About this title

Review:

"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"If you want to learn more about how to optimize your performance and body composition, then read this book. Seriously."--Ryan D. Andrews, MS, MA, RD, CSCS, coach with Precision Nutrition"This book could have been a list of training tips and recipes, but Peter and Melissa take it a step further by incorporating insights from history, science and nutrition. That, combined with striking personal accounts from world-elite athletes, make it an engaging read all the way through. The NFCA is proud to find our Athletes for Awareness among these pages, and we expect this book will inspire more to come!"--Alice Bast and the team at the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness"Finally! A book that validates the science behind everything I've observed with our athletes: Gluten-free equals improved performance. Whether you show signs of gluten sensitivity or not, if you're an elite athlete or a daily jogger, get the facts from "The Gluten-Free Edge" if you want to go faster, get leaner, and have the energy to go the distance. You will be blown away by the facts in this book--and once you read it you'll never want to go back to eating, feeling and "underperforming" the way you did before. A must read for all athletes!"--Miriam G. Zacharias, PhD, MS, Vice President of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals"Nutritional needs are forefront in the minds of athletes, including trail runners. This well-written and thoroughly researched book demystifies gluten and provides a realistic approach to food as it relates to and assists with performance." --Nancy H

About the Author:

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. Peter Bronski is the coauthor of Artisanal Gluten-Free Cooking and Artisanal Gluten-Free Cupcakes and founder of the blog No Gluten, No Problem. Despite his celiac disease, he enjoys adventure sports, is a former Xterra off-road triathlon U.S. national championship competitor, and is currently an ultramarathoner. 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.
