Our food is making us sick. Really sick. Driving soaring rates of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, multiple cancers, serious gut health problems and more. The food we eat has become the world's number one cause of long-term illness and hospitalisation. Yet, for most people, their doctor has never talked with them about food.

This book is here to fill in the blanks. Drawing on over 20 years of experience as a doctor and gastroenterologist, Dr Alan Desmond shows the powerful connection between what you eat and how you feel-both today and for the rest of your life. He dives into the science of food and health, cuts through the confusion, and reveals what your doctor hasn't told you about how your daily choices can prevent or even reverse chronic diseases.
