Necessary Nutrition: How To Supplement Without Supplements, Nourish Yourself Without A Complete Diet Makeover And Feel Great Everyday
It is nearly impossible for the average person to maintain healthy eating habits in keeping with today's hectic pace of living. Commercially manufactured nutritional supplements belong to an industry that is under-regulated and sketchy at best. Eating a poor diet and attempting to fix what's lacking with processed supplementation products is simply not the answer.
Whole foods must be introduced for this purpose. This book will teach you how to sneak them (along with all their myriad health benefits) into your diet without really changing it in any way.
Written by Eric Morrison, author of "Gluten, Sugar, Starch: How To Free Yourself From The Food Addictions That Are Ravaging Your Health And Keeping You Fat - A Paleo Approach," this book references approaches to better nutrition highlighted in that work but creates an alternative plan for living better for those who have given up on changing the way they eat. Keep your bread, ice cream and potato chips; just follow the plan and gain some health benefits along the way to make you feel better again.
If this information is used in conjunction with the plan laid out in "Gluten, Sugar, Starch," you will create a powerhouse nutritional plan that will have you looking and feeling your absolute best.
Morrison states in his introduction to this book that "there are no meals to be found within these pages as we won’t be dieting and substituting unhealthy for healthy in an attempt to lose weight or feel better. Instead, we’ll just sneak the things you’ll make from this program into your normal way of eating. For example, you can keep drinking your morning coffee with half and half and sugar as you have done as far back as you can remember. Or, you can create an easy to prepare and delicious velvety latte using coconut oil as one of the main ingredients. It is made with healthy and natural coconut sugar which has a very pleasant caramel-like hint to it with all of the sweetness of table sugar while causing none of the metabolic damage table sugar is now known for. There is no insulin spike from this drink so therefore, there is no crash to come later, like while you’re trying to be productive at work. It is free from dairy products (which may be tearing up your gut in ways you don't realize but will once it's gone from your coffee). Additionally, the coconut oil has appetite-suppressing properties (along with a list of healthful benefits) which could mean you don’t eat breakfast which, as readers of GSS know, I am a big fan of skipping. The main point to be seen by this example is that by working with this program, you will begin to learn ways to get proven beneficial compounds (which are otherwise completely absent from the typical processed diet) inserted into your normal patterns of eating in ways which are neither obtrusive nor unwelcome. In fact, you will love them all. They taste better than processed food and you’ll feel good about knowing you are doing some good for your body."
Breakthroughs in gut microbiota research are startling and have begun to identify gut health as the leading indicator of overall health. Cleaning the gut cleans every other part of the body it would seem. Billions of these microorganisms - some beneficial, some destructive - reside in your gut. In a healthy individual there is a delicate interplay and balance between species of gut flora interacting in healthful symbiosis. When the gut is in distress, it becomes a harbor for disease and other maladies.
This plan promotes introducing gut-friendly foods that are either probiotic, fermented, prebiotic or nutrient dense in an effort to repopulate the gut with colonies of beneficial microbes and to lessen the incidence of disease by crowding out harmful strains of gut-dwelling bacteria.

I decided to listen to this because it's based on using real food to heal rather than supplements. There's a lot of good information here, and I like that he mentioned in the beginning that it's not about changing your diet but just adding extra in that would benefit your gut health. That said, he'll still tell you about the 'shit' food you're eating.
Morrison also has a book out on Gluten and another out on the Paleo diet, so he's against foods that don't fit into that category.
Majority of people will have already heard most of foods (like: beets, turmeric, cinnamon, olive oil, etc.) they should be eating (according to Morrison), but it's nice to have everything in one book. The only new discovery I made was coconut sugar.
This is a 2 hour audio book. The last 50 minutes is recipes for things like bone broth, pizza sauce, etc. It was published in 2017 so not everything is current, like the coconut oil hype.
