Over 90 percent of the population suffers from inflammation or an autoimmune disorder. Until now, conventional medicine has said there is no cure. Minor irritations like rashes and runny noses are ignored, while chronic and debilitating diseases like Crohn's and rheumatoid arthritis are handled with a cocktail of toxic treatments that fail to address their root cause. But it doesn't have to be this way.
In The Autoimmune Solution, Dr. Amy Myers, a renowned leader in functional medicine, offers her medically proven approach to prevent a wide range of inflammatory-related symptoms and diseases, including allergies, obesity, asthma, cardiovascular disease, fibromyalgia, lupus, IBS, chronic headaches, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
Are you exhausted all the time, plagued by brain fog, and unable to
lose weight? Do you struggle with insomnia, panic attacks, and tremors?
But does your doctor insist that your labs are normal, and that you
just need to eat less and exercise more? As anyone who has been there
knows, nothing is more frustrating, stressful, and emotionally draining
than feeling unwell and being told you're fine by the very person who
is supposed to heal you.
The truth is, your symptoms could be caused by a thyroid disorder--the
hidden cause behind a wide array of health problems that can threaten
to ruin your life. Thyroid dysfunctions like Hashimoto's disease,
hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism affect at least 20 million
Americans and yet conventional medicine frequently misses the
diagnosis. The scariest part? Most doctors won't even order thyroid
tests unless you specifically ask.
Now, in The Thyroid Connection, Dr. Amy Myers teaches you how to take
your health into your own hands. Dr. Myers, originally misdiagnosed
herself, understands the struggles of thyroid dysfunction firsthand.
Fortunately, she also knows how achievable recovery and well-being are,
and just how to get you there. In The Thyroid Connection, you'll
discover:
- How to work with your doctor to get the correct
diagnosisWhat blood tests to ask for, as well as what they meanHow to
find the right type and dose of supplemental thyroid hormone for youThe
role of gut health, diet, toxins, infections, and stress in thyroid
dysfunctionA complete 28-day plan to jumpstart your health and reverse
your thyroid symptoms
- Complete with advice on diet and nutrition, supplements,
exercise, stress relief, and sleep, The Thyroid Connection is the
ultimate roadmap back to your happiest, healthiest self.
Disruptive digital technologies are poised to reshape world energy
markets. A new wave of industrial innovation, driven by the
convergence of automation, artificial intelligence, and big data
analytics, is remaking energy and transportation systems in ways
that could someday end the age of oil. What are the
consequences—not only for the environment and for daily life but
also for geopolitics and the international order? Amy Myers Jaffe
provides an expert look at the promises and challenges of the
future of energy, highlighting what the United States needs to do
to maintain its global influence in a post-oil era. She surveys new
advances coming to market in on-demand travel services, automation,
logistics, energy storage, artificial intelligence, and 3-D
printing and explores how this rapid pace of innovation is altering
international security dynamics in fundamental ways. As the United
States vacillates politically about its energy trajectory, China is
proactively striving to become the global frontrunner in a
full-scale global energy transformation. In order to maintain its
leadership role, Jaffe argues, the United States must embrace the
digital revolution and foster American achievement. Bringing
together analyses of technological innovation, energy policy, and
geopolitics, Energy’s Digital Future gives indispensable insight
into the path the United States will need to pursue to ensure its
lasting economic competitiveness and national security in a new
energy age.
Oil, Dollars, Debt, and Crises studies the causes of the current
oil and global financial crisis and shows how America s and the
world s growing dependence on oil has created a repeating pattern
of banking, currency, and energy-price crises. Unlike other books
on the current financial crisis, which have focused on U.S.
indebtedness and American trade and economic policy, Oil, Dollars,
Debt, and Crises shows the reader a more complex picture in which
transfers of wealth to and from the Middle East result in a perfect
storm of global asset and financial market bubbles, increased
unrest, terrorism and geopolitical conflicts, and eventually rising
costs for energy. Only by addressing long-term energy policy
challenges in the West, economic development challenges in the
Middle East, and the investment horizons of financial market
players can policy makers ameliorate the forces that have been
causing repeating global economic crises.
