Steve Gagné is a sort of whole-foods Indiana Jones. If that sounds like a mixed metaphor, you haven’t yet seen Steve’s work. Steve has traveled ’round the globe a fistful of times, digging into ancient ruins and remote cultures, uncovering mysteries of plant genetics and ancient human origins.
Food Energetics is a sweeping tour de force, exploring food’s effects on health and consciousness and showing you how food imparts a living wisdom apart from the science of nutrient values.
Says Steve, “Food is more than simply fuel. It imparts a living wisdom that is beyond the science and mechanics of calories, grams, and nutrient values. Ancient peoples, through their relationships with the plants and animals providing their food, understood that their food conveyed the unique energetic qualities of its source, such as swiftness from wild deer and groundedness from root vegetables.”
I helped Steve write the original back in the late 1980s. In early 2006, we produced a completely revised edition. Now it has been picked up and released (all 500-plus pages of it!) by Healing Arts Press, a division of Inner Arts International, in this great-looking new edition.
If you are intrigued with how different foods affect not only your health, but also your psyche, personality and behavior, then this encyclopedic masterpiece belongs on your bookshelf!
“This book is exceptional in the field of diet today. Steve Gagné’s deep, informed perspective helps elucidate the thoughts of Michael Pollan [author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma] and gives us access to a simple, user-friendly way of understanding food.” — Joshua Rosenthal, author of Integrative Nutrition
