Why Everyone Should Read Metabolical

If there’s one book that can change the way you think about food, it’s Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine by Dr. Robert Lustig. This book is a wake-up call, a rallying cry, and a lifeline all in one. It's not the greatest audio book narration, but the message is powerful and worth it.

Stop with the fad diets.

I know the temptation is real, especially when people just don't feel awesome in their body. But here’s the truth: Fad diets don’t address the root of the problem. They’re a band-aid on a broken system that’s designed to fail you.

Dr. Lustig’s message in Metabolical is simple: We don’t have a weight problem. We have a food problem. And the solution lies not in gimmicks, restrictions, or calorie counting, but in making a few key changes that support real health.

I beg you to read this book, take its lessons to heart, and join me in taking a stand! 

Want to read this book with me?

Who’s in for a Metabolical book club? This isn’t just about reading a book—it’s about taking action and learning how to push back against the lies of the processed food industry.

Together, we’ll:

• Unpack the most important lessons from the book.
• Learn how to identify and avoid the worst offenders in the grocery store.
• Share tips for transitioning to clean, whole foods without overwhelm.
• Think of me as your accountability partner that has already eliminated highly processed foods from my house and have lived to tell about it.

Text me (Joy) at 360-220-7028 if you want to join my book club. I'm 6 chapters into the book and I feel the need to discuss this with someone. I have read a lot of books about our broken food system, food as medicine, and metabolic health and this book still blew my mind (and maybe made me call Bekah cursing a few times).
