Turbo-charged Nutrition for Peak Performance Kids (with recipes)
Turbo-Charged Nutrition for Peak Performance Kids is a practical, evidence-based guide to help your family escape the Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) and discover meals that truly nourish, energize, and satisfy. Research consistently shows that diets high in processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats — typical of the S.A.D. — are linked to childhood obesity, attention difficulties, and long-term health challenges (as documented in The Lancet and by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). This book gives your family a clear, simple path forward.
For over 40 years, Renee Ellison and her husband have examined every kind of diet and food theory — and tried many of them. What they’ve distilled here is the clearest, most actionable guide to family nutrition available: no overwhelming jargon, no guilt, just straightforward solutions that work even on the busiest days.
What’s Inside

- Strategies for fueling your family with foods that promote steady energy, better focus, and lasting health
- How to exchange good food choices for great food choices — one meal at a time

Readers have commented that at long last they know how to change — and are making strides toward it — because the reasoning is laid out so simply. With a little more knowledge, your family will feel healthier and happier than the vast majority of Americans do.
