Wisdom from thousands of years ago told us that "food is medicine." In the 20th century, modern science conveyed that "food is information, "with signals from a single meal powerful enough to change our gene expression. In the 21st century, Dr. Deanna Minich details the new concept of how we have moved into the realm of "food is connection". Through the experience of eating, she shows us how we can connect to seven aspects of our self. By being in relationship with one's whole self through the unifying act of eating, one feels complete, invigorated, vital, and much more balanced in everyday life.
