Welcome to Litsy!

Informative book with a lot of references. Wish it had more of a plan for improving one‘s own micro biome.

In progress

When work and hobby collide!

#TBRtemptation post! #Science edition. I love browsing book stores' science sections. And this number popped right out at me and insisted I take it home. I insisted I wanted to but my wallet rang out with hollow cries of inability. Poor book. But...I shall return, and when I do, it's mine! This seems really intriguing, and I have a feeling I'd make it a quick read since it seems like a fun read as well. Thoughts?! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

There are better books to read if you are interested in your microbiome. Start with Martin Blaser's Missing Microbes or The Good Gut by the Sonnenburgs. Tim Spector's The Diet Myth is another one of my favorites. I was beyond disappointed with this book. The writing is uneven (too scientific in places and too personal in others). It is just a poor summary of exciting scientific trends. ⚗🔬💊

Am finally starting this. I've heard mixed opinions, but I'm interested in this perspective -- somewhat different from what I learned in grad school.

I want SO MUCH to enjoy reading this book. But it is not happening. Each page feels like an eternity. I have read every book available on the gut microbiome, so it takes a lot to impress me or tell me something new. I will persist with this book but only for the love of #microbes

I am obsessed with gut bacteria. But I'm depressed that this book isn't written better. My only hope is that things improve once I slog through section 1 and reach section 2: A Revolution in Medicine.

It's been a while since I shelved my professional life in the human biological sciences, but I continue to read and learn. #nonfiction #medicine #science

I'm hoping to squeeze some reading time in at work tonight. We have 2 new RN orientees so fingers crossed for a good night!!

When work and pleasure coincide.. Reading about how the microbiome is revolutionizing the pursuit of a healthy life.
