Navigating American Food: Eat Smarter. Feel Better. Live Longer. (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798993761404)

The American food system was never designed to make you well.

It was designed to keep you craving, confused, and coming back for more.

In Navigating American Food, Roxanne Koteles delivers a bold, science-backed roadmap for reclaiming your health in a world of misleading labels, hidden sugars, and "healthy" products that quietly fuel inflammation, fatigue, and chronic disease.

This is not another fad diet.

It is a reset.

With over 26 years of clinical nutrition experience, Roxanne has helped clients lose over 100 pounds, restore energy, stabilize blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and rebuild hope-one smart, satisfying bite at a time.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Spot the marketing traps that keep Americans stuck
• Use modern tools like the smart scale to track real progress beyond weight
• Apply the carbohydrate formula to everyday food choices
• Hydrate correctly to restore metabolism, clarity, and stamina
• Move your body before stress and inflammation reshape it
• Build meals that support longevity without restriction or deprivation

Structured around three powerful parts-Eat Smarter, Feel Better, Live Longer-this book bridges cutting-edge nutrition science with real-life practicality.

And for readers navigating cancer-or supporting someone who is-these pages offer deeply grounding support. Roxanne's recipes are designed with phytonutrients, anti-inflammatory ingredients, and cellular-supportive nutrition in mind, helping provide strength, nourishment, and clarity during complex health journeys. This is food that supports resilience while still being genuinely comforting and delicious.

You'll also discover a modern recipe approach unlike any other: desserts made with natural sweeteners, gluten-free flours rich in nutrients, and ingredient combinations crafted not just for flavor-but for healing.

This is not about eating "perfect."

It is about eating with clarity.
