: If you follow a “healthy” diet, you probably tend to eat the same foods over and over again—oatmeal, blueberries, kale, salmon, the usual “superfoods.” But that approach can actually undermine the health of our microbiomes—the master controllers of inflammation. In this book, I explain why a wide variety of plant foods—at least 30 different plants a week—can help repopulate a healthy microbiome and dramatically reduce inflammation and the risk of everything from obesity to Alzheimer’s, from heart disease to depression. The gut/brain/muscle axis is astonishing; keeping it healthy is easy, and delicious.

Stephen Perrine, Heidi Skolnik, AARP, 2023

My first New York Times bestseller shows how and why we lose muscle as we age, why that leads to fat gain, and why it’s a phenomenon called “anabolic resistance”—and not a slower metabolism—that causes our weight to increase as we age.

Danica Patrick, Stephen Perrine, 2017

I cowrote this Paleo-and-Crossfit-based program with the inspiring female NASCAR driver. Danica Patrick was the only female professional athlete who competed primarily against men, and her methods for honing her body and mind to take on these extraordinary challenges remains tremendously inspiring. Lots of beautiful photos, delicious recipes, and challenging workouts.
