I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book courtesy of NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was a short book. It only took me an hour to read. I didn’t agree with some of the diet suggestions. I did like some of the meditation suggestions. I have read several meditation books and this one gives a simple yet specific suggestion on how to start meditating.

Hypertension, Blood Sugar? Depression?: How I Cured Them All is the second book I’ve reviewed recently that details the connection between inflammation and ill health, including depression ... a growing field of interest. In this highly informative guide, Dr. Leonid Altshuler, a board-certified psychiatrist with over 20 years’ experience, reveals groundbreaking brain research with stress/depression/anxiety and metabolic syndrome/insulin resistance. He presents vital step-by-step recommendations for naturally improving brain sensitivity/body to insulin and treating stress/depression/anxiety. The book reflects his own journey to health from one who once suffered high blood pressure, digestion problems, insomnia, and anxiety. Both evidence and a plan for restoring good health are included in this highly recommended handbook.

I'm not a huge fan of self-help books, because usually I find them quite boring, preachy and not helpful at all. More often then not after reading self-help books I feel even worse than before.

However, I still not giving up and trying to find something, that could help me feel better about some things. So, yesterday I found this ARC on NetGalley and decided to give it a try. Boy, oh boy! I was not disappointed in a slightest. First time after reading book like this I felt good, because I found some pretty good advises of how to feel better in your skin.
All the steps of achieving better quality of your life were so easy to follow and don't ask of you to change completely of who you are.
Also it was written in such a manner, that I flew through this book in a few hours.
It will definitely will be one of those books, that I read more then once.

This book is a short, but interesting read. As a sufferer of Metabolic Syndrome I found myself nodding in places. Dr Alshuler describes the syndome in a concise and understandable way and also explains the steps that worked for him. He says all the way through that people should get checked over by their own doctor and that what worked for him might not work for you. Stress is a major part of Metabolic Syndrome and Dr Alshuler gives some, seemingly simple, yet very difficult to practice, ways of relieving it.

An erudite book that is very useful in this day and age.

I received this book from Netgalley in return for an honest review. I thought Dr. Altshuler's book was really well written with some techniques to apply to your life right away to help increase your seratonin levels and Alpha brain waves. I also liked that he frequently stated you should consult with your own physician or health care provider before starting some of these changes or changing your current medications. If you suffer from any of the conditions listed in the book title, I think this book is worth a read.

Was this review helpful?

The subject of inflammation is a very on-point topic right now. I appreciated Dr. Altshuler’s recommendations, especially regarding meditation. I’m not so sure about some of his dietary advice. However, the book is a definite good start on the subject area and will prompt me to do further research. The author presents his material in a clear, understandable manner which I found easy to read.
My thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an arc in exchange for my honest review.
