In Food and Nutrition: What Everyone Needs to Know® (Oxford University Press, 2025), Harvard- and Columbia-trained scientist and food lover Dr. P.K. Newby applies a multidisciplinary lens and ecological paradigm to shine a spotlight on today’s food problems, farm to fork and far beyond, while sharing the keys to creating healthy and sustainable diets for ourselves and the planet we share. Updated chapters reveal striking new data on plant-based diets, longevity, and sustainability; food and mental health; diet, COVID-19, and immunity; megafactory farming and climate change; and ultra-processed foods and chronic disease.
The Food Revolution is Now. Ready to Pick Up Your Fork?
The first edition of Food & Nutrition (2018) has been published in Chinese (2024) and Turkish (2021), and the second edition drops October 2025.
In Superfoods, a 2025 National Geographic Special 10 year edition re-release, Dr. P.K. Newby highlights 92 plants at the heart of health, longevity, and sustainability. The magazine includes shopping and cooking tips and even a few of my favorite recipes. (Think: Pan-Asian Power Bowl, Mexican Rice and Beans, and Roasted Butternut Squash Salad with Maple Vinaigrette.)
You can find Superfoods at news stands and checkout counters for a limited time beginning February 10, 2025.
