“Fast Metabolism Food Rx gives you real practical programs to nurture the body back to health.”—DEEPAK CHOPRA From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fast Metabolism Diet comes “a complete guidebook that will help you regain your health and reverse chronic disease with your own kitchen pharmacy” (Alan Christianson, NMD, New York Times bestselling author of The Adrenal Reset Diet). Want to feel great, disease-proof your body, and live at your ideal weight? Then eat your medicine! Celebrated nutritionist Haylie Pomroy has just the prescription for you, offering solutions for the seven most common ways your metabolism misfires and leads to exhaustion, excess weight, and illness. After multiple health challenges threatened Haylie’s life, she set out on an investigative journey that was life-changing—and lifesaving. She shares her personal story for the first time in Fast Metabolism Food Rx and presents the powerful food programs she created based on the methods and philosophies that saved her life and helped her thrive. For decades, these food therapies have provided profound clinical results for thousands of patients. Our bodies are always talking and communicating their needs; we just need to learn how to listen. Maybe our energy is off, we don’t feel right, we have indigestion, or our body shape is morphing in ways we don’t recognize or like. Or our biochemistry is changing, raising our cholesterol, making us irritable, reactive, or “foggy.” These—and other, more serious medical issues, like pre-diabetes and immune complications—hide a specific problem, for which food, not drugs, is the answer. So, if you’re suffering from GI issues, fatigue, out-of-whack-hormones, mood and cognition difficulties, elevated cholesterol, blood sugar control problems, or an autoimmune problem, Fast Metabolism Food Rx has the solution for you. With targeted eating plans, you can feed your body back to a vibrant, energetic, and thriving state.

Includes recipes from Chef Del Sroufe, author of the bestselling Forks Over Knives—The Cookbook and Better Than Vegan Nearly half of Americans take at least one prescription medicine, with almost a quarter taking three or more, as diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and dementia grow more prevalent than ever. The problem with medicating common ailments, such as high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol, is that drugs treat symptoms—and may even improve test results—without addressing the cause: diet. Overmedicated, overfed, and malnourished, most Americans fail to realize the answer to lower disease rates doesn't lie in more pills but in the foods we eat.With so much misleading nutritional information regarded as common knowledge, from “everything in moderation" to “avoid carbs," the average American is ill-equipped to recognize the deadly force of abundant, cheap, unhealthy food options that not only offer no nutritional benefits but actually bring on disease. In Food Over Medicine, Pamela A. Popper, PhD, ND, and Glen Merzer invite the reader into a conversation about the dire state of American health—the result of poor nutrition choices stemming from food politics and medical misinformation. But, more important, they share the key to getting and staying healthy for life. Backed by numerous scientific studies, Food Over Medicine details how dietary choices either build health or destroy it. Food Over Medicine reveals the power and practice of optimal nutrition in an accessible way.
