- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5nonfiction/cookery (health). This was written by a food-sensitive chef, but for a more mainstream audience (including people with health issues not traditionally thought of as food-sensitive). Diet is one of the hardest things for people to agree to change, so I think this is why the recipes offered aren't as specific to sensitive people, though she does sometimes offer alternatives if you do happen to be sensitive to one of the ingredients.
I did like the intro/preface (written by the non-celiac but still food-sensitive author and a doctor who is at least familiar with the connections between foods and certain inflammation-related ailments), but didn't see anything special in the recipes. More of a book to check out from your library and browse, rather than for purchase. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The very first recipe requires the most expensive nut you can your hands on at a bulk food store and can't even find at a regular grocery store. This book would look nice on a shelf and may have a few recipes that an average person with middle class income could use. However, if you suffer from enough inflammation that you are trying to change the way you eat, I doubt this book will help you along your journey very far.

I love you all.
PREFACE
by Dr. Bradly Jacobs
I went into medicine to treat the whole person and was deeply motivated to understand my patients in the context of their personal life experiences, which requires listening attentively to their life stories, learning about their family lives, recognizing the early symptoms and triggers, and understanding how stress, food, exercise, sleep, relationships, and finding purpose all influence their lives.
Although my medical-school professors would like to have convinced me otherwise, I learned from years of martial-arts study that we are energetic bodies, not limited to flesh, bone, and blood, and that we are capable of self-renewal. As a teenager, I recall my grandmother saying, If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything. . . . No amount of power or money can counter poor health.
In 1989, as a second-year medical student at Stanford University, I came to appreciate this truth firsthand when my healthy, fifty-year-old father suddenly developed difficulty finding his words and was subsequently diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor called a glioblastoma multiforme.
Through personal loss, I learned from the inside out when and how to apply conventional medical therapies (such as medications, procedures, and surgery), alternative medicine therapies (such as acupuncture and herbal medicine), and lifestyle therapies (such as nutrition, mind-body therapies, exercise, and cultivating quality relationships).
Based on these life experiences, I became committed to expanding my medical training to become a more well-rounded and effective physician (the word doctor has the same Latin root as teacher), one with a grasp of disciplines and perspectives other than what I had learned in medical school. In so doing, I hoped to become a better healer, listener, and communicator. Two of the most important topics I studied were nutritional and functional medicine. I learned the profound role that food plays in maintaining our health.
I have spent the past fifteen years caring for thousands of people with a vast range of health issues, including cancer, cardiovascular conditions (stroke and heart attack), autoimmune conditions (inflammatory bowel disease, sprue, multiple sclerosis, lupus, and type 1 diabetes), and lifestyle-related diseases (type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis, elevated cholesterol, generalized anxiety, and sleep disturbances). Despite the diversity of conditions and health issues, a couple irreconcilable truths emerged: upstream events
(factors that have occurred before a person seeks medical treatment) matter, and lifestyle modifications can have a profoundly positive effect.
A set of upstream events appears to cause each person’s seemingly different medical conditions, for example, high blood pressure or sprue. Some of these factors are modifiable by changing lifestyle, environment, or both; others, resulting from family history, childhood/early adult exposures, travel-related events, and genetic mutations, are not.
Modifiable factors, such as lifestyle (diet, activity, stress, sleep, and tobacco use) and environment (exposure to infectious agents, toxins, and pollutants, and community safety) have a dramatic impact on health and well-being. Research has demonstrated that lifestyle choices can prevent more than 55
