Following the success of the bestselling Clean Gut and Wheat Belly comes this essential guide to improving digestive health from an expert in functional medicine-who reveals why everything that ails us, from fatigue to weight gain to bloating and bad skin, can be traced back to the gut, and shares his cleansing plan to help us reclaim our health. Dr. Vincent Pedre understands gut problems firsthand. He suffered from IBS for years before becoming an expert in functional medicine and learning how to heal his body from the inside. Dr. Pedre used his own experience to develop The Gut C.A.R.E.

Now, for the first time, Dr. Pedre makes his revolutionary plan for health and wellness available to everyone. Happy Gut takes readers step-by-step through Gut C.A.R.E.-Cleanse, Activate, Restore, and Enhance-which eliminates food triggers, clears the gut of unfriendly pathogens, and replaces them with healthy probiotics and nutrients that repair and heal the gut.

Complete with recipes and meal plans including gluten-free, low-fat, and vegetarian options, a 28-day gut cleanse, yoga postures to help digestion, and testimonials from many of his patients, Happy Gut will help you feel better and eliminate gut issues for life.

Now available for the first time in the English language, and already an international bestseller, Power Up! Wake Up, Energise and Wave Goodbye to Fatigue is an outstanding book that should be read by anyone wishing to find natural ways of improving their health and vitality. Written by Dr Peter Aelbrecht , the European "TV Doctor", it tackles the problems of modern living common to us all - the lack of energy, the risk of professional burn-out, the constant search for physical and emotional well-being - and comes up with a number of ways in which we can confront our issues and enjoy again a happier, healthier lifestyle. Several years ago Dr Aelbrecht himself suffered from the symptoms he discusses in the book. He understood from personal experience the circumstances of ME ( Myalgic Encephalomyelitis ) and CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), and was therefore able to offer an expert diagnosis to patients who presented with such symptoms. He opened his own "Energy Clinic" which specialises in the treatment of fatigue, and along with his team of doctors, osteopaths, dieticians, psychologists, physical trainers and life coaches, he now administers his methods of well-being to a broad range of patients - from professional sportsmen and politicians to nurses and office staff. Power Up! is based on medical and scientific fact, and is written in a simple, easy to read style. It teaches us about the good and bad things we eat, but it goes beyond being just another diet book. Dr Aelbrecht looks at the outside forces on us, such as being born and raised in Western, industrialised society, and our personal situation - circumstances, upbringing and environment - which all contribute to an individual's emotional, intellectual and physical well-being. For anyone who wishes to improve their life by finding more energy, reading this book will be the first step to achieving their goal.

A 2009 Book of the Year, USA Book News "It can't happen to me." Many high school students and young adults, seduced by their sense of invincibility, are stunned when they are diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (STI). But the fact is that anyone can catch an STI: no age group, social class, economic class, culture, religion, gender, or ethnic group is immune. To drive home the risks and realities of unprotected sex, Dr. Jill Grimes shares real-life stories of young people-medical students, college freshmen, teenagers, young parents, talented entrepreneurs-who have gotten an STI. Dr. Grimes narrates the story of Liz, who got syphilis; Sofia, diagnosed with gonorrhea and chlamydia; and Zoe, with pubic lice. She describes how Justin got herpes, Sean got trichomoniasis, and Luke contracted hepatitis C. The accounts of these young men and women and their exam-room conversations with their doctors evoke both the physical symptoms and complicated emotional reactions that often go together with infection. Fact sheets throughout the book explain each sexually transmitted infection and answer frequently asked questions about symptoms, treatment, and prevention. Used in high schools for the past five years, this new edition of Seductive Delusions shows how technological advances have speeded doctor-patient communication, including test results and treatment recommendations. It explains simplified STI testing, explores the frighteningly high incidence of date sexual assault, examines dramatic changes in cervical cancer prevention and Pap tests, and clarifies why HPV vaccines are now routinely recommended for all children-boys and girls. Whether reading the book from cover to cover or jumping directly to a specific disease, readers will relate to the dramatic stories while learning medically reliable information. Making emotionally and physically safe decisions about sex is easier when you know how STIs are spread, how to avoid getting one, what their symptoms are, and how they are diagnosed and treated.
