The Sea Slave: A True Story by Kyle J Matthews

https://www.amazon.com/Sea-Slave-True-Story/dp/B0DV1FHQWW

I was once told by a psychiatrist that I had to write down on paper all the things in my past that haunted me. Things that I thought were normal were acts that were inhumane and wrong. After I wrote everything I could think of, I kept going through my life. I have God in my life today. I give all of my thanks to his glory, to break through from the chains that were holding me in bondage.

The only way God will start forgiving me is if I start forgiving other people. But most of all, I must forgive myself.

As children, we all loved adventures growing up. The adventure, for me, started as a casual glance at the ocean and the fishing boats being prepared for their next adventure. That common experience became something that impacted my life in ways I never imagined.

This is a true story about me as a boy on an adventure that lasted thirty years on the sea.

I grew up with hard-knock old-school discipline and work ethics, as well as believing in God and his Son. All these teachings were needed to endure what was ahead, and many people lost their lives along the way. I cast myself into the industry of commercial fishing, where the laws are few except one: the captain’s law.

The worst of situations and conditions can tear a man to pieces, or it can be used to bring incredible goodness and new life.

This adventure brought a legend to the fishing industry scathing injury and death to talk about it.

Sugar Be Sugarin’: Your No-BS Guide to Taking Back Your Health by Erin M. Reardon MD

Why You’re Tired, Stuck, and Struggling With Your Health (and What to Do About It)

You’re not lazy.

You’re not broken.

And you’re definitely not just getting older.

What if the real problem isn’t willpower, calories, or time in the gym, but a metabolism that has quietly been pushed off track by sugar and modern food?

As an ER physician, Dr. Erin Reardon has treated the end stage of metabolic disease for decades. Diabetes. Heart disease. Fatty liver. Obesity. Hormonal dysfunction. Chronic fatigue. By the time people arrive in the emergency room, the damage is already done.

This book is about how to prevent all of it!

Metabolic disease does not begin with a diagnosis.

It begins with symptoms we are taught to ignore.

Low energy. Brain fog. Weight gain. Cravings. Poor sleep. Blood sugar that creeps higher year after year.

In Sugar Be Sugaring, Dr. Erin explains how sugar disrupts metabolism, drives insulin resistance, and keeps people trapped in cycles of hunger, fatigue, and frustration. Not through trends or blame. Through biology.

This is not a short term diet book. This is about how to live a long, healthy life with less suffering!

You will not be asked to count calories, track macros, or punish your body. Instead, you will learn:

Why sugar behaves like an addictive substance

How metabolic dysfunction develops before disease

How food labels are designed to mislead you

Why exercise alone cannot fix a broken metabolism

A simple, science-based way to quiet cravings and stabilize blood sugar

Dr. Erin’s Jumpstart Method has helped thousands of people lose weight, regain energy, and improve metabolic health without extremes.

If you are tired of doing everything right and still feeling stuck, this book will change how you understand your body and your health.

The fix is not more discipline.

The fix begins with the food.
