Synopsis

Good nutrition is the cornerstone of optimal health--feeling good and looking good. In this title, Dr. Whitaker has put together a time-tested cuisine that will promote the wellness and energy you need to enjoy life.

Unlike extreme regimes that call for restrictions of a certain food group (fat in some cases, carbohydrates in others), the recommended recipes in this book are pretty "normal." There are no specific items you have to eat in abundance, nor is anything completely off-limits forever. An occasional indulgence is good for the soul! As the reader has access to his own personal favorites among a variety of fresh, tasty, nutritious foods, it is easy to make this cookbook a mainstay.

In fact, Dr. Whitaker does not like to call his nutrition program a "diet." The word smacks of deprivation and misery. Let's think of it instead as a lifelong nutrition program of fresh, wholesome, mostly unprocessed foods that contribute to health and vitality, and leave you feeling satisfied at the end of each meal.

About this title

About the Author:

Dr. Julian Whitaker is the founder of the Whitaker Wellness Institute medical clinic, offering an intensive program of diet, exercise, nutritional and herbal supplementation, and lifestyle changes. Dr. Whitaker writes the newsletter Health and Healing (ranked by Time magazine as one of the Top 10 Health publications in the country), with a subscription of over half a million, and has written books, many of which consistently make the New York Times bestseller list (e.g. Reversing Diabetes, Reversing Heart Disease, Shed 10 Years in Ten Weeks, A Guide to Natural Healing, Is Heart Surgery Necessary and The Pain Relief Breakthrough). He is the founder of the American Preventive Medicine Association and a member of many professional societies advocating the preservation of good health and the nutritional treatment of disease.

The Whitaker Wellness Institute in Newport Beach, California was created 20 years ago. It combines traditional and alternative medicine to its patients all under one roof. Julian Whitaker, M.D. grew the institute out of his passionate conviction that modern medicine has lost touch with its original goals: to treat the person, not the disease, and to restore health using the safest, least invasive therapies possible.
