How to Eat More Plants has completely transformed the way I think about food and my gut health! When I was first diagnosed with IBS, I started the low-FODMAP diet and completely restricted everything that I was sensitive to. After reading this book, I learned that restrictive diets are actually counterintuitive and cause even more problems in the long run. This book has aided me in my journey to optimal health and I am forever grateful!
