Stevenson (Eat Smarter: Use the Power of Food To Reboot Your Metabolism, Upgrade Your Brain, and Transform Your Life), creator and host of the popular podcast The Model Health Show, believes that food is information for people’s bodies and argues that a wide range of healthy foods have a powerful, synergistic impact on the body that one cannot get from a pill or potion. Each chapter explores a tenet of his wellness philosophy, especially the idea that eating smarter is a family affair—one that begins when families create environments that make healthy habits automatic. Stevenson lays out scientific information alongside real habit shifts among friends and family members in ways that demonstrate actionable steps readers can take to build better habits, forge more meaningful relationships, and enjoy meals that are as functional as they are fun. He shares research about different foods and supplements before diving into some sample meal plans and recipes that put the theories to work. Most of the recipes are simple yet delicious, with room for readers to tailor them to their lifestyles and taste preferences.
VERDICT Offering simple, healthy foods with some creative flair, this cookbook is sure to appeal to readers interested in adding some new nutritional powerhouse meals to their weekly rotation and will be especially valuable for busy families.
