Brenda Davis, RD

Brenda Davis, RD is just fabulous.  Her book Becoming Vegan is outstanding as a reference.

How Not to Die by Michael Greger, MD

This is a very comprehensive review of the science behind our top fifteen causes of death, followed by a section describing exactly what to eat.   He has a cookbook by the same name. His handy Daily Dozen food guide, is also available as an App. I refer to this guide often.

His website, NutritionFacts.org is a tremendously valuable resource. Brenda Davis, RD has published Becoming Vegan and Becoming Raw, among other books. These are terrific references. There is a chapter on pregnancy and lactation in Becoming Vegan that I found incredibly helpful for my pregnant patients. Along with pediatrician Reshma Shaw, MD, MPH, Brenda Davis published Nourish: The Definitive Plant-Based Nutrition Guide for Families is a fabulous resource for creating healthy vegan families.
