結合原始飲食和印度傳統養生術，一名綜合科醫師展示一套最切合人體需要的健康計劃。

在《The Paleovedic Diet》一書中，綜合科醫生暨本書作者Akil Palanisamy提供一個全面的健康藍圖，利用原始飲食法（Paleo diet：水果、蔬菜、瘦肉、好脂肪等）和經時間驗證和最新科學實驗的印度傳統醫術阿育吠陀（Ayurveda）幫助你擁有最佳的健康。作者將這些複雜的醫術理論變得易於理解和易實行的方法，傳遞簡單、人性化的飲食和貼近日常生活的計劃，重塑身體內至外的健康和美態。

擁有醫學訓練和臨床經驗的作者，同時對功能性醫學和印度傳統醫學阿育吠陀有深入研究，把天然和人體結構結合傳統養生智慧，提供讀者簡單的測試，從而了解自身身體的需要。根據阿育吠陀的說法，人體由最少一種至三種物質構成，三種物質分別是運動能量（Vata：空間與氣組成）、代謝能量（Pitta：火與水組成），或是強度能量（Kapha：水與地組成），共有十個組合，當我們知道自己屬於那一類組合，並了解缺乏某一種能量時，加以強化，便能改善身體狀況。

作者同時在書中就各種健康問題提供清晰說明，如麩質過敏（gluten sensitivity）；對碳水化合物的誤解；肉食與素食之間的分別；好壞脂肪的分別；不知名的綠色食物；營養補充濟，以及腸道細菌微生物等，逐一論述。同時，提供明確的、實用的指導，告訴讀者要吃什麼、如何運動、如何睡眠、如何管理壓力，甚至如何呼吸等。

作者亦提供革命性的三周計劃，當中包括餐單和食譜，美味滋補食物、有療癒效力的香料、排毒技巧等資訊，全面性幫助讀者改善身體狀態，乃至心靈健康。
