A #1 New York Times bestseller--the devastating truth about the
effects of wheat, sugar, and carbs on the brain, with a 4-week plan
to achieve optimum health.
Renowned neurologist David Perlmutter, MD, blows the lid off a
topic that's been buried in medical literature for far too long:
carbs are destroying your brain. And not just unhealthy carbs, but
even healthy ones like whole grains can cause dementia, ADHD,
anxiety, chronic headaches, depression, and much more. Dr.
Perlmutter explains what happens when the brain encounters common
ingredients in your daily bread and fruit bowls, why your brain
thrives on fat and cholesterol, and how you can spur the growth of
new brain cells at any age. He offers an in-depth look at how we
can take control of our "smart genes" through specific dietary
choices and lifestyle habits, demonstrating how to remedy our most
feared maladies "without drugs." With a revolutionary 4-week plan,
GRAIN BRAIN teaches us how we can reprogram our genetic destiny for
the better. GRAIN BRAIN is a #1 New York Times bestseller and a
finalist for a 2013 Books for a Better Life award.
How can you lose dramatic weight, reverse chronic conditions, and
stay healthier longer? Flip the switch on your metabolism with
intermittent fasting, protein restriction, and ketosis! Lose
weight. Reverse Chronic Conditions. Live Healthier Longer. Within
each of us is an ancient mechanism that eliminates toxic materials,
initiates fat burning, and protects cells against stress. It's
called autophagy, and when it's turned on, the complex operation
can not only slow down the ageing process, but can optimise
biological function as a whole, helping to stave off all manner of
disease - from diabetes to dementia - and affording us the healthy
lifespan we never thought possible. So how can we activate this
switch through diet? How frequently should we fast and for how
long? Must we abstain from all foods or just specific
macronutrients? What's the sweet spot between intermittent fasting,
protein restriction, and ketogenic eating? Backed by a wealth of
data, and with a practical programme anyone can follow for lasting
results, The Switch not only decodes the science of autophagy, but
also teaches you how to control it and benefit from its profound
impact.

Thanks to technology, today's world is more comfortable than ever,
but our survival instinct that evolved to protect us from danger is
on high alert. Though mild discomforts such as work demands,
traffic jams, family conflict, or having to perform under pressure
are not life threatening, they can still trigger the brain's fight
or flight fear reaction. And this response can lead to a reliance
on drugs, alcohol, overeating, insomnia, phobias, chronic pain,
illness, or just losing our temper for no apparent reason. In this
eye-opening book," "psychologist Dr. Marc Schoen offers practical
strategies to tame your overly reactive survival instinct and
conquer fear, build resilience, boost decision-making, and improve
every aspect of your life.

What if everything you knew about the biology of body weight is
wrong? According to compelling, leading-edge science, being
overweight isn't just the result of too many cheeseburgers and not
enough cardio. Another silent factor is contributing mightily to
our obesity epidemic: "obesogens." These toxins--which are
everywhere, from our food containers to furniture--sabotage our
efforts to lose weight by disrupting our endocrine system, altering
how we metabolize fat and permanently changing our fat cells,
despite our efforts to count calories, exercise, and lose weight.
Even scarier: lab tests have proven that these chemicals can
irreversibly re-program the expression of our genes, which means
that obesity can become an inherited trait. The chemicals we're
exposed to will not just meaningfully affect our health, but our
children's health, and future generations as well. Sound like
science fiction? Dr. Blumberg was the first to coin the term
"obesogens" in 2006 when the irrefutable data was staring him in
the face. His research spawned a whole new area of study that has
triggered a fascination among top scientists worldwide to
understand obesogens-how they work, where they are hidden, and what
it means for our health and that of future generations. In THE
OBESOGEN EFFECT, Dr. Blumberg is ready to reveal his landmark
research to show how hidden chemicals might be the root cause of
our 21st century obesity epidemic. With a rich blend of
storytelling, anecdotes, a synthesis of his research, and a
three-step action plan to prevent and minimize the effects of
obesogens, THE OBESOGEN EFFECT will transform your life and the
lives of future generations.
Allergies are an epidemic--but they don't have to be. Every day,
more than five hundred people in the US go to the emergency room
following a bad allergic reaction to food; 1 in 10 people have food
allergies--and they are acute, alarming, and can be
life-threatening. These are just a few of the statistics that prove
what most of us know anecdotally: food allergies are on the rise.
But allergy itself is just the tip of the iceberg--and it's not
just a problem for kids: there is a whole spectrum of food-related
conditions, including sensitivities, intolerances, and challenges.
1 in 5 people have food intolerances or sensitivities, and while
these can be debilitating, they are chronic and can also be
life-threatening in the long-term. Additionally, there are several
autoimmune disorders that can masquerade as allergic disease. This
means a lot of confusion, potential misdiagnoses, and incorrect or
poor care. But there is good news: Dr. Ruchi Gupta is on the front
lines of this epidemic; in her first book, she shares revolutionary
research from her lab to address the entire spectrum of
food-related health conditions. This panoramic view of food
challenges empowers readers, arming them with the info to ask the
right questions and get a proper diagnosis. From debunking common
myths (an allergy and an intolerance aren't the same thing--and
both can have life-threatening effects) to understanding
masqueraders, to learning about triggers (including environmental
factors), Dr. Gupta tells you all you need to know. Using a
framework of identify, empower, manage, prevent, and treat, Food
Without Fear offers hope and help to the millions of people who are
affected. Food doesn't have to be an enemy.
