What book are you currently reading?
Got tipped off to this book on widespread corruption and fraud in generic drug manufacturing by Dr. Peter Attia’s podcast. So glad I got off all meds after going keto…
In addition to The Obesity Code, I’m reading Atomic Habits and “studying” How To Think Like Leonardo da Vinci.
I just started the Habits book so the jury is still out. The Leonardo da Vinci book has been a favorite of mine for years. I’m fascinated by his thought process. I typically pull this book back out when I feel like I’m losing my creative edge or when things are feeling stagnant in my professional life. It always inspires me to do something new or different.
No matter what I’m reading… I seem to always go back to these two whenever i need a change.
Classic Lovecraft. All politics aside… I enjoy his creations.
Fellow vets and sci fi fans alike… it really hits you… right there.
A look at the bad science behind chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
He could have left off the last six words in the title and not lost anything. Probably would sell better.
Merril Hoge is an NFL veteran, retired from football due to mismanaged concussions in the 1990s. His co-author, Dr. Peter Cummings, who checks and re-checks the science, is a forensic neuropathologist. Both of them allow their young children to play football.
I’ll just say that the folks here who are deep into the science side of keto will recognize the many signs of junk science we’ve seen in the diet/nutrition world.
The Milk Lady Of Bangalore is a very entertaining read, from an author who grew up in India, lived in the U.S. for 20 years where she attended Mt. Holyoke College and Columbia School of Journalism - and married another Indian and had two kids - then returned to India with her family to be closer to their elder parents.
Part memoir, part travelogue - full of fascinating reporting on why cows are sacred in India, traditional dairy farming culture, the wealth gaps that fuel the Indian caste economy, the use of cows to bless housewarmings and other rites of passage, the variety of native bovines vs. imported holsteins, A1 vs. A2 milk, how to buy a cow, and cow shelters.
If you’re interested in the Indian Hindu love of cows as divine beings which gives them protected status and special privileges throughout India, if you love butter and ghee and/or traditional raw milk, if you’re interested in sustainable community co-ops, or if you like to be spirited away to other climes - this book is an easy and fun read with totally unique research and reporting.
Enjoyed it and look forward to Dr Saladino’s upcoming book.
Made a trip to the library at lunch to pick up some fun reading for the long weekend as kids will be away. Got The Alienist and book 4 of The Expanse series. I don’t read many novels but I’m ready for an escapist side trip.
Not sure elsewhere
But in the U.S.

I’m rereading “The Obesity Code” by Dr Fung. It’s the best book I’ve ever read about what actually works for losing weight and restoring health. I’ve lost count of how many copies I’ve bought and given away at this point.
True story, my ROI is still quite good. I have lunch every week with my Dad at a small pub that has great wings. The owner of the pub was so impressed by our weight loss that he asked what we were doing. I gave him a copy of “The Obesity Code”. He’s reversed his diabetes, is off metformin, and insulin and now my Dad and I eat free wings every week!
I just finished the remainder of The Stand, so I’m directionless right now as far as my reading for pleasure is concerned.
I’m looking through my stacks of strength and conditioning books and looking for new resources right now, professionally speaking.
To add…
Even better for others
This classic book is a part of the " 3 for the price of 2 " promotion I referenced as well from Amz
