The Founder of the proven Foundation Training program takes his
teaching to the next phase, showing us how to utilize our body's
built-in systems for healing and introducing a new program that
offers a perpetual inner core of wellness and adaptability. Dr.
Eric Goodman's innovative approach to self-healing-Foundation
Training-has helped athletes, first responders, celebrities, and
regular folks around the world. The heart of Foundation Training is
a unique form of biomechanics-a series of postures, poses, and
movements designed to teach the body's individual muscles to act
within strong, flexible chains, shifting the burden of support away
from sensitive joints. Foundations of Health builds on this core
program, going deep into its principles to help us understand how
to maintain a healthy body, even when the mechanics eventually
break down. Our bodies are built to heal themselves-without
surgeries and prescriptive medications. The protocols expand on the
original Foundation Training concepts, focusing on the endogenous
cannabinoid stimulators-part of an extraordinary built-in
endocannabinoid system that profoundly affects our central,
enteric, and peripheral nervous systems and helps to regulate
numerous responses in our body. Dr. Goodman explains the science
behind the endogenous cannabinoid system and how it can be
stimulated in natural and healthy ways, including heat, breath
work, and movement-techniques that will help guide and maintain the
state of balance the body needs to function optimally with
stability and harmony. He recommends foods, herbs, and supplements
likely to ease pain, lower stress, and boost mental and physical
function. He addresses the notable medicinal benefits of CBD, THC,
and the many terpenes associated with cannabis's reputation for
healing, and teaches how to be a smart consumer of cannabinoids.
Foundations of Health provides a unique understanding and approach
to healing that will forever change the way we think of our bodies
and our physical health.
A sense of fatigue dogs the fitness world. Many of the new programs
that are tagged as groundbreaking are actually recycled ideas.
Foundation offers something completely different for novices and
athletes alike: a simple program with powerful and proven results
that will remedy bad posture, alleviate back pain, and help readers
break through fitness challenges and plateaus. Dr. Eric Goodman, a
brilliant and dynamic young chiropractor, teams up with Peter Park,
one of the top trainers in the United States, to radically redefine
the core--shifting the focus from the front of the body to the
back. Their groundbreaking approach works to strengthen the lower
back and the full posterior chain and correct poor movement
patterns by addressing mechanical imbalances and weaknesses.
Foundation training involves simple movement patterns and is
equipment free, creating maximum power, flexibility, and endurance.
Word-of-mouth enthusiasm has inspired both Hollywood luminaries and
world-class athletes to make Foundation training the core of their
fitness programs. Eric and Peter's client list has grown
exponentially to include Lance Armstrong, NBA star Derek Fisher,
world-champion surfer Kelly Slater, and actor Matthew McConaughey.
Radical in its simplicity, Dr. Eric Goodman's visionary approach to
mindful movement corrects the complacent adaptations that lead to
back and joint pain, and teaches us to harness the body's natural
movement patterns into daily activities to make us fit, healthy,
and pain free. Our sedentary lifestyle has led to an epidemic of
chronic pain. By adapting to posture and movement that have us out
of balance-including sitting all day at a keyboard, tilting our
heads forward to look at our phones-we consistently compromise our
joints, give our organs less room to function, and weaken our
muscles. How we hold and live in our bodies is fundamental to our
overall health, and the good news is that we all hold the key to a
healthier body. Dr. Goodman has spent years studying human
physiology and movement. He has trained world-class athletes for
better performance, and has healed people of all ages and
occupations of lifelong debilitating pain. His theory of
self-healing is now available to everyone. His practical program
trains the posterior muscle chain-shoulders, back, butt, and
legs-shifting the burden of support away from joints and putting it
back where it belongs: into large muscle groups. Filled with
helpful diagrams and sixty color photographs, True to Form shows
readers how to successfully integrate these powerful movements into
everyday life-from playing with the kids to washing dishes to long
hours in the office-transforming ordinary physical actions into
active and mindful movements that help to eliminate pain, up your
game, or simply feel more energetic. True to Form shows you how to
move better, breathe better, and get back to using your body the
way nature intended.
A revolutionary work that guides new parents in helping their baby
form healthy movements, strong muscles, and a fit body during the
child's critical first year of life, filled with vital information
and over 400 full-color photographs that clearly show how to create
a strong foundation for a baby's musculoskeletal health and future
wellness A child's first steps are one of the great miracles in
life-one we think of as a natural, essential, intuitive process.
But just as new parents foster positive digestive, emotional, and
intellectual growth, we cannot leave it to nature and instinct
alone to ensure that infants develop the strong musculoskeletal
foundation they need. Little bodies are malleable: nerves are
elongating, bones are hardening, muscles are strengthening-newborns
are a never-ending process of physical change. The problem is that
the car seat, the bouncer, the carrier, the crib, the
pack-n-play-the very devices modern parents depend on for
hands-free parenting-leave that precious developing bundle at the
mercy of gravity and passive, bodyweight-based alignment. Shaping
Your Baby's Foundation gives new parents the information they need
to safely and effectively build their baby's muscle tone,
strengthen the child's growing body, and set their newborn on the
path for a lifetime of wellness. Shaping Your Baby's Foundation
isn't about hitting milestones (for example, walking early can mean
a child missed some key areas of strengthening at earlier stages),
it's about growing well. Jen Goodman gives parents the tools they
need to give their baby a body that will be strong and balanced by
the time the child is vertical. By helping a baby meet gravity's
challenges during the first year of life, this book vastly
increases the chances of that baby later remaining strong, fit, and
healthy as a toddler, teen, and adult. Written in Goodman's gentle
and accessible, yet authoritative, voice, and aided by over 400
full-color photographs to guide parents step-by-step through the
first year of their baby's life, Shaping Your Baby's Foundation is
a revolutionary parenting bible for a new generation.
Life takes a strange turn when Richard Allan Gordon, thirty years
old and as white as they come, discovers that, as a result of
identity theft, five-year-old Jada Reece Gordon bears his name. The
product of a middle-class Jewish upbringing, Richie finds
himself completely in love and lust with Jada’s mother, LaTisha,
a twenty-five-year-old African American nursing student, and longs
to be a father to her child. Richie and LaTisha’s story
takes place at the intersection of love, race, and identity, as the
couple is forced to examine their relationship in light of a
terrible event that takes the life of a young black father and
catapults their midwestern city into chaos. As riots erupt around
them and Richie discovers a secret about his own past that
challenges his long-held ideas, he and LaTisha must come to grips
with the forces that threaten to tear their relationship apart. A
novel that doesn’t shy away from the racism that dwells within
the unexamined hearts of so many Americans, Twelfth and Race may
shock or outrage some readers, yet its story is ultimately timely,
honest, and hopeful.
