“Health and wellness are one of the most common search categories on the internet. But in a world overflowing with conflicting health advice and self-proclaimed online health gurus, how do you interpret what you find? The book Am I at Risk: Your Evidence-Based Guide to a Healthier Future, by Drs. Hrayr Karagueuzian and Levon Demirdjian is a great start to educate yourself in navigating the complexities of medical information to help make informed decisions about your health. Written by two esteemed professors who have spent their entire careers studying the mechanisms and treatment of human diseases, the book is aimed at lay people who wish to know what goes into identifying risk factors for common chronic diseases such as hypertension and obesity. Importantly, the book provides a lucid explanation as to how potential therapies are tested for efficacy by statistical and epidemiological methods empowering you to critically evaluate health claims and discern credibility from misleading narratives. The writing is very lucid, entertaining, and accessible even for those without any background in these areas. It is a joy to read, and I highly recommend it!”
