    And while the women who live with PCOS are more than familiar with its symptoms, most are unaware that following an insulin resistant diet can offer significant relief—especially those who have just received a PCOS diagnosis.For Tara Spencer, being diagnosed with PCOS was devastating. The thought of struggling with weight, appearance, and fertility issues (the most common PCOS symptoms) for the rest of her life scared her. Unwilling to rely on artificial hormones and medication, she took matters into her own hands and began looking for natural ways to manage her PCOS. Tara found that changing her diet and exercise was the key to overcoming insulin resistance and eliminating her PCOS symptoms naturally. Now a nutritionist specializing in PCOS, Tara’s written the PCOS Diet for the Newly Diagnosed so that other women who have just learned they have PCOS can find the same relief and peace of mind early on.With the PCOS Diet for the Newly Diagnosed, you will: Learn about PCOS and how to manage it through diet and exercise Gain tools for cultivating self-love and joy while learning to manage your PCOS symptoms Kickstart your metabolism with a 2-week exercise routine geared towards newly diagnosed women Create healthy recipes that offer tips to boost fertility, control inflammation, and manage calorie intake Prepare for your new lifestyle with helpful shopping lists and a 2-week PCOS meal plan Living with PCOS doesn’t have to mean living with its debilitating symptoms. While there is not yet a cure for PCOS, relief is possible with the guidance offered in the PCOS Diet for the Newly Diagnosed.

    10,000 Americans turn 65 each day, and their average life expectancy is another 20 years--and many will live longer. But will they just live or have a meaningful life? The truth is that many--if not most--people approaching the latter years do not have a plan, much less a strategy to thrive instead of just survive. Packed with information based on research as well as common-sense wisdom, here are some examples of what readers will discover: - How retiring at the wrong time increases the likelihood of dying 89%. - What can delay Alzheimer's onset an average of 9 years. - How everything that makes you happy comes in just 3 forms. - Which partner is most likely to initiate divorce after decades of marriage and why.

    But the fact is: Problems in the world are mounting. War, famine, and strife exist at alarming rates. Not to mention that the level of respect within our families and communities seems to be fraying. Simply put, our behavior is not up to par these days; it is spiraling downward. Why? We’re not connecting the dots. In the arenas of psychology, teaching, coaching, and parenting, we’re using behavioral strategies to boost inner levels of clarity and consciousness—to no avail. So, if focusing on behavior isn’t working, what will? The Path of No Resistance provides a brand-new look at how human beings really overcome adversity. Along the way, Garret Kramer reveals the astonishing truth about what creates our troubles in the first place. And what we already know, deep down, that allows us to prosper in spite of any circumstance or situation. Offering an array of examples, Kramer demonstrates that resilience and contentment are—in principle—innate to everyone. He insists that calculated self-help methods are not the answer, and explains why insight, not intellect, is what fuels our ability to excel and give back to others.

    In Brain-Powered Weight Loss, psychotherapist and weight management expert Eliza Kingsford shows that more than 90 percent of people who go on diet programs (even healthy ones) fail or eventually regain because they have a dysfunctional relationship with food. Changing this relationship by changing the way you think about and behave around food is what it takes to permanently achieve weight-loss success. Kingsford’s 11-step first-of-its-kind program enlists dozens of mind-altering and behavior-changing exercises and techniques that shows you how to:· Identify and reverse the conscious and unconscious thinking errors and food triggers that lead to the behaviors that drive our food decisions.· Let go of the mindset of going on or off a diet in favor of a conscious quest to pursue a lifestyle of healthy eating and everyday activity — one that can last forever. · Successfully use what Kingsford calls “dealing skills” to outsmart high-risk situations, tame stressful times, and prevent an eating “slip” from leading to a setback or all-out binge.· Find out if you have what emerging research shows is an addiction to certain high-fat and sugar-added, processed foods that can be as powerful as addiction to cigarettes and narcotics.· Design a personal healthy eating program built on Kingsford’s 10 Principles of Healthy Eating.

    We silently, secretly wither under the pressure of living as though suffering is a predicament we can avoid or annihilate by having enough faith or trying harder. When your prayers for healing haven't been answered, the fog of depression isn't lifting, your marriage is ending in divorce, or grief won't go away, it's easy to feel you've failed God or, worse, he's failed you. If God loves us, why does he allow us to hurt?Over a decade ago chronic illness plunged therapist and writer K.J. Ramsey straight into this paradox. Before her illness, faith made sense. But when pain came and never left, K.J. had to find a way across the widening canyon that seemed to separate God's goodness from her excruciating circumstances.She wanted to conquer suffering. Instead, she encountered the God who chose it. She wanted to make pain past-tense. Instead, God invited her into a bigger story.This Too Shall Last offers an antidote to our cultural idolatry of effort and ease. Through personal story and insights from neuroscience and theology, Ramsey invites us to let our tears become lenses of the wonder that before God ever rescues us, he stands in solidarity with us. We are all mid-story in circumstances we did not choose, wondering when our hard things will end and where grace will come if they don't. Together, we can encounter grace in the middle, where living with suffering that lingers can mean receiving God's presence that lasts.What if the church treated suffering like a story to tell rather than a secret to keep until it passes?

Human cells are living structures made of fat and protein, and they use oxygen to change nutrients from what one eats into energy. This is why it is so important to treat one's cells well by consuming the most nutritious foods possible. Nutrition is worth one's time and attention because good nutrition fills the body with energy.
