Melissa McLean Jory, MNT, is a nutrition therapist, with a degree in exercise science and a certified yoga teacher, and has a personal interest and expertise in celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, and holistic health. She enjoys hiking, backpacking, telemark skiing, and yoga as part of what she considers her "freedom from disease" way of living. She takes her wholesome gluten-free lifestyle on the road, on the trail, or into the mountains and has found there's no reason you can't live an active (even rather extreme) lifestyle once you learn the necessary steps to clean out your body, start yourself on a healing path, and regain your energy and wellbeing. This is her first book.
The Gluten-Free Edge goes beyond simply defining gluten, giving
solid recommendations on fueling, recovering, and general health
that when put into practice will set an athlete up for superior
performance. Any hard-training athlete serious about health and
performance should read and incorporate the principles of nutrition
found in this book.--Robert Kunz, MS, Co-Founder of First
Endurance, VP Science and Technology
The Gluten-Free Edge is a great book for both the weekend warrior
and the professional. Even as an ultra-endurance swimmer and
50-year-old competitive athlete, I found much to learn. The authors
help you navigate a complicated subject with simple and personal
stories that everyone can understand.--Bruce Gordon, marathon
swimmer and the first person to swim the 18 miles across Lake Coeur
d'Alene
The Gluten-Free Edge provides very powerful personal stories and
lessons for anyone contemplating the shift toward a gluten-free
lifestyle. Great insights for athletes and non-athletes alike,
especially those suffering from celiac disease or undiagnosed
gluten intolerance.--Seth Bronheim, MS, RD, CDN, Director of
Nutrition and Fitness, Generation UCAN www.generationucan.com
