Debut author offers a Nutritious, plant-based approach to cancer prevention

In her debut book, Nutritious: Metabolic Fasting for Cancer, Queensland herbalist and founder of The Herbal Clinic, Nina Gudkovs, is on a mission to share the benefits of utilising a vegan keto diet in conjunction with treatment for people suffering from cancer.

Packed with research-backed information and delicious recipes, Nina’s main goal is to empower people to contribute to their treatment with a targeted dietary approach. ‘I am strongly motivated to provide resources and increase public awareness of the beneficial impact of plants and their phytochemicals on health. Through this diet, our aim is to make the cancer more vulnerable by minimising a ready supply of key nutrients that promote its growth.’

Dr David Wilkinson, surgical oncologist and author of Can Food Be Medicine Against Cancer? adds, ‘I have read countless scientific works and popular books on this subject (having published one myself), and this is definitely among the best. People often ask me for recipes utilising the key foods that protect against cancer, and now I can confidently direct them to Nina’s beautifully presented and illustrated book.’

A recent article published by the American Institute for Cancer Research titled ‘Does Eating Less Meat Reduce Your Risk of Cancer? A New Study Adds Nuances to the Picture’ supports the message in the book of reducing meat and increasing veggie intake for cancer prevention. 

Dr John Walters, integrative general practitioner and clinical director of the National Institute of Integrative Medicine, states, ‘This is an excellent book, well written with clear explanations. I know that it will be a valuable resource for many patients with cancer.’

Nina has ensured that implementing this diet is easy and flavoursome, with a custom fourteen-day meal plan to get you started. Each recipe is accompanied by nutritional information and colour images that bring these mouth-watering recipes to life.
