So I know that Gundry's book "Plant Paradox" is probably rife with some scientific hyperbole, but it's enticing for me to at least follow a system with this principle in mind: that you want to essentially mellow out your metabolism.

"Tripping Over The Truth," seconded.

I’m listening to his other books now, Ketones.

There’s also Emperor of All Maladies (and his other book Genes) from another author that may be of interest.
