This has been one of the foundational books of the so-called Paleo trend in nutrition and health maintenance. The author is a highly qualified nutritional therapist. The text is wonderfully easy to read and understand, but it is also full to the brim with strong scientific back-up. With step-by-step guidelines, recipes, and meal recommendations, this book offers sustainable strategies for a primally based, yet modern approach to diet and exercise to reduce stress and anxiety, lose weight, improve sleep and mood, increase energy and immunity, enhance brain function, save money on groceries, and live longer and happier. It’s still a controversial field and this approach tends to lean on animal products but I think that still there’s a lot we can all learn from books like this.
