particular doctor has parked his car in the keto garage and in doing so has stymied his own intellectual growth when it comes to matters of nutrition as it relates to health.

Thank you Ken Berry especially for the chapter on cholesterol and the pushing of unnecessary statin drugs that do nothing more than drain our bank accounts.

I know there were lots of issues with the audiobook in who was reading it etc and that he could not do it himself but I was really excited about this book and hoped to share it with my family. I recommend that you read this book and follow up with the recommended reading at the end of the chapters.
