About this listen
They’re not faster than a speeding bullet or able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. But that doesn’t mean steel-cut oats, blackberries, ginger, and other foods can’t swoop in to save the day - or at least our diets.
Fiber, protein, micronutrients, and disease-fighting phytochemicals, superfoods like these have it all. And when combined with other healthy foods, they can improve blood sugar, cholesterol levels, and body mass index. And the best part about superfoods: They’re not trendy, eccentric, or impossible to find. They’re all tried-and-true, everyday ingredients that offer real nutritional benefits for any sort of diet imaginable.
In How Superfoods Work, reevaluate the superfoods you are (or aren’t) eating and discover ways to make your life healthier - and more delicious. Delivered by chef and practicing physician Dr. Julia Nordgren, these 12 lessons reveal the nutrition science behind readily available superfoods, including dark chocolate (an indulgent way to eat healthy), miso (whose fermented nature promotes good gut health), and cashews (the perfect replacement for creamy elements in a recipe). Using her medical expertise, Dr. Nordgren explains how these and other superfoods work for our bodies; using her culinary expertise, she reveals quick and easy recipes to get more of these superfoods on your table.

Very Interesting
This was an interesting lecture series, but not ground breaking. It is informative without being overwhelming or dumbed down. It is very American focused though, which is slightly annoying if your based outside of US. The receipies were interesting.
The narration style was engaging without being to fast. The pronouncation was clear. An interesting read.

Not what I expected
Reads/listens more like a cookery book and I couldn't get through the whole thing. Seems like more of a little passion project by the author as opposed to a vital piece of literature. Guess the 3hr run time should have been a clue, but I took that to mean it would be concise and to the point, unfortunately we get too much time spent of anecdote about time at culinary school and birthdays and tea parties attended. I feel bad being so scathing, as I'm sure the author is a lovely person, but the book just didn't provide what I was looking for in relation to the title.

Great breakdown of 12 superfoods
This lecture course describes 12 superfoods, explains why they are super and then gives some ideas for recipes for them. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a more healthy lifestyle and struggling to make some tasty yet healthy meals.

professionally trained chefs!?? don't think so...
narration is excellent and informative some things the cooking isn't good the ideas are of an amature chief she talks about being professionally trained but her suggestions of cutting ginger isn't good... hmm I'd take her cooking and preparing suggestions with finding out alternatives, story telling onpoint

I'm not a food expert
Insightful. Good narrator and decent content. I knew a fair amount already and generally skipped the recipes recommendation and the author life story.
