"Deep Nutrition" by Catherine Shanahan is an enlightening journey through the intersection of genetics, diet, and the enduring wisdom of our ancestors. Shanahan, with her expert insight, unveils the profound impact of nutritional choices on our physical form, health, and even genetic expression. Drawing from a rich tapestry of dietary traditions—from the ancient Egyptians to the Maasai, from the shores of Japan to the vineyards of France—she identifies the universal cornerstones of human health found in the Four Pillars of World Cuisine. These pillars, she argues, are not just dietary choices but are the keys to unlocking extraordinary health and beauty, passed down through generations as a testament to the power of eating well. In "Deep Nutrition," Shanahan doesn't just offer a diet plan; she invites us on a transformative exploration of how our ancestors harnessed the power of food to shape their anatomy and, consequently, our own. Integrating cutting-edge research in physiology and genetics, she makes a compelling case for the critical role of traditional foods in our lives today. As we navigate a modern world saturated with conflicting nutritional advice, "Deep Nutrition" emerges as a beacon of clarity, offering profound insights into how we can reclaim our health destiny. This book is not merely a guide to eating; it's a manifesto for a revolution in our approach to food, urging us to embrace the wisdom of the past to forge a healthier future.

A great starting point. - Preston Pysh
Epigenetic researchers study how our own genes react to our behavior, and they’ve found that just about everything we eat, think, breathe, or do can, directly or indirectly, trickle down to touch the gene and affect its performance in some way.
— Catherine Shanahan, Deep Nutrition
