Story Behind The Book

In 1997 Donald Gazzaniga was diagnosed with terminal dilated cardiomyopathy with complications. He immediately researched his disease and came up with a dietary program that he thought would help improve his condition. Doctors prepped him, however, for a heart transplant, but at the last moment (just like it might have been in a movie) the cavalry arrived. His heart began to improve. Gazzaniga then brought his work to the public through his first book, The No-Salt, Lowest-Sodium Cookbook, published by St. Martin's Press. Gazzaniga's own heart has returned to normal after sticking to his regimen of no more than 500 mg of sodium per day. Today we now have five heart-healthy books from Gazzaniga and Living Well Without Salt details his path from a terminal diagnosis to a fulfilling life.
