Review
------
"More than half of American children are currently diagnosed with
a chronic illness, and much of that statistic can be attributed
to a long list of damaging exposures (from antibiotics to GMOs)
that have destroyed the of the American gut. For all the
damage we have done to our gut and immune , there is hope.
Healing the gut through ent-dense, restorative diets like
the GAPS Diet is absolutely foundational to recovery. Recovery is
within reach and The Heal Your Gut Cookbook is a terrific
companion for that journey."--Beth Lambert, author, A Compromised
Generation: The Epidemic of Chronic Illness in America's
Children, executive director, Epidemic Answers, and executive
producer, The Canary Kids Project
"The GAPS protocol is a particularly effective antidote to the
standard American diet. But GAPS involves a big lifestyle change
and a serious commitment to cooking from scratch. This change can
be intimidating, even to experienced home cooks. Hilary Boynton's
and Mary Brackett's new book makes GAPS accessible to a wide
audience, both through its no-nonsense narrative and through its
wealth of straightforward, delicious, and y recipes. It's
as if she is saying, 'You are not alone . . . and here's what
we're having for dinner.' Anyone following GAPS, or even just
thinking about it, will appreciate the recipes and ideas in this
book."--Alex Lewin, author, Real Food Fermentation
"I couldn't stop reading Hilary Boynton's and Mary Brackett's
book on the GAPS diet, The Heal Your Gut Cookbook. I found myself
famished for the amazing information and guidance they offer on
how to improve gut and ultimately restore optimum immune
function. Hilary and Mary do a wonderful job of weaving their own
personal and family stories of redemption together with
fantastic, mouth-watering recipes that build on their food
philosophy. Moreover, the recipes are easy to follow. I plan to
make this book available to my friends and family, so they can
all benefit from the important information here."--David Gumpert,

Milk Revolution

can-do liberation plan. These pages scream 'freedom to be

kind of understanding and participation a recipe road like
this can offer. eaters create
landscapes."--Joel Salatin, Polyface Farm
"Over my many years of healing through diet, especially healing
the gut through diet, the problem has always been how to make the
information and the food readily available to those in need. In
the beginning the food was not to be had and the diet plans,
recipes, and explanations were not to be found. Over the years
this has be to change. There are ever-expanding farmers
markets, small businesses, and cooperative ventures that are
filling the food-availability gap. Hilary's and Mary's book is a
valuable addition to the question of what to do with the food and
why. This book is another small step in my eventual fading away,
as I can finally say 'it's all out there now. Just follow the
advice and wonderful recipes; my work is done.'"--Thomas Cowan,
MD, author, The Fourfold Path to Healing, and co-author, The
Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby & Child Care

this beautifully illustrated manual for creating delicious and

recipes. It offers practical ways to restore your gut to optimum
function, and help you and your family take control of your gut
