In the tradition of Silent Spring and The Sixth Extinction, an
urgent, “disturbing, empowering, and essential” (Kirkus
Reviews, starred review) book about the ways in which chemicals in
the modern environment are changing—and endangering—human
sexuality and fertility on the grandest scale, from renowned
epidemiologist Shanna Swan. In 2017, author Shanna Swan and her
team of researchers completed a major study. They found that over
the past four decades, sperm levels among men in Western countries
have dropped by more than 50 percent. They came to this conclusion
after examining 185 studies involving close to 45,000 healthy men.
The result sent shockwaves around the globe—but the story
didn’t end there. It turns out our sexual development is changing
in broader ways, for both men and women and even other species, and
that the modern world is on pace to become an infertile one. How
and why could this happen? What is hijacking our fertility and our
health? Count Down unpacks these questions, revealing what Swan and
other researchers have learned about how both lifestyle and
chemical exposures are affecting our fertility, sexual
development—potentially including the increase in gender
fluidity—and general health as a species. Engagingly explaining
the science and repercussions of these worldwide threats and
providing simple and practical guidelines for effectively avoiding
chemical goods (from water bottles to shaving cream) both as
individuals and societies, Count Down is “staggering in its
findings” (Erin Brockovich, The Guardian) and “will serve as an
awakening” (The New York Times Book Review).
Discover your unique pattern of emotional inflammation and learn
how to cool down in anxious times If the news has you feeling
anxious or outraged, you’re not alone. There is a name for this:
emotional inflammation. With Triggered, you’ll discover a
breakthrough plan for dealing with this modern affliction. General
and forensic psychiatrist Dr. Lise Van Susteren joins health
journalist Stacey Colino to present a program called RESTORE, which
will help you discover your “reactor type” for emotional
inflammation and show you how to become more grounded and resilient
in turbulent times. One of the main causes of emotional
inflammation is our sense that the big issues—like climate
change, gun violence, and political corruption—are beyond our
control. With RESTORE, you’ll learn you have more power than you
realize. With strategies for relieving stress, critical thinking,
recovering inner composure, and reclaiming the gifts of nature,
you’ll learn to transform your distress into steady calm and
strength. As you move from a state of emotional whiplash into
greater balance and harmony, you can redirect your energy, manage
your feelings, and cultivate healthier habits. Ultimately, you’ll
learn to become an “upstander”—a force for improving the
conditions that fuel your fears. With a relatable style and a
heaping dose of hope, Triggered is a timely antidote for a world in
turmoil.
According to fitness guru Phil Catudal, 70% of us are exercising
the wrong way. To fix that, he now offers readers the same program
he uses to great success with Hollywood celebrities--his "Fearless
Flexible Diet." To achieve lasting fitness and health, you need to
work with your natural-born body type and do the optimal
combination of aerobic, strength training, and flexibility
exercises and consume the right proportion of macronutrients for
your physique. While fitness trends and fad diets will come and go,
your body type (somatotype) is the one constant that's never going
to change. The message behind Just Your Type is simple but
powerful: if you want to be healthy, fit, slim, and strong, focus
on the physical and dietary moves that will enhance your
natural-born body type. Just Your Type reveals how to accurately
figure out your natural body type (ectomorph, mesomorph, endomorph,
or, most often, a hybrid of those types), and help anyone create an
individualized workout that's tailored to their body shape and
composition. Just Your Type is your roadmap to the best combination
of aerobic, strength training, and flexibility exercises and
consume the right proportion of nutrients for your physique.
Working harder isn't always the answer, but working smarter is.
