“This is excellent! This book is refreshing, accessible, sensible and necessary. Thoroughly recommended!”---Laura Black, Goodreads

“Laurie’s expert guidance on how to nourish my body for healing and overall well-being has given me a renewed sense of control over my health. I especially appreciated her balanced approach—focusing on realistic, sustainable dietary choices rather than overwhelming restrictions. The insights on inflammation, immunity, and gut health will be key components of my ongoing recovery plan.
A must-read for anyone looking to use nutrition as a tool for healing and long-term wellness.”

“As a cancer professional, I highly recommend the In the Pink book to both patients and providers looking for answers after such a devastating diagnosis. This text provides evidence-based dietary recommendations and delicious recipes in the framework of lifestyle changes. I have first-hand seen the benefits of following this program. Countless patients of mine have been able to sustain life-changing weight loss when few believed it to be possible. This book has provided these patients with the tools to embody the true definition of the word survivor.”----Christopher Jones, MD, Oncologist

In the Pink takes to another level Dorothy Calimeris’ The Complete Anit-Inflammatory Diet for Beginners guidance and applies it with a lighter touch intended for the life-changing needs of breast cancer survivors.

• Which nutrients best improve a survivor’s overall health
• Suggestions for doable fitness plans
