From the New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo Approach and The Healing Kitchen comes the most comprehensive resource to date for those seeking a scientifically founded nutritional approach to optimal health. In her signature approachable yet comprehensive style, Sarah Ballantyne, PhD, has laid a complete foundation for understanding the principles of the Paleo template in order to inform and empower people's day-to-day choices. Combined with an unprecedented collection of practical strategies, tips, and visual guides, plus more than 200 delicious recipes and twenty meal plans for a variety of health goals, this book is a one-stop-shop for nutrition nerds, health nuts, and gourmands alike.

The Paleo diet is a nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory whole-foods diet based on eating a variety of quality vegetables, meats, seafood, fruits, eggs, nuts, seeds, healthy fats, herbs, and spices. It is clinically proven to improve health by providing complete and balanced nutrition while omitting most processed and refined foods and empty calories. Far from being a historical re-enactment, the Paleo framework is derived from thousands of scientific studies that illuminate our understanding of which foods support health and which foods undermine it. Combined with attention to essential lifestyle factors like physical activity, sleep, and stress, the Paleo template is quite simply the most robust approach out there for optimal health, performance, and longevity!

With the perfect balance of detailed explanations, accessible summaries of actionable information, and visual guides, Paleo Principles provides everything readers need to achieve their best health. Beyond a set of rules, this book teaches precisely why some foods are better choices than others while providing indispensable resources like food lists, shopping guides, and cooking how-tos. Health comes from more than just the foods on our plates, however, which is why Dr. Ballantyne also incorporates a focus on lifestyle factors known to improve health, including being active, getting enough sleep, managing stress, and connecting with community.

People needn't worry that following a Paleo-style diet will leave them feeling hungry or deprived. Healthy re-creations of family-friendly favorites, from pizza to pancakes, prove that you can regain your health and love every bite! Paleo Principles contains more than 200 nutritious Paleo recipes that are free of gluten, grain, dairy, legumes, and refined sugar--including kitchen basics, breakfasts, soups and salads, main dishes, side dishes, baked goods, and desserts—all labeled for the top eight allergen ingredients as well as other common food sensitivities, like FODMAPs and nightshades, and the Autoimmune Protocol.

Adapt the Paleo template to serve your specific needs and health goals by using Paleo Principles' guides on customizing macronutrient ratios, navigating gray-area foods, troubleshooting chronic illnesses and food sensitivities, transitioning to a Paleo-style diet, understanding your body's individual response to different foods, and balancing Paleo priorities with competing interests for lifelong success. Combine these resources with twenty meal plans reflecting the most common health objectives, and you have the know-how to personalize your plan to fit your life.

Join the millions of people taking back their health by following a Paleo lifestyle. Whether your goal is to lose weight, increase performance, reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors, prevent cancer, mitigate autoimmune disease, reverse diabetes, or simply achieve your best health, Paleo Principles gives you answers and a veritable toolkit to make lasting, positive change toward better health.

Review

If you want to restore your digestive health, balance hormones, and support your immune system, then Paleo Principles is the book for you. Dr. Ballantyne offers the latest medical research, nutrition advice, and Paleo recipes to transform your health. She has created a comprehensive and well-researched guide to better health through nutrition and lifestyle. Not only will Paleo Principles help you reach your health goals, but it will most likely have you feeling better than ever before.

Josh Axe, DNM, CNS, DC, founder of DrAxe.com, bestselling author of Eat Dirt and co-founder of Ancient Nutrition

Twenty years ago the Paleo diet had a few review papers or references in anthropology books and papers. Many detractors cited a “lack of research” to support the Paleo diet/Ancestral health template. That story has changed. We now have well-conducted human trails on a host of different topics, with a consistent theme which paints the Paleo diet as safe, effective, and beneficial over the long haul. There are still detractors who cite a paucity of research, but we now have Dr. Sarah Ballantyne’s Magnum Opus, Paleo Principles, which compiles and puts into context the vast body of research which now encompasses the Paleo diet.

Robb Wolf, New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired to Eat

Reading Paleo Principles is like having a heart-to-heart with one of the world’s foremost experts on health in your kitchen—not only does Dr. Ballantyne take the time to thoroughly explain the science behind the Paleo template, but her understanding and compassion shine through in her writing. With this book, not only will you find answers to your health challenges, but an ally for your health journey.

Izabella Wentz, PharmD, FASCP, pharmacist and New York Times bestselling author of Hashimoto's Protocol

In Paleo Principles, Dr. Ballantyne lays the complete scientific foundation for the Paleo lifestyle while providing a huge collection of practical tips, visual guides, delicious recipes, and meal plans. Her book is a complete guide to achieving your best health.

Chris Kresser MS, LAc, New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo Cure

Sarah Ballantyne’s brilliant new book—packed with science, easy-to-follow advice, and luscious recipes— holds all the answers you need to go from overweight, overmedicated, and fatigued to slim, energetic, and healthy. If you’re ready to change your life, read this book now.

Kellyann Petrucci, MD, New York Times bestselling author, Dr. Kellyann’s Bone Broth Diet, and host of the PBS special 21 Days to a Slimmer, Younger You

Crack open this encyclopedic tome, which answers more questions in its jam-packed pages than you ever thought to ask about diet, lifestyle, and health. Sarah’s exhaustive, all-in-one textbook for Paleo living leaves no stone unturned!

About the Author

Sarah Ballantyne, PhD, earned her doctorate degree in medical biophysics from the University of Western Ontario at age 26. She spent the next four years doing research on innate immunity, inflammation, critical care medicine, gene therapy, and epithelial cell biology at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, and at the University of Arizona before becoming a stay-at-home mom, a decision motivated largely by her poor health at the time.

After her second daughter was born, Dr. Ballantyne began to experiment with the Paleo lifestyle. It had an amazing effect on her health, contributing to her 120-pound weight loss. Over time, she healed herself of a laundry list of physical complaints, including irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux, migraines, anxiety, asthma, allergies, psoriasis, and the autoimmune skin condition lichen planus.

Inspired by her success, Dr. Ballantyne created the popular and award-winning health blog www.ThePaleoMom.com and became co-host of a top-rated syndicated podcast, The Paleo View. Together, her passion for providing straightforward explanations of the science behind her diet and lifestyle recommendations for managing autoimmune disease and her conviction that healing your body does not have to come at the expense of enjoying food form the foundation of her books, The Paleo Approach and The Paleo Approach Cookbook. --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Comprehensive guide to understanding how of nutrition and lifestyle can change one's health

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have just started reading Paleo Principles, but I can see that it is up to the high standards of Dr. Ballantyne's previous book Paleo Approach which I have read. As another reviewer said, I am reading this a little at a time in order to understand and absorb the information. It is important to know the scientific "why" behind the paleo lifestyle in order to customize it according to one's health issues.

Dr. Ballantyne has a rare talent for being able to compile information from numerous research studies and scientific papers, and translate that information to make it understandable for the lay person without "dumbing" it down. My only complaint--it would be easier to read and use if it were a two book set with the recipes and meal plans in the second book.

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease or is currently struggling to find answers to health issues, then this is the book you need to fully understand the road ahead. Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is an authority on the science and she presents the information in a beautiful way for anyone to understand whether you are interested in the science or the practical side. She is a champion for everyone that has ever suffered with mystery illness because she has battled through several. I am so grateful to Dr. Ballantyne for taking a big leap of faith and writing such a comprehensive book. This book will be the #1 reference for the rest of my life as I move forward in my new lifestyle as a recently diagnosed person with celiac disease.

Terrific!! I can't stop read it!! I pull my yellow highlighted as soon as I started to read it. I felt that this book was made just for me! Don't be intimidated by the size of this book, it is an easy read even if you are not a scientist. I've been enjoying a lot of the cross references available in all the chapters and pictures that makes this book easily accessible for everyone!!. You can read one chapter at a time in any order. This is an excellent reference book to come back to it again and again. It has answered many questions that I had and clarify other concepts that I did not understand, like the use of HCl and Digestive Enzymes. Sara has made this book so easy to read that she have a lot of italic recommendation on "Easy Paleo Button", "Healthy Quick-Start" (My favorite so far is eat 8 cups of veggies, 2 for breakfast, 3 for lunch and 3 for dinner). She has also made the science interesting with her "Knowledge Bombos" and "Science Simply" in italic and with cute pictures, that even my 11 year old enjoys it!. Thanks Sarah for sharing your knowledge with us!

good book

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2019

So far what I have read seems solid, and I really like how the book is written. It is easy to understand, and the information in it seems solid. Then why four stars and not five stars? I don't believe in evolution of man from ape, it goes against there being a creator that made humans unique and specific. I do not believe you can evolve into something which can think and reason, from something that cannot, and only acts on instinct. Besides that section, I like the rest of the book and the information it presents. All the information regarding fats, proteins, etc. is well written. I'd buy it again.

LOVE this book and have already felt results healing my leaky gut!

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2017

You wanna to find out what this Paleo life style or Auto immune protocol is all about? Well this book has everything about those two subjects and much much more. I'm not kidding when I say this book if informative and written in a way everyone can understand. The author breaks down with great detail the science behind Paleo and gives you great easy recipes and detailed food plans. Even breaks down your grocery list and day to day breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack plans. The book is really a text book for Paleo, a one stop shop for all Paleo. I have already tried many recipes in this book and love the pancakes and bone broth the best. I also have already felt better since starting eating more. Not every plan is for everyone so take that into account but If you are looking for something to help with you gut or overall inflammation in your body, you should give this book a try.

A great comprehensive Paleo book

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is the comprehensive Paleo science book I have been looking for and was afraid I would never find. I transitioned to Paleo after exhausting all traditional treatment options for carpal tunnel syndrome and some other health issues but still having continuous pain and symptoms. So I began researching and reading the few books I could I find that explained the science behind Paleo. But I still had tons of questions on the science behind why some non-Paleo and also Paleo safe foods affected me and others did not. I am only a few chapters into the book, but it is already giving me the answers I was hoping to find. I have been calling the book a textbook because it is that comprehensive.

This is a great big book with tonnes of information in it.
I’m training to be a nutritional therapist and get a bit fed up with the mainstream text books quoting out of date and misrepresented data in regards to a lot of REAL food.
Really good to be able to check in on this text and remind myself I’m not going totally mental 🤣

Every household and doctor's office should have and read this book. The book has a wealth of information, some very scientific but other chapters are easier for the layman to understand and follow. Ditch the processed and inflammatory foods and get your health and life back.
