Book SynopsisA Medicine Through Food™ Guide "This book has the answers that conventional medicine keeps missing. I highly recommend."—Christiane Northrup, MD, New York Times bestselling author Includes over 100 recipes, worksheets, and tools to help create a personal nutritional plan! Drugs that claim to prevent or redress bone loss can actually cause bones to crumble and break. Calcium supplements, fortified processed food, and pasteurized dairy don't work because the calcium in them doesn't reach our bones. It’s a grim picture, but The Healthy Bones Nutrition Plan and Cookbook can help. Coauthors Dr. Laura Kelly and Helen Bryman Kelly, daughter and mother, have a firm grasp on the disciplines concerned with bone health, including nutrient absorption and bone metabolism. They offer readers a natural, effective, and safe approach to conserving bone mass and building healthy bones by creating a personalized nutrition plan that includes eating the right foods in the right combinations. The authors’ quest for a natural, effective, safe way to prevent and treat bone loss began after 20 years of frustration, during which Helen tried supplements and several popular dietary approaches to arrest bone loss, only to see her bones continue to deteriorate year by year. Drawing on her knowledge of metabolic science and a rigorous examination of current research, Laura created a unique diet-based approach to bone health that allowed Helen’s body to absorb the nutrients that are naturally present in whole foods. Helen has been following her personal nutrition plan for four years and has stopped her bone loss completely—without taking any pharmaceuticals. Part One of the book begins with a primer on bone metabolism, including the roles of individual vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that can help build strong bones. Building on this knowledge and more, the authors provide a framework and worksheets so readers can use the recipes and work with their doctors to create their personal nutrition plan for skeletal health. The book includes more than 100 bone-health recipes ranging from sauces and small plates to soups, salads, and main dishes, drinks and desserts. The authors also explain how to make staple ingredients such as ghee and bone health vinegar and how to grow shiitake mushrooms—an important source of vitamin D. Readers can count on their personal nutrition plans and the Kellys’ recipes to provide food that helps calcium reach, and potentially strengthen, their bones.Trade Review“Calcium supplements and drugs are not the answer to preventing or treating osteoporosis. The Healthy Bones Nutrition Plan and Cookbook has the answers that conventional medicine keeps missing. I highly recommend this terrific book.”--Christiane Northrup, MD, ob/gyn physician; author of Goddesses Never Age “It’s hard to ignore, these days, that what we eat affects the state of our health, and much of our health depends on the state of our guts (microbiome). As we bump up against disease, it can be a scary road as to which way to turn and whom to trust. Understanding that we hold the power to reverse and prevent disease, most often through food alone, is the most powerful nugget of wisdom we can hold. Dr. Laura Kelly and her mother, Helen Bryman Kelly, thoroughly explain why osteoporosis is most often due to deficiency, not disease, and how and why to prepare traditional foods for bone health as well as overall gut health. They debunk many of the myths touted in today’s food culture and demonstrate how to have an integrated and empowering conversation with your doctor. Writing from firsthand experience, these authors have dotted every “I” and crossed every “T” when it comes to eating for bone health. From homemade calcium-rich vinegar to fermented probiotic drinks to finding the balance with occasional treats, this book supplies easy-to-make, targeted recipes as well as personal worksheets to map out your plan and track your progress. This is a must-read for those looking to treat osteoporosis and for anyone looking to understand nutrition, eat traditionally, and thrive.”--Hilary Boynton, coauthor of The Heal Your Gut Cookbook“The Healthy Bones Nutrition Plan and Cookbook is such an important source of valuable information about eating right to avoid bone loss. Every woman needs a copy in her library.”--Shannon Hayes, author of The Grassfed Gourmet Cookbook

Award-winning physician Dr. David Brownstein delves further into the mind-gut connection to provide a step-by-step plan to help put his findings into action with HEAL YOUR LEAKY GUT DIET AND MEAL PLAN. 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.Leaky gut syndrome (LGS) not only impacts your digestive system, it can also lead to numerous chronic conditions including allergies, arthritis, depression, anxiety, eczema, lupus, multiple sclerosis, Type 1 diabetes, and chronic fatigue. The good news is changing what you eat and drink is one of the best strategies for getting your body back on track. Dr. David Brownstein outlines simple steps you can take to change your diet and get on the path to better health: Eliminate “Gut Guzzlers” (the foods and beverages that make you sick) Incorporate more “Good Gut” foods, herbs, and nutrients that provide energy Food shopping and pantry organization tips Seven-day meal plan to help you get started Meal prep shortcuts to save time and keep you on track Shopping lists and what to keep on hand in your pantry Delicious, nutritious, and easy-to-prepare recipes Simple, easy-to-follow exercises And much more!

He will lay out the promise of the book, including how the food choices, recipes and lifestyle tips in the book will help them feel better, have more energy, and (a bonus) make them leaner. Readers don’t have to deprive themselves or go hungry in order to get healthy! He will also explain how the LGD Diet and Meal Plan will include info on nutritional and hormonal factors that are important to maintaining gut health. CHAPTER 1: What is Leaky Gut Syndrome? In this chapter, Dr. B will give an overview of LGS, the symptoms, conditions it creates, and gut facts, including the gut-brain connection, microbiome, and other factors that affect our gut). It will include new data/studies on gut issues that have come out since the first book was released in 2016. (e.g. A recent study published in the journal Nature Metabolism, found that as people get older, the composition of the complex community of microbes, known as the gut microbiome, tends to change. The greater the change, the better it is for your health and longevity.) CHAPTER 2: The Leaky Gut Diet and Meal Plan This chapter will take readers through the TK-steps of the Leaky Gut Diet/Meal Plan, a 6-week program that starts with getting rid of the “Gut Guzzlers”-- foods and ingredients that are making them sick. Dr. B will explain how introducing “Good Gut” foods, ingredients, and nutrients into their diet will help them heal and get healthier. The easy-to-follow steps in the diet and meal plan include: Step 1: Eliminate Gut Guzzlers. The diet starts with removing all refined foods/ingredients that deplete vital nutrients from your body. The list of Gut Guzzlers includes refined sugar, carbohydrates, flour, hydrogenated oils, and salt. Step 2: Safe Substitutes. Replace with Good Gut foods, including natural sweeteners (agave nectar, raw honey, molasas); Celtic sea salt, nutritious nuts for chips (e.g., almonds, Brazil nuts); whole-grain breads instead of white bread (sourdough, sprouted); and steel cut oatmeal for sugary cereals. Step 3: Stop the Pop/Lose the Lactose. An essential step in the LGD is avoiding soda, juice, and milk. Dr. B will explain why. Step 4: Hydrate. One of the key (and free) elements of the Leaky Gut Diet is drinking more water. This step show readers how to calculate their daily water intake. Step 5: Correct Hormonal Imbalances. If these recommended dietary changes are not showing an improvement, check with a doctor for hormonal imbalances, such as low thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, or cortisol levels to see if one of these is at the root of your gut issues. A hormonal treatment plan will help speed up your recovery process (along with following the diet plan). Step 6: Vitamins and supplements (The Pros of Pro- and Prebiotics) Step 7: Eat Slow Meals. The benefits of a whole food, plant-based diets filled with fresh fruits and vegetables versus highly processed, fast food. Step 8: Move. This step can be done from day one. The book will include motivational tips for exercise haters to make movement a regular part of their lives. CHAPTER 3: Organizing Your Pantry and Kitchen Any good meal plan begins with stocking the pantry. This chapter will help readers organize their kitchen cabinets by food groups that include the ingredients they will need to make the delicious, gut-healing recipes in the book. (e.g., poultry, pish, ped meat, produce, oils, nuts, spices, etc). It will also include a shopping list for food staples and fresh foods to buy daily/weekly, and what should be organic only.

CHAPTER 5: Recipes for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks & Beverages FEATURES/TIPS/CHARTS/SIDEBARS The Brain-Gut Connection. Dr. Brownstein will explain why readers who have “gone with their gut” or felt “butterflies in your stomach” when nervous, are likely getting signals from their second brain. Hidden in the walls of the digestive system, this “brain gut connection” is revolutionizing medicine’s understanding of the links between digestion, mood, health and even the way you think. Food Diary/Symptom Tracker. The book can include pages in the back for recording meals and snacks, along with a Symptom Tracker for spotting red flags (allergic reactions) as well as health improvements.

Book SynopsisThe huge and growing problem of type 2 diabetes already affects 10-20% of the population. Millions more are in the early stage of the disease (a condition called prediabetes) or are at high risk of developing it within five years. This book is designed to be a resource for people diagnosed with either diabetes or prediabetes. Though there is a lot of information and advice about living with diabetes, there is very little information about how to minimize the risk of health complications or, more importantly, how to get rid of it for good. This single, reliable, evidence-based, high-quality resource includes everything there is to know about beating type 2 diabetes. Beginning with a description of what type 2 diabetes is, how the condition is diagnosed, how it is treated, and how the condition is monitored and managed, the reader will gain a better understanding of the causes of type 2 diabetes, what the risk factors are, and why it is linked so strongly to being overweight or obese. Understanding type 2 diabetes means the reader is now equipped to reverse the diagnosis. To help the reader beat type 2 diabetes, the author provides an effective weight-loss plan. This plan uses sensible, varied, non-extreme dieting combined with enjoyable and exhilarating (but not exhausting!) exercise that should kick diabetes into remission and improve overall health. The great thing about the diet part of the plan is that it does not require sticking with the same boring diet for week after week. Instead, the reader can use a variety of different, but equally effective, diets which can be changed weekly. With this book, the reader can reverse their diagnosis and beat type 2 diabetes for good!
