Resumen del Editor

A self-published phenomenon examining the habits that kept our ancestors disease-free - now with a prescriptive plan for the Human Diet to help us all live long, vital, healthy lives.

Physician and biochemist Cate Shanahan, MD, examined diets around the world known to help people live longer, healthier lives - diets like the Mediterranean, Okinawa, and Blue Zone - and identified the four common nutritional habits, developed over millennia, that unfailingly produce strong, healthy, intelligent children and active, vital elders generation after generation. These four nutritional strategies - fresh food, fermented and sprouted foods, meat cooked on the bone, and organ meats - form the basis of what Dr. Cate calls the Human Diet.

Rooted in her experience as an elite athlete who used traditional foods to cure her own debilitating injuries, and combining her research with the latest discoveries in the field of epigenetics, Dr. Cate shows how all calories are not created equal; food is information that directs our cellular growth. Our family history does not determine our destiny: What you eat and how you live can alter your DNA in ways that affect your health and the health of your future children.

Deep Nutrition offers a prescriptive plan for how anyone can begin eating the Human Diet to:

• Improve mood
• Eliminate cravings and the need to snack
• Boost fertility and have healthier children
• Sharpen cognition and memory
• Eliminate allergies and disease
• Build stronger bones and joints
• Get younger, smoother skin

Deep Nutrition cuts through today's culture of conflicting nutritional ideologies, showing how the habits of our ancestors can help us lead longer, healthier, more vital lives.

Highly recommended

This was super informative and well written. Other reviews mention it's repetitiveness and how weird the suggestions are. I appreciated the repetition of very important points, and what might seem weird to a modern reader is simply the presentation of a traditional way of eating.
I found the information empowering. I've also implemented most of the suggestions months ago and can say it is life changing. I will certainly continue to follow the advice in this book and others. I've never felt better!

Life changing

It took me about two weeks to finish this book. I already look different, and so do my children. My joints aren't aching, my skin has cleared up and I feel better energy. Highly recommend!!!

Must read!

Loved this foundation-setting, gap-filling book. I finished it in six days. Explains so much more!

Good book

I think this was a great book with loads of info. Of course I am still confused about this way of eating raising cholesterol levels in my ldl and total.

eye opening,

never saw toxic veg oil thing coming but she has made me a believer. making my own homemade saltines mayo and dressings

Great general overall nutrition.

it's a overall general nutrition information. some are in depth nutrition information. not a plant based push but for all natural, organic, grass fed and clean eating. great information.

Wow. Just... Wow. Packed with info

This is an unbelievable book that I believe every human should read. You want to get healthy? Here’s how.

Dr. Cate - You need to Narrate

Material: great
Performance: good
Overall: well worth it

Dear Dr. Cate,
I have seen you on interviews and YouTube presentations. You sell yourself short by not narrating your own material. While authors typically should not narrate (there are very few exceptions) some specialists, such as yourself, can add much needed life to fact based topics. Take a listen to Liz Wolfe! Her heart is in her voice.

I purchased a hard copy of your book. It reads well because it’s obviously written in your own voice. Next time opt for speaking in your own voice.

I love your book. I wish I had found it years ago.
Thank you,
Boh

Eye-Opening Truth Bomb

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I recommend Deep Nutrition. This is a book for virtually every American because certain researchers and the medical establishment are blaming "fats" for everything but Dr. Cate Shanahan expertly explains how this simplistic outlook is dead wrong. Furthermore, she proposes excellent solutions.

Have you listened to any of Eliza Foss’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Eliza Foss? Seriously?

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I loved the emphasis on epigenetics, especially as a scientist. That being said, the book is extremely simple for anybody to read and understand. I'm writing a book on Epigenetics because I think it's the future of scientific knowledge and I will definitely be singing the praises of Deep Nutrition in my own book.

Any additional comments?

Along with a short list of other health books, this book is a necessary part of your inoculation to modern "establishment" medical culture, which is leading America in greater and greater disease and obesity.

Compelling science narrative

Shanahan brings heady science to an understandable level, weaving real-life people into each chapter with a powerful pathos to care about the next generation.
