About this title

Review

"This is an excellent book for parents and professionals alike. It covers in a scientific but easily readable manner the most current thinking concerning all aspects of nutrition. I would recommend this book for parents, pediatricians, nutritionists and anyone involved in the care and feeding of children."

"This is a terrific book from a nutrition expert who knows how to cut through confusion to provide clear evidence of what is helpful and what is toxic. I love the many charts, tips, principles, and real life stories.  It will be a blessing to so many people."
--Kathi Kemper, MD, Executive Director, Center for Integrative Health and Wellness, Ohio State University Medical Center

"There was a time when providing healthy food to our families was a simple matter. Now we face a maze of information and misinformation where the long-term implications of our own food choices for our children may be much more important than we ever realized. Nourish Your Tribe guides parents along a holistic and integrative path toward nutrition that ensures that children grow biologically, physically, and emotionally to their full potential. Nicole Magryta has done a masterful job of showing us the way with a book that is easily understood, very readable and based on the latest ground-breaking peer-reviewed scientific research."
-- John E. Wear, Jr., Ph.D., Executive Director, Center for the Environment at Catawba College
 
"Nicole Magryta weaves a gentle, rational message for parents about healthy food in Nourish Your Tribe. She emphasizes science over hype yet keeps the discussion understandable. She favors helpful resources and easily actionable tips over lengthy recipes. And she guides us not from a place of fear about what to eat but from a love for all children, and their parents. Food should be a source of nourishment and joy. This book makes that goal a whole lot easier."
-- Russ Greenfield, MD, Director, Integrative Medicine at Novant Health
 
"Busy parents--is there any other other kind?--face daunting odds to get their kids to follow a healthy, nutritious diet, starting with a culture that endlessly hawks bad food and ending with that 5 year-old boss at the kitchen table whose sole food group is mac 'n cheese. Help is on the way. In Nourish Your Tribe, Nicole Magryta gives us an invaluable, practical guide to building smart, healthy, pleasurable family eating habits that even the busiest parents can master."
--Ken Cook, President, Environmental Working Group
 
"Nourish Your Tribe is a comprehensive, educational tool that empowers parents to maximize nutrition and health for themselves and their families. A book that parents can regularly refer back to for continuing knowledge about health. A must read for all parents."
--Jennifer Hudson, MD, pediatrician and founder of Witty Bit World
 
"This is the best book that I have read on nutrition. It's an excellent reference book for every physicians library."
-- Wayne Koontz, MD, 50 year veteran of pediatrics
