The extraordinary true story of a young Jewish art student who not just survived but resisted and saved hundred of lives-all while retaining his infectious zeal for life. Though Cioma Schonhaus was only 11 years old when the Nazis first came to power, his cleverness and resourcefulness eventually made him an unlikely hero and bon vivant. As a young adult staying one step ahead of the S.S., Cioma would dine in swanky restaurants and frequent trendy bars and have plenty of romances-all while sabotaging weapons in the munitions factory where he worked. He even bought a sailboat and taught himself how to sail. These hijinks never distracted Cioma from a deeper mission. Trained as an artist, Cioma's masterfully forged fake ID's ensured that several hundred Jews survived the war. When he learned the Gestapo was closing in on him, Cioma masterminded a singularly daring escape: spending a month biking to Switzerland, he became the only person to cycle his way out of the Third Reich. Beautifully written and deeply satisfying, Two Wheels to Freedom is a story of survival and resistance unlike any other. Arthur J. Magida captures Cioma's exuberance, charm, spunk, and courage. His was a life lived with wonderment, one that the author sets seamlessly against the horrors of history while never losing sight of Cioma's "wily ways, his zest for life, and his appetite for improbable adventures-all of them delighting in the magic that's beyond the ordinary and the staid." Two Wheels to Freedom is an exhilarating read that by turns illuminates and inspires.

READ THIS AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER NOW!!!
33% of Americans are verging on type 2 diabetes and do not know it. This should make you run to get this book! Following Glucose goddess on Instagram and got her book as well. It is easy to read, with fun illustrations by the author. She has truly helped me so much with my insulin resistance and managing my glucose spikes. "Lifestyle optimization" is an essential for everyone. Why wait until you are diagnosed? These hacks are simple, fun, and super easy. Her audiobook is also out now and is read by the author!! Which is awesome. What makes this book even MORE useful though, is if you invest in a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and have the app. I had the Freestyle Libre sensor. Each sensor lasts 2 weeks on the skin and logs your real-time glucose levels 24/7. Way better than doing the old fashioned painful and wasteful lancet and test strips. Although you can verify your CGM occasionally using the lancet, and see how accurate the CGM is. You can have a CGM prescription written for you if you INSIST at your nurse practitioner's. (NPs are WAY more open to this kind of experimentation and self-monitoring...I got the rebuff from the doctor, HA!) What is so sad is that the healthcare system is so broken that insurance will NOT cover a CGM UNTIL you have full-blown type 2 diabetes and are dependent on exogenous insulin delivery. OR if you are a type 1 diabetic and born without the ability to process glucose. Sad huh? The FDA wants you sick, fat, ugly, and miserable. We are MUCH better desperate customers then...willing and eager to take any pills to solve the problems! Let's not be proactive and encourage the PATIENT to take measures against type 2 diabetes, right? So there are MANY benefits of managing glucose. Fairly effortless weight loss actually. In this book she dives into nutrition science and the biochemistry of different sugars as well. She has so much credibility and science-driven data backed up by her own personal journey as well as many peer-reviewed articles. Thank you Jessie!

Really Good Book & Inspired Me to Take Action
Format: Hardcover
After I finished reading the book, I asked my doctor for a Continuous Glucose Monitor. For two weeks, I reduced my carb & sugar intake & was able to keep my glucose in the "steady" range. Then, I ate an oatmeal cookie without pre-eating any fiber or protein. BIG SPIKE! One cookie sent my glucose soaring. I can't even imagine what happens to my body when I eat 1/2 pound of candy. This book was written in a very understandable way & it inspired me to start tracking my glucose levels. I recommend reading this book. And there is definitely something about seeing the effect on your body when you eat sugar by using a CGM. It's an almost immediate visual telling you that you're inflicting damage on yourself. When you don't see it, you can pretend it's not really happening. When I saw that spike, I imagined my poor body trying to release all that insulin to remove sugar from my blood.

Great Book to Understand How Diet Impacts Blook Sugar and Health
Format: Hardcover
Life changing book that helped me understand how sugar and processed foods impacted my health. I verified the tips in this book with my own blood glucose monitor. The tips that she shared helped me reduce my glucose spikes and helped me enjoy a little snack from time to time.

FIVE STARS!
Quality is as good if not better than the Brand name Water picks. This flosser is super powerful and gets the spots a toothbrush can’t! I would recommend it to anyone.
