The heartwarming and hilarious part-memoir, part-guide from
comedian and father-of-six Ashley Blaker, on parenting, adoption
and raising children with special needs. ‘We had such a variety
of experts visiting our home, we really needed a revolving door.
All these professionals would watch our son playing while shaking
their heads and making tutting sounds, like builders considering a
bad job you wanted them to fix. “Tut tut tut. No speech,
disordered social skills, sensory issues. This is going to cost
you!!”’ Ashley Blaker has six children, three of whom have an
SEN diagnosis. Between endless meetings, countless therapists,
public humiliations, failed playdates, surreal monologues and
occasional violence, it’s certainly not what anyone would call a
‘normal’ household – but would he want it any other way?
Normal Schmormal is part-memoir, part how-to guide, highlighting
the many challenges, as well as the hugely rewarding elements, of
parenting children with additional needs. Written with humour,
compassion and a lot of love, it’s a must-read for parents,
carers and teachers of children with SEN, either looking for a bit
of support or in need of a very big laugh.
'A beautiful, inspiring book that will change the way you think
about exercise. I only wish it had existed when I was younger.' -
Bryony Gordon If you are the girl, the woman who feels like she is
never enough, that she will never be as strong, as good, as
capable, I am here to tell you that you are enough. You can write a
different story. Stronger will change what you think you know about
strength and, most importantly, empower you to go on your own
journey to discover what strength looks like for you. Having gone
from hating P.E. to becoming a powerlifter who can lift over twice
her own bodyweight, Poorna Bell is perfectly placed to start a
crucial conversation about women's fitness - one that has nothing
to do with weight loss. In Stronger, she shows how all of us can
tap into our inner strength and find the confidence that physical
pursuits can amplify - the confidence that has been helping men to
succeed for centuries - and that women can find too. In this
updated edition with a new introduction, Poorna tells not only her
own story but those of a range of women, investigating
intersections of race, age and social background. Part memoir, part
manifesto, Stronger explodes old-fashioned notions about getting
strong and explores the relationship between mental and physical
strength. Whether you're into weightlifting, running, swimming,
yoga or don't consider yourself to be sporty at all, Poorna shows
how finding strength can work for you, regardless of age, ability
or background.
In this ground-breaking book, Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff looks back to
our ancestors for solutions to our failing modern-day parenting
theories. When Dr Michaeleen Doucleff became a mother, she examined
the studies behind modern parenting guidance and found that the
evidence was frustratingly limited, and the conclusions often
ineffective. She began to wonder if an opposite approach was needed
- one founded on traditional wisdom, like the knowledge and
experience passed down over hundreds, even thousands, of years
within ancient cultures. With her young daughter in tow, she
travelled across the world to observe and practice parenting
strategies alongside families in three of the world's most
venerable communities: Maya families in Mexico, Inuit families
above the Arctic Circle, and Hadza families in Tanzania. Dr
Doucleff soon learned that these cultures don't have the same
problems with children that Western parents do. Most strikingly,
parents build a relationship with young children that is vastly
different from the one many Western parents develop, built on
co-operation instead of control; trust instead of fear; and
personalised needs instead of standardised development milestones.
In Hunt, Gather, Parent, Doucleff introduces us to families where
parents help little ones learn to control their emotions and reduce
tantrums by the parents themselves controlling their own
frustrations; foster self-sufficiency by safely giving kids the
autonomy to manage risks and explore their limits; and motivate
children to help with chores without using bribes or threats.
Doucleff also talks to psychologists, neuroscientists,
anthropologists, and sociologists and explains how the tools and
tips can impact children's mental health and development. . Packed
with practical takeaways, Hunt, Gather, Parent helps us rethink the
ways we relate to our children, and reveals a universal parenting
paradigm adapted for modern families.

Discover why millions rely on the #1 New York Times best-selling
Medical Medium for health answers they can't find anywhere else.
The first of two essential books about our most complex organ-the
brain-dives deep into why people all over the world are suffering
with mental health and brain-related symptoms and conditions. In
this book, find answers to 100+ symptoms, diseases, and disorders.
With the advanced state of brain research today, it's easy to think
that we're arming ourselves with knowledge about how best to care
for our precious minds and brains. Are we? Or is the prevalence of
Alzheimer's, dementia, ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, OCD,
PTSD, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, addiction, strokes,
seizures, brain fog, fatigue, and more a sign that even with the
headlines about mindfulness, neuroscience, and hacking the brain,
we're still all too vulnerable? Burnout, deficiencies, panic
attacks, vagus nerve problems, mental health struggles,
neurological symptoms, and beyond-as you search for lasting relief,
it's easy to become lost and blame yourself, wondering what you did
wrong. Answer: you're not the problem. With Medical Medium Brain
Saver and its companion volume, Medical Medium Brain Saver
Protocols, Cleanses & Recipes, Anthony William sheds light on
our brain and nervous system. Brain Saver unveils the why behind
more than 100 brain- and nervous system-related symptoms, diseases,
and disorders; Protocols reveals the truth about how to heal in
even more detail. Originally conceived as one life-saving book,
Brain Saver had to be divided in two when it became too big to
print. Each book now stands alone, so you can start with the one
you need most-or read both for a full picture of your brain's
health. Medical Medium Brain Saver is designed to serve you as a
lifelong reference. In it, you'll discover: * What it means to have
a static brain, an alloy brain, a viral brain, an emotional brain,
inflamed cranial nerves, an addicted brain, an acid brain, and a
burnt out, deficient brain-and what you can do about it * The true
causes of over 100 brain- and nervous system-related symptoms,
disease, and disorders * In-depth insight into the unknown reasons
for the epidemic of mental, emotional, and neurological
suffering-from everyday struggles with focus, concentration, and
mood to life-altering diagnoses such as ALS, Parkinson's, and
long-haul COVID * How to protect your brain against Alzheimer's,
PTSD, strokes, seizures, and more-before it's too late Best of all,
Brain Saver offers a way forward with specialized healing
techniques. In addition to fresh perspective on how to nourish your
brain and reduce your exposure to everyday toxins and contaminants,
you'll find cleanse protocols, heavy metal detox guidelines, and
recipes for all-new Medical Medium Brain Shots Therapy-quick hits
of medicinals in liquid form, designed to bring instant relief when
the brain is under particular stress. And when you want even more
healing options, you can turn to Medical Medium Brain Saver
Protocols, Cleanses & Recipes to take the essential information
this book provides to a higher level. "We suffer for very real and
physical reasons," Anthony writes, "and we can address those
reasons at their core with the information here. When we know how
to navigate this world, we have the power to heal." If you've been
searching for direction about brain, neurological, or mental
health, you've finally found the answers. Whether you're just
starting out or your journey has taken you to multiple
neurologists, internists, and functional medicine doctors, your
time has come to discover the true cause of your suffering, move
forward, and heal.
'The world's most famous and outspoken gynaecologist' (The
Guardian) fights myths and fearmongering with real science,
inclusive facts, and shame-free advice on the topic that impacts
more than 1.8 billion people worldwide: menstruation. Women can
expect to have between 350 and 450 periods in a lifetime. So why is
real information so hard to find? Despite its significance, most
education about menstruation focuses either on increasing the
chances of pregnancy or preventing it. And while both are crucial,
women deserve to know more about their bodies than just what
happens in service to reproduction. Not knowing how your body works
makes it challenging to advocate for yourself. Consequently, many
people suffer in silence thinking their bodies are uniquely broken
or they turn to disreputable sources. Blood is a practical,
empowering guide to what's typical, what's concerning and when to
seek care - recounted with the no-nonsense expertise and frank,
fearless wit that have made Dr Jen today's most trusted voice in
women's health. Dr Jen answers all your period-related questions,
including: What exactly happens during menstruation? How heavy is
too heavy? How much should periods hurt? And provides essential
information about topics such as: * The impact of stress and health
on the menstrual cycle * Menstrual migraines, PMS and period
diarrhea (yes, it's totally normal) * Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
(PCOS) and fibroids * Endometriosis and the latest treatments * The
endometrium's (the uterine lining's) fascinating connection to the
immune system * Different cultural perceptions of menstruation and
how they affect girls and women * Menstruation and the trans and
non-binary experience * Legitimate menstrual products and the facts
behind toxic shock syndrome * The risks and benefits of
hysterectomies Blood is about much more than biology. It's an
all-in-one, revolutionary guide that will change the way we think
about, talk about - and don't talk about - our bodies and our
well-being.

Without knowing it, Americans eat genetically modified (GM) food
everyday. While the food and chemical industries claim that GMO
food is safe, a considerable amount of evidence shows otherwise.
"In Seeds of Deception, Jeffrey Smith, a former executive with the
leading independent laboratory testing for GM presence in foods,
documents these serious health dangers and explains how corporate
influence and government collusion have been used to cover them up.
The stories Smith presents read like a mystery novel. Scientists
are offered bribes or threatened; evidence is stolen; data withheld
or distorted. Government scientists who complain, are stripped of
responsibilities or fired. The FDA even withheld information from
congress after a GM food supplement killed nearly a hundred people
and permanently disabled thousands. While Smith was employed by the
laboratory he was not allowed to speak on the health dangers or the
cover-up. No longer bound by this agreement, Smith now reveals what
he knows in this groundbreaking expose. Today, food companies sell
GM foods that have not undergone safety studies. FDA scientists
opposed this, but White House and industry pressure prevailed and
the agency's final policy--co-authored by a former Monsanto
attorney--denied the risks. The scientists' concerns were made
public only after a lawsuit forced the agency to turn over internal
documents. Dan Glickman, former Secretary of Agriculture, describes
the government's pro-biotech mindset: "You felt like you were
almost an alien, disloyal, by trying to present an open-minded
view....So I pretty much spouted the rhetoric....It was written
into. my speeches." In "Seeds of Deception Smith offers
easy-to-understanddescriptions of genetic engineering and explains
why it can result in serious health problems. This well-documented,
pivotal work will show you how to protect yourself and your family.
Aging has long been considered a normal process. We think disease,
frailty, and gradual decline are inevitable parts of life. But

to longevity, he explores the biological hallmarks of aging, its

with simple dietary, lifestyle, and emerging longevity strategies.

system *How to exercise, sleep, and de-stress for healthy aging
*How to eat your way to a long life, featuring Dr Hyman's Pegan
Diet *Which supplements are right for you *Where the research on
aging is headed With dozens of tips as well as an age-defying diet
and lifestyle plan and Dr Hyman's Healthy Aging Shake recipe, Young
Forever is a revolutionary, practical guide to creating and
sustaining health - for life. "Anyone pursuing a long life of
health and happiness must read this book. Young Forever, by my

extending your health, and more importantly, increasing the quality
of your life. This book will teach you how to live better, for

strategist 'The science of aging says you can get even better as
you get older! Dr Mark Hyman's Young Forever delivers this message
as a clarion call to anyone who wants to combine quantity and
quality of life as they age. With clear and cutting-edge
explanations about the biology of aging and an easy-to-follow
program based on the principles of functional medicine, Dr Hyman
knocks it out of the park once again in this blockbuster book. It's
