Various people have asked me what they will get with my first major book, The No-Grain Diet. In a word, my answer is "everything."

What I mean is, The No-Grain Diet will provide you my dietary plan from A to Z, in a clear and comprehensive step-by-step approach, that has helped many thousands of people in my clinic and through this website overcome disease, prevent future illness, optimize their weight, and feel more energetic and healthy overall.

I have covered some of this information in this free newsletter, and intend to keep doing so while providing all the other useful health information you can use, but in The No-Grain Diet you will also find a lot of new and essential information that will help you on your journey to optimal health. What’s more, I worked with an outstanding co-writer on this book, and she has done an exceptional job of presenting everything you need to know in an easy-to-read and concise manner.

In short, I hope you’ll agree that being healthy is the most important goal you can achieve, as it then frees your life up for all the other important pursuits that matter to you, like family, faith, career, and your hobbies. And I am certain that you will find The No-Grain Diet to be amongst the most important books you ever read to help you achieve that ideal health.
