The author shares a healing journey to overcome ten years of chronic infection, anxiety, depression, infertility, hypothyroidism, and food sensitivities. Growing up in Italy, Lisa returned to ancestral foods and herbs to regain health. Lisa uncovers the sources of hunger and offers proven folk and scientific strategies for transforming cravings and changing habits, including intuitive practices, medicinal foods and herb protocols, and realignment of the gut-brain axis via the vagus nerve.
The author provides clear, easy-to-follow instructions for determining your unique constitution and how best to heal yourself. Discussing the energetics of food, Lisa explains the importance of personalized nutrition based on genetics, epigenetics, intuitive eating, and seasonal, local foods. Throughout the book, Lisa shares recipes, food lists, meal plans, and stories to illustrate the concepts discussed and to help you easily integrate your ancestral healing wisdom into your life.
Showing how to simplify your eating to cultivate wellness, this engaging and comprehensive guide to the culinary pharmacy provides all the knowledge and tools necessary to help you make your food your medicine.
