Synopsis

Modern abundance promised comfort. It delivered fatigue, inflammation, and distraction.

We live in the most food-abundant society in human history, yet type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, fatty liver disease, and metabolic syndrome have never been more common. Nearly one in three American adults now has metabolic syndrome, and many don't know it.

This is not a failure of willpower. It is a failure of design.

In The Abundance Trap, physician Bruce Thompson, MD, and health educator Jocelyn Millete show how bodies built for scarcity are being overwhelmed by engineered plenty. Food designed to override fullness, light that confuses our internal clocks, screens that keep us on constant alert, and neighborhoods with no fresh food in reach together drive the "silent killers" of our time.

Drawing on more than twenty years of clinical practice, evolutionary science, and the wisdom of traditional cultures from Tanzania's Hadza to Hawaiʻi, this book explains what is happening inside your body and what you can do about it.

Inside, you'll discover:

  • Why your hunger signals were hijacked, and how to tell true biological hunger from engineered cravings
  • How stress, sleep loss, and late-night screens quietly drive weight gain, insulin resistance, and inflammation
  • The science of fasting, autophagy, and metabolic flexibility, explained in plain language
  • How to reset your body clock with morning light, meal timing, and consistent sleep
  • The Hunger Management Model, a practical framework that sorts hunger into biological, emotional, and environmental causes and matches each with tools that work
  • Five essentials that have protected human health for 12,000 years, and how to rebuild them into modern life

Every chapter ends with practical tools: a Clinical Takeaway, a Practical Tip, Quick Evidence from the research, a One-Step Action you can take today, and a Reflection Question. A full glossary explains every technical term.

Through real patient stories, The Abundance Trap replaces shame with understanding and vague advice with clear, doable steps. It is written for anyone who has said "I've tried everything," and for the clinicians, families, and communities trying to help them.

Expose the setup. Break the cycle. Reclaim your biology.
