Book SynopsisChanging one's diet not only improves physical health, but benefits mood, behaviour and cognitive function at a fundamental level. This book highlights the link between nutrition and mental health and demonstrates the crucial role of diet in supporting individuals with ADHD. Written by an internationally-recognised leader in the growing field of nutritional psychiatry, Dr Rachel Gow takes a nutrition-based look at ADHD and its management. Combining the latest research with the inspirational stories of a range of professionals and individuals whose lives have been touched by the issues raised, this book also includes accessible tips throughout and a chapter of recipes to promote brain health. This is an essential guide to understanding the interplay of brain health and nutrition, and supporting families to build a diet that optimises brain function and health.Trade ReviewGood nutrition is a key tool in managing ADHD - this is the book we need! -- Rory BremnerI so admire Rachel. She has sacrificed a successful and lucrative career in real estate for the dubious delights of neuroscience research - insecure employment, ferocious competition, not to mention misogyny, in order to better understand and help ADHD. Using her formidable determination, intelligence and networking talents she has overcome most of the obstacles thrown in her way to achieve the extraordinary understanding and practical helpfulness clinically that is shown in spades in this book. -- Professor John SteinIt is a particular honour to write few words about Dr Rachel Gow's wonderful book Smart Foods for ADHD and Brain Health: How Nutrition Influences Cognitive Function, Behaviour and Mood. In writing this book Rachel is bringing to bear her knowledge and experience gained from working for a PhD under Professor Eric Taylor, one of the world's leading experts in psychiatry and mental health. In addition, she had as a mentor, Professor John Stein, head of Physiology at Oxford University, an external examiner, she had the best of teachers which the planet could muster. I, myself had the pleasure of being an external examiner hence I witnessed the beginning of excellence.It is my wish for PhD students that they end up knowing more about the subject than I. If that is not the case, the subject stagnates. It has been a constant pleasure for me to see how Rachel has more than fulfilled that wish. In writing this book she has laid out a fund of knowledge on the brain and ADHD and translated it for parents and children affected. Reading this book will enable them to learn and put into practice the best available evidence to help others based on her knowledge and experience. Writing quite frankly of her own experience and struggle with her son's ADHD, inhabits the mind as you read and which reveals the mind of an individual now dedicated to help others. The stigma attached to mental ill health is still with us, damaging the lives of those affected, a calamity which Rachel aims to arrest and reverse.The fact that burden of mental ill-health has been rising, and continues to rise, despite all the advances in medicine and science, is a sad testimony to neglect and difficult to understand or excuse. We have a better understanding of the causes but struggle to help those afflicted. For decades that stigmatism and lack of attention has led to the rise in mental ill-health since 1950. It is now the most costly burden of ill health and at a cost determined by the DoH which is greater than the cost of heart disease and cancer combined. Rachel's book is not only for those with mental health problems or their carers it is a book that everyone should read. The reason for this is that she explains the brain and the likely causes of its problems in easy language. But more than that she provides nutritional advice for maintaining healthy brain which is what we all need, with mental ill health escalating.The brain develops mainly before birth although much takes place in the first two years afterwards. There are no government advisories or recommendations about what to do about safeguarding the development and of the very thing which makes us human, They make recommendations about the need for protein for body growth, But there is nothing about the lipids and essential fatty acids needed for brain growth and maintenance. The brain after all is not a protein rich organ - that is reserved for muscles. The brain is a fat or what we scientists call lipid-rich organ. The fat makes up the membranes which do all the signalling for your awake activities and indeed some when you are asleep. We know that the health and nutrition of the mother before and around the time of conception is of paramount importance to the outcome or pregnancy. The truth of this statement is displayed by the fact that when a mother reports for the first time to register in the maternity unit for pregnancy care, the cells that are going to form the cortex of the brain of the child are already doing so. I am reminded of the parable in the Bible of the seed falling on rich soil or stony ground. But even though there is this over whelming importance of early nutrition of the sort that suits brain development, it is also important to maintain it in good form. The brain likes to keep itself to itself. When active in receiving information or giving it, large swathes of the brain turnover during the activity. They breakdown and are remade in the process of learning, recalling, computing or motor activity. Now no process of recycling is 100% efficient. So there is a continual loss from what was gained from your mother during early development. That needs to be replaced. Hence it is of critical importance to maintain the brain by simply eating brain food regularly. Rachel's book not only provides answers to what to do but even gives delightful recipes. She notes "Changing one's diet isn't easy, and Chapter 10 provides tools for making those changes, including a chart for meal planning." With mental ill health on the rise, there is every good reason to read this book. It is with great pleasure that I recommend this book to all. -- Professor Michael Crawford PhD, FRSB, FRCPath,Rachel has been an invaluable guide for me as a mum to help me support my four very different boys. Her thinking outside of the box approach is way ahead of anything that is currently on offer for parents and once again highlights the impact of what we feed our children has a direct impact on their behaviour and thinking and subsequently their lives. A must for any parent who is sick of the one size fits all and outdated approach to nutrition we are still taught to accept. -- Davinia Taylor, actor and biohacker and mum to four boysThis book teaches parents how to feed their family in very healthy and nutritious ways which may help support their learning and development as well as their mental health. -- Dr Sara Taylor, Clinical Psychologist"This book is simply a must-read for every parent. As a neuroscientist, clinical psychologist and parent, I am fully aware of how difficult it is to combine your expertise with your family life. The impact of nutrition on brain structure and function cannot be ignored, the consequences imply an enormous amount of stress and suffering for the individuals and their families. However, food industry interests' seem to be too strong to fight against them. Rachel shows in her book how little nutritional value is in preprocessed food and drinks, how that is related to brain health and provides us with easy and delicious recipes to enjoy family food in a healthy way. I can tell from experience my children love these recipes. Thanks Rachel!" -- Dr. Ana Cubillo, Clinical Psychologist, Neuroscientist and mother of 2"Rachel has been an absolute inspiration to me and help me understand my ADHD through using different skills to embrace it and also to manage life on a day to day basis by eating specific foods and nutrients especially omega 3 oils and less fatty and processed food. I am honoured to be the trust ambassador for Nutritious Minds where I get to help people who suffer like me with mental health and by being part of such a phenomenal organisation/charity i get to not only pass a message and help others i help myself by doing this amazing work. I am so proud of the grt work Dr. Rachel Gow has done by letting people suffering know that its not just about medication its also massively about the food we eat and exercise/nutrition we feed ourselves and I am proud to call her my friend." -- Paul Danan, actorTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisFollow 20 recipes to find calm, improve self-esteem, and form daily habits—in your very own kitchen!—through mindfulness-based cooking therapy. In Cooking As Therapy, licensed clinical social worker and Sous Therapist Debra Borden provides you with all the tools and techniques to have therapy sessions in the comfort of your own kitchen. Cooking therapy is an experiential therapy that allows you to conduct a therapy session while you cook a meal.

You only need an interest in self-exploration. Borden will teach you the processes involved in preparing a recipe or meal that trigger awareness and even “aha” moments. Unlike talk therapy, cooking therapy sessions incorporate tangible acts. It is less about what you prepare and more of a guided journey to self-reflection through how you prepare a dish.

Book Synopsis"If you or someone you know suffers from Alzheimer’s, I highly recommend this book."—Robb Wolf, New York Times bestselling author "An important and informative text . . . an excellent book."—Dr. David Perlmutter, New York Times bestselling author A revolutionary multi-pronged nutrition and lifestyle intervention to combat Alzheimer’s disease at its roots from Certified Nutrition Specialist Amy Berger Amy Berger’s research shows that Alzheimer’s results from a fuel shortage in the brain: As neurons become unable to harness energy from glucose, they atrophy and die, leading to classic symptoms like memory loss and behavioral changes. This is a revolutionary approach—one that has been discussed in the scientific literature for years but has only recently been given credence in clinical settings, thanks to extremely promising studies wherein Alzheimer’s patients have experienced complete reversals of the condition. Medical and scientific journals are full of research showing alternate ways to fuel the starving brain, but no one has been bringing this essential information to the people who need it most—until now. In a culture obsessed with miracle medications, the pharmaceutical route for tackling Alzheimer’s has been a massive failure. Pills and potions don’t address underlying causes, and regarding Alzheimer’s, they typically fail to improve even the symptoms. As a metabolic problem, the only effective way to treat Alzheimer’s may be a multifaceted approach that fundamentally reprograms energy generation in the brain. The good news is, the secret is as simple as switching to a low-carb, high-fat diet. The Alzheimer’s Antidote shows us that cognitive decline is not inevitable, but if it does occur, we don’t have to sit idly by and wait helplessly while it progresses and worsens. Amy Berger empowers loved ones and caregivers of Alzheimer’s sufferers, and offers hope and light against this otherwise unnavigable labyrinth of darkness.Trade Review“Magnificent. . . . The Alzheimer’s Antidote harvests our most highly regarded, scientific research to create an empowering, user-friendly game plan that rewrites our health destiny. . . . This is a program for everyone, whether already diagnosed, at high risk, or even if there is no family history of this disease.”--David Perlmutter, MD, author of Grain Brain, #1 New York Times Bestseller (from the Foreword)"There are few things people fear more than cancer, with the possible exception of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Not only does AD ultimately cut lives short, it effectively steals who the person 'is' long before they die. Traditional treatment methods have been lackluster at best, but there is hope. The Alzheimer's Antidote is a scientifically sound method of nutrition and lifestyle which combats AD at a molecular level. If you or someone you know suffers from AD, I highly recommend this book."--Robb Wolf, New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired to Eat“Amy Berger brings a fresh, new perspective to the rising problem of Alzheimer’s disease. She proposes a natural treatment that has, in my opinion, a far greater chance of clinical success than standard medications. The Alzheimer’s Antidote is a terrific book.”--Jason Fung, MD, author of The Obesity Code“Amy Berger elegantly explains how Alzheimer’s, a devastating disease that has touched virtually every American family (or soon will), is much more than just a normal manifestation of growing old, and its management must include much more than just cholinesterase inhibiting drugs. She delves deep into Alzheimer’s as a complex metabolic disease, one that can be greatly reduced, and likely avoided completely, with the right combination of lifestyle modifications within our control. Berger offers comprehensive treatment approaches that go way beyond what most patients are told by their physicians. This book is long overdue and a must-read for health care providers and laypeople alike.”--David M. Brady, ND, CCN, DACBN, author of the Amazon bestseller The Fibro Fix; vice president for health sciences and director of the Nutrition Institute, University of Bridgeport“A growing body of research suggests brain insulin resistance is strongly linked to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In The Alzheimer’s Antidote, Amy Berger provides a clear understanding of the pathology of AD and explains how a low-carb, high-fat lifestyle can improve cognitive function and increase quality of life by providing an alternate fuel source for the Alzheimer’s brain to use: ketone bodies. This exceptionally well-written, well-researched book is a must-read for family members and caregivers of people with AD.”--Franziska Spritzler, RD, CDE

Book SynopsisMost illnesses start in the gut, including many you would not even think of!If your gut isn’t functioning right, it sets the stage for illness and disease. The gut, the gastrointestinal system, is designed to absorb nutrients that support our bodies and help us make energy, and get rid of things that we don’t need or are toxic. But what happens when the system breaks down? Leaky gut syndrome (LGS) occurs when the lining of the small intestine is damaged, allowing foreign compounds to escape into your bloodstream, which weakens your immune system and triggers autoimmune reactions.Traditional physicians don’t understand what LGS is, much less how to diagnose and treat it. In fact, it is estimated that more than 80 percent of people with chronic illnesses have leaky gut, an overgrowth of bad bacteria, or not enough good bacteria.Here are some symptoms that may be caused by LGS: Digestive complaints, acid reflux, IBS, Crohn’s disease Joint and muscle pain, arthritis Obesity and food allergies Headaches, depression, anxiety, ADHD Itchy skin, rashes, eczema, acne, rosacea, psoriasis In Heal Your Leaky Gut, Dr. David Brownstein will explain how the gut, like the brain, heart, and liver, needs to be properly nourished in order for it to function correctly. Simply stated, if your gut is not healthy, your immune system is going to suffer.Improving your gut health and taking fewer drugs will help you feel better and look younger, improve your brain function, and treat myriad medical conditions. This book will give you all the information you need to change what you are now doing so you can have optimal gut health and, as a result, overall health and well-being.

Book SynopsisKoberwitz, Whitsun 1924: Rudolf Steiner had just completed his momentous lecture course on biodynamic agriculture and was waiting for a car to take him to the station. Suddenly he was approached by two of his pupils with an urgent question: Would his new indications for treating soil and vegetables be sufficient to provide, '...nutrition appropriate to our times and in accordance with the spirit?' Steiner's frank response was somewhat surprising: 'It will not be sufficient even in the most favourable circumstances. What should be done is to cultivate the Dioscorea batatas in Europe so that it can take over from the potato as the staple diet.' In the many decades since that conversation, various attempts have been made to cultivate Dioscorea batatas - the 'light root' - in Europe, initially by Steiner's close colleague Guenther Wachsmuth. More recently, biodynamic farmer Ralf Roessner began to research the plant and its background, but soon discovered problems with the specimens available in Europe. Unsatisfied with the standard of the plants, in 2002 he travelled to the original growing areas of Dioscorea batatas in China, where he was able to form a comprehensive picture of the best planting methods and conditions. 'The nodules which I found and brought back with me', he writes, 'showed similar light ether characteristics to the original plants of Wachsmuth's'. Having successfully cultivated and marketed this light root, Roessner presents some carefully assembled introductory materials based on his experiences and those of a colleague. This small book, illustrated with colour images, is intended for people who wish to discover more about the plant's being and spiritual mission as a 'helper of progress'. Roessner explains how the light root stores 'light ether' in a unique manner, making it not only a valuable food, but also a 'carrier of the spirit'. This light root could even '...decisively influence the development of humanity and the earth'. Aside from studying esoteric aspects, he gives answers to frequently-asked practical questions about the plant and its cultivation.Trade Review'This plant is the only one which is in a position to store light ether; this will be indispensable for people in future.' - Rudolf SteinerTable of ContentsForeword Initial approaches Beginnings Historical aspects The plant Special characteristics of the light root, compared with ordinary yams Methods of cultivation Nutritional significance The light root: considerations based on spiritual scientific research - thesis (2005) Tips for cooking and processing Healing Properties A Consideration of the plant being of the light root - thesis (2005) Concluding thoughts Bibliography

Book SynopsisYou can blame gluten, lack of exercise, or hormones for a number of our most common maladies, but the truth is, there''s often one big, overlooked culprit: dehydration. Humans are 65% water. So when we''re dehydrated, our body starts to slowly shut down, causing the headaches, fatigue, joint paint, weight gain, and even some autoimmune disorders that we often attribute to other causes.Using revolutionary research from the University of Washington''s Pollack Water Lab, hydration experts Dr. Dana Cohen and Gina Bria bring you a new plan for optimal hydration--and it isn''t just about drinking enough water. In fact, starting with their 5-day jump start, Cohen and Bria introduce you to the three cardinal rules of hydration:1. Drink for Maximum Absorption: Hydrate in the morning and before meals. Drinking just water can wash out other important nutrients and electrolytes, so incorporate salt, lemon, and green smoothies into your daily routine.2. Get water from your food: Cohen and Bria wet your appetite with delicious meal plans, including the most hydrating foods (like berries and cucumbers).3. Use movement to distribute hydration: Their revolutionary micro-movements can help bring much-needed water to your tissues and organs.With bonus tips like how to stay hydrated during a flight, the hydrating power of chia seeds, and water as an aid to digestion, Quench is the ultimate guide to getting enough water and improving your health. Cohen and Bria will help you shift from H2No to H2Woah.

Book SynopsisAs women of childbearing age have become heavier, the trade-off between maternal and child health created by variation in gestational weight gain has become more difficult to reconcile. Weight Gain During Pregnancy responds to the need for a reexamination of the 1990 Institute of Medicine guidelines for weight gain during pregnancy. It builds on the conceptual framework that underscored the 1990 weight gain guidelines and addresses the need to update them through a comprehensive review of the literature and independent analyses of existing databases. The book explores relationships between weight gain during pregnancy and a variety of factors (e.g., the mother's weight and height before pregnancy) and places this in the context of the health of the infant and the mother, presenting specific, updated target ranges for weight gain during pregnancy and guidelines for proper measurement.

Book SynopsisSchools and Food Education in the 21st Century examines how schools enact food policy, and through doing so, craft diverse foodscapes that create very different food experiences in schools. The school food policy discourse is made up of an amalgamation of discourses on obesity prevention, nutrition education, welfarism and foodieness. Whilst schools endeavor to enact policy in a variety of ways, this book shows how foodieness is taken up, and can only be taken up differently, in different schools.The bookâs unique contribution is to identify the discourse of foodieness and to show how this discourse, whilst seemingly universal, is actually situated in middle-class ideas and is therefore more easily taken up by certain schools. The book argues that the classed nature of foodieness leads to certain food knowledges becoming marginalized or lost and this then positions some schools in tension with their local communities, resulting in widely variant food experiences for children. Earl demonstrates how foodieness is taken up in schools by first exploring how the foodscape at school is shaped by policy and media sources. The book then examines how foodieness is taken up by schools with different SES profiles by showing how food moves through the school day.Asking critical questions on class and poverty that are often overlooked, this book will be of interest to researchers, academics and students working on food issues related to teaching, food, policy and schools in the fields of education, sociology and food studies. It should also be of interest to policymakers, parents and teachers. Trade Review"Schools and Food Education in the 21st century makes a novel and unique contribution to a part of school life that is frequently just not investigated – school dinners, school gardens and the curriculum of food. This is a witty, hugely readable and fascinating account about cooking, eating and growing food in schools that introduces concepts such as ‘foodieness' and 'food talk’. This book is essentially an ‘ethnography of eating’ based on a forensic account of food, eating and cooking in three primary schools that offers a powerful and original way into thinking about issues of class, power and embodiment."Professor Meg Maguire, School of Education, Communication and Society, UCL.Table of Contents1.
