Ultra-Processed Women

“In a cultural moment where corporations sacrifice the health of women at the altar of profit, this book couldn’t come at a more perfect time.” – Dr. Alexandra MacKillop, Food Scientist and Functional Medicine Physician

“This is a rallying call to think differently about what and how we eat, remembering our relationship with nature and each other – the story of one author’s refusal to become an ultra-processed woman. – Rob Percival, The Soil Association

“A must-read for any woman determined to escape the clutches of ultra-processed foods. It’s an empowering and accessible read, profoundly insightful and transformative.” – Jenny Tschiesche, nutritionist and author of The Unprocessed AirFryer

“In these pages, you’ll discover a deeply researched, eye-opening examination of how ultra-processed food is not just changing the way we eat, but changing the way our bodies function – particularly women’s bodies. You’ll learn how these foods interact with our hormones, disrupt our microbiomes, and influence everything from fertility to mood. And you’ll see why the conversation about nutrition must be more gender-aware, more critical, and more urgent. To every woman who’s ever wondered why she feels constantly tired, bloated, anxious, or out of sync with her own body – this book is for you. May it be a guide, a wake-up call, and a call to action.” – Sarah Parish MBE
