The upcoming book, *The Herbal Physician’s Guide to Food and Nutrition for Health, Healing & Well-being*, champions the philosophy that food can serve as medicine. Authored by Dr. Paula Lockhart and Herbal Physician Renauld Deschamps, the guide underscores the profound connection between dietary choices and overall health. It emphasizes that daily food intake is not just a source of energy but a powerful tool for disease prevention, recovery, and long-term wellness. The authors advocate for a natural, plant-based approach to nutrition, enabling individuals to take charge of their health and foster healthier communities. The book highlights the Caribbean region, particularly Dominica, as a treasure trove of diverse foods and herbal resources that can support health without resorting to fad diets or pharmaceuticals. It offers a comprehensive exploration of plant-based nutrition, covering essential elements like antioxidants, minerals, and phytonutrients, while also addressing hydration and digestive health. The guide encourages a gradual transition away from ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and provides a structured three-week meal plan. It also features a rich collection of recipes inspired by Caribbean and African cuisines, including low-sugar and gluten-free options. Key topics include the role of nutrition in disease prevention, the benefits of antioxidants and minerals, strategies to reduce UPFs, and practical advice on hydration, digestion, and oral health. The book’s launch event is scheduled for October 16, 2025, at the Dominica Public Service Union in Roseau. Attendees can expect a presentation on healing foods and herbs, a Q&A session, autographed book sales, and a live demonstration of grounding techniques.
