In this delightfully charming and
heartfelt debut love story, two lonely and wildly different strangers
embark on a short-term friendship over one London summer—only to
discover they may be something more by the time the season ends.
No one would ever call Ava Monroe a people person, which isn’t
ideal for a barista in a busy London coffee shop. She’s sarcastic,
blunt, and cynical, and her relationships are strictly no strings
attached. With her best friend Josie soon leaving for a year, Ava knows
she’ll be all alone unless she shakes up her routine. But she can’t
risk bringing chance back into her carefully controlled life.
Then insufferably cheerful, country-hopping, undeniably gorgeous Finn
O’Callaghan rolls into her coffee shop with a horrifying proposal —a
strictly friends-only summer fling. Finn needs a local to help him
complete his London bucket list, and Ava needs to reassure Josie she
won’t be on her own. And it’s only for a few months.
To Ava’s surprise, their mismatched friendship of convenience becomes
oddly tolerable, and as they work their way through Finn’s list and
around the sun-drenched city, from rooftops and floating bars to nights
at the museum, their adventures—and Finn’s company—start to feel . . .
nice. Incredibly, terrifyingly, dangerously nice.
Still, rules are rules—Ava has good reasons for them—and as the days
get shorter, Finn’s departure gets closer. Because that’s the thing
about summer: it always ends. Right?
Combine the surprising truth about brain food with the cutting-edge science of brain metabolism to achieve extraordinary improvements to your emotional, cognitive, and physical health.
Are you struggling with attention problems, mood swings, food obsession, or depression? Whatever the issue, you have far more control over your thoughts, feelings, and behavior than you realize. Although medications may bring some relief, in Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind, Dr. Georgia Ede reveals that the most powerful way to change brain chemistry is with food, because that’s where brain chemicals come from in the first place.
In this provocative, illuminating guide, Dr. Ede explains why nearly everything we think we know about brain-healthy diets is wrong. We've been told the way to protect our brains is with superfoods, supplements, and plant-based diets rich in whole grains and legumes, but the science tells a different story: not only do these strategies often fail, but some can even work against us. The truth about brain food is that meat is not dangerous, vegan diets are not healthier, and antioxidants are not the answer.
Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind will empower you to:
- understand how unscientific research methods drive fickle nutrition headlines and illogical dietary guidelines
- weigh the risks and benefits of your favorite foods so you can make your own informed choices about what to eat
- evaluate yourself for signs of insulin resistance—the silent metabolic disease that robs your brain of the energy it needs to thrive
- improve your mental health with a choice of moderate-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets that you can personalize to your food preferences and health goals
Drawing on a wide range of scientific disciplines including biochemistry, neuroscience, and botany, Dr. Ede will ignite your curiosity about the fascinating world of food and its role in nourishing, protecting, and energizing your brain.
