Praise and reviews for Nora Gedgaudas and her book, Primal Body Primal Mind
Nora Gedgaudas has loaded Primal Body, Primal Mind with the information and resources essential for anyone who hopes to survive the 21st century in mental and physical health.
If you want to really know about how your brain and body work, read this book!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 consider Nora’s work to be the definitive statement on the nutritional needs of the brain. It is required reading for all of my patients and for anyone with an interest in maintaining their own vitality throughout their life.
This book is so much more than another ‘what to eat’ book.
One of the best books I have read dealing with nutrition and lifestyle for optimal health.
