FOR DECADES, ATHLETES HAVE BEEN A TARGET for companies selling everything from banned substances to several worthless nutritional products with the hope they will make the di erence between winning and losing. At the expense of being misled, athletes have su ered irreparable damage from steroids and hormones as well as the side e ects experienced from stimulants and tainted dietary supplements. In addition, the tremendous stress of strenuous exercise and its contribution to oxidative stress, in ammation, fatigue, muscle damage and transient immune suppression sets the stage for viewing the athlete in a very di erent way.

In THE MISLED ATHLETE, renowned nutritionist Carl Germano, RD, CNS, CDN and his team present a new look at the athlete as a patient and provide a comprehensive plan for addressing the multiple nutritional needs of the athlete beyond excess protein, stimulants and steroids. Germano discusses the link between the stressor of exercise and the importance of proper recovery through diet manipulation, e ective training techniques, and the use of legitimate nutritional supplements.

THE MISLED ATHLETE gives insight into how the foods athletes eat, which training techniques they use, and how the consumption of certain safe nutritional supplements can successfully address the ravages of intense activity, assist the athlete to recuperate better and help prepare for the next battle.

Thanks to the latest research, we understand the link between the brain and the body's immune and digestive systems and how, when this delicate balance breaks down, neurological diseases result. Now, a leading neurologist and renowned nutritional scientist bring us a comprehensive plan for building brain health that includes:
-- The latest advances in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease, including the new dietary supplement, Huperzine A
-- How nutritional compounds like coenzyme Q10, creatine, and d-ribose block the effects of cellular aging and death in the brain
-- New research on the relationship between diet and environment in brain health and disease
-- Cutting-edge nutritional agents that address the cause rather than the symptoms of neurological diseases
-- All-new, updated nutritional and medical protocols for the most common neurological illnesses, from Parkinson's disease to depression

Whether you suffer from a neurological disorder, or have a family medical history that makes you prone to one, THE BRAIN WELLNESS PLAN is a total nutritional treatment plan that will help you foster a healthy brain-immune system, and improve the quality of life for you or someone you love.
