Jenny Carr has blessed us with her extensive knowledge on inflammation.

You are what you eat or perhaps more accurate is you are what your stomach absorbs, and this is something that I use in my clinical practice every day. Jenny Carr does a great job teaching the most important aspect of health using her own experience, science, and practical know-how, and that is your food intake. This book will teach you how to eat in the real world, and will can help you gain control of your health and start living instead of merely surviving. I recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with their health, doesnt know where to start with a diet, or needs parameters for health daily eating. Its a great addition to anyones library and knowledge base. If you want to achieve and maintain optimal health, this is the book for you.

To my mom and dad, who continue to walk beside me as we forge a path toward healing and vibrancy. Thank you for your unwavering support. And for Tosh, Chloe, and Brock. It is your love and encouragement at each step of my journey that have allowed this book to come to fruition. I am so grateful.
Foreword
S o many nutrition books are repeat information that its rare when one of them really breaks out and teaches you something in a memorable way. This is one of those books. Its that good.
Jenny Carr came to my office as a patient in 2014. She had been studying overseas, and had become ravaged by a parasitic infection. I was fortunate to be one of the doctors who helped Jenny put her life back in order.
What sets Jenny apart is her ability to take control of and accept responsibility for her health. She walks her talk by not only writing about what she teaches, but living it. She beat the sugar addiction.
In these pages, youll learn about the power of water, how your emotions affect your health, how to reprogram your triggers for unhealthy foods, and even how to breathe. Youll learn how to put your body back in harmony and balance by going to the very root of the problem, whether its low energy, chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, or autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Sjogrens, and lupus.
Hippocrates urges us, Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.
This cannot be overstated. We cannot overestimate the effect diet has on health. We have a saying in the office: You are what you eat and if you are what you eat, are you fast, cheap, and easy? Our fast and processed food culture has made it convenient and easy to get food that tastes good but has very little nutritional value. Worse, it can inflame us and compromise our health.
Peace of Cake is one of the best resources Ive found for learning how to swap out unhealthy, inflammatory ingredients for healthy ones and includes dozens of terrific recipes that walk the reader through how to do just that. Youll learn how to make everything from healthy pancakes and refreshing drinks to the titular cake.
This book is a wonderful and much-needed information source for people struggling with both serious health conditions and people who just want more energy. Im recommending it to all of my patients. I believe that once you read it youll be as big a fan of Jenny Carr as I am.

Introduction
Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.
Hippocrates
I m guessing youve tried an anti-inflammatory diet. If nothing else, youve likely tried bits and pieces of an anti-inflammatory diet. It seemed to help, but falling off the wagon was inevitable, and hopping back on was much more difficult than you anticipated. You know it could have had huge impact on your life, yet the protocol makes you feel deprived, and sticking with all of the rules of anti-inflammatory eating is totally overwhelming. Where do you even begin?
