Publisher's summary

Neurosurgeon and wildly controversial Paleo blogger Dr. Jack Kruse gives us his first book, Epi-paleo Rx: The Prescription for Disease Reversal and Optimal Health. Kruse, who used his findings to lose 140 pounds and pack on muscle, takes the reader through his prescriptions for obesity, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, autoimmunity, brain health, and aging. The material weaves together surprises from our Ice Age origins with the new science of epigenetics, or the effect of diet and environment on gene expression.

A champion of “biohacking,” the art of tinkering with one’s own biology, Kruse pounces on his own profession’s ineptness when it comes to chronic conditions and urges readers to take health care into their own hands. He discusses which labs to order and why, why your doctor is obligated to write you a prescription you don’t need, the vital roles daylight and darkness play in metabolism, and the optimal diet for different stages of health and different times of year.

Perhaps Kruse’s more fascinating contributions to Paleo literature are his findings on cold therapy—the effect of cold environments, immersion in cold water, and ice pack therapy on disease reversal, pain, and optimal living. Kruse explains how our origins as cold-adapted mammals hold the key to disease reversal, using a shocking biohack to prove his theory.

The Epi-paleo Rx is the result of Kruse’s abundant research and clinical application in his practice as a neurosurgeon. Kruse questions conventional wisdom about human metabolism and chronic disease, arguing science has incomplete information when it comes to insulin resistance, diabetes, obesity, and their related illnesses. By examining the human body through the prism of our early beginnings and the science of epigenetics, we find each of us already possesses the “owner’s manual” to reverse disease and live optimally.

Wow! This is Amazing Information

Thank you for this Dr Jack Kruse. I have known for 25 years something is not right with the information I’ve been getting from traditional medicine, in many areas of health. I’ve tried so many programs and nothing felt stainable nor did it help for longer than the first couple of weeks. I feel more prepared and I have a deeper understanding of how to help myself. I am following your leptin reset protocol. I just started, so I’ll have to report back but so far wowza… I feel great and the red light therapy protocol has help right away with a host of issues. For example, serotonin levels have noticeably changed after 2 red light sessions, pain in my hips has decreased each session and much more. Soon I will start the cold plunge protocol. I feel better than I have in 25 years! Thank you.

Good story but seriously need a a right narrator

Good insight but was baddly mangled by the narrator.She couldn't even pronounce these words: vagus, and hypothalamus.. At one point, a sentence was incomplete, Ifyou have read the Nutrition & Physical Degeneration, plus the Circadian Code, this bookis an addition. For this book to to receive a decent rating, please hire a male narrator with science knowledge or Dr. Jack Kruse, himself must read the book. i would look into books like Becoming Supernatural by Joe Dispenza for insight.. Lastly, I would consider hiring a,science-subject editor.

Love the Lab Test Recommendations!

Love that Dr Kruse is encouraging us to learn to request the fuller spectrum lab tests for optimal health. And even better, he is encouraging us to learn how to read and interpret those tests. Only downside of the book is that I am fairly certain that AI is reading the book, but the info is SO important, it is STILL worth the listen!
