New Book: The Energetics of Food
By Steve Gagné
It’s back, bigger and better than ever! The underground classic on food, health and energetic nutrition in a new updated and expanded edition.
Energetics of Food is the unique book of lost wisdom that goes beyond the conventional linear approach to nutrition—with its endless mire of calories, isolated nutritional components and politically-correct dietetics—and penetrates to the heart of food. Even though we live in a culture with sophisticated technology with seemingly unlimited resources for learning, we still don’t know how to eat or how to manage this most primary relationship. Rooted in the traditions of our ancestors and the commonsense philosophy that founded the natural healing modalities of traditional peoples the world over, Energetics of Food will change the way you perceive food and nutrition. Now you can get to know food on a deeply personal level, beyond weights and measures. Energetics of Food will show you how the foods you eat affect your life at every level. Not only will you learn the true meaning of “You are what you eat” — you'll also learn why and how you are what you eat!

A Review of The Energetics of Food by Scott Ohlgren
One of the few referral books I'll keep forever, December 7, 2007
One of the most important insights for anyone who has personally experienced the diet/disease, diet/symptom connection is the awareness of inevitable food diet dogma--meaning, the initial tendency for any student of natural health to create fairly hard-edged principles around what is Right Food and Wrong Food and believe them as incontrovertibly true for the rest of their life and for all of humanity. Generally at that moment, a student of natural health will join one of churches--er I mean groups--that best fit those beliefs, be it the All Raw group, or Vegetarianism, or Macrobiotic/Vegan/Natural Hygiene/Paleolithic or any other of the well-known food philosophies.
It is at that point that I suggest purchasing a copy of Steve Gagné's The Energetics of Food. Like a master cult de-programmer, Gagné gently helps dislodge hard-earned dogma that any of us students of natural health inevitably have gathered over the years of study, and through the cunning use of a concept called logic, he gets us to see a wider view on what food is, what it isn't, and how it's been used historically by healthy cultures throughout the world to heal and stay healthy.
The thing I love the most about The Energetics of Food is not that it gives one more bunch of dogma to set up and believe. In fact, the author encourages the reader to realize that we're each our own walking Petri dish, and to find conclusions in their own health and culinary experiment. More, the brilliance of the book is that it gets you thinking. In ways you wouldn't expect. I found myself going, "hmm... hadn't thought of that" throughout the pages, and then I'd find that my next few days' meals would be influenced by his ideas.
Whether you are just waking up to the realization that most of your symptoms are diet related, or are an old salt in the study of the food and health connection, The Energetics of Food is simply one of those must-have books. And I'd bet money that it will remain in your library as a reference tool for decades to come.
