A female-centric keto diet and jumpstart plan Have you tried going keto and found that it has made you feel worse rather than better? Does keto seem to make sense in theory yet somehow fails to work as promised? But what if it's not just you? What if keto as we know it simply fails to encompass the needs of the female body? Naomi Whittel, the New York Times bestselling author of Glow15, explores how the problem isn't keto, it's fibre. Ninety per cent of women are fibre deficient, and when women go down the standard keto route, they often lean into animal-based, high-fat, zero-fibre foods, leading to low energy, brain fog, and unnecessary weight gain. Whittel explores the fruits, vegetables, and prebiotic fibre sources that work within a keto framework to: - transform your metabolism - enhance your microbiome - balance your hormones - keep you satiated Whittel's 22-day plan includes delicious, easy-to-make recipes that combine both the nutrients and flavour you need to make a sustainable change, plus a day-by-day movement framework you can tailor to your own needs. With its encouraging and supportive tone, and the foundational science and research to back it up, High Fibre Keto provides the means to get on track with keto and for keto to get on track with you. "For women seeking sustainable weight loss, balanced hormones, and increased energy, this is the book for you!" - Kellyann Petrucci, M.S., N.D., New York Times bestselling author of Dr. Kellyann's Bone Broth Diet

"A life-changing book." -- Oprah

In this moving and intimate book, Geneen Roth, bestselling author of Feeding the Hungry Heart and Breaking Free from Compulsive Eating, shows how dieting and emotional eating often become a substitute for intimacy. Drawing on her own painful personal experiences, as well as the candid stories of those she has helped in her seminars, Roth examines the crucial issues that surround emotional eating: need for control, dependency on melodrama, desire for what is forbidden, and the belief that one wrong move can mean catastrophe. She shows why many people overeat in an attempt to satisfy their emotional hunger, and why weight loss frequently just uncovers a new set of problems. But her welcome message is that change is possible. This book will help readers break destructive, self-perpetuating patterns and learn to satisfy all the hungers--physical and emotional--that make us human.

We are all living longer. The World Health Organisation predicts that by 2050 there will be two billion people over 60 with 434 million of those over 80 years of age. But there's a catch: the quality of those extra years of life is shockingly poor. Many of us will find ourselves living with diseases and dependent on non-curative drugs and health carers as a result. We are not ageing well nor wisely. Dr Norman Lazarus, 84, is an exception. He is an expert on the physiology of healthy human ageing and living proof that our later years can be lived well. Even now, in his eighties, he leads an active and medication-free lifestyle, regularly walking and cycling long distances. Dr Lazarus has now written a remarkable book, with the aim of helping others to stay well for longer. The Lazarus Strategy is a part how-to and part manifesto on the art of healthy ageing to guide readers along the path to a more active, productive, independent future and a medication-free life. Norman will show us that our lifestyle choices now will determine how we will age through our golden years and how fast - in the future. The three main factors crucial to keeping healthy are physical activity, food and the mind. Norman explains how each of these affect ageing and how we need to make changes to these areas of our life from the age of 50 and beyond.

In this practical yet scientific guide, leading researcher in cancer, heart disease, and diabetes prevention Kedar N. Prasad, Ph.D., reveals the latest revolutionary discoveries on the use of antioxidants and micronutrients to treat diabetes. He details how the proper combinations of vitamin and antioxidant supplements can greatly increase the effectiveness of standard medical treatments to halt and even reverse the progression of both type I and type II diabetes and prevent onset in those who are diagnosed as prediabetic. Prasad shows how chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and free radical damage are the chief culprits for the progression of diabetes and its complications and that merely changing your diet and activity level and regulating blood glucose levels cannot fully counteract this unhealthy internal state. He provides an easy-to-follow daily supplement regime for both diabetics and prediabetics in multiple age groups to target free radical damage and cell injury and stop the progression of diabetes complications. Reviewing much of the scientific research on diabetes treatment, he debunks the flawed conclusions of the medical community that vitamins and antioxidants are ineffective, revealing how the studies focused on specific micronutrients rather than synergistic combinations. Offering the missing complement to the standard care of diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes promoted by mainstream medicine, this guide provides a truly holistic approach to diabetes prevention, treatment, and care.
