Book SynopsisThis comprehensive guide introduces Body-Mind Centering, the internationally recognized field pioneered by dancer and occupational therapist Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen. Devoting thirty-five years to a systematic investigation of the relations between bodily experience and the anatomical maps of science, Bainbridge Cohen independently discovered many of the principles that underlie Feldenkrais work, cranial osteopathy, Rolfing, dance therapy, and Zero Balancing. Experienced BMC practitioner Linda Hartley demonstrates the basic philosophy and key elements of Body-Mind Centering. Drawing on animal and infant movements, she takes readers through the wondrous realms of Bainbridge Cohen’s pantheon—from the ''minds'' of the skeletal and muscular systems to the quite different inner lives of digestive, lymphatic, urinary, respiratory, vocal, circulatory, endocrine, and reproductive organs. Her choreography ultimately brings us into the states of consciousness of skins, cells, blood, fat, cerebrospinal fluid, nervous system, and brain. Hartley’s explorations of the images, feelings, sensations, and intuitions of the diverse organs and cells lead to exercises that gently guide students in ways of discovering and integrating their bodies’ multidimensional aspects.

Book Synopsis*** NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ***What do obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, fatty liver disease, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, neurological disorders and premature death have in common? All can be stoked by high uric acid levels. Our most respected scientific literature is bursting with evidence that elevated uric acid levels lie at the root of many pervasive health conditions, but mainstream medicine for the most part remains unaware of this connection. This is especially alarming because many people don't know they are suffering from sky-high levels, putting them at risk for developing or exacerbating potentially life-threatening illnesses.Offering an engaging blend of science and practical advice, Drop Acid exposes the deadly truth about uric acid and teaches invaluable strategies to manage its levels, including:- Simple dietary edits focused on reducing fructose and foods high in 'purines' that can raise uric acid.- Natural hacks that lower levels such as consuming tart cherries, vitamin C, quercetin, and coffee.- Identifying common pharmaceuticals that threaten to increase uric acid.- Lifestyle interventions, like restorative sleep and exercise.- How to easily test your uric acid levels at home - a test routinely performed in your doctor's office during regular check-ups but typically ignored.Featuring the ground-breaking 'LUV' (Lower Uric Values) diet, 35 delicious recipes, self-assessment quizzes and a 21 day program for dropping levels, Drop Acid empowers readers with the information they need to address this hidden danger and live longer, leaner and healthier lives.Trade ReviewDr Perlmutter again opens our eyes to another predictor of illness involved in many of the chronic ailments that plague modern humanity and provides us the tools to regain control of our metabolic health. -- Dr Mehmet OzIn typically brilliant fashion, one of the most trustworthy voices in medicine today has WOWED again.

It's fascinating and filled with so much actionable information that will help you quickly. -- Daniel G. Amen, MD, founder of Amen Clinics and author of The End of Mental IllnessMost gifted author-neurologist Dr David Perlmutter is always ahead of the curve and scientifically accurate. In his new book, Drop Acid, Dr Perlmutter alerts us to the surprisingly diverse ramifications of uric acid, and offers us a clear path to bringing this key metabolic parameter under control. Once again, Dr Perlmutter's vision will go a long way to enhancing our health and longevity. -- Dale Bredesen, MD, author of The End of Alzheimer'sFructose has far-ranging negative consequences for health, and Dr Perlmutter reveals that it threatens us by increasing uric acid levels. The damage uric acid wreaks on our brains, heart, and kidneys, if left unchecked, is unseen and unfelt. In a thoroughly easy to read and enjoyable book, Dr Perlmutter not only breaks down the dangers lurking in our current diet from fructose but gives a step-by-step guide to get the other hidden sources of uric acid out of your life.

Book SynopsisOur instinctive knowledge of which foods are helpful and which are harmful appears increasingly to be fading. We are bombarded with advice, information and prescriptions as to what we should eat and drink, but the issues surrounding nutrition - questions of health, diet, taste, even ecology and sustainability - remain largely unresolved. Unlike most commentators on this subject, Rudolf Steiner tackles the theme of nutrition in a refreshingly open way. At no point does he try to tell us what we should or should not be putting into our bodies - whether with regard to an omnivorous or vegetarian diet, smoking, drinking alcohol, and so on. The job of the scientist, he says, is to explain how things act and what effect they have; what people do with that information is up to them. However, he emphasizes that our diet not only determines our physical wellbeing, but can also promote or hinder our inner spiritual development. In this carefully collated anthology, with an introduction, commentary and notes by Christian von Arnim, Rudolf Steiner considers nutrition in the light of his spiritual-scientific research. He explains the impact of raw food, vegetarian and meat diets, the effects of protein, fats, carbohydrates and salts, individual foodstuffs such as potatoes, beetroots and radishes, as well as the impact of alcohol and nicotine. His insights are vital to anybody with a serious interest in health, diet and spiritual development.

Joey shares insight, knowledge and humour alongside a selection of tasty, simple-to-prepare and inviting bowl-based recipes. The first section of my copy is well-thumbed, with much underlined; the second recipe section is smattered with dollops of ingredients from delightful cooking with my children. This is a book you will come back to time and again for its humble words and beautiful recipes" - Tia Tamblyn, Breakfast and Beyond Podcast"Through this uniquely powerful and beautifully presented book, Mind & Bowl, Joey Hulin gently yet effectively awakens all our senses to the importance of eating and cooking more mindfully. As she so eloquently describes, 'eating can become habitual and unconscious to the extent that we often barely taste the food we eat, let alone really enjoy it.' Through each chapter of this culinary manual and journey, we are encouraged to pay closer attention to our relationship with food, in turn, understanding ourselves and our eating habits better, with a view to develop healthier practices. Not only will you make better choices, but once you have experienced this book's deeper wisdom, you will develop a greater appreciation for every ingredient, every forkful, and every meal!"
