Every Body Should Know This: The Science of Eating for a Lifetime of Health (From Medical Scientist and Head Nutritionist at ZOE)

This is a book everyone should read, a bit technical in places and not all will be relevant to your life, but the diamonds and nuggets of wisdom found are thought provoking and life changing.

I love Dr Federica! She makes all the ‘sciencie’ stuff so easy to understand! This book takes you through all the life stages,shows how out bodies change and what they need at each of those stages If you are interested in nutrition,and taking responsibility for your own health,and that of your family,this book is a ‘must have’

Very helpful and enjoyable book

As somebody who has watched pretty much every Zoe podcast and hence seen Dr Federica Amati speak about diet, nutrition etc many times, as well as watched her reels on YouTube (which include recipes that I actively use) and seen other interviews that she has done, I am well aware of how knowledgeable Dr Amati is, and possibly because of that was sadly underwhelmed by this book. A significant proportion of the content relates to “the first 1000 days”, which is clearly a particular interest of the author. However, as I suspect many readers will be past the child-rearing stage, or not be planning to have children, so much emphasis on the topic in a book called “Every body should know this” seems misplaced. I feel that the editor(s) could have been much more involved, balancing the content, providing better structure, putting more focus on actionable advice, and helping with making sentences flow better for native English speakers. Overall, in its current form this book meanders through the subject matter, in a way that does not work for me. For anybody thinking about having children, this book is still worth reading. For anybody else, particularly those who have watched Zoe podcasts, it shouldn’t be top of the list of books to read.

Not another diet book - but rather a book on how good nutrition can support changes that we all experience as we age. To maintain our health we need to re-embrace the positive power of food. I am a medical professional and I wish more of this was known by more people both in the profession and the public.

Interesting and informative book, written in a way that makes it easy to read and absorb the information.

I can see why the author would like a catchy title but in my opinion I don’t feel that this book is for every body. I feel that it excludes some of the population namely those of physical or neuro differences and so buying this book will only serve to make you feel more excluded unfortunately. I didn’t have any of the experiences listed when weaning my son and so from the very first pages I just had a painful recount of a very traumatic time for me. From this I would guess that the author has two typically developing children and assumes everyone does. If you are a person of means and can afford fresh produce and vivo barefoot shoes then you can follow the guidelines in this book. But if you are a minority struggling in any way with the cost of living then I don’t think there is anything you can’t obtain from the Zoe podcast or social media. The author says that she has few regrets if any, and it definitely comes across in the writing. I would say this is a very entry level guide to healthy living if you are a young adult reading your first book on the subject.

Great book thank you.

Mmmm. Not so bad
