    The best part about intermittent fasting is that it doesn't require you to give up your favorite foods! You'll learn how to change WHEN to eat, so you don't have to change WHAT you eat. Are you ready to take control of your health, and finally step off of the diet roller coaster? All you have to do is learn how to "delay, don't deny!"

    But a key element in any successful nutritional health program is a tried-and-true method that most people haven't thought about—yet it could be revolutionary for taking health to the next level. This ancient secret is fasting. Fasting is not about starving oneself. When done right, it's an incredibly effective therapeutic approach that produces amazing results regardless of diet plan. In fact, Toronto-based nephrologist Dr. Jason Fung has used a variety of fasting protocols with more than 1,000 patients, with fantastic success. In The Complete Guide to Fasting he has teamed up with international bestselling author and veteran health podcaster Jimmy Moore to explain what fasting is really about, why it's so important, and how to fast in a way that improves health. Together, they make fasting as a therapeutic approach both practical and easy to understand. The Complete Guide to Fasting explains: why fasting is actually good for health who can benefit from fasting (and who won't) the history of fasting the various ways to fast: intermittent, alternate-day, and extended fasting what to expect when starting to fast how to track progress while fasting the weight loss effects of fasting how to ward off potential negative effects from fasting The book also provides tools to help readers get started and get through their fasts, including a 7-Day Kick-Start Fasting Plan and healing liquid recipes.

    The cure for America’s most lethal killer doesn’t require expensive medications or rounds of invasive surgery. In fact 99 percent of heart disease–related deaths are entirely preventable with diet and nutrition. The cure for reversing heart disease is as simple as changing the food we eat.One of our country’s leading experts in both preventive medicine and the science of food, Dr. Fuhrman speaks directly to readers everywhere who want to take control of their health and avoid taking medication or undergoing complicated, expensive, unnecessary, and often ineffective procedures or surgery. He asserts that the public is rarely informed by their doctors of the most effective options for treating high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease. Nor are we provided an accurate evaluation of the true health risks from commonly prescribed drugs. Given this lack of vital information, how can we possibly make an intelligent and informed choice regarding a pill, procedure, or change in diet? Grounded in the latest scientific research and Dr. Fuhrman’s twenty-five years of clinical experience treating heart disease, The End of Heart Disease shows us how we can significantly lower cholesterol and blood pressure, reduce weight, heal obstructive coronary artery disease, and even eradicate advanced heart disease —all without the need for dangerous procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery. Dr. Fuhrman shows us how to eat for optimal heart health, with a range of options for differing needs and conditions. He provides detailed menu plans and delicious recipes for heart-healthy meals and snacks and includes helpful questions for doctors and patients.

    The root cause of most weight gain, brain and mood problems, and fatigue, autoimmunity can take years—or even decades—for symptoms and a clear diagnosis to arise. Through years of research, Dr. Tom O’Bryan has discovered that autoimmunity is actually a spectrum, and many people experiencing general malaise are already on it. And while autoimmune diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, osteoporosis, diabetes, and lupus, have become the third leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer, many people affected are left in the dark.The good news is that many autoimmune conditions can be reversed through a targeted protocol designed to heal the autoimmune system, 70 percent of which is located in the gut. The Autoimmune Fix includes two comprehensive 3-week plans: In the first 3 weeks, you’ll follow a Paleo-inspired diet during which you cut out gluten, sweets, and dairy—the three primary culprits behind autoimmunity. Once the dietary changes have been addressed, The Autoimmune Fix focuses on the other causes of autoimmunity such as genetics, other dietary issues, and microbiome. The Autoimmune Fix provides a practical and much-needed guide to navigating these increasingly common conditions to help you feel better and develop a plan that works for you.

    It involves alternating cycles of fasting and eating, instead of eating all hours during the day. It isn’t a diet, but rather an eating pattern. It does not include any rules about what foods to eat, but rather when you should eat them. As noted by Time magazine, intermittent fasting is becoming so popular because of one reason – it works. It works whether you are trying to lose weight, or just improve your biomarkers to achieve optimal health. In a nutshell, it is the way we are designed to eat. It allows us to use fat as our primary fuel instead of carbohydrates by adopting the way our ancestors used to eat. Unlike so many diets out there, this is not the latest ‘fad diet’ portrayed in popular media. Dieting is a multi-billion dollar global industry, and there is not a shred of evidence people are becoming slimmer as a result. In fact, the opposite is true. The percentage of obesity keeps increasing and has now reached epidemic proportions all over the world. Intermittent fasting, however, has proven to be a safe and effective approach that promotes not just fat loss, but actually improves overall health in ways no other lifestyle modification could do. What differentiates intermittent fasting from any other diet is the extreme abundance of high-quality, peer-reviewed research to back up all of its claims and results. It also serves as the way humans were physiologically designed to eat, period. I truly believe this is the most powerful intervention out there if you’re struggling with your health, weight, or any chronic disease. In addition, the other benefits it has to offer are nothing short of spectacular. The list of health benefits includes, but are not limited to: 1. Massive fat burning and weight loss 2. Increased human growth hormone production 3. Enhanced brain function 4. Insulin sensitivity 5. Improvement of beneficial gut bacteria 6. Reduction in cancer 7. Leptin sensitivity 8. Ghrelin hormone normalization (hunger hormone) 9. Elimination of sugar cravings 10. Reduced oxidative stress 11. Increased lifespan and longevity In this book we will go over the many benefits intermittent fasting can bring to you. It is also going to cover the specific ways you can implement this fasting regimen in your life, as well as going over common questions and concerns you might have. The scientific health benefits we go over are very important. A lot of these benefits will seem exaggerated, but this is simply a review of the scientific literature and is not mere opinion on my part.

    Stop eating and training like one.Because most nutrition products and training plans are designed for men, it’s no wonder that so many female athletes struggle to reach their full potential.

    To get the USDA-recommended daily quota of vitamin D, for example, you need to eat 15 eggs or 26 sardines; of iron, 414 almonds or 15 cups of broccoli. So we rely on nutritional supplements—vitamins and minerals, probiotics and enzymes—but the variety of pills, products, and elixirs on the market today is overwhelming. And, as we have seen in recent news, some of these products are downright fakes. Trusted natural health physician and bestselling author Tieraona Low Dog, M.D. provides a personalized approach to using nutritional supplements for your specific health needs, helping you navigate the complex and often confusing landscape of vitamins, minerals, and more.   Dr. Low Dog explains the basics about every essential nutritional supplement and guides the reader in creating a personalized supplement plan, tailored to individual genetics, age, gender, and lifestyle.

    They are often the root causes of a host of avoidable health problems—from indigestion, ulcers, and constipation to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. On the other hand, complex carbohydrates like whole grains, legumes, tubers, and other starches provide your body with essential proteins and nutrients that satisfy the appetite while simultaneously fighting illness.

McDougall takes on the propaganda machines pushing dangerous, high-fat fad diets and cuts through the smoke and mirrors of the diet industry.

    In this Spud Fit Challenge DIY guide, featuring twelve super simple (and cheap!) recipes and a variety of mindfulness techniques to help you reset your body and mind, he shows you the how's, what's and why's of his unusual regime - the tale of which went viral and captivated people across the globe. It's a scenario that will be depressingly familiar to all 'experienced dieters': towards the end of 2015, the former elite junior kayaker found himself more than 120 pounds (55kgs) overweight and feeling helpless, frustrated and in despair after yet another failed attempt at losing weight. With a lifetime of fad diets that only ever aimed to treat symptoms behind him, and armed only with the advice of 'the experts' whose discussion always began and ended with the message 'simply' to practise moderation, he had reached an impasse. Why couldn't he do moderation, like 'normal' people seemed to be able to? Sitting on the couch that day having reached his lowest point and not knowing the way out of the black hole that was swallowing his ability to enjoy life, he had that lightbulb moment: he was addicted to food. His mind raced - no other addict would ever be told to practise moderation, they would be told to quit their vice entirely. In that moment he realised that quitting food - or coming as close to it as possible - was the answer. Weeks of research told him that the humble potato, the food that has allowed vast populations to not only survive but to thrive over generations, was the perfect vehicle for his experiment: The Spud Fit Challenge was born! Good health is way more simple than we've been led to believe. There is a food that you can eat in abundance and that food provides you with all the nutrition your body needs to thrive for a long time. A good diet should not involve obsessing over every detail about what you put in your mouth - this does nothing to treat the underlying cause of your troubled relationship with food. This is the Spud Fit Challenge in a nutshell: let simplicity set you free. This guide will provide you with both the mental techniques that have helped Andrew to power through cravings without looking back as well as some ‘Spud Fit approved’ recipes to pique your interest - everything you need to successfully complete your own Spud Fit Challenge.

    The accumulation of excess iron in the body, a condition that affects perhaps the majority of adults, leads to much higher risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and shorter lifespan. Dumping Iron shows how to measure your iron levels, what the test numbers mean, and how to go about lowering iron if necessary. Humans are adapted to a low-iron environment, so once iron is in our bodies, it virtually never goes away. Our new, high-iron environment leads to iron accumulation, and to ill health and early death. Iron is the secret killer that no one is telling you about. Finally, in Dumping Iron, the scientific and medical data that indicts iron is assembled in one place. What the experts say about Dumping Iron: “Dumping Iron by P. D. Mangan is a must read by anybody interested in maintaining optimal health, including those in the medical field. Iron overload is an exceedingly common malady in the population and it is easily diagnosed, but it is under-addressed. It leads to heart disease, diabetes, cancer and numerous other chronic and debilitating illnesses. The good news is that iron excess can be prevented and readily treated, which results in a decreased risk of many diseases and improvement in overall health and vitality. Dumping Iron clearly tells us how to achieve these goals.” — Luca Mascitelli, M.D., Lieutenant Colonel, Italian Army, and author of numerous scientific papers on iron and health. “In Dumping Iron, Dennis Mangan has provided the reader access to a massive scientific data pool linking body iron overload to major diseases of mankind… I submit that Dumping Iron should be required reading in science and nutrition for high school and above. The ultimate triumph of Dumping Iron might be an informed public that will increasingly access ferritin test screening, and health care providers better prepared to interpret tests of iron status, particularly the ferritin level. Acknowledgment of risks of iron overload and proper product labeling might lead to reduced public iron intoxication and improved population health to a degree that would be no less than monumental!” — Leo Zacharski, M.D., Professor of Medicine, Geisel School of Medicine, Dartmouth College. Dr. Zacharski has written extensively on the connection between iron and disease, and has conducted clinical trials of lowering iron. “Iron has been compared to fire. A small amount of fire is quite useful in our stoves and furnaces. But when fire is ravaging the contents and walls of our home… BEWARE. In this informative book, Dennis Mangan makes clear the devastation that can be caused by excessive/misplaced iron in the tissues and walls of our bodies. We learn that for essentially all diseases — infections, cancers, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, diabetes, gout, osteoporosis, cardiovascular ills, and more — that the iron burden is a dangerous risk factor. But equally important, the author describes a variety of well tested methods that are readily available to neutralize the iron peril. Adoption of even a few of these methods can remarkably decrease iron-catalyzed disease episodes, enhance well being, and, not least, increase longevity.” — E. D. Weinberg, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Biology at Indiana University, and the author of over 140 scientific papers, many of them on the role of iron in disease.

    Deceptive. Demure. More than meets the eye at face value, and stuck in a holding pattern, the town siren engages in reckless behavior she attributes to maternal abandonment until she eggs-humes her mother’s quiche recipe.

    And yet, incredibly, more than half of the dogs in America today are overweight. We love our dogs as never before in history, but we're still allowing millions of them to die every year from this completely preventable disease.How in the world could that be? Who is to blame? And what can be done to stop the epidemic?Those questions and more are examined in Dogs, Dog Food, and Dogma, Daniel Schulof’s rigorous and in-depth investigation of America’s canine obesity epidemic. With clarity and care, Schulof dissects the published scientific literature on canine obesity and explains why so much of what the veterinary community thinks it knows about the topic has in fact been manipulated by the pet food industry and cast into doubt through fascinating new scientific research.Schulof documents his investigation in an engrossing memoir-style narrative, one featuring all the joy and heartbreak that ordinarily accompanies pet ownership in America today. With his Rottweiler Kody in tow, he takes readers along to some fascinating places—the wilds of Montana where biologists study grey wolves, the factories where corn and animal byproducts are transformed into pet foods, the world championships of canine athletics competitions, and the classrooms where rising veterinarians are taught nutrition using textbooks written by dog food manufacturers—in a quest to uncover the truth about this deadly and perplexing epidemic.A must-read for any smart, scientifically minded pet-owner, Dogs, Dog Food, and Dogma is a first-of-its-kind exposé of one of the most pressing, scandalous, and underappreciated animal welfare crises of our time. It is a book certain to permanently alter the culture of dog ownership in America.

    We’ve been told that our body doesn’t know how to maintain a healthy weight without calorie counting or exercise. We’ve been told that losing weight is as simple as eating less and burning more. We’ve been told that we have to restrict certain foods or we will become addicted and eat until we are sick and overweight. We’ve even been told that we overeat either because we are emotional eaters or because we need to fill a “void” in our lives. Our mindset has become so brainwashed by believing all this diet nonsense that we do not even know how to listen to our own body and how to eat normally. Diet-induced eating disorders have become more prevalent in today’s society as we see the rise of unrealistic body standards and continuous cycle of yo-yo dieting that keeps us in prison in our own body not knowing that there is a better, much easier and natural solution to health and normal hunger cues that keeps you weight in a healthy place without an effort.

    for his seminal and propaedeutic achievements in disputing the dogma that fat and cholesterol cause coronary heart disease, and that statins are safe and cardioprotective for everyone. As will be seen, no studies support the notion that restricting fat reduces coronary morbidity or mortality. More importantly, government recommendations mandating low fat diets are likely the cause of the escalating epidemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Several chapters detail the panoply of significant adverse health effects of statins that have been ignored or suppressed in reports of drug company sponsored trials. These include promoting the development of coronary atherosclerosis and congestive failure. In addition, the putative benefits of statins are clearly unrelated to lowering LDL or cholesterol, but rather anti-inflammatory and especially anticoagulant activities. This clotting or "atherothrombotic" hypothesis appears to explain all of the factors known to cause or protect against coronary heart disease. Other chapters by THINCS members discuss the role of infections and sulfur deficiency, and the numerous ways data are doctored to hype the benefits and minimize the dangers of statins. All of these contributions expose the fallacies of the lipid hypothesis, which was called "the greatest scientific deception of this century, perhaps of any century" by the distinguished nutritionist George Mann, former Co-Director of the Framingham Study.

    The workouts are in "circuit" training fashion, making for relatively quick workouts that still produce real results. No, these can't be done in 5 minutes, but they won't take forever, and they will help you sculpt a better body. They take advantage of Scott's Metabolic Enhancement Training methodology, so they use resistance, but take advantage of aerobic and anaerobic energy systems, and help you build conditioning and optimize metabolism.These workouts won't leave you exhausted; instead, they are designed specifically to help you feel invigorated and energized to help you deal with daily life and its stresses, and your responsibilities. Fitness should help you deal with daily life, not leave you too tired to do so! It's more than "stress free" training; it's about training that actively helps you with deal with whatever life throws at you.This program is perfect for the busy adult woman. The circuit training program has been tweaked and adapted, but was originally for busy woman and busy moms, including those who've just had kids, those who are looking to lose pregnancy weight, or those with a full household with children of all ages. This program is great if you're new to fitness, or if you've been involved in fitness in the past, but have found your life, your body, your responsibilities, and time constraints are quite simply very different now.The included diet strategy is also designed to help you lose weight with healthy whole foods, but to do so in a way that's stress-free. The end goal is simplify things, so that you're be able think less about food, not more. Getting Real The Busy Woman's Train-At-Home Workout Program and Diet Strategy is part of Scott Abel's new "Getting Real" series. This means that it pulls no punches; if something is ineffective, it's out. That's why it's train at home, but it insists on using weight training and dumbbells, with some bodyweight exercises. It's not bodyweight-only, or a pure cardio program, or anything like that.Even though this can be done just with a bench and dumbbells, there is also an emphasis on setting up a home training environment that is actually conducive to training and building a training habit. (If other people are using the room where we train, that just won't be as effective. If pets are trying to play with us while we train, that just won't be effective. If we want results, we need to get real.) Similarly, Scott has specific recommendations for what kind of dumbbells to get (he prefers "selectorized" dumbbells), and what to look for in a bench (it should be adjustable). Two tiny 1-lb dumbbells won't do it, not for a real program like this one. What's Included: • A customizable meal plan, with simple, solid guidelines for losing weight long term, and what to expect long term. There are no complicated formulas or anything like that. Just principles that work. • The complete training program with exercises. You actually get 16 different individual workouts.• The exercises are chosen to be effective, but not so complex that you need to be varsity athlete to do them.

    Lana Asprey, MD: The Stretch Marks Factor shares the science that let Dr. Lana completely avoid stretch marks through two pregnancies (in her early forties)... and helped Dave minimize his own stretch marks after dropping over 100 pounds. Dave first encountered stretch marks as an overweight 16-year-old. After he developed the Bulletproof Diet, he vowed to take the biohacking insights he gained about how to care for your skin and make them accessible to people who gain weight and all women who are pregnant or might consider pregnancy one day. What’s the secret? There’s no miracle cure. Just a simple, evidence-based protocol designed to stop new stretch marks before they start, and minimize any you already have. All by improving your skin’s own natural resilience. Following the Aspreys’ advice can have some great ‘side effects’ as well: Brighter skin, healthier nails, and even faster healing. Read this outside-the-box, full-body approach to revitalizing your skin to discover… • The connection between stretch marks, hormones and stress • Why only 50% of pregnant women ever get stretch marks • The one key type of skin cells behind stretch marks (and wrinkles) – and how to keep them healthy • Seven nutrients that make healthy skin (plus ‘kryptonite’ foods to avoid) • Six cutting-edge techniques to eliminate stretch marks without plastic surgery • Beyond the multivitamin: Supplements essential for healthier, blemish-free skin… and much more. “Stretch marks are a burden or a fear for many people, but they don’t have to be. With proper nutrition and an informed lifestyle, you can keep stretch marks at bay and reap the benefits of healthy skin. Stretch marks have affected my life, and Lana and I hope this book will keep them from affecting yours.” –Dave and Lana Asprey

     Written by a Respiratory Educator and Founder of The Breathing Clinic, STRESS EFFECTS delves into the science of breathing and the effects of stress on the respiratory system and breathing patterns, explaining how stress can lead to hyperventilation, thoracic-dominant breathing, rapid breathing and mouth breathing and how these breathing patterns can reinforce stress, trigger adverse symptoms and worsen a range of medical conditions. The author explains how, contrary to popular belief, “deep breathing” can actually worsen stress and why it is important to learn the 4 key elements of the real breathing antidote to stress while listening to the guided relaxation that accompanies this book. As the author is also a certified GAPS™ Practitioner who has trained with Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride (author of “Gut and Psychology Syndrome”), STRESS EFFECTS goes beyond the respiratory system to explore how stress compromises digestive functions and can create imbalance in the gut microbiome leading to intestinal permeability (commonly known as “leaky gut”), which is linked to a range of chronic health conditions including allergies, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel disease and other autoimmune conditions, autism spectrum disorder, some cancers, sexually transmitted diseases and certain conditions affecting the urogenital tract. The author also explains how stress can take its toll on the adrenal glands, leading to abnormally low cortisol levels, adrenal fatigue and symptoms of “burn-out”, which can sometimes be mistaken for depression. The link between stress, addiction and addiction relapse is also explored, and the importance of diet and nutrition in overcoming addiction and promoting good gut health and adrenal function is outlined. Breathing difficulty associated with everyday activities such as speaking, exercise and sleeping can be an unnecessary source of stress for many people. STRESS EFFECTS includes additional chapters on these issues and provides specific recommendations to reduce breathing problems associated with these everyday activities with the added benefits of improving sleep quality, enhancing exercise and sports performance, and developing a healthy breathing foundation for life. STRESS EFFECTS will appeal to readers who appreciate detail and who are serious about the quality of their breathing and the relationship between stress and chronic disease. This book would be a valuable reference in every home, as well as the office of every allied health professional.
