This book came about after many requests for nutrition guidance from friends, family, and our local gym Southern Peak CrossFit.

The recipes incorporate all the wholefoods from the earth: vegetables, fruits, grains, red and white meats, fish, legumes, dairy, and healthy fats. Based on a Mediterranean way of eating, this style is the gold standard in preventive medicine and has consistently been linked to multiple health benefits such as weight loss, decreased heart disease risk, and reduced blood pressure—and it may also decrease the risk of cancer, stroke, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

With twenty-four delicious recipes, all of which are flavoursome, quick, affordable, and balanced, you’ll surely feel full and nourished every day. Included are Lindsey’s trade secret dressings and sauces, as well as Brad’s better balanced wholesome mains!

We intend for this book to provide you with a simple meal structure, foundation, and recipes that will give your body what it needs. We hope that it helps answer some questions and encourages you to take a few steps forward in your own health journey.
