About the Book



HUNGER HIJACK is a blunt, pull-no-punches book by physician, author, and journalist Dr. David Sherer. In it, he reveals the evidence linking our diets and our ever-worsening health.



Book Synopsis



Preventable diseases are skyrocketing. One in three Americans is prediabetic.

Even our brains are changing. Here's the science: New evidence shows that foods high in saturated fat, refined carbohydrates and sugar are causing hypothalamic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction, disrupting the normal function of the hunger and fullness hormones, ghrelin, and leptin.

What does that mean? We're making ourselves and our kids sick. We are chronically ill, overweight, seriously damaged people.

HUNGER HIJACK is a blunt, pull-no-punches book by physician, author, and journalist Dr. David Sherer. In it, he reveals the evidence linking our diets and our ever-worsening health, including:

--what kind of "food" raises your risk for serious chronic disease

--the high economic cost and negative environmental impact of ultra-processed food (UPF)

--how plastics are affecting health worldwide

--the national defense implications of overweight/obesity

--the imminent perfect storm of deteriorating health and the physician and nursing shortages

David Sherer, M.D. is the author of bestsellers WHAT YOUR DOCTOR WON'T TELL YOU and HOSPITAL SURVIVAL GUIDE and a recognized expert in healthy and medicine safety. Since retiring from his clinical anesthesiology practice, he has devoted his writing and advocacy to patient education.



Review Quotes




Sherer's HUNGER HIJACK is a no-bulls&*#! manifesto on the dumpster fire that is America's health system, serving up some tough love about the garbage we're spoon-feeding ourselves.

Patrick "Sarge" Avon, author of Boot Camp and founder of Sarge Athletics

In this enlightening book, Dr. David Sherer provides compelling evidence for a paradigm shift on how we understand the complex interplay between hypothalamic inflammation and the hormones of hunger and fullness.

Ronald Kotler MD FACP FCCP FAASM Professor of Clinical Medicine of the Perelman School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania
