Superfoods: Eat Your Way to Health and Longevity

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.

Evidence-Based Answers to Essential Food and Nutrition Questions

From plant-based meat to ultra-processed foods, GMOs to grass-fed beef, misinformation doesn’t make it easy for eaters just trying to get a healthy meal on the table. There is an urgent need for evidence-based guidance that nurtures good health, wellbeing, and green eating, and  Dr. P.K. Newby heeds the call, addressing 158 bite-sized questions on why what we eat matters while sharing the keys to creating healthy and sustainable diets.  Newby’s passion for all things food shines through it all—and so does her belief in the power of the human spirit, science, and technology to create a brighter food future for ourselves and the planet we share.


Food & Nutrition (2018) has been published in Chinese and Turkish, and the completely updated second edition drops Fall 2025.
