As you must know, I am totally obsessed with gut health! Dr David Perlmutter is the author of Grain Brain and in this book he focuses on the relationship between gut health and brain health. With plenty of studies, this book makes for a fascinating read. Imagine if we could treat Alzheimer’s and autism by optimising gut health!

 

The Digestive Health Solution
Written by one of my favourite naturopaths, Benjamin Brown, this book explores the drivers of gut issues. With over 25% of the population suffering IBS, Ben’s evidence-based five-step plan is easily accessible and solution focused. As Ben states, “If your insides aren’t happy, then you aren’t happy!”

Emma’s Book Boosters: For the Healthy Home Cook

 

At Home in the Whole Food Kitchen
Amy Chaplin is one talented lady and her vast experience as a chef is clear. What I love the most about her stunning book is the way she guides you, step by step, to easy food preparation. With over 150 vegetarian recipes, Amy focuses on the healing aspects of whole foods. This is a beautiful way to cook and her recipes are truly delicious.

 

Super Legumes ~ Eat Your Way to Great Health
In the current Paleo craziness it’s refreshing to see a book focusing solely on legumes. When prepared properly, they are environmentally sustainable and protein-packed whole foods. My favourite recipe was the piri piri chicken with smashed chickpeas. I loved how this book invigorated the way I think about legumes and how versatile they really are.
