Stevenson erodes Western medicine's conventional conclusions on how illnesses persist in the mind and body. Eat Smarter emphasizes the impact that nutrition, or lack thereof, takes on human health. The book challenges current schools of thought in regards to fat-loss, fat-gain, and optimal health. Stevenson does this by going in depth on the inner-functions of our digestion, metabolism, hormones, and organs and the role that food plays in optimizing or depressing their function. Our body's ability to retain or lose fat depends on the various organ and cell's level of functionality and food is the biggest factor to that. Stevenson makes a strong argument on food and its direct role in supporting optimal health or depressing it. From the liver to the brain, all the way down to the microbiome communities in our gut, there is a delicate balance taking place in the human body, and disrupting that balance creates an opportunity for illnesses to fester while also creating difficulties in weight loss or management. This book shies away from diet culture and its calorie-centric approach to weight loss by giving readers a new perspective. Encouraging a whole-food approach to assembling our diets, Eat Smarter draws numerous connections on heavily processed foods and their disruption to our body's ability to function properly. Starting off by sympathizing with the culture that breeds toxic dietary lifestyles the author touches on the genius, but exploitative, marketing by food manufactures, the highly convenient and readily available surplus of heavily processed foods, and the overwhelming work-life cycle that drives us to consume nutritionally empty foods. Through unpacking the cultural, environmental, and psychological influences that have driven the formation of poor dietary habits Stevenson explains how it is breaking down the human body but also, what the body should receive to facilitate its healing.
