Ditch diet culture and get the most nutrients from your food with the no-guilt, personalized, and exciting new science that will change how you think about food and nourishment, from New York Times bestselling author Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.
Almost all of us are missing essential vitamins and minerals from our diets that leave us feeling unwell and unable to achieve our health goals—even those of us who take our daily multi, buy organic produce, or have tried to kick-start our health with different dietary habits. Now, bestselling author Dr. Sarah Ballantyne throws all of that out the window in favor of a simple yet radical idea: choose foods to meet our nutritional needs. Unlock health and vitality with Nutrivore, a transformative guide that navigates the world of nutrition, dispels diet myths, and empowers you to embrace a nutrient-focused lifestyle tailored to your unique needs.

-An easy-to-follow plan for getting the full spectrum of nutrients we all need to reach our health goals, focusing on twelve foundational food families.
-Definitive science that identifies foods rich in the nutrients that treat common symptoms and ailments.
-Comprehensive lists of foods and pain points that you can use to craft your own unique eating plan, such as eating magnesium-rich leafy greens to help with headaches, potassium-packed sweet potatoes to help lower blood pressure, or molasses loaded with calcium to relieve PMS.
With no food off-limits, Nutrivore is a permissive dietary structure, emphasizing nutrient-rich selections compatible with your preferred diet or anti-diet, that can reduce your risk of future health problems and help alleviate the symptoms you’re currently facing—so you can finally start feeling good every day.

I won't say I'm learning anything groundbreaking - basically, eat a wide variety of foods of all colors and varying animal sources. Everything in moderation. She's created a "nutrivore score" which is pretty much the percent of RDA of a variety of nutrients divided by the calorie content of the food. It's not a bad way of looking at things, but ends up being skewed by low-calorie foods which are only nutrient dense *per calorie* not overall. Iceberg lettuce, for instance, scores pretty high. And other foods which are nutrient dense but calorie heavy score lower, like nuts. So you can't use the scale to simply choose the best foods. It takes some detective work.
My biggest issue, however, is that her units of measure are all over the place. I realize that she's citing studies where the units might be either standard or metric, but it would be extremely helpful for her to convert everything so we're dealing with one system and can compare apples to apples, so to speak. And don't get me started on "a tablespoon" of this or "a cup" of that. Even her PDF that accompanies the audiobook talks about "one cup" of shiitake mushrooms having the largest amount of ergothioneine. Great - is that a cup of whole mushrooms, sliced, diced, chopped, or what? Give me a weight!!!! I can work with a weight. I even vote for grams, and I'm an American! Volumetric measurements lead to vast discrepancies. Give the volume as an aside, if you must. ie: "100 grams of blueberries, roughly 3/4 cup." By knowing the gram measurement, I can use jumbo blueberries or tiny blueberries and know that I'm getting the amount cited in the study.
Also, the information is kind of all over the place. I'd like to be concisely told "this study showed that x grams of this food daily over 3 months helped with [health problem]." Then for the author to spell out what that means for daily or weekly intake of the food or the nutrient. It's difficult to take the information and translate it into a daily practice. Apparently there's a section ahead that talks about menus, but I'd honestly like to use the data to put together my own, and that's difficult to do with the way the information is presented.
Overall, it's a good read with good current information, nothing of the "fad diet" about it.
Loving it overall but needs some work to be useful

The enthusiasm of Dr. Ballantyne is obvious as she reads this book, but there are times when she over-pronounces some words and it sounds a little artificial. But I was able to time that out and really take in all the great information offered here. And the PDF materials were super helpful too!
Excellent and Refreshing
