“We must break the grip of ultra-processed food on our appetites, on our health, and especially on our children—their future depends on it. Courtney Swan delivers the why and the how.”—Casey Means, MD, bestselling author of Good Energy
Step into any grocery store and you’ll feel like you’re dodging a million land mines. Every aisle packed with ultra-processed food reveals an unsettling truth: Our food system was not designed to prioritize our health. Irresistible products engineered from commodity crops compete for our attention. Health claims plastered on labels of seemingly good-for-you food don’t hold water under further scrutiny. Prepackaged items feel like the only viable option for a quick, easy meal.
In Ultra Real Food, integrative nutritionist and activist Courtney Swan shows you how to disrupt this status quo and tackle the most common obstacles to eating more nourishing foods. Distilling what she learned from her advocacy work and from her podcast Realfoodology, Swan teaches you how to become a “real foodologist” who resists the food industry’s playbook and swaps out the factory-made, additive-laden products that harm our health. She explains how to:
• Streamline decision-making at the grocery store: Master the three questions to ask before adding something to your cart.
• Kick noisy foods to the curb: Retrain your and your family’s palates with approachable tips.
• Break free from diet plans and meal templates: Assemble a nourishing meal without a recipe in sight.
• Reclaim your right to real food: Help fix our broken food system through your consumer choices and activism.
Packed with simple strategies designed for real life, Ultra Real Food offers a powerful call to action and practical tools that put wholesome food and better eating within easy reach.
* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF that features resources and meal ideas from the book.
