Fat for Fuel

By: Dr. Joseph Mercola

Narrated by: John Glouchevitch

For over a century, we've accepted the scientific consensus that cancer results from genetic disease due to chromosomal damage in cell nuclei. But what if scientists are chasing a flawed paradigm? What if cancer isn't a disease of damaged DNA but rather of defective metabolism as a result of mitochondrial dysfunction? What if that startling truth could revolutionize our understanding of other diseases, too - and show us a radical new path to optimal health?

In this groundbreaking guide, the first of its kind, New York Times best-selling author and leading natural-health practitioner Joseph Mercola explains how nearly all disease is caused by defective metabolic processes. Then he reveals what's causing your metabolism to go haywire: damage and dysfunction in the mitochondria, thousands of which are at work in nearly every cell in your body, generating energy you need to stay alive and well. When mitochondria are damaged in large numbers, it is impossible to stay healthy.

Dr. Mercola shows that you can take control of your health simply by giving your body the proper fuel - and it's not what you've been led to believe. A ketogenic diet, very low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats, is the way to optimize the biochemical pathways that suppress disease and support healing. And the benefits can be astonishing - not only in treating or preventing serious illness but in boosting your brainpower, increasing your energy, helping you lose weight and keep it off, and much more.

As you listen to this audiobook, you'll learn in clear, rational terms how your body works at a molecular level. You'll finally understand the type of fuel it's designed to burn in the most efficient way possible. You'll find detailed guidelines for starting a ketogenic eating plan. And you won't have to wait decades for metabolic mitochondrial therapy to make its way into the mainstream. You can build a healthier body and brain starting right now.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Every school should teach all that is in this book

Narrator was perfect to listen to. Why did I have to wait until I was 70 to hear how I could have prevented all this medicine and bypass operation?

Mind blowing, life changing!!!

I loved all the helpful info that will only benefit my total well being. Since I started listening I've incorporated many of the suggestions related to food choices and I can already feel the difference.

This book is loaded with valuable information..

...so much valuable information that I have listened to it twice and decided to get a print edition so I can reference it often. Was having trouble writing down all the nuggets I while I listened. Highly recommended.

Very informative! Revolutionary material!

I really enjoyed this book. The reader was not hard to listen to at all, and did not get boring. Well written, and very revolutionary in content. I would recommend this book to anyone that have reading ability of any kind.

Life-changing

Dr. Mercola is both comprehensive and simultaneously easy to comprehend. I have already started transitioning to MMT!

Informative

At first it was hard to understand what he was saying because he just jumped in to a whole lot of science. But upon listening a second time everything made sense. If you want to understand the benefits of eating a ketogenic diet on a cellular level then this is for you!

Fat for Fuel is an excellent listen

Listened twice and learned a lot each time . Great for healthy or health challenged.

Listen to this and Make the Switch

This was my second read on the subject of what we humans need to eat and why. Very good useable information which has transformed my life! Read and make the change, you will feel better eat less and your brain will fire back up r into overdrive!

This is Missing the .pdf file!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This has wonderful information but with the .pdf file missing it makes for far to much note taking.

Thoroughly enjoyable

Other than doing the cyclical part of a whole foods based ketogenic diet, I follow pretty much everything is Dr. Mercola's book. He's really established what I see as the keys to healthy live which has become so much more difficult in the modern age whether we effectively have to pay a premium to eat food which hasn't been (thoroughly) contaminated.

I didn't like that he stated that long term ketosis is harmful, since I don't think there is enough evidence to establish that (I'm only 1.5 years in and it's remarkable for me in almost every way), but otherwise it's difficult to find any fault in this book. Really remarkable read....
