Booktopia by Rakuten Kobo 12+

I bought a school textbook on Booktopia instead of Kindle because I liked the interface much better - smoother, streamlined, easier to read. But then I tried pulling up my note taking app next to Booktopia and realised I couldn’t. I’m stuck with my $60 textbook on Booktopia (newly published, so cannot be sourced elsewhere if you know what I mean...) so I’ll have to put up with using one device to read and one to take notes.

I hope the developers can make it possible to put this app side-by-side with another.

I’m a 30yr old type 1 diabetic who has been through all the different diets.. keto, paleo, POW carb, high protein etc. Recently I have had issues with blood sugar control and was feeling so low of energy. I knew my gut health was totally off!
I am also a registered nurse and over the years of experiencing all these diets which have been recommended to me for my diabetes clearly were not working and causing me to loose faith. I was completely fed up.
I then turned to a plant based diet and saw huge improvements in my blood sugar but I experienced some bloating and other GI upsets. So I wanted to learn more about how to transition into a plant based diet and heal my gut.
I also had recently become interested in the gut brain connection and wanted to dive into a deeper understanding and actually read something evidence based. So I turned to this book as recommended by the guys from “mastering diabetes”. And I am SO glad I did.
Fibre fueled goes into such great detail on the huge impact your gut has on your entire body! I could relate to the symptoms described in this book to a T!
This book is truely interesting and has opened my eyes to a whole new world and has emphasised the importance of eating a diverse range of plant based food in a fun way.
Last of all, the book is so light and easy to read and I finished it in 2 days. I have already told all my friends about it.
Thank you Dr. B! :)

I read many mixed reviews about this book and at one point, decided not to purchase. Then, I was diagnosed with a medical condition and needed a hysterectomy. I decided to go ahead and purchase as Andrea is the only person I “knew” that had gone through this. Wow! I am so pleased I did, not only do I now feel armed with all the info I need to go into this major surgery (next week) but I believe my way of thinking, dealing with things and generally looking after my body, has changed for the better. I feel informed, strong, capable and positive that my life is about to change for the better. Thank you Andrea, truly life changing.
