Description: "Forget everything you've been told about diet (from your doctor, the food industry, wellness influencers, etc.). Too many of us mistakenly believe that calorie restriction, pharmaceutical weight loss drugs, and bariatric procedures are effective solutions for weight loss. However, these "solutions" are plagued by serious problems, including virtually guaranteed weight regain. Muscle mass is what maintains our weight, and it also provides youthful vigor, mobility and overall health. When we diet, any muscle lost is often re-gained as fat, leaving us in worse shape than before. The essential microbes that have also been lost in our diet weakens us in the same way. In SUPER Body he reveals how we can restore our bodies through nutrition, microbes, and supplements. The solutions to health, including weight management, do not lie in pharmaceuticals or procedures, but in returning to the natural foods necessary for human life"-- Provided by publisher.
Review Quotes:
"In SUPER Body, Dr. William Davis shines a spotlight on the critical role of preserving muscle as we age--something most diets and weight-loss drugs, including GLP-1s, completely miss. These short-term 'fixes' often strip away precious muscle, undermining our metabolism and overall vitality. Dr. Davis's practical, science-backed plan offers a true solution by targeting both the gut and muscle in tandem, rather than relying on quick or damaging interventions. For anyone seeking real, lasting health and strength in their later years, SUPER Body is a must-read."
