Description

An estimated 30 million Americans have trouble digesting gluten - and the most recent research suggests that gluten may have some harmful impact on us all. The common protein's effects can include muscle fatigue, stiff joints, mental fog, stomach pain, bloating, and other digestive trouble - all of which make it hard to lead an active lifestyle, much less pursue serious amateur or professional sports. For years, athletes of all levels - from daily dog-walkers to world-class tennis players - have struggled through their symptoms without help or recognition for their gluten intolerance. Now, with "The Gluten-Free Edge", they'll learn what gluten is, how to go gluten-free, and how doing so will take their game to the next level-whether or not they've been diagnosed. Grounding their program in cutting-edge nutrition and fitness science, Peter Bronski and Melissa McLean Jory - a gluten-free cookbook author and nutrition therapist, respectively, and both serious athletes with celiac disease - will address every aspect of diet and training for gluten-free fitness. All of the essentials are here - the best.

Author Biography:

Amy Yoder Begley is an American middle and long distance runner. In 2006, she was diagnosed with celiac disease, but she still went on to represent the United States in the 10,000-meter event at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. She currently lives in Oregon with her husband. Husband-and-wife team Kelli and Peter Bronski are coauthors of the popular all-purpose cookbook Artisanal Gluten-Free Cooking and Artisanal Gluten-Free Cupcakes, and cofounders of the acclaimed blog No Gluten, No Problem. Kelli is a graduate of Cornell University's prestigious School of Hotel Administration and a lifelong baker and cook. Peter is a celiac community advocate, endurance athlete, and coauthor of The Gluten-Free Edge. They live in Colorado with their three children. 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.
