Syndrome X

The Complete Nutritional Program to Prevent and Reverse Insulin Resistance

By: Jack Challem, Burton Berkson MD, Melissa Diane Smith

Narrated by: Paul Heitsch

What is syndrome X? It's a resistance to insulin - the hormone needed to burn food for energy - combined with high cholesterol or triglycerides, high blood pressure, or too much body fat. Syndrome X ages you prematurely and significantly increases your risk of heart disease, hypertension, obesity, eye disease, nervous system disorders, diabetes, Alzheimer's, cancer, and other age-related diseases.

Syndrome X is the first book to tell you how to fight the epidemic disorder that is derailing the health of nearly a third of North Americans. It outlines a complete three-step program - including easy-to-follow diets, light physical activity, and readily available vitamins and nutritional supplements - that will safeguard you against developing syndrome X or reverse it if you already have it.

Insightful

While dry material I found it engaging and highly informative. I couldn’t take notes fast enough. I even made a new changes to my diet.

Nothing Groundbreaking But Good, Actionable Advice

A good combination of "why" and "how" – more concrete next steps and things to consider/try than many modern health books that simply want to lament the prevalence of packaged man-made "food" (though there is that here too). Fairly easy to follow along with and good narration.

New knowledge

I enjoyed the content. You will learn something from this book. It is worth reading especially if you are sick.

Good info

The book is very informative and very easy to understand. I think is one of must have books.
