The Plant Power Doctor

The down-to-earth British GPs guide to the radical healing power of a plant-based diet.

Dr Gemma Newman is a sparkling light in the medical field. She speaks from a point of knowledge and wisdom as well as making it easy to digest. The Plant Power Doctor is packed full of leading science in a very accessible way and lots of beautiful recipes too.

David Flynn and Stephen Flynn The Happy Pear

Dr Gemma is delightful and whip-smart. May you be equal parts entertained and enlightened by her welcoming presence.

Dr Gemma is one of the few brave voices in the medical community who is experienced, courageous and confident enough to talk openly about food and its significance in preventing disease to save lives. What you choose to put on your plate is one of the most important health interventions and more plants is certainly the message we all need to hear. This book is a fantastic resource for people looking to improve their wellbeing and I'm personally inspired by Gemma's resilience and effort.

Dr Rupy Aujla (Bestselling author and founder of The Doctor's Kitchen)

A must read for everyone. Food really can be medicine and Gemma shows you how.

Dr Shireen Kassam (Consultant Haematologist, Founder of Plant Based Health Professionals UK)

Plant Power Doctor lays the foundation for a lifetime of good health and happiness - for both your mind and body.

Rohini Bajekal (Nutritionist and Board-Certified Lifestyle Medicine Professional)

An accessible resource, and one that is overflowing with practical, life-saving information.

Dr Newman is one of the few doctors who truly understands how to keep people healthy - instead of just treating them when they're sick. Her terrific Plant Power Doctor should be on the bookshelves of everyone who wants to live a longer, better life.

Dan Buettner (New York Times Bestselling author of The Blue Zones)

Knowledge is power and so are plant-based foods! Thanks for making it so easy to understand.
