What Others Are Saying

The Microbiome Diet Reset

“This is such an important book and I’m thrilled that Purdy has provided her expertise to share. Gut issues are so prevalent and really hurt people’s quality of life – I see this struggle with so many of my patients – and now I have a resource to send that supports one of our most important systems: the microbiome. It’s really hard to find guidance on the topic that is evidence-based and ‘how to’ and this book is IT. Her meal plan tips, the recipes, and the way she breaks down the information is just so helpful. This is a must-read for anyone that has a microbiome (and that’s all of us!)”

“Mary’s writing is honest, funny, and will inspire you to eat real food. I dare you to try not to fall in love with her quirky voice as she takes an honest look at her life as a nutritionist. You may just find yourself reaching for more quinoa and kale in the process, and liking it!
