Dr. Yoni Freedhoff of “Weighty Matters”\u00a0reviews an interesting new book<\/a>, “The Cure For Everything: Untangling Twisted Messages About Health, Fitness and Happiness<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Sounds like it could be good…<\/p>\n

You see Tim’s book is something I’m not sure I’ve ever read before. I’d describe it as an “evidence-based romp<\/em>” (words that I’d never thought I’d string together) and his clean writing and his truly delightful and delicious self-deprecating brand of humour makes you want to pick it up again and again.<\/p>\n

Tim covers a fair bit of ground in his personalized debunking of the scads of bunk we face when considering self-improvement projects like fitness, diet, genetics, and chronic disease prevention. And when I say personalized, I mean it in that Tim takes himself through his own anecdotal n=1 journey through celebrity trainers, dieting (back to that in a moment), colonics, personalized gene testing, accupuncture and homeopathy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I trust Dr. Freedhoff’s judgment, so\u00a0I pre-ordered a Kindle version<\/a> (the book won’t be available in the US until April).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Author Timothy Caulfield’s resume is pretty impressive. He’s a Tier I Canada Research Chair in Health Law and Policy; Senior Health Scholar, Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research; Professor, Faculty of Law and School of Public Health; and Research Director, Health Law and Science Policy Group. Thus, while it may be an “evidence-based romp,” I\u00a0expect that\u00a0the book\u00a0will be\u00a0well-researched and authoritative. I’m looking forward to (eventually) reading it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
