Now slim and with new reserves of energy, David set out to investigate the connection between sugar, our soaring obesity rates and some of the more worrying diseases of the twenty-first century.

Book SynopsisFrom the author of the New York Times bestseller The Plant Paradox comes a groundbreaking plan for living a long, healthy, happy life.From the moment we are born, our cells begin to age. But aging does not have to mean decline. World-renowned surgeon Dr. Steven Gundry has been treating mature patients for most of his career. He knows that everyone thinks they want to live forever, until they hit middle age and witness the suffering of their parents and even their peers. So how do we solve the paradox of wanting to live to a ripe old age''but enjoy the benefits of youth?This groundbreaking book holds the answer. Working with thousands of patients, Dr. Gundry has discovered that the ''diseases of aging'' we most fear are not simply a function of age; rather, they are a byproduct of the way we have lived over the decades. In The Longevity Paradox, he maps out a new approach to aging well''one that is based on supporting the health of the ''oldest'' parts of us: the microorganisms that live within our bodies.Our gut bugs''the bacteria that make up the microbiome''largely determine our health over the years. From diseases like cancer and Alzheimer''s to common ailments like arthritis to our weight and the appearance of our skin, these bugs are in the driver''s seat, controlling our quality of life as we age.The good news is, it''s never too late to support these microbes and give them what they need to help them''and you''thrive. In The Longevity Paradox, Dr. Gundry outlines a nutrition and lifestyle plan to support gut health and live well for decades to come. A progressive take on the new science of aging, The Longevity Paradox offers an action plan to prevent and reverse disease as well as simple hacks to help anyone look and feel younger and more vital.Trade Review“In The Longevity Paradox, Dr. Steven Gundry upends many long-held beliefs about aging, debunking common misconceptions and making the provocative yet persuasive argument that the length and quality of our lives is a function of the health of our microbiome. Practical, informative, and hopeful, this book will change the way you think about aging.” — Mark Hyman, MD, Director, Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine and #1 New York Times best-selling author of Food: What the Heck Should I Eat? “The Longevity Paradox offers a fresh perspective on an existential question: how can we live a long life and grow old while still enjoying the physical and mental qualities of being young? What Dr. Gundry shows us is not only that it’s possible to thrive as we age, but that the power to do it lies in our own hands (or, more accurately, our guts). It’s an essential read for anybody who’s growing older – which is to say, everybody.” — Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO, Thrive “The Longevity Paradox is a well-written, entertaining tour of your generally friendly neighborhood microbiome that will help you learn to live younger and longer.” — Dr. Oz “We’re often told that future scientific research will provide an elixir that will not only allow us to live longer, but live healthier as well. But as Dr. Gundry deftly reveals in The Longevity Paradox, we have those tools in hand, right now, that can open the door to a longer and healthier life experience. This highly empowering text leverages leading-edge research and provides a user-friendly interface enhancing and extending our precious existence.” — David Perlmutter, MD, author of New York Times bestseller Grain Brain and Brain Maker “In The Longevity Paradox, Dr. Steven Gundry translates the complex science of aging into a clear, actionable plan. If you want to live longer and healthier, this is the best book on the subject.” — Dale Bredesen, MD, New York Times bestselling author of The End of Alzheimer’s “Dr. Gundry has already helped many of the millions of people who are suffering from inflammatory disorders. Now, in The Longevity Paradox, he shows readers how to fend off the inflammation that contributes to disease and decline with age.” — Valter Longo, PhD, Director of the Longevity Institute, USC, and bestselling author of The Longevity Diet “In his latest, readers will find Dr. Gundry’s friendly demeanor, sound advice, and compassionate motivational techniques unchanged as he takes a closer look at the aging process and examines a variety of ways to mitigate the damage done to the body across a lifetime. A proactive, manageable, and practical approach to stemming the aging tide.” — Kirkus Reviews

Book SynopsisOver 400 million people around the world have been diagnosed with diabetes. Before the discovery of insulin, diabetes was treated through diet, from eating purely meat to the reliance on fats, and repeated fasting. After two centuries of conflicting medical advice, most authorities today believe that those with diabetes can have the same dietary freedom enjoyed by the rest of us, including the occasional ice-cream, leaving the job of controlling the disease to insulin therapy. However, this guiding principle has been accompanied by an explosive rise in diabetes over the last fifty years, and the expectation that sufferers' health will deteriorate steadily over time. In this ground-breaking book, award-winning science writer Gary Taubes explores the history of the treatment of diabetes, elucidating the way that badly conceived research influences the guidance that doctors offer today, at the expense of patients' long-term well-being. Passionately argued and deeply researched, Rethinking Diabetes reimagines diabetes care with diet at its centre, and is hugely persuasive in its questioning of the established wisdom that may have enabled the current epidemic of diabetes and obesity.

Book SynopsisFears, anxieties, traumas, and physical and emotional shocks imprint on the body and remain dormant in its vast memory store until they are roused by an event or encounter. They may manifest in a different form or place—a fearful incident may transform itself into a stomachache or a headache, or even a chronic disease. Pain creates its own path. In particular, psychological and emotional stresses affect the functioning of the internal organs. In Understanding the Messages of Your Body, Dr. Jean-Pierre Barral explains the relationships that exist between internal organs and emotions, to allow us to free ourselves from the effects of present and past tensions and traumas. The book opens with an explanation of the body-mind relationship and goes on to show how physical-emotional therapy works based on examples from Dr. Barral’s clinical practice. The second part of the book offers detailed analyses of various “types” of human personality and the physical-emotional complexes and related organ dysfunctions that accompany them. The author offers advice and encouragement to improve physical, psychological, and emotional health, and recommends physical exercises, psychotherapeutic approaches, and dietary plans that can be used by both professional therapists and the average reader.

Book SynopsisMillions of people suffer from autoimmunity whether they know it or not. The root cause of most weight gain, brain and mood problems, and fatigue, autoimmunity can take years for symptoms and a clear diagnosis to arise. Through years of research, Dr. Tom O'Bryan has discovered that autoimmunity is actually a spectrum, and many people experiencing general malaise are already on it. And while autoimmune diseases like Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, diabetes, and lupus have become the third leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer, many people affected are left in the dark. The good news is that many autoimmune conditions can be reversed. The Autoimmune Fix includes two comprehensive 3-week plans: In the first 3 weeks, readers will follow a Paleo- inspired diet during which they cut out gluten, sweets, and dairy - the three primary culprits behind autoimmunity. Once the dietary changes have been addressed, The Autoimmune Fix focuses on the other causes of autoimmunity, such as genetics, other dietary issues, and microbiome. The Autoimmune Fix provides a practical guide to navigating these increasingly common conditions to help readers feel better and develop a plan that will work for them.Trade ReviewPraise for "The Autoimmune Fix"In this groundbreaking book, esteemed expert Dr. Tom O Bryan provides an effective, easy-to-implement, meticulously researched plan to address autoimmune conditions that hold your health and weight hostage.

Dr. O'Bryan masterfully integratesdecades of clinical experience, research, and training other physicians. Highlyrecommended! --Alan Christianson, NMD "New York Times "bestselling author of "The Adrenal Reset Diet" The hero who has contributed so much to the field of non-celiac gluten sensitivity and celiac disease now shines a light on a mysterious epidemic that is still in the shadows for many: autoimmune disease. Dr. O Bryan very elegantly connects the dots between environmental triggers such as food and how they can affect the very immune system that s supposed to protect us. THE AUTOIMMUNE FIX doesn t pull any punches. It unflinchingly identifies the foods that put you at risk for future autoimmune disease, foods you might love, foods you might think nothing about eating daily, but it also gives you actual detailed recipes and protocols that will have you eating and living your way to health. Dr. O Bryan also talks about predictive autoimmunity, one of my favorite subjects. With autoimmunity, you have two choices: wait until millions are suffering from full-blown autoimmune disorders, then put them on a lifetime of immune suppressants and biologics as well as years of suffering. Or, you can use predictive antibodies to detect autoimmunity in the early stages of the disease, and then take steps to halt or even reverse the course of the incipient autoimmune disorder. THE AUTOIMMUNE FIX wisely tells us to take the latter, more pro-active choice, and to paraphrase what Dr. O Bryan says in his book, it s not the doctors you see, the drugs you take, or the surgeries and therapies you undergo; what will impact your health ultimately are the choices you make in your life, and getting this book is one of those choices. --Aristo Vojdani, PhD, MSc, CLS, CEO, Immunosciences Lab., Inc., and author of "Neuroimmunity and the Brain-Gut Connection"We are so thrilled to support Dr. O'Bryan's work, "The Autoimmune Fix," a book whose time has come. Medicine is evolving and there is a new paradigm for preventing and reversing autoimmune disease, one that is empowering and surprisingly simple to implement. So thankful for this step-by-step manual out in the world to make it easy for anyone to take control of their health."--James Maskell, Founder and CEO Evolution of Medicine Dr. O Bryan's understanding of the physiopathology of autoimmune disease is second to none. His ability to translate complex research findings into practical, applicable recommendations that can be individualized to suit each patient s case is admirable. Because of his ability to make complexity accessible, translational and applicable, I recommend every nutrition practitioner to read Dr. O Bryan s book. --Miguel Toribio-Mateas, MSC, BSC, NutMed, ABAAHP, FBANT, CNCH, Reg. Chairman of the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy We allknow that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Well, when you readthis book and implement Tom s advice you will be stacking the weights in yourfavour, helping yourself enjoy a healthier, longer life. Why? Because Dr. TomO Bryan has written a different kind of book here. He described how you canprevent auto-immunity from occurring in the first place. Fortune favours theprepared mind; now you have this book in your hand, don t let it go. --Antony Haynes, Nutritional Therapist, Functional Medicine Practitioner, Author, Lecturer, Head of Technical Services, Nutri-Link, Ltd."Dr. Tom O'Bryan is one of the most important voices on autoimmunity in the wellness revolution. The information in this book can free millions who are locked in a quality of life that is less than they deserve. Brilliantly explained, backed by science, and a rock solid protocol to get your health back."--Christa Orecchio, CN, HHC bestselling author of "How to Conceive Naturally," Microbiome Expert Dr O Bryan, does not just get the zeitgeist of immune dysfuntion as a primary driver of major degenerative illness, he helps to define it! A great narrative underpinned with relevant research served up with practical solutions ingest this, then switch your eating habits to those recommended; they will both have a profound effecton your health and life. --Dr. Michael Ash, DO, ND, BSc, RNT, Managing Director & Head of Research and Development, Nutri-Link, Ltd. During the past two decades, no single person has contributed more to the understanding and importance of recognizing the negative effects that Gluten has played in human health than Dr. Tom O Bryan. The hundreds of seminars, lectures and conferences where Dr. O Bryan has presented this breakthrough information to literally thousands of physicians is proven true by the results these physicians have experienced as they applied this knowledge to tens of thousandsof their patients. Dr. O Bryan s newbook The Autoimmune Fix will prove to become an essential tool to help assist the growing number of individuals whose health and lives are being impacted by the exposure to gluten on their immune system and quality of life. It is with gratitude and pride that I wish to offer my encouragement for everyone to get a copy of Dr. O Bryan s book as well as to each physician to also get a personal copy of this book and one for their waiting room as well. --Tom Schembari, President, NuMedicaAdvancing Nutrition"When new health information is identified, it can sometimes take a long time before doctors actually implement this information in their treatment protocols. I have had the privilege of working with Dr. Tom O'Bryan for more than a decade and admire his passion and commitment to pushing new health information to the forefront, supporting it with his own research and clinical experience, particularly to help other clinicians and patients identify possible triggers of autoimmune disease. The sooner these triggers are identified in a person, the higher the chance of arresting or reversing the disease development. A splendid job of explaining this difficult topic. You will be grateful you've read this."--Jean Bellin, President, Cyrex Laboratories, Past President, Metagenics Nutrition The hero who has contributed so much to the field of non-celiac gluten sensitivity and celiac disease now shines a light on a mysterious epidemic that is still in the shadows for many: autoimmune disease. Dr. O Bryan very elegantly connects the dots between environmental triggers such as food and how they can affect the very immune system that s supposed to protect us.

Dr. O'Bryan clearly lays out why individuals with certain genetic predispositions will react to certain foods, which will trigger inflammation that will lead to intestinal permeability and the start of a process which, if not checked, will trigger poor health, autoimmune diseases, or worse. More importantly, Dr. O'Bryan lays out how to avoid all this and regain your health using his two phases of transition, which are described in this book in great detail, and also include very helpful Transition Protocol Recipes to be used during his two phases of transition. I believe that anyone interested in living a healthier and longer life should read "The Autoimmune Fix," including all doctors and health care practitioners, as it will lead all to a much greater understanding of health and disease. --Scott Adams, Founder, www.Celiac.com This is a fascinatingly detailed book about the outcome of autoimmunity its causes, mechanisms, and effects on the body. It tells you what to eat, and more importantly, what not to eat if you want to remain healthy, keep doing your marathon running and not be subject to the diseases caused by our affluent Westernised life-style and junk foods, and to which most of us are still prey. Read it and be enlightened! Warmly recommended for those worried about their bodies and brains .--Professor Michael N. Marsh, Wolfson College, University of Oxford As a doctor and brain scientist, I understand that autoimmune diseases pose one of the greatest threats to our bodies and our minds. Not only do they damage our organs, but they erode self-esteem and can be difficult to identify and treat. In this book, Tom O Bryan offers a sensitive and comprehensive account of autoimmune disease, all at once engaging us in both the reasons they occur, and what we can do about this. With the vast amount of information available, it s important to know where to look when you or a loved one needs help. Look no further! With the combination of the highest scientific integrity and the ease of understanding, this book is a gem worth getting and guarding, for it is bound to be regarded as a classic of its time. --Srini Pillay, M.D. Assistant Professor, Harvard Medical School, Award-winning author of "Life Unlocked" Dr. Tom O Bryan is brilliant at translating complex medical information into simple to understand ideas. In his new book, The Autoimmune Fix, he shows you a breakthrough plan to stop auto-immune triggers and restore your health. If you have an autoimmune disease, I urge you to read this book. Steven Masley, MD, FAHA, FACN, FAAFP, CNS bestselling author of "The 30-Day Heart Tune-Up" and "Smart Fat" I love this book! It was truly hard to put down. A fascinating read from one of the most brilliant men I know. This book is easy to read and holds your interest the whole way through. Thanks, Tom, I'm so proud of you. You're such a gift to the world. You nailed it! --Donna Gates, International bestselling author of "The Body Ecology Diet: Recovering Your Health and Rebuilding Your Immunity, and The Body Ecology Guide to Growing Younger" In my opinion, everyone should read this book. My colleague Dr. Tom O Bryan has been researching the serious progressive effects of the autoimmune spectrum for decades. He has gained incredible insights into its causes, effects, and how to vanquish the symptoms. This book contains his lifetime work. The concept of the autoimmune illness is complex to get your head around. However, Dr. O Bryan expertly explains it to us step-by-step so you can understand why your body is steadily deteriorating, and how to reverse this downward spiral. It is a progressive inflammatory state in your body that provokes your immune system to over respond and attack itself. He tells us that the three things necessary for the development of autoimmune disease are genetics, environmental triggers, and intestinal permeability: he explains this in easy-to-read detail. He tells us that it is the quantity and quality of our food that is important: he reveals that the stand-out culprits are gluten, dairy and sugar. Read this book and follow the steps to dampen down the fire of reactivity that can rage through your body. --Prof. Rodney Ford MD, MBBS, FRACP, author of "The Gluten Syndrome "and" Gluten: ZERO Global"I can t recommend this book enough!

Why is fibre hiding in plain sight? Where do I find it? How much is enough? Is it the same as roughage? Doesn’t it give me gas? Fibre for Life provides these answers and many more – inspiring you to shift your food intake to types of foods that are better for you, the environment, and the whole health of the planet. Chapters include:Hiding in Plain Sight – How fibre has been quietly driving human longevity. Fibre-to-sugar ratio is key.The Fibre Conspiracy – Why is fibre so often ignored when it comes to improving human health?Why Fibre is So Amazing – What is this miracle drug and where do we get it from?Understanding Your Gut – How exactly does fibre creates a healthy gut, fights disease, and prolongs life?The Fibre Fix – What you need to eat and the “anti-diet plan”.Let’s Get Cooking – Adding fibre without changing your lifestyle: simple recipes and a basic menu plan.Beyond Fibre – The magical trinity: fibre, physical activity and fun.
