The United States spends an excess $1.5 trillion annually on health care compared to other wealthy countries—yet the amount of time that Americans live in good health ranks a lowly 68th in the world. At the heart of the problem is Big Pharma, which funds most clinical trials and therefore controls the research agenda, withholds the real data from those trials as corporate secrets, and shapes most of the information relied upon by health care professionals.

Are you a woman between 35 and 50 experiencing PMS, migraine headaches, sudden weight gain, fatigue, irritability, tender or lumpy breasts, memory loss, fibroids, or cold hands and feet? If so, you may be experiencing symptoms of premenopause. Even if you're a decade or more away from menopause, your hormones may already be out of balance, usually caused by an excess of estrogen and a deficiency of progesterone, say the authors of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Pre-Menopause.

Great Introduction
Revisado: 07-07-19
This was a great intro to the complex topic of the interplay of hormones as far as production and excretion, what we know, what has been observed, and what we don’t know.
There were numerous studies included, but the only critique I would have is to have a PDF reference included w Audible or Index in Kindle to make the studies (and contradictory studies) easier to find and examine.
So interesting how communicative the hormone systems are with each other, e.g. all sex hormones coming from pregnenolone, testosterone excretion being controlled by progesterone level, # of estrogen receptors being controlled by progesterone level, etc.

Decades before the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin lamented that English settlers were constantly fleeing over to the Indians - but Indians almost never did the same. Tribal society has been exerting an almost gravitational pull on Westerners for hundreds of years, and the reason lies deep in our evolutionary past as a communal species. The most recent example of that attraction is combat veterans who come home to find themselves missing the incredibly intimate bonds of platoon life.

In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe.

The effort and research put into this book is astounding, and the conclusions and research are also. I was on the edge of my seat and couldn't stop reading it. It's another powerful example that money and power corrupts most, and that the more of either of these someone desires, the less they are to be trusted.

The Red Pill or the Blue Pill?
Revisado: 12-06-16
This is an incredibly well written book. At times it does leave out a few important details, like when it talks about increased suicidality with ssris it forgets to mention the increased rate of suicidality in those taken off of ssris in reaction to that discovery, but overall paints a well thought out and researched picture. Very glad I read it and it will change my practice forever. Another great book for those looking for a medical counterpart to this Book is Overdosed in America by John Abramson (on Kindle, not on Audible).

With this updated edition of his earlier book, A Place of My Own, listeners can revisit the inspired, intelligent, and often hilarious story of Pollan’s realization of a room of his own—a small, wooden hut, his “shelter for daydreams” — built with his admittedly unhandy hands. Inspired by both Thoreau and Mr. Blandings, A Place of My Own not only works to convey the history and meaning of all human building, it also marks the connections between our bodies, our minds, and the natural world.

good but slow

contains the Pollan-esque deconstruction of familiar daily institutions into their significance, history and context. Just took me a while to get into it because I think food is more interesting than building construction
