These four nutritional strategies?fresh food, fermented and sprouted foods, meat cooked on the bone, and organ meats?form the basis of what Dr. Cate calls ?The Human Diet.?Rooted in her experience as an elite athlete who used traditional foods to cure her own debilitating injuries, and combining her research with the latest discoveries in the field of epigenetics, Dr. Cate shows how all calories are not created equal; food is information that directs our cellular growth.

| Editorial Review | If you want to understand the big picture of how optimal health starts with food, start with Dr. Cate. Her bookDeep Nutrition leaves you with a deep appreciation of the profound relationship between our genes and the planet, inspiring us to be good shepherds of both. --Dallas Hartwig, author of The Whole 30 "I have based to my work on the idea that getting the right kinds of healthy fats into your body and avoiding the worst fats is essential to optimal health. I've interviewed dozens of the world's top experts about this, and I know of no one who speaks more eloquently on this topic than Dr Cate. If she's talking fats, pull up a chair. Take notes." --Dave Asprey, author of the Bulletproof Diet "[Deep Nutrition is] a different philosophy, It's something that we all had to adjust to, but we trust Dr. Cate implicitly. I've seen great results from it from when I started doing it--it's worked well for me." --Kobe Bryant, NBA player with the L.A. Lakers |
