The Dirt Cure: Healthy Food, Healthy Gut, Happy Child

The Dirt Cure: Healthy Food, Healthy Gut, Happy Child

In this â€œcarefully researched, compellingly written game-changer for childrenâ€™s healthâ€ (Mark Hyman, MD), Maya Shetreat-Klein, MD, reveals the shocking contents of childrenâ€™s food, how itâ€™s seriously harming their bodies and brains, and what you can do about it. And she presents a nutritional plan for getting and keeping children healthyâ€”that any family can follow.

Chronic diseases in children are rising dramaticallyâ€”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 hit a developmental plateau. 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 brainâ€¦and heal the child.

Recent changes in growing and processing food harm kidsâ€™ gut microbiomes, immune systems, and brains, contributing to chronic disease. Dr. Maya â€œconvincingly argues the case for a dirt-filled but chemical-free lifeâ€ (Publishers Weekly). She used fresh foods and nature to heal not only her son but chronically ill patients from around the world from the inside out and the outside inâ€”and now makes it available in The Dirt Cure. â€œFull of scientific information presented in a fun and informative way, [with] concrete evidence that good food can transform oneâ€™s life,â€ (Publishers Weekly), The Dirt Cure shares success stories from Dr. Mayaâ€™s practice and her 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. â€œReader-friendlyâ€ (Kirkus Reviews), this paradigm-shifting â€œtour de force prescriptionâ€¦to fight and prevent chronic diseaseâ€ (Robert K. Naviaux, MD, PhD) empowers you to transform your childâ€™s health through food and ensure the long-term wellbeing of your kids and the entire family.
