Synopsis

The healthiest and easiest way to fix your diet without dieting, from New York Times bestselling author Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.

Why is it that so many of us, no matter what diet we try or how many supplements we take, feel so consistently tired, unwell, and unable to achieve our health goals? The answer is surprisingly simple: Almost all of us are missing essential vitamins and minerals in our daily diets. Enter Nutrivore, a flexible, no-guilt plan to get the nutrients you need while enjoying the foods you love. You can finally feel good every day, alleviate common symptoms and ailments, and effectively reduce your risk of everything from type 2 diabetes to cancer, heart disease to Alzheimer’s disease, kidney stones to arthritis, anxiety to autoimmune disease, and more.

With no food off-limits, Nutrivore cuts through diet culture noise with clear, evidence-based guidance that emphasizes nutrient-dense selections that fit within your preferred diet or anti-diet. The goal is sustainable nutrition—embracing food for enjoyment, traditions, and convenience while adding essential nutrients so you can achieve lifelong healthy eating patterns without the on-again-off-again diet roller coaster.

* Definitive science identifying foods rich in the nutrients that treat common symptoms and ailments.

* Handy lists and guides to craft personalized eating plans, whether it’s incorporating more magnesium-rich greens to lessen headaches, potassium-packed potatoes to lower blood pressure, or calcium-dense cheese to alleviate PMS.
