Food Energetics: The Spiritual, Emotional, and Nutritional Power of What We Eat
“One of the most important insights for anyone who has personally experienced the diet/disease, diet/symptom connection is the awareness of inevitable food diet dogma--meaning, the initial tendency for any student of natural health to create fairly hardedged principles around what is Right Food and Wrong Food and believe them as incontrovertibly true for the rest of their life and for all of humanity. Generally at that moment, a student of natural health will join one of the groups that best fit those beliefs, be it the All Raw group, or Vegetarianism, or Macrobiotic/Vegan/ Natural Hygiene/Paleolithic or any other of the well-known food philosophies. Gagné gently helps dislodge this dogma and gets us to see a wider view of what food is, what it isn’t, and how it has been used by healthy cultures throughout the world to heal and stay healthy. Whether you are just waking up to the realization that most of your symptoms are diet related or are an old salt in the study of the food and health connection,Food Energeticsis simply a must-have book.” (Scott Ohlgren, author of The 28-Day Cleansing Program)“Food Energeticsis a comprehensive, easy-to-understand, and absolutely essential explanation of the spiritual dimensions of food. If you believe in the concept of living things having a soul, this book describes the soul qualities in all of our foods. Here is the ultimate explanation of the term soul food.” (Russell Mariani, author of Healing Digestive Illness)“Nobody understands the power, magic, and impact of food better than Steve Gagné. Prepare to read, eat, and be transformed!” (John David Mann, coauthor of The Go-Giver:A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea)“This book is exceptional in the field of diet today. Steve Gagné’s deep, informed perspective helps elucidate the thoughts of Michael Pollan and gives us access to a simple, user-friendly way of understanding food.” (Joshua Rosenthal, author of Integrative Nutrition)
