CONTENTS
What youre about to learn from Ross Bridgeford has never been more important.
It is no secret that were facing a health crisis, and that its reaching epidemic proportions. Obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, Alzheimers, and autoimmune diseases like arthritis have reached frightening levels. For all the billions of dollars were spending on diet books and programs, and for all the trillions were spending on high-tech medical interventions, most people just keep getting fatter and sicker.
Whats driving this cycle of disease?
Its the food.
Research has proven that the number-one factor fueling our epidemic of degenerative disease is the modern diet. From digestive complaints and reflux to conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimotos thyroiditis, and so much more, the food we eat is promoting sickness and suffering.
If your arteries become so clogged that you die, you might see heart attack listed as the cause of death. But the truth is, heart attack wont really be the cause of death. It will have been a diet and lifestyle that made a heart attack predictable.
The major illnesses of our times arent actually causes of deaththeyre symptoms. The modern diet is creating an environment that sets the stage for sickness and disease to be almost inevitable.
So what the heck should you eat?
Everybody and their brother has an opinion. We hear that fat is bad, then we hear that its the best way to stay thin. We hear that coconut oil is a magic cure-all for everything, and then we hear that its poisonous. We hear that animal products cause heart disease, and then we hear that butter and bacon are back. Your acupuncturist, your naturopath, and your opinionated aunt all give you different advice. And chances are, your doctor acts as if what you eat hardly matters at all.
Today we have access to billions of web pages, tens of thousands of books, and hundreds of thousands of so-called experts offering nutritional insights and information.
Unfortunately, they all seem to point in different directions. And many of them are wrong.
In a sea of confusion, the status quo prevails. Unfortunatelyeven tragicallywe all know where that leads.
I dont know the reason you have this book in your hands right now. It could be because youre in a crisis situation, facing a serious diagnosis, or it could be because you want to experience more energy and vitality in your life. But whatever the reason, heres the reality: If you want to thrive, if you want to love your life, if you want a vibrant and fabulous relationship with food and with your body, then youre in the right place.
When Ross told me he was writing this book, I was delighted for two reasons. One, because I know Ross has helped to transform thousands of lives, and I want the whole world to have the benefit of his message.
