Praise and reviews for Nora Gedgaudas and her book, Primal Body Primal Mind
I wish to compliment you on your well researched, excellent book Primal Body, Primal Mind. It is the first one in this field I have come across that discusses the work of both Dr. Mary Enig and the Weston A. Price Foundation and Dr. Gerald Pollack. Congratulations. I admire the work that you are doing in this field.
There have been very few times in the last several years where I’ve read a book about nutrition that captured my interest and held it, Nora did. Her book should be required reading for everyone interested in proper dieting and nutrition. Not only is the book informative, but it’s written in a way to hold your interest and educate you without the normal pain of nutritional text. Her analysis and information regarding Paleo is a life changing event that will improve your health and change your lifestyle. A MUST read!!
Nora Gedgaudas is a warrior fighting for our collective health. For 2.6 million years humans knew what to eat: animal fat and protein. On that diet, we grew tall, strong, and disease-free. That primal pattern is still there, laid down like a labyrinth circling out of our DNA, and Nora is ready to guide us. This book is fabulous.
This book is so much more than another ‘what to eat’ book.
If you want to really know about how your brain and body work, read this book!
2½ years ago my partner, Nic found an amazing book that changed our lives… It’s called Primal Body, Primal Mind: Beyond the Paleo Diet For Total Health and A Longer Life by Nora Gedgaudas. If you’re interested in empowering yourself and your loved ones, this book will enlighten you with a mountain of incredibly important knowledge and provide you with the keys to long-term health, vibrance and longevity!
These days, hormones are a hot topic. In primal body, primal mind, Gedgaudas focuses on those hormones that are commonly unbalanced and problematic to the American population, contributing to symptoms such as weight gain, low energy, poor mood, and even premature aging. In clear and simple terms Nora describes the root of these problems and outline solutions that are effective and easy to apply. This is the book you want to read.
Primal Body, Primal Mind reveals how the coming of agriculture resulted in a marked decline in stature, bone density, dental health, with a corresponding rise in birth defects, malnutrition, and disease directly related to an agriculturally-based life style. . . Primal Body Primal Mind is an enthusiastically recommended addition to personal, academic, and community library Health & Nutrition instructional reference collections.
I would like to congratulate you on your book ‘Primal Body, Primal Mind’. It is the first book I have read that really starts to understand the effects of foods to which humans are not genetically adapted.
In my opinion, Primal Body, Primal Mind is the best book so far ever done on the Paleolithic diet.
