Book SynopsisThe Inflammation Spectrum, Dr Will Cole's follow up to Ketotarian, teaches us how inflammation is often the catalyst for most common health woes. Arriving at a time where issues of inflammation and gut health are becoming increasingly prominent within mainstream discourses, Dr Will Cole offers us a solution to this growing issue. The Inflammation Spectrum teaches us that ultimately how we feel is symbiotically linked to what we consume; indeed, food, in Cole's words, 'constantly and dynamically influences' our health. Subsequently he teaches readers how to do nutrition the right way, providing us with a personal guide which seeks to aid readers to find out which foods their bodies love, hate and need to feel great! Cole's book informs us to think twice before consuming pharmaceutical drugs to "fix" issues of inflammation and instead proposes that readers reassess their eating habits, using 'food as thy medicine'. This book, Dr Mark Hyman suggests, is for 'anyone who is fed up with fad diets' as Cole uses his years of experience in functional-medicine to teach us how to love our bodies enough to nourish it with delicious, healing foods. From personal quizzes to scientific breakdowns The Inflammation Spectrum offers empowering advice and puts readers on the path to achieving food freedom and optimal health.

Book SynopsisHeal Heartburn and Lose Weight, Naturally   If you suffer from acid reflux, you’re not alone. More than 50 million Americans have GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, and while antacids can be effective for short-term relief, they can also cause dangerous medical conditions if they’re used for more than the recommended fifty days at a time. Luckily, The Acid Reflux Solution offers a simple plan to help you gradually and safely reduce—and eventually eliminate—the need for pills while alleviating your heartburn.   In this combination medical guide and cookbook, gastroenterologist Jorge E. Rodriguez, MD, has teamed up with registered dietitian and food writer Susan Wyler to present a three-step program to heal heartburn naturally. This isn’t a formal diet plan—no calorie counting required—but you’ll probably shed some pounds while following The Acid Reflux Solution because these recipes were designed for good health. In fact, Dr. Jorge has not only healed his own heartburn since developing this plan, but he has also lost more than 30 pounds!   In step one you make some simple lifestyle modifications, like raising the head of your bed, loosening your belt, and eating less but more often. These are easily achievable goals that you can start working on today. In step two, you start eating to avoid reflux. With 100 high-fiber, low-fat, portion-controlled recipes to choose from, this step is the most delicious—and surprising. The list of foods that actually trigger acid reflux is smaller than you might think, which means you can enjoy meals that you probably thought were off limits, like Cuban Black Bean Soup, Grass-Fed Beef and Portobello Blue Cheese Burgers, Asian Barbecued Chicken, and even Spaghetti and Meatballs.   In the final step, you reduce the dosage and frequency of the medications you were taking to control your heartburn because you won’t need them anymore. The Acid Reflux Solution combines the latest medical research with reflux-friendly recipes to help you feel great, lose weight, and live heartburn free.

Sure we are used to cookery books having lavish graphics and pictorial content - The Functional Nutrition Cookbook doesn't provide this, it is aimed at those who value substance over design. Our copy is up alongside Jamie, Lorraine, Anjum and Rick's books, but it'll be used to plan our family's meals just as often as the classic cook books. -- Donald ScottI am personally very delighted to find a book with so many useful and relevant recipes under one cover, I cannot be alone in spending far too much time hunting down suitable meal options for complex requirements... It will certainly get a lot of use in my practice and can highly recommend it for any practitioner's bookshelf. -- The Nutrition PractitionerThis unique cookbook with downloadable PDFs of printable recipes looks beyond intervening in the symptoms of health problem and addresses the ways in which diet can be used to help correct underlying imbalances in the body... designed for clients who wish to optimise their health, whether or not they are currently facing health problems... an invaluable resource for nutritionists, health professionals and their clients. -- Embody MagazineIn the transition from recommendation to action, people need a 'road map' to help them make relevant and meaningful changes.

This health promoting recipe book will be an invaluable tool for health practitioners and their patients to identify foods that have a positive function. It is full of delicious recipes which specifically target the nutritional imbalances associated with key body systems that are the underlying cause of many health conditions.

A great practitioner companion to Biochemical Imbalances in Disease.

Plant-based diets are a wonderful way to protect the planet, but fruits and vegetables still have carbon footprints, and often the parts we throw away or compost are the most nutritious and delicious bits. Ellen Tout, sustainability expert and dedicated vegan, is passionate about maximizing the benefits of veganism, and through just a few simple tips, tricks and ingenious recipes she can revolutionize the way you cook. Transform banana skins into pulled "pork"; make amazing vegan butter from the liquid in a can of chickpeas; give new life to leftover wine by making your own vinegar; forget everything you knew about kiwi by whipping up a batch of "whole kiwi" salsa for tacos. Arranged alphabetically, not only does each section include internationally-inspired recipes, but also tried-and-tested, environmentally-friendly alternatives to household cleaning, beauty products, and pet food. Dye fabrics pink with avocado skins; or transform a coconut half into a houseplant pot.

Book SynopsisIf you are told that you must follow a wheat, gluten or dairy free diet, where do you begin to work out what you can eat safely? One thing is for sure you will have to start cooking for yourself at home since there are very few ready meals available that will be suitable for your restricted diet. The simplest and safest course is to prepare your own meals, that way you will know for certain that your food does not include any hidden ingredients that might trigger your allergy or intolerance. Many people find cooking becomes a tyranny if they have to make family meals and then a small portion of allergy free food for one person. Simpler by far to prepare recipes that are delicious for the entire family. But if you have been used to relying on ready prepared meals you may not be a confident cook or you may not have a repertoire of dishes to rely on. This book will help you build up your confidence and encourage you to cook so often that you will become a stress-free cook. The recipes are smart, modern, international and anything but depriving by using alternative ingredients such as coconut milk and rice flour. It provides recipes for all those meals, snacks, cakes and biscuits you have been used to picking up ready-made in the supermarket - soups, sauces, lasagne, macaroni cheese, fish pie, burgers, casseroles, muffins, cup cakes, Christmas cake, cheesecake, crumble, apple pie, sausage rolls, quiche, pitta bread as well as that much loved favourite sticky toffee pudding. There are also recipes for special occasions - from Christmas and birthdays to entertaining.

And, sure, they were great days… but if I’m going to be really honest, there were three days in the August of ’69 that go down in history as the best days of my life. Between the 15th and 18th August, 1969, I lost myself and found myself on a dairy farm in Bethel, New York. Woodstock—the festival that rocked the world and defined my generation—was pure, unadulterated fun, love, harmony… and marijuana. I’m not going to lie—I was high pretty much the whole time.
