About this listen

A self-published phenomenon examining the habits that kept our ancestors disease-free - now with a prescriptive plan for the Human Diet to help us all live long, vital, healthy lives.

Physician and biochemist Cate Shanahan, MD, examined diets around the world known to help people live longer, healthier lives - diets like the Mediterranean, Okinawa, and Blue Zone - and identified the four common nutritional habits, developed over millennia, that unfailingly produce strong, healthy, intelligent children and active, vital elders generation after generation. These four nutritional strategies - fresh food, fermented and sprouted foods, meat cooked on the bone, and organ meats - form the basis of what Dr. Cate calls the Human Diet.

Rooted in her experience as an elite athlete who used traditional foods to cure her own debilitating injuries, and combining her research with the latest discoveries in the field of epigenetics, Dr. Cate shows how all calories are not created equal; food is information that directs our cellular growth. Our family history does not determine our destiny: What you eat and how you live can alter your DNA in ways that affect your health and the health of your future children.

Deep Nutrition offers a prescriptive plan for how anyone can begin eating the Human Diet to:

  • Improve mood
  • Eliminate cravings and the need to snack
  • Boost fertility and have healthier children
  • Sharpen cognition and memory
  • Eliminate allergies and disease
  • Build stronger bones and joints
  • Get younger, smoother skin

Deep Nutrition cuts through today's culture of conflicting nutritional ideologies, showing how the habits of our ancestors can help us lead longer, healthier, more vital lives.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Eye-Opening Truth Bomb

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I recommend Deep Nutrition. This is a book for virtually every American because certain researchers and the medical establishment are blaming "fats" for everything but Dr. Cate Shanahan expertly explains how this simplistic outlook is dead wrong. Furthermore, she proposes excellent solutions.

Have you listened to any of Eliza Foss’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Eliza Foss? Seriously?

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I loved the emphasis on epigenetics, especially as a scientist. That being said, the book is extremely simple for anybody to read and understand. I'm writing a book on Epigenetics because I think it's the future of scientific knowledge and I will definitely be singing the praises of Deep Nutrition in my own book.

Any additional comments?

Along with a short list of other health books, this book is a necessary part of your inoculation to modern "establishment" medical culture, which is leading America in greater and greater disease and obesity.

Compelling science narrative

Shanahan brings heady science to an understandable level, weaving real-life people into each chapter with a powerful pathos to care about the next generation.

Information heavy with instruction on how to implement

I like highlighting my non-fiction books so I have a physical copy of this but this is valuable information to take control of your health and make your food be your medicine. No more peasant food for me.

A must read

I probably have 10 audible health books, several on kindle, and some more paperback. This would have to be in my top 5. I’d recommended to anyone. Of all my stuff only two books say vegetable oils are bad and this is one. And only one book that says greens are good and oils are bad. You guessed it.

Much more inside.

Amazing well-rounded work

This is one of the best books that I have read in a long time.
Dr. Shanahan lays down the information in a highly readable manner, yet points you also to the research at the same time.
You didn't expect the public to care about the actual papers? Oh yes, there are many of us out there. Some of us want to go as "deep" as we can (see what I did there?).
Dr Shanahan also plays it really safe, mixing in traditional food and diet staples that have survived for thousands of years, practiced by millions of individuals. Compare that to the sample space of "modern" / "revolutionary" diets.
If all that wasn't enough, Shanahan adds humor and good vibes into the mix, extremely actionable and easy to digest information, and excuses to eat bacon.
This book might save your life, and / or your children's lives.

Great Book

This is a great book with a ton of interesting information. It strays into a little bit of whacky territory at times but the overall message is outstanding. Highly recommend educating yourself with this book
