Hachette Books Narrative Healing Awaken the Power of Your Story
Book SynopsisLisa Weinert''s work is based on the premise that we hold our stories in our bodies. The extent that we learn how to release them affects how we perceive and approach our lives - but what if we don''t have the tools to understand our narrative outside of what''s been told to us? What if we don''t have access to our own story due to trauma? What if we are unable to share our truth with the world? In Narrative Healing, she empowers readers to identify, understand and tap into the healing power of their stories.Following her own personal healing journey, Lisa draws upon twenty years of experience to offer a new paradigm for personal growth, self-care and community action through an embodied writing practice. Combining somatic practices, creative prompts, and mindfulness exercises, Lisa guides you through the six steps of healing through storytelling: awaken, listen, express, inspire, connect, and grow.

Hay House How to Heal Hashimotos An Intergrative Road Map to Remission
Book SynopsisHere’s the simple truth about Hashimoto’s: It’s way more than a thyroid problem. And even though it’s an autoimmune disease, it’s also way more than an immune system problem. Over time, it progressively becomes a body-wide disorder.Most people are familiar with the common hypothyroid symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, sensitivity to cold, hair loss, and constipation. But what many people don’t seem to understand is that many Hashimoto’s patients also have anxiety and depression, acid reflux, blood sugar imbalances like hypoglycemia and insulin resistance, intestinal permeability, anemia, food intolerances, and much more.This is not coincidence. It is all caused by repeated patterns of one system of the body breaking down and bringing other systems down with it. This causes vicious cycles that lead to the breakdown of the gut, the brain, the adrenals, the stomach, the gall bladder, the liver and everyTrade Review"The time is here to take back your health! Hashimoto’s is a condition that can be healed and reversed—but you will need to step out of the world of conventional medicine to do so. Marc Ryan, a practitioner of Eastern Medicine and a Hashimoto’s patient, shares his extensive experience from recovering his own health and helping thousands of patients do the same. Let How to Heal Hashimoto’s be your road map to remission and start taking your health back today."— Dr. Izabella Wentz, pharmacist and New York Times best-selling author of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and Hashimoto’s Protocol"In How to Heal Hashimoto’s, Marc takes the best parts of both Western and Eastern functional medicine to create a methodical approach that touches all aspects of the Hashimoto’s journey with grace, humor, and firm encouragement. In doing so, he has empowered patients to better understand their bodies so they can engage as active participants in their own healing."— Datis Kharrazian, D.H.Sc., D.C., M.S., author of Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms When My Lab Tests Are Normal? and Why Isn’t My Brain Working?"How to Heal Hashimoto’s is an important new book for the autoimmune thyroid disease community, as it is the first of its kind to loop in the ancient healing practices of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Not only does Marc Ryan do an incredible job explaining the complex inner workings of the thyroid, but he shares the often overlooked emotional and spiritual side of healing as well. If you suffer from Hashimoto’s, this is an incredibly actionable book that will help you get your life back!"— Mickey Trescott, NTP, author of The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook and The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook"A whole person-centered look at understanding and treating Hashimoto’s."— Dr. Mike Dow, New York Times best-selling author of Healing the Broken Brain?"How to Heal Hashimoto’s is the deepest book on the subject and a must read. If you are tired of being tired, read it twice!"— Julie Daniluk, author of The Hot Detox Plan, Slimming Meals That Heal, and Meals That Heal Inflammation"Marc Ryan’s blend of Western and Eastern functional medicine in his book How to Heal Hashimoto’s is an approach that should be taught in medical school. This would save millions of Hashimoto’s patients around the world from needless suffering."— Dana Trentini, M.A., Ed.M., founder of Hypothyroid Mom and author of Your Healthy Pregnancy with Thyroid Disease"Marc’s approach to autoimmune thyroid disease is truly exceptional and unique. He blends the principles of Chinese medicine and functional medicine to create a modern-day solution for healing Hashimoto’s. This is a must read for anyone living with thyroid disease."— Dr. Jolene Brighten, N.D., founder of Rubus Health and best-selling author of Healing Your Body Naturally After Childbirth"If your health is your wealth, this book is a treasure chest filled with practical and actionable steps. Hashimoto’s can take away the best years of your life, but not if Marc Ryan has anything to do with it. Marc offers the wisdom of both Eastern and Western medicine with a layer of common sense and real-world application. Applying the wealth of knowledge in this book will transform both your physical and emotional wellness, creating a lifetime of health and happiness."— Sachin Patel, D.C., founder of Living Proof Institute"There are a lot of books on hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, but How to Heal Hashimoto’s takes one of the most unique approaches to helping people with this condition get into remission. While many people with Hashimoto’s know that it’s essential to have a healthy gut in order to have a healthy immune system, most people with this condition don’t know why it can be important to address other areas, such as the spleen, kidneys, and even the lungs. Marc focuses more on Chinese medicine than any other book I’ve read on Hashimoto’s (and I’ve read a lot of them!). I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis."— Eric Osansky D.C., MS, IFMCP

Rowman & Littlefield Surviving After Cancer
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewDr Katz has done it again! Congratulations to a job well done. Dr Katz is a health care professional who REALLY cares about cancer, its impact on patients and their loved ones. Her book demonstrates an empathetic dedication to professionalism and provides a comprehensive guide for both the detail oriented health care professional and survivor. It is an excellent resource that succeeds to assist with the complexities of cancer care navigation. Her book is an asset for the oncological and survivorship community. -- Michael L. Krychman, M.D., CM, Executive Director of Southern CA Center for Sexual Health and Survivorship Medicine; AASECT certified Sexual CounselorIn this book, with beautiful and detailed stories, Anne Katz deals with the major topics of surviving cancer. She is a superb observer of the various emotions that happen in patients and partners confronted with cancer and confronted with the medical professionals. She clearly explains the how and why of the various side effects of this process and her stories lay down the path towards solutions. Anne Katz is one of the very few professionals able to combine in her writing a loving picture of human people with well balanced inside information on disease and treatment. -- Woet Gianotten, M.D., Psychotherapist and co-founder of ISSC (International Society for Sexuality and Cancer)Anne Katz has written a smart, engaging, user-friendly guide for cancer survivors and those who love them. What shines through this book is not the cancer, but human beings-real people, to whom Dr. Katz transmits generous doses of information, help, and hope. -- Gina Ogden, PhD, Author of The Heart & Soul of Sex, and The Return of DesireAs stated in the first chapter of this accessible primer by registered nurse Katz (Univ. of Manitoba, Winnipeg; Sex When You're Sick: Reclaiming Sexual Health After Illness or Injury), cancer changes everything....Katz presents nine personal stories relating the challenges of a cancer life: fear of recurrence, post-treatment depression, returning to the workplace, fatigue, sex and relationships, a healthy diet/lifestyle, doctor appointments and follow-up, childbearing, and cognitive difficulties. The narratives are interrupted by statements/factoids intended to clarify or further develop the basic concept. The penultimate chapter is a digest of the cancer odysseys, summing up the information into what the author calls "A Blueprint for Health." The book concludes with a resources section....The disease continues to affect hundreds of thousands of individuals and families annually. If cancer memoirs circulate well in your library and budgets allow, consider adding this to the health shelf. * Library Journal *In this uplifting book, registered nurse Katz gives hope to the more-than-10-million cancer survivors in the U.S. Each of nine chapters focuses on a patient with a different kind of cancer (bladder, uterine, breast), each of whom faces different issues, such as depression, embarrassment, and exhaustion, and, ultimately, fares well. A woman with breast cancer initially doesn’t like the look of her implants. A man with colon cancer can’t seem to talk with his wife over his feelings about his ostomy bag. A construction worker with prostate cancer feels uneasy talking to his boss about how he will need accommodations since he needs to go to the bathroom frequently and can’t do heavy lifting for a while. Sexuality counselor as well as nurse, Katz gives helpful and explicit information about stress reduction, sensual massage, and lubricants....Cancer survivors and their friends and families will get a psychological boost from her book. * Booklist *Anne Katz provides ample evidence that cancer changes everything. She identifies several major hurdles that often linger long after therapy ends. Each one is presented through the eyes of a survivor who overcame it and is now “living the new normal.” A cancer survivor reading this book may not have personally experienced all nine hurdles, but he or she will certainly identify with several....Surviving After Cancer: Living the New Normal is a very well organized book. It is written to help survivors and their families, and it does an able job at that. All advice provided is backed by solid research. And the patient stories make it easy for survivors to identify with many others who are also living the new normal. This book is a good resource for cancer patients at all stages of their illnesses. A newly diagnosed patient can read it and anticipate what may happen after therapy. A survivor recently discharged from care can read the sections that coincide with the hurdles they are encountering, and family members can do likewise. Using the excellent information and resources that Anne Katz has assembled here should make the cancer journey a smoother one with fewer detours. It may also improve understanding among family members who live with the survivor. * New York Journal of Books *Table of Contents1 Section 1: What is the New Normal? 2 Chapter 1: You're a survivor now 3 Section 2: The Challenges of Being a Cancer Survivor 4 Chapter 2: Is the cancer back? 5 Chapter 3: When Will I be happy again? 6 Chapter 4: What will Everyone Say? 7 Chapter 5: What Do I Feel So Tired? 8 Chapter 6: Where Did that Feeling Go? 9 Chapter 7: Feeling Fit 10 Chapter 8: What Should I Be Looking For? 11 Chapter 9: We Want to Start a Family 12 Chapter 10: Am I losing my mind? 13 Section 3: Surviving and Thriving: The New Normal 14 Chapter 11: A Blueprint for Health 15 Chapter 12: Resources 16 Chapter 13: Bibliography

Taylor & Francis Inc Contemporary Phytomedicines
Book SynopsisThe term phytomedicine was coined by French physician Henri Leclerc in 1913. Till recently phytomedicine has remained in the background. But due to emerging challenges to the conventional pharmaceutical industry (cost effectiveness and potency of the drugs), phytomedicine has made a dramatic comeback. Phytomedicine has witnessed several changes and several new concepts have been introduced. Phytomedicine, although, a separate discipline, is strongly linked to Phytotherapy and Phytopharmacology.As the title suggests the book is an attempt to bridge the gap between fundamental and emerging concepts in this field of medicine. The book has been divided into two parts. Part A deals with core issues of the phyto-pharmaceutical drug industry. The book begins with an introductory chapter dealing with basic definitions with phytomedicine. Chapters 2-5 narrate emerging subjects such as Phytopharmacovigilance, Phytopharmacoeconomics, PhytopharmacoepidemiolTable of ContentsIndustrial Aspects of Phytomedicine.

Balance Your Body in Balance: The New Science of Food,
Book SynopsisThis nationally bestselling book explains the shocking new science of how hormones are wreaking havoc on the body, and the delicious solution that improves health, reduces pain, and even helps to shed weight. Hidden in everyday foods are the causes of a surprising range of health problems: infertility, menstrual cramps, weight gain, hair loss, breast and prostate cancer, hot flashes, and much more. All of these conditions have one thing in common: they are fueled by hormones that are hiding in foods or are influenced by the foods we eat.Your Body in Balance provides step-by-step guidance for understanding what''s at the root of your suffering-and what you can do to feel better fast.

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Iron Shirt Chi Kung
Book SynopsisLong before the advent of firearms, Iron Shirt Chi Kung, a form of Kung Fu, built powerful bodies able to withstand hand-to-hand combat. Even then, however, martial use was only one aspect of Iron Shirt Chi Kung, and today its other aspects remain vitally significant for anyone seeking better health, a sound mind, and spiritual growth. In Iron Shirt Chi KungMaster Mantak Chia introduces this ancient practice that strengthens the internal organs, establishes roots to the earth’s energy, and unifies physical, mental, and spiritual health. Through a unique system of breathing exercises, he demonstrates how to permanently pack concentrated air into the connective tissues (the fasciae) surrounding vital organs, making them nearly impervious to injuries--a great benefit to athletes and other performers. He shows readers how once they root themselves in the earth they can direct its gravitational and healing power throughout their bone structure. Additionally, Master Chia presents postural forms, muscle-tendon meridians, and guidelines for developing a daily practice routine. After becoming rooted and responsive, practitioners of Iron Shirt Chi Kung can then focus on higher spiritual work.Trade Review"Practitioners of martial arts or related exercises will find this essential." * The Midwest Book Review, Sept 2006 *"Chia demonstrates his expertise in the field of chiropractic, medicine, Taoist yoga, sexual mystery and martial arts in such way that he feeds a medicinal and mystical understanding to the practice that can only stimulate the practitioners of this art to a deeper involvement and encourage the reader of this manual to take up this art." * The Cauldron Brasil, Feb 2007 *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Putting Iron Shirt Chi Kung into Practice 1.
