Deep Nutrition

Long before chronic disease management programs, emergency rooms, joint replacements, antibiotics, or even things like eyeglasses, people’s survival depended more directly on their own optimal health. Our ancestors would be acutely aware, far more-so than the average person today, how lack of nourishment affects growth and impairs health. Though they would not have known about DNA, they possessed the awareness to recognize cause and effect connections even if separated by years or decades. Among indigenous peoples today, specific foods are known to influence a child’s constitution and couples and their families go to great lengths to acquire those foods before conception and continuing through childhood and adolescence. Clearly, our ancestors could have done the same kinds of things. In doing so, in exploiting the Earth’s wild abundance to obtain a nutritional bounty, they would engineer bodies of extraordinary health and beauty. Today, we owe the length of our limbs, the shape of our eyes, the proper function of our organs—and all that makes us human—to our ancestors’ collective skill.

Deep Nutrition identifies the foods and techniques common to every culture and divides them into four categories, called the Four Pillars of World Cuisine. From the Maasai and ancient Egyptian to the Japanese and the French, you’ll learn how the same Four Pillars form the foundation of all the healthiest diets. Using the latest research in physiology and genetics, the authors explain why your family’s health depends on eating these foods. In a world of competing nutritional ideologies, Deep Nutrition gives us the full picture, empowering us to take control of our destiny in ways we might never have imagined.

Praise for Deep Nutrition:

Jo Robinson, Author ofThe Omega Diet, and Eat Wild.Com says:

“Immediately I was struck by the clarity and simplicity of the writing. I didn’t realize that fat cells could wander around the body and turn into different cell types. Fascinating. I’m going to jump on my stair-stepper and pound away!”

Marjorie Tietjen, Price Pottenger Nutrition Foundation says:

“Even readers who are very familiar with the works of Weston Price will still discover new and fascinating information within these pages. I enjoyed Deep Nutrition so much that I honestly did not want to finish it.”

JoAnn Deck, Vice President of Ten Speed Press says:

“Dr. Shanahan is the Michael Pollan of medicine, telling us what to eat and why to eat it.”

Dr. Ron Sigler, Medical Director of the Highline Medical Group in Seattle says,

Dr. Lowell Gerber, Medical Director of the Freeport Cardiology clinic in Freeport, ME says,

I just finished reading Deep Nutrition, Twice. Dr. Shanahan provides a fascinating presentation of nutrition, genetics, anthropology, history, medicine, metabolism, and cooking. It is a book that I can refer to my patients as a resource, and to colleagues as a reference.
