It doesn’t have to be that way.
Seeing her husband face similar challenges, Dr. Kristina Lewis was inspired to learn how to combine both her research and cooking skills to help him. Her training as a naturopathic doctor, love of creating delicious meals, and desire to help her husband has inspired her to share what she's learned with the world through this unique resource guide.

What People Are Saying
Wide variety of interesting recipes
I appreciate the wide variety of interesting but accessible recipes... HH doesn’t have to mean boring meals! Nice job! One of the things about your recipes is that I’m stretching my cooking experience into new territory, which is a good thing. Preparing this recipe was an adventure appealing to multiple senses. The recipe was very easy to follow. I just now enjoyed a bowl of this lovely concoction and it was very tasty. Thanks for all of your hard work on the recipe book! The book is truly wondrous! Now I'm looking forward to spending much more time reading and cooking. What an adventure! Very, very good job on the book and on all of the help both of you provide for HH patients. Thanks to both of you. — Eva B, Longview, WA, USA
Difficult to put down!
Just received book, finding it difficult to put down! I have been supremely surprised with the effect of being cognizant of the “Six Substances” when planning my whole food plant based meals. I am feeling very optimistic about lengthening time between phlebotomies, all while enjoying feeling good. Thank you, Doctors Kristina & Eric Lewis!! — Barb C, Dallas, Texas USA
Explains why the recipes work
I think the book is laid out very well and I like all the planning that went into it. I love the way it is explained why these recipes work. I’m happy to see what a role green tea plays in the recipes. Thank you for keeping us informed on iron overload and for presenting such a lovely book! — Mary Kerner, Olean, NY, USA
Written by someone with first hand experience!
Very well researched and written! The best recipe book I have found and written by someone with firsthand experience! Really appreciate the explanations of why the different ingredients work together to inhibit iron absorption. This helps educate the reader to have a different mindset about the overall diet. I have incorporated many of the recipes into my diet. Very pleased overall! Probably one of the simplest recipes in the book is the frozen oatmeal cakes which has sure made putting together a guick breakfast easy! I just never thought about freezing oatmeal before. Also like the salmon patties and everything else I have tried! Everything so far has worked well.
Thank you for enhancing my meal times!
Myth busting with regards to food combinations! I can eat eggs & Banana! When diagnosed was told that I shouldn't eat certain foods together, so have eaten bland diet. The best and worst foods to eat for Hemo. Your recipes are invaluable and detailed giving understanding of food combinations to inhibit iron. Grab and go snacks!, Roasted Broccoli and cauliflower, Tumeric yogurt, beautiful berry bars, purple iced tea. All I've tried are nutritional and tasty. A good book written with understanding and love. Thank you for enhancing my meal times! — SKJ, United Kingdom
Helps me make my own recipes and fit the foods I like
I got my cookbook yesterday. I love it. It's really good, already using it. I like all the info on Hemochromatosis and how the foods all work together and why, especially the little explanation on why the recipes work for us. I can see how this book will teach me to make up my own recipes to fit the foods we like. The other Hemochromatosis cook book I bought does little of this and the recipes are not the types of food we eat. I was sorry I bought this other cookbook as I will never really use it. Your cookbook is very useful and I thank you for writing it. You did a great job. — Alice Marlene Boegel, Sweet Home, Oregon, USA
Far more helpful than my primary care giver
Kristina, I have meant to write and let you know how much I love the cookbook! I find they are recipes I would use and the tables are a bonus. It also helps with other home recipes and meal plans to lead you on the right path with greater ease. I have found that you and Eric have been far more helpful than my primary care giver, ( I constantly refer back to his book.). My dietary consult done initially was such a joke, as she sent me lists of foods with iron content…nothing else. People are pretty much left on their own to figure this out. I can only hope many people run across the two of you on line, as I did. You both are a true God send. Thanks for all you do! — Ellen Whitesell, Apex, North Carolina, USA
Helps with food shopping and saves time
This is Elaine, Robert's wife and chef of the family. The book is amazing and provides wonderful info. as well as very tasty recipes. It helps me with my food shopping and takes less time because I do not have to read every products iron content. You have provided what was necessary for us to know about what is best to eat and drink. We are so grateful you took the time to write the book and supply us with the recipes. Tomorrow we plan to cook and enjoy the egg with avocado. YUMM! — Robert and Elaine, USA
