dean's recommended reads and resources on health + fitness

Below, you'll find a list of books that I utilize regularly to back-up my health, fitness, and nutrition recommendations. The advice I give in my articles and podcast episodes were influence by the science and research gleaned from these sources.

Recommended reads on: general health + nutrition

Nutrition books are a dime a dozen and most of them are just no good. But, if you’re serious about getting a handle on your health and wellness, which really is the single-most important area of your life, then these are the books you’ll want to read. Please note that these nutrition books don't contain any “secrets” to “fast fat loss,” nor are any of them about “how to lose weight quickly.” Such magic bullets simple do not exist. The nutrition books outlined in this article are science-backed and research-driven. This should give you piece of mind that the advice from these books has been tried and tested for maximum effectiveness. So let’s dig in, shall we?
