Product Description
Deep Nutrition illustrates how our ancestors used nourishment to sculpt their anatomy, engineering bodies of extraordinary health and beauty. The length of our limbs, the shape of our eyes, and the proper function of our organs are all gifts of our ancestor’s collective culinary wisdom. Citing the foods of traditional cultures from the Ancient Egyptians and the Maasai to the Japanese and the French, the Shanahans identify four food categories all the world’s healthiest diets have in common, the Four Pillars of World Cuisine. Using the latest research in physiology and genetics, Dr. Shanahan explains why your family’s health depends on eating these foods. In a world of competing nutritional ideologies, Deep Nutrition gives us the full picture, empowering us to take control of our destiny in ways we might never have imagined.

Although the information provided in this book is thought provoking and interesting, I found that the complete lack of editing was incredibly frustrating. Maybe once a revised copy of this book hits the shelves, then it would be worth reading. I just have a very tough time trusting the validity of someone’s comments when the writing is filled with so many grammatical errors, and when the thoughts are so scattered.

A great read, very informative, lots of nutritional information that gave me plenty of “food for thought”, and encouragement to take responsibility for what I am putting into my mouth!

Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food
Hello everyone,
I am so anxious to right a review of this wonderful book. Where do I begin? First, a little family background. My wife and I have been researching for a few years up to this point, looking for the best diet for ourselves and for our little, now 10 months fresh Divine Baby Boy. We were raw food vegans when we met and fell in love. Since then, our diet and outlook on life has transformed dramatically in many ways. We have read a few books that are similar to Dr. Cate’s such as Weston Price’s “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration”, and since then prayed for an up-to-date version of his work. Then, as holy synchronicity would have it, we stumbled across Dr. Cate’s book in the bookstore. Willa picked it up and read the back cover and said, “Honey, I think we should read this”. So we took it home with us.
Now, about two weeks later (I am a slow reader) I am just about finished with it and already it is the number one book I will recommend to friends and family concerning truly balanced, wholesome and optimal nutrition. What Dr. Cate says resonates with us. It is that simple. She writes with a very approachable and readable style, and this makes all the information, even the technical medical jargon, make sense to a laymen like myself. I don’t want to give the books secrets away, but I can say that the main points are powerful enough to change your life for good. I am actually going through my own little detox as I right this, putting her advice to work.
What can I say to truly express how much I recommend reading this book? I am so grateful that Dr. Cate has written this truly inspiring contemporary work on ancient wisdom. She has unveiled the universal fundamentals of natural biological optimum health, The Pillars as she calls them, and united them to our current cutting-edge knowledge. Thanks Dr. Cate!
May Everyone’s Health Shine and May All Beings Be Happy!
Sincerely,
Pista and the Prema Family

Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food
A must-read, cutting-edge book on nutrition that has filled in the uknowns of why and how to eat for optimal health. Shanahans’ comprehensive understanding of epigenetics, along with documented research and personally living their recommendations, gives insight and clarity as to why eating traditional foods and avoiding unhealthy foods should help avoid diseases that are destroying people’s lives today. Following their recommendations should also increase the quality of our lives and provide healthier DNA to our future generations. “Deep Nutrition” is already a valuable reference book for us.

Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food
Thoughtful, thought-provoking and approachable, Deep Nutrition presents a universe of ideas that possess the rarest of qualities: obvious and eye-opening at the same time. Cate and Luke delve into concepts of food as information for our genes, the relationship between the health and beauty of our bodies and the health and beauty of the environment in which they function, disease and nutrition, and the collective wisdom (which they term the Four Pillars) contained in traditional cuisines to deliver a compelling read. I came away from this book motivated in a way I never have before to change my diet. And by “change” I don’t mean merely to think about changing it, but to actually change it. They shine a sorely-needed spotlight on vegetable oils and sugars, and explain in accessible terms why these twin poisons are so harmful and so ubiquitous. For a long time, my reaction to books proposing eating in a slower, wiser and healthier way was “yeah, that’s a great idea, but it takes time I don’t have.” I have come to realize that that’s the whole point — things that are important should take time. Moreover, as with any change in habits, a new way of thinking becomes automatic over time. This book makes sense. It resonates. After reading this book, you’ll never view a trip to the supermarket the same again…
