Hello friends! How are you? I hope you have a nice morning. The kids and I go for a walk, and then we go back home to continue cleaning out the closets. We make such a mess, but it’s worth it!
For today’s post I wanted to share some of the books I’ve been reading lately. Since the kids went back to school, I haven’t made reading such a priority. I missed it, and it felt good to get back into it! I’ve been trying to listen to books while doing chores and that has helped this month. At.
Here’s a look at the recent talks and if I’d recommend adding them to your list!

Lies I learned in medical school
In Lies I learned in medical school, Dr. Robert Lufkin challenges many of the long-held assumptions of conventional medicine, especially in the areas of nutrition, chronic disease, and preventive care. Drawing on his own medical training and clinical experience, he exposes how outdated guidelines, pharmaceutical influence and limited nutritional education can lead to ineffective – or even harmful – health advice.
Dr. Robert Lufkin walks through how many doctors have been trained with outdated nutritional guidelines and limited tools to prevent chronic disease, then shares how his own views changed after years in practice and teaching. It’s eye-opening without being preachy, and empowering in that sense it reminds you that your health is not something you blindly hand over. You can ask questions, look for the deeper causes and advocate for what actually makes you feel better. 10/10

The Millionaire Next Door
This book completely reframes what wealth actually looks like. Instead of flashy cars and big houses, The millionaire next door shows that most financially successful people live fairly normal, even modest lives. They are consistent, disciplined and focused on long-term stability rather than appearances. It’s not about hardship; it’s about conscious choices. I found it grounding and motivating, especially as a reminder that quiet consistency usually wins over quick, showy success. We really cut back on our spending this year and this book has helped me tremendously with the way I think about everything. 10/10

Personomics
I was so excited to read Dr. Cabral and it exceeded my high expectations. Personomics by Dr. Stephen Cabral embraces a personalized, root-cause approach to health recognizes that no two bodies are the same. Instead of generic protocols, Cabral emphasizes understanding individual biochemistry, genetics, lifestyle, stress levels and environmental exposure. The book shows readers how functional laboratory testing, targeted nutrition, detoxification, and lifestyle changes can be used together to restore balance and prevent chronic disease. It is a powerful book for anyone seeking a more individualized, systems-based path to healing. 10/10
By Amazon:
The future of health is personal. Don’t guess, test it. Personomics is your guide to unlocking lifelong energy, health, longevity and the end of all disease.
Why do some people thrive on foods that leave others feeling bloated, tired, or inflamed? Why can two people follow the same workout, diet or supplement plan and get completely different results?
Because there is no one-size-fits-all answer to health. The truth is that your body works on its own unique code. If you learn to read it, you hold the key to reversing fatigue, balancing hormones, improving sleep, eliminating brain fog, and extending both your health and your lifespan.
In Personomics, Dr. reveals Stephen Cabral, Board Certified Doctor of Naturopathy, the hidden signals your body sends every day – clues that conventional medicine often misses. You’ll learn how simple assessments, home labs, and natural protocols can help you identify the foods, nutrient deficiencies, and toxicities that cause inflammation, rebalance your hormones and metabolism, and design a personalized plan to restore your energy, burn more body fat, and optimize your health.
“There is a code within your body that is more powerful than any medical diagnosis. Personomics shows how to unlock it and transform the entire trajectory of your health and longevity.”
Good spirits
This one was pure cozy, holiday comfort. Good spirits by BK Borison reads like a Christmas rom-com that makes you want to curl up on the couch, preferably with a blanket and something warm to drink. It’s lighthearted yet heartfelt, with lovable characters and that familiar reminder that healing, love and new beginnings often appear when you least expect them. This is perfect if you’re looking for something feel-good and escapist, and it’s a quick read so you can enjoy it before the 12 days of Christmas are over! 7/10 just because it’s pure fluff.
By Amazon:
He is the ghost of Christmas past. She’s not exactly Scrooge.
Ghost of Christmas Past Nolan Callahan plans to spend this holiday like any other haunting: get in, get out, and return to his otherwise aimless existence as a ghost awaiting the afterlife. But when he is confronted with Harriet York, the greatest assignment he has ever had, he suddenly longs for a future.
Harriet York has no idea why she is being chased. She’s a good person, or at least she tries to be. She is a people pleaser through and through and always does what is expected of her. But as she and Nolan begin to investigate her past, they discover that there are threads that tie them together – and realize that there may be more to going beyond than expected.
With the Christmas Eve deadline fast approaching, will they find the key to their future in each other’s past? Or will they stay firmly in the present and surrender to their unexpected, spicy connection?
Filled with magic, chaos and cozy holiday charm, this sultry romance is BK Borison’s best yet!
