Extend the Conversation — Read Dr. Todd’s Books
Written by holistic physician Dr. Todd, Eat Yourself Super: One Bite at a Time explores how everyday nutrition can become a powerful tool for healing, vitality, and long-term wellness. Rooted in Dr. Todd’s global research into traditional healing systems and longevity practices, the book introduces readers to the concept of “superfoods” and how intentional eating habits may support a healthier life.
Centered around Dr. Todd’s Superfoods Pyramid and informed by his Secrets of Long Life research, the book breaks down nutrient-rich foods, hydration, sunshine, balance, and simple lifestyle habits into practical, approachable guidance. With easy-to-follow recipes and insights inspired by cultures known for longevity, Eat Yourself Super offers a step-by-step path toward making healthier choices—one bite at a time.
Dr. Todd's second popular book, The Forest Knows Your Name, is in acquisition with Shambhala Publications — the house that publishes Pema Chödrön and Thich Nhat Hanh. It is the spine of his life's work: three decades of fieldwork with traditional healers across five continents, translated into a clinical prescription for how to live. His first book, Eat Yourself Super, has sold more than 50,000 copies thorough his practice alone.
