COOKBOOK
Dr. Josh Axe
PRAISE FOR
the real food diet cookbook
"The health status of America today is very bleak. With more than two-thirds of adults now overweight or obese, nearly half of the population at risk of heart disease, and more than one in three people diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes, people are desperate for a new hope. With multiplied millions suffering from diabetes, autism, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, and the explosion of immune, digestive and inflammatory disorders, it’s clear we need a nationwide health transformation. Combining ancient wisdom with modern science, Dr. Josh Axe and his Real Food Diet Cookbook can provide a roadmap to take your health to the next level. With delicious and simple recipes containing many of your favorite ingredients, The Real Food Diet Cookbook can provide optimal nutrition for the entire family. If you want to reduce allergies, boost your energy, improve your mood, shrink your waistline, and supercharge your immune system, then it’s time you began the Real Food Diet!"
JORDAN RUBIN, NMD, PHD
Founder of Garden of Life, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Maker’s Diet
When it comes to changing our lifestyle, we need a
how-to" book, and The Real Food Diet Cookbook is the one to keep close by to guide us everyday. We live in a toxic world, and Dr. Axe teaches us how to fix it from the inside out, starting with what we put in our bodies! We need to know what foods are inflammatory, what foods are healing, and what foods prevent disease. Dr. Josh Axe not only guides us through the ingredients, but he has delicious, practical recipes and menus to guide us to better care for ourselves and our families."

Message received! Dr. Axe’s cookbook drives home the fact that you CAN have it all. In a time when many people think eating right is synonymous with eating food with no flavor, Dr. Axe brings us what we thought was a food paradox: savory, beautiful, and... HEALTHY! Simple selections to prepare, yet difficult tastes to beat, these meals can help you lower inflammation, boost immune function, and optimize metabolism. It’s all in this book. Well done!
