After decades of chronic constipation and failed medical treatments, Michelle Snow—a registered nurse with graduate training in public health—prayed for answers and was inspired to study the dietary doctrines of Christianity, the LDS Word of Wisdom, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Seventh-day Adventism. Comparing these ancient teachings against peer-reviewed science, she distilled ten simple rules for a whole-grain, plant-forward diet and gentle fasting. Part memoir, part nutrition guide, the book includes her food diaries and dozens of gluten-free-friendly recipes.

  • The scriptures met the science lab: a nurse tests the Word of Wisdom and other faiths' diets against peer-reviewed research
  • She prayed about her health problem—and the answer became a whole new way of eating
  • Lose weight without ever feeling hungry, using principles thousands of years old
  • Learn to fast the right way, easing in gradually instead of white-knuckling it

Perfect for a health-conscious adult—often LDS but not necessarily—curious about how the Word of Wisdom and other faiths' dietary teachings line up with nutrition science, who wants a gentle whole-foods eating plan and clean, mostly gluten-free-friendly recipes.
