Natural Hormonal Enhancement: I was told about this book back in 2004. I still feel that it is the greatest diet book ever written. And by diet, I don’t mean that thing people do 4 weeks before the beach trip. I mean the way a human eats to maximize performance and health. The education on hormones in this book alone is worth the purchase price.

Nourishing Traditions: This book is not only a fantastic cookbook, but it’s an incredible education on how our food system has changed the way we eat. It’s no coincidence that as industrial agriculture has taken over more of our food system, issues like obesity and diabetes have become more prevalent.
