The Dirt Cure: Growing Healthy Kids with Food Straight from Soil

In the tradition of Michael Pollan, Mark Hyman, and Andrew Weil, pioneering integrative pediatric neurologist Maya Shetreat-Klein, MD, reveals the shocking contents of childrenâ‚¬s food, how itâ‚¬s seriously harming their bodies and brains, and what we can do about it. And she presents the first nutritional plan for getting and keeping children healthyâ‚¬"a plan that any family can follow.

New alarming studies show the dramatic rise of chronic disease in childrenâ‚¬"from allergies and ADHD to mental illnesses and obesity. A traditionally trained pediatric neurologist and a parent herself, Dr. Maya encountered the limits of conventional medicine when her son suffered a severe episode of asthma on his first birthday and began a backward slide in his development. Treatments failed to reverse his condition, so Dr. Maya embarked on a scientific investigation, discovering that food was at the root of her sonâ‚¬s illness, affecting his digestive system, immune system, and brain. The solution was shockingly simple: Heal the food, heal the gut, heal the brain...and heal the child.

Recent changes in growing and processing food harm kidsâ‚¬ gut microbiomes, immune systems, and brains, contributing to chronic disease. Dr. Mayaâ‚¬s plan started with the soil, using fresh foods and nature to heal her son from the inside out and the outside in. Since then, sheâ‚¬s successfully helped chronically ill patients from around the world. Revealing the profound connections between food, nature, and childrenâ‚¬s health, Dr. Maya explains how food is constantly changing kidsâ‚¬ bodies, brains, and even genesâ‚¬"for better or for worse. She also shares success stories from her practice and tips as a working mother of three on stocking healing foods (from veggies to chocolate!), reading labels, and getting even picky eaters into the new menu. This paradigm-shifting book empowers you to transform your childâ‚¬s health through food and ensure the long-term wellbeing of your kids and the entire family.
