    We first met the host of Chopped, All-Star Academy and other shows when he invaded homes as one of the “fab five” on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy in 2003. But who is this dapper, openly-gay, man in mod suits and Chuck Taylor sneakers? And what’s really happening on those Food Network sets? During an expansive conversation in his “stupid”-nice Brooklyn home, Allen talks candidly about the “filthy” things happening behind the scenes, why The New York Times should be ashamed for how it treated chef Guy Fieri, and what it was like coming out to his conservative, Christian parents. Allen was interviewed by veteran journalist Tom Roston, who also conducted the bestelling Ken Burns Kindle Singles Interview. A frequent contributor to The New York Times, Roston has also examined the sweet and salty world of food for Food Republic, tripping on Hawaiian Kava, uncovering the truth about the smell of Subway bread, and going on a fast-food fish filet binge that he still hasn’t recovered from.

    Maybe you have formed a vague idea of what it represents in your mind, or even more, maybe you're even a "practitioner", and try to apply Buddha's teachings in your every day life. You see, in life we are ALL in the same game, and yet most poeple don't realize it. Most people don't even take the time to think HOW they can improve their existence. Most people don't even know what "living in the present" is. That's precisely why a large majority of the world's population so desperately need Buddhism. They aren't living, they are surviving, transiting lives filled with hate and pain. And so I did, back before I was introduced to Buddha's lessons. It took me time to learn those lessons. It took me a lot of time and effort to incorporate the secrets that would ultimately shape my entire life! And now, I'm willing to share those secrets with you. I wrote this book for a reason. I wrote this book to show you HOW you can improve your life by applying Buddha's lessons. I wrote it to show you how you can set apart from the average path and go the whole way instead. You see, I may not know you, but I certainly know something about you: both you and me are alike. Whether you are just starting to get in touch with Buddhism, or even if you have already done that and are actually USING it to your advantage, I know you don't settle for average. I know you want something better. You won't stop until you fully enjoy your life. Until you fully grasp the path of simplicity, calmness, and inner peace. You won't stop until you truly achieve all you can achieve. And guess what? That's precisely what we will go for on this book! Hey, I'm not saying you should shave your head and climb up to a mountain to become a monk. You don't have to do that, trust me. My approach to Buddhism is different. I'm a modern guy. I'm aware of the world we live in, and I don't want to turn things upside down, and I guess neither do you. So, don't worry! I've got you covered. We'll go through Buddha's teachings and we will APPLY them into our daily modern lives. Because that's what's all about, isn't it? It's about improving our lives. Improving our focus. Improving our happiness. Finding our way to inner peace. Wow, I'm so glad to be here to share this amazing journey with you! My goal is simple. I will help you incorporate Buddhism into your life. I will help you simplify your thoughts, adopting Zen as a way of being, and not just doing. Sounds too difficult? It's not. I will show you how. I will take you through a step by step guide where you simply can't get lost! Together, we will go to the roots of Buddhism, Mindfulness & Meditation and transform that knowledge into an incredibly journey that will forever change the way you approach life. So let's go for it!

    Unlike many men their age, they may also suffer from sleep problems, osteoporosis, and depression. Too many middle-aged women have lost interest in sex, and they seem to age less slowly and gracefully than their male counterparts.Dr. Tami Meraglia knows that the magic word here is testosterone. While there is ample discussion in the medical community about the effects of estrogen loss, few people are aware of the importance of sufficient testosterone levels in women. A healthy balance helps women slim down, improves their mood, lowers the risk of cardiac disease, increases energy and libido, prevents osteoporosis, enhances skin tone and texture, and may even prevent cognitive decline—yet more than 90 percent of women over age forty-five suffer from low testosterone levels. In The Hormone Secret, Dr. Tami offers a thirty-day plan to fix this imbalance, using evidence-based remedies including herbs, vitamins, nutrition, and sometimes topical creams and bioidentical testosterone replacement therapy (they key is low dosage to prevent unwanted side effects). She also offers her hormone-customized Mediterranean Diet–based meal plan and low-impact exercise ideas that will immediately boost your energy levels.With cutting-edge research and strong scientific evidence to support Dr. Tami’s thirty-day plan, The Hormone Secret gives you all the information you need to balance your hormones and improve your vitality for a strong and healthy life.
