The book is a masterclass on positive psychology, healthy relationships, mental well-being, and high-performance, offering practical advice on how to shift focus to appreciate progress and achieve greater fulfillment and success.

In 'Metabolical', Dr. Robert Lustig explains the eight pathologies that underlie all chronic diseases and documents how processed food has negatively impacted health, economy, and the environment over the past 50 years. He challenges the current healthcare paradigm influenced by Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government. Lustig argues that food is the key to biochemical change and health improvement, emphasizing the importance of protecting the liver and feeding the gut. He also highlights the global environmental impact of processed food and offers practical solutions for healthier dietary choices and policy changes to promote sustainability and health[1][3][5].

In *Nature Wants Us to Be Fat*, Dr. Richard Johnson presents evidence on how a biological 'fat switch' is responsible for excess fat storage and many major diseases prevalent in the Western world. This switch, used by animals as a survival mechanism, is triggered by fructose consumption and can lead to conditions such as heart disease, cancer, and dementia. The book discusses how modern diets have permanently activated this switch, and provides recommendations for turning it off to prevent or treat obesity and reduce the risk of developing other diseases.

In 'Super Gut', Dr. William Davis connects the dots between gut health and modern ailments, highlighting the impact of highly processed diets, pesticides, and overuse of antibiotics on the human microbiome. The book provides a four-week plan to reprogram the microbiome, including more than forty recipes, a diet plan, and resources to correct gut issues and maintain long-term health and well-being. It also discusses the silent epidemic of SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and its wide-ranging health consequences.
