See what leading minds in health and nutrition are saying about Paleo for Life.

“It makes perfect sense to eat the ‘native’ human diet, the one on which we evolved millions of years ago. To start, we ate a plant-based diet, but we also added moderate amounts of animal foods that filled important nutrient gaps, especially for women. Paleo for Life provides everything you need to know to live a long and happy life. No one knows this subject better than Loren Cordain.” —Dr. Jennie Brand-Miller, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of The New Glucose Revolution and The Low GI Diet Revolution and emeritus professor of nutrition at the University of Sydney 

“Paleo for Life distills the latest nutritional science into easy-to-follow guidelines and delicious recipes. The science continues to grow, and it shows that adoption of The Paleo Diet is one of the most health-supportive steps for anyone with a chronic health problem. I conduct dietary research studies, and the Paleo dietary intervention consistently improves health outcomes across multiple disease states. If you want to thrive well into your nineties, this book is for you.” —Dr. Terry Wahls, MD, FACP, author of The Wahls Protocol: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principles and clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa 

“Dr. Loren Cordain’s knowledge of nutrition is exceptional. In this book, you will learn about the effects of nutrition on healthspan and lifespan—and it will change you.” —Joe Friel, coauthor of The Paleo Diet for Athletes and author of The Triathlete’s Training Bible 

“Loren Cordain is one of the true pioneers in Paleo nutrition. In his new book, Paleo for Life, he dispels myths about what a Paleo diet is and isn’t, sheds light on what foods in our ancestral pantry provide us the best chance for long and healthy lives, and gives us a blueprint of meal plans and recipes for implementing this way of eating to our greatest benefit. This important book arrives at a time when our nation’s health is in decline. It couldn’t have come at a better time.” —Mary Dan Eades, MD, and Michael R. Eades, MD, authors of the New York Times bestselling Protein Power and The Protein Power LifePlan 

“An easily read and intelligent review of Dr. Cordain’s work on the mismatch between our physiology and what we eat. Helpful to anyone interested in improving their health by improving their diet.” —Lynda Frassetto, MD, emeritus professor of medicine and nephrology at the University of California, San Francisco 

“A comprehensive blend of nutritional and longevity science, Paleo for Life offers a nuanced survey of superfoods and dietary habits that will set you up for a vibrant, active lifestyle as you grow older. Equally valuable from your thirties to your nineties, Dr. Cordain’s approach offers a long-lasting boost to energy, mental acuity, and overall health.” —Paul Laursen, PhD, cofounder of Athletica and HIIT Science and adjunct professor at Auckland University of Technology and the University of Agder 

“This extraordinary resource is an essential, life-changing road map to optimal health that will serve you for decades to come. Masterfully balancing scientific rigor with accessibility, it illuminates how whole-food eating patterns and interventions like the addition of superfoods into your diet can revolutionize your well-being. Inspiring real-life success stories provide motivation and invaluable insights, while the exceptional recipes make implementation effortless.” —Kiira Heymann, director of strategic partnerships, learning, and community at the Non-GMO Project 

“Loren Cordain’s Paleo for Life rises above the noise. It combines state-of-the art knowledge from nutritional, health, and biomedical sciences with a deep understanding of the diets, foodways, and health of both living and prehistoric humans the world over. This wonderful book draws its insights and builds its recommendations through the careful integration of knowledge from the full scope of human experience. To me, that’s what makes Paleo for Life such a fundamental baseline for anyone thinking about how to improve their well-being through healthy eating.” —John D. Speth, PhD, emeritus professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor 

“Paleo for Life builds a robust foundation for health, performance, and longevity.” —Dr. Marc Bubbs, performance and clinical nutritionist and chief nutrition officer at ProBio Nutrition 

“I love how this book empowers people to understand their own health. It’s inspiring to see such a clear, science-backed path toward vitality and longevity—rooted in the kinds of whole, nutrient-dense foods our bodies were designed to thrive on. As someone deeply involved in the regenerative movement, it’s exciting to see the early threads being drawn between the health of our food and the health of our soil. Paleo for Life helps advance a deeper awareness that what’s good for our bodies can also be good for the planet—and that’s a story well worth telling.” —Finian Makepeace, cofounder of Kiss the Ground and producer of the documentaries Kiss the Ground and Common Ground 

“In 2001, Dr. Cordain gifted us with his first book, The Paleo Diet, which changed my life and that of countless others. His teachings about the most authentic, health-promoting diet for humans have transformed the way we think about what foods will make us thrive. In Paleo for Life, Dr. Cordain builds upon how to eat to be healthy now with how to live an optimally healthy life for the long term.” —Nell Stephenson, coauthor of The Paleo Diet Cookbook
