Overview
This two-book paperback set pairs one of the most influential trauma books of the last decade with a practical guide to food-based wellbeing. The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk is a #1 New York Times bestseller that reshaped trauma recovery understanding. Hidden Healing Powers of Super & Whole Foods complements it with an accessible look at how whole foods support the body's natural healing, rounding out this introduction to mind-body wellness.
About the Books
The Body Keeps the Score: Mind, Brain and Body in the Transformation of Trauma draws on decades of clinical research to show how traumatic experience reshapes the brain, nervous system, and body. Van der Kolk, a Boston-based psychiatrist and pioneering trauma researcher, moves beyond talk therapy and medication to explore evidence-informed approaches — including movement, neurofeedback, and body-based therapies — that help survivors reconnect with a sense of safety and control. It has become a touchstone text for therapists, educators, and readers seeking to understand the lasting imprint of trauma.
Hidden Healing Powers of Super & Whole Foods takes a complementary angle, focusing on preventative health through diet. Published by Iota Publishing, it offers an accessible, layman's guide to nutrient-rich plant-based foods and their known and believed health benefits, encouraging readers to see everyday fruit, vegetables, nuts, and grains as tools for supporting the body's own capacity to regenerate, detoxify, and defend against illness. Together, the two titles bridge trauma-informed psychological insight with practical, food-first preventative care.
