Dr. Cate’s Book
Now Selling at Amazon.com
Long before government RDAs or diet books, people observed how nourishment affects growth. Though they didn’t know about DNA, they recognized specific foods that influenced their constitutions, and applied this understanding to 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.
Learn How:
- Your genes are always changing
- Traditional food creates beautiful bodies
- Beauty and health are connected
- We instinctively recognize the healthiest mates
- To see beyond calories and learn the language of food
- To loose weight and stay young
- To prevent cancer, heart disease, Alzheimers and more
- To use diet to turn your child’s behavior around
- To prepare the foods that have stood the test of time
- Symmetry and health are connected
- The cholesterol theory of heart disease created a sickness epidemic!

Just found your website! I find it very informative and look forward to reading more! Thanks!
Searching for food “nutrition” info and found your website…what a delight, and great information that is well written. Thank you both for all your long hours, devotion and compassion in the field of health and nutrition…it is so desperately needed! ~the Big Island of Hawaii (Kailua-Kona)
I am looking for some 4 pillars recipe ideas. Page 294 of the book says to share ideas at this website. Has no one offered any?
We’re inviting everyone to come forward! If you have a recipe, please share!
Dear Cate and Luke,
My old college chum from UC Davis, Phyllis, who now lives in New Zealand told me about your book on August 1st (along with Primal Body–Primal Mind). You’d like Phyllis, she’s as smart and dedicated to the health of our planet as you are. Knowing that Phyllis knows what she is talking about, I knew I had to order your book. I did and have already finished reading it.
WOW!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. In just this last week, we have eaten liver using your recipe, made yogurt from raw milk, intensified our gardening plans, and much more. I’ve already been doing so many things right, but OMG, major tweaking of my diet is ahead. My girls are in their twenties…. they are so fortunate that this information will reach them before they have children.
I’ll literally be telling every one I know about your book. I know enough about nutrition to appreciate how well you understand the whole picture. Thank you for all your research and your efforts to make this information available. I am well aware of what a major effort it is to produce a book like this. I deeply appreciate what you did to produce Deep Nutrition.
