Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions—and feel incredible today—is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function—the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr. Casey Means explains in this book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create “good energy,” the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our wellbeing.

A rallying cry striking at the roots of today’s major issues, Jesse Kelly uses his trademark bombast, intelligence, and humor to take down the most dangerous philosophy in history and address its resurgence in America. This instant bestseller is for anyone who feels alienated by political and popular culture in the United States and recognizes the danger of communism as it threatens to rip apart America’s social fabric.

EXCELLENT BOOK
Reviewed: 06-06-23
Basically, the book outlines how the Democrats have managed to successfully brainwash half of America into surrendering their rights to government. Mainly by way of communists embedded throughout United States "education" institutions. All I can say is that home schooling is one of the best things you can do to truly educate your child.

In You Can’t Joke About That, Kat Timpf shows why much of the way we talk about sensitive subjects is wrong. We’ve created all the wrong rules. We push ourselves into unnecessary conflicts when we should feel like we’re all in this together. When someone says “you can’t joke about that,” what they really mean is “this is a subject that makes people sad or angry.”

I could only take so many chapters of talk talk talk. The book basically spends the duration of each chapter talking about how great the book is, while teaching nothing that's not common sense.

The book exceeded my expectations. I was saddened to hear about the haters situation. I've been through a similar situation, and it is disappointing to say the least when people turn on you, out of jealousy and envy, after you've done something good. I have nothing but respect and admiration for you and all you've done for your country.

These podcasts are life changing.
Reviewed: 01-12-22
The mental health assistance I've received from my medical provider (Kaiser) has been a total failure. Thanks to podcasts like this, I am well on the way to self-healing. I learned about Emma on YouTube, and it gave me the motivation to listen and learn more about my BPD, which snowballed into a deep dive into many aspects of psychology and mental health disorders. Emma's videos and podcasts brought me to a place I never thought I'd reach again. I couldn't be more grateful. I'm 51 years old and attempted suicide over a year ago. Now, for the first time in the past 20 years, I feel like I want to live to see what's around the corner.
