Rozru: I listened to this as an audio book and though the style not my taste there was a lot of relevant information. When I purchased the book I was extremely disappointed to learn that while the author mentions many scientific and nutrition and sport medicine journals, none are accurately cited. This means if you want to fact check or read specific studies there is no direct way to find the reference. This style creates a loss of credibility and diminishes the great information presented.

E. Sato: Shawn Stevenson combines real life vignettes, incredible science, and plenty of analogies to tie it all together. I laughed out loud many times reading, I connected with his upbringing and misconceptions around diet and health, and in general was able to follow the technical aspects. This book feels to me like a compilation of all the great books I have read, merging science and practicality, but taking out the one-size-fits-all and fanaticism of most programs. He offers a great plan that actually has flexibility and a focus on connection with others and mental health. I don’t think in all my reading has an author combined so many healthful ways of living AND encouraged their readers to have grace for the bumps they will have. When he said to shoot for 80% compliance, I was intrigued. When he said to change macros around for what feels right for my body and my life schedule, I was in! Intermittent fasting isn’t new, nor is the idea that low carb can be healthier for more people, as well as the need for pre- and probiotics. This truly felt like he took a lot of different ways of eating healthy and combined them in a manageable lifestyle.

I have to say the most important...

TannerTanner: This book is not about perfection, it’s about giving us the knowledge to help improve our health wherever we are at in our life today.
I’ve been listening to Shawn for years through his The Model Health Show Podcast where he interviews experts that are known from all over. He has helped me in so many more ways than he’ll ever know. He’s information has provided me the foundation I needed to heal my own body after dealing with health issues for years. Through his teachings he’s got be fascinated with the health of our bodies using nutrition, sleep, exercise, and more. Over the last five years, I have read and listened to more than 4,000 hours of books and podcasts that cover nutrition and health. It’s obvious he’s spent years of researching and consolidating peer-reviewed evidence-based studies, so we don’t have to. So thankful for all he has done for me and others through his teaching. There have been so many books I’ve wanted and tried to share with family and friends, but I knew it would be too overwhelming for them. In Eat Smarter, Shawn does a wonderful job, as always, at breaking everything down in a way that it’s easy for others to digest the...

Sheleana AiyanaSheleana Aiyana: Shawn has such an entertaining writing style and this book inspired me to up my game in the realms of nutrition. He actually makes eating healthy EXCITING! Even though I've been "eating healthy" for years, I haven't kept up on the newest science of food and how it impacts our gut biome, our brain, and our sleep. Shawn does such a great job at bringing all of that science and research together in a fun way. This book that helped me understand why food really is the foundation for our own health and happiness, and the physical and emotional health of our families. From the most cutting edge science on fat loss, to emotional health + optimizing your brain and sleep health, this is a very well rounded resource for beginners and dedicated health nuts alike.
