Clean Cuisine Cookbook

Ivy Larson was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of twenty-two, which inspired her to radically overhaul her diet and lifestyle. With the help of her husband, Andy, a physician, Ivy developed an anti-inflammatory nutrition program that has kept the symptoms of her disease in remission for more than twenty years. A foodie interested in clean eating long before it was popular, Ivy has worked for two decades to develop and perfect mouthwatering recipes that appeal to the whole family. She is the founder of cleancuisine.com and the author of four top-selling nutrition books. Ivy’s Clean Cuisine has helped tens of thousands of people with all kinds of inflammatory medical conditions improve their health and regain their quality of life. Ivy’s story and her expertise in nutrition and clean cooking have made her a popular figure among national media outlets. She has appeared on Good Morning America, Fox News, CNN, Martha Stewart Radio, and The Montel Show, and she has hosted nutrition, cooking, and fitness segments on Lifetime Television. Her recipes and healthy lifestyle advice have been featured in Time Magazine, US News and World Report, Fitness Magazine, Life & Style, Get Active, Oxygen, Woman’s Day, Woman’s World, First for Women, and many others.
