Synopsis

Imagine you live in a community of people where there are no doctors, pharmacists or dentists, because no one needed one. It happened less than a century ago, in multiple places on the planet, and this book provides you with simple steps to help recreate it. The primary concept of this book: If a diet consistently results in jaw deformities, irregular position of teeth, tooth decay or gum disease, without orthodontic or dental hygiene interventions, and is a precursor for diabetes, obesity and coronary heart disease, it is not an optimal human diet. The diet presented in Nudge Your Health, Step 2: Nourish is a Paleo, low carb and high-fat diet that promotes the most nutritious vegetables, fruits and animal products.

Sample concepts from Nudge Your Health, Step 2: Nourish:

  1. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency (affecting more than 2 billion people). Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency is the 6th highest dietary cause of death in America.
  2. Chicken isn’t the healthiest meat choice. Compared to other meats, it is low in iron (which is the reason it is white) and omega-3 fatty acids.
  3. Americans should eat more lamb. It has about 4 times the iron of chicken and 8 times the omega-3s.
Being a third-generation, functional medicine physician has allowed Dr. Haggard to study and experiment with an unfathomable number of ways professed to be healthy. These include countless diets, numerous exercise and movement programs, varying degrees of daily activity, dietary supplements, sunlight exposure, stress reduction techniques, detoxification methods, meditation and sleep hygiene. Of all areas of health, nothing is more like a religion than nutrition. However, he is not religious about nutrition, nor does Dr. Haggard ask you to believe his nutritional concepts. He simply presents in Nudge Your Health, Step 2: Nourish the science of nutrition, and what worked best for him and his patients over the last two decades. Dr. Haggard asks you to consider the scientific evidence he presents, try the nutritional strategies that resonate with you and keep track of your results to determine what works best.

Many view eating for good health as an on and off switch, either they are on a diet or off a diet. Rather than offering a strict and rigid diet, Nudge Your Health, Step 2: Nourish seeks to meet people where they are at and encourages them to do just a little bit of action each day to be healthier, such as make and enjoy one healthy recipe each day. The first two weeks focus on different ways to prepare vegetable-based meals. The third and final week incorporates high-quality, animal meats in the mostly vegetable meals. It ends with an introduction to various types of fasting. Early success following the program will empower you to keep going and make the program enjoyable. Nudge Your Health, Step 2: Nourish is designed to subtly help you learn and implement more than 30 clinically effective strategies of nutrition therapy for healthy weight loss and preventing or treating common chronic diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes and heart disease. The step-by-step program includes both conceptual learning with daily written lessons and hands-on learning with shopping for the ingredients, preparing the meals and tracking your results. By the end of the Nudge Your Health, Step 2: Nourish program, you will have an excellent collection of nutritional tools, knowledge and experience that you can use to help you be healthy and better manage your body weight.
