What!?!?!? George W. Bush ALSO read two books a week while in office? Somehow I am less impressed about this than I am about President Clinton. (Also, I don’t believe it.)

Obama Keeping Up With Bush’s Reading Pace?

By jamie,

Chapter 2 reads like a super-easy science text – Jillian (we are on a first-name basis now) does a good job of describing the major metabolism hormones, and provides lists of symptoms of hormone imbalances. If this book was ghostwritten rather than co-written (and I tend to think it was just heavily edited), the writer has done an excellent job of capturing Jillian’s “voice,” even while using technical/science terms.

Of course, being the former psych major who was convinced had not only a personality disorder, but was possibly even bipolar, after taking abnormal psych, I am now certain than my hormones are completely out of whack. I did say a quick prayer of thanks that I have not grown a beard (yet), but, of the many symptoms listed, I have at least five of them. Jillian’s advice – get thee to an endocrinologist and DO NOT take supplements without a doctor’s care, and also preferably a second opinion. Of course, she also recommends trying out her diet to see how much that can help – I think I’ll start there.

Stay tuned for Chapter 3 – Jillian warned me to “prepare to be scared” when I read it, so I’m going to make sure I’m not home alone just in case I feel compelled to throw out all of the food that was not damaged in the Great Pantry Bug Episode of 2010 (don’t ask).
