Warm regards,

This book is very readable and I am not a biology major or anything like one. I am an Engineer and could follow most of this material.
This book seems like it is the standard textbook on the subject but since it's so wide covering it's hard to imagine what a medical school program must be like - perhaps drinking from a firehose would be the analogy? Every system of the body is included in this book. In great details. I even found the condition that someone had who didn't know they had it from the description in the book (they needed to see a physician to confirm of course). The book helps you see the positive and negatives of your body. Things that get bad press like Cortisol, are described so that the positive aspects and negative aspects are presented.
I partly got this to help me communicate with my own physician in terms that he speaks. Particularly if you are doing something out of the ordinary like fasting or a ketogenic diet that the doctor rarely encounters. Those specific subjects are not covered in depth in this book, but there are enough nuggets on those subjects that I started my own list on the blank pages in the back of the book on those points. They will help me overcome standard objections to health choices that the doctor may be unaware of.
The metabolism and diseases of metabolism section are particularly insightful.
