I'm pleased to announce that Feeding Your Family the Anti-Inflammatory Way has been sold to Jackie Musser at Adams Media, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.
Chronic inflammation is the common thread linking diabetes, asthma, obesity, inflammatory
bowel disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis, depression, cancers, and a host of other conditions. While we think of most of these as adult diseases, they are occurring much more frequently in children and adolescents. The good news is that most are preventable, even reversible—and there is substantial evidence that an anti-inflammatory lifestyle can help. Feeding Your Family the Anti-Inflammatory Way provides parents with an easy to use, medically accurate, and child-specific guide to anti-inflammatory eating that puts it all into practice with 100 simple, tasty recipes that are straightforward to prepare and cover the span of infancy through adolescence.
There is a lot of misinformation, snake oil, and "superfood speak" about anti-inflammatory foods. This is not that. The team of five authors includes Dr. Maria Mascarenhas, a pediatric gastroenterologist who directs a comprehensive pediatric integrative nutrition program at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), the top pediatric hospital in the U.S.; Dr. Hilary McClafferty, a national expert in integrative pediatrics, immediate past chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Integrative Medicine, and the creator of the Pediatric Anti-Inflammatory Food Pyramid; Dr. Jonathan Deutsch, a Professor at Drexel University and the head of the Drexel Food Lab, a good food product development and culinary innovation lab; Chef Alexandra Zeitz, the head of culinary development at Saxby’s, a fastcasual restaurant chain; and Chef Stefania Patinella, the Executive Chef for Amherst College. Together they will help parents lay the foundation of good health in themselves and in their children.
