• diet and nutrition, including sample menus
• food combining, and detoxifying the body

• fasting and excretion
• breathing exercises
• physical exercises for long life, total relaxation, and general health
• acupuncture and massage techniques
• Taoist birth control
• sex therapy
• bedroom arts and techniques to ensure complete satisfaction for both partners (considered essential for good health and long life)
• herbal aphrodisiacs and other sexual aids
• meditation -- turning essence into energy and energy into spirit

With many helpful charts and clear illustrations, The Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity makes the ancient "Way" easily accessible to those seeking the latest in New Age health care.

Dr Kelly Brogan, New York Times bestselling author and holistic psychiatrist, proposes an alternative to medicating mental, emotional and physical pain away.

'[Will] change how you approach your health and mental wellbeing.' Sarah Gottfried, author of The Hormone Cure.

For years, we've been telling ourselves that our difficult feelings - sadness, rage, shame, intensity, worry - are somehow 'not okay'. All too often, we've relied on the promise of pharmaceuticals to tamp them down. The fact is that these feelings are a vital part of our experience. They are real. And those of us who feel them most strongly are the canaries in the coal mine - sensitive to things that are seriously wrong in the world today.

In a book that's both provocative and promising, holistic psychiatrist Kelly Brogan MD shows us that we don't have to medicate our mental, emotional and physical pain away - that the best way out is through. Then she charts a new path to get real, get well and get free. The journey includes:

• Coming to a new appreciation of the meaning behind symptoms
• Exploring the 5 reversible physical drivers of so-called mental illness
• Starting a process of radical physical healing with inclusive details of Dr Brogan's history-making 30-day protocol
• Taking a deeper dive into the spiritual awakening and expansion that comes when you reclaim your real self from conventional medicine
