Dr. Ron on Nutrition and Health

• Primal Nutrition: Paleolithic and Ancestral Diets for Optimal Health.
  Dr. Ron has updated, added to, rewritten and renamed his 1987 classic Traditional Foods Are Your Best Medicine. Focusing on the discoveries of Drs. Weston Price, Francis Pottenger and other nutritional pioneers, and his own 34 years of clinical experience with thousands of patients as a naturopathic physician, he clearly lays out the principles you can use to build your own optimal diet.

"Every person requires a different diet," Dr. Ron says, "but the principles apply to all of us. Food is the key to health. I've worked on what I present in Primal Nutrition all my life."

From the foreword by Nora Gedgaudas, CNS, CNT, author of the best-selling Primal Body, Primal Mind:


"Twenty-one years ago I first came across an earlier incarnation of the book you now hold in your hands. From the moment I first picked it up off the shelf, I almost literally couldn't put it down…. I was gobsmacked and nothing has been the same ever since…. Ron's book opened my eyes to a completely different way of looking at the field of nutritional science….it changed my life…. With grace, respect, and a rare open-mindedness, Ron has renewed his perspective in a way seldom revisited by established experts in any field, and he continually expresses a willingness to see the evidence he has uncovered in new ways…. May the newest and best incarnation of this book rock your world even a fraction as much as its earlier predecessor rocked mine."
