by Judy Cho (Foreword by), Elizabeth Bright (Author)
In Good Fat Is Good for Girls, Dr. Elizabeth Bright confronts historical myths about female adolescence that still harm young women's health today. She traces biased medical practices from the Victorian era through the over-prescription of hormones and antidepressants today. Bright exposes the flawed societal narratives pathologizing puberty and rushing to medicate, arguing for a more nutrition-based approach instead.
Detailing the impact of nutrient deficiencies and environmental toxins, Bright advocates correcting these with a low-carb, animal-based diet rich in iodine to support hormone health. Her groundbreaking analysis of the interconnected physiology, psychology, and nutrition of adolescence prompts a radical rethinking of women's healthcare. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to dismantle outdated narratives and take authority over their physical and mental well-being.
