    5 in stock

    Book SynopsisAffecting 80% of the population, leaky gut syndrome is the root cause of a litany of ailments, including chronic inflammation, allergies, autoimmune diseases, hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, diabetes, and even arthritis.In order to keep us in good health, our gut relies on maintaining a symbiotic relationship with trillions of microorganisms that live in our digestive tract. In Eat Dirt, Dr Axe explains that what we regard as modern improvements to our food supply – including refrigeration, sanitation, and modified grains – have damaged our intestinal health. In fact, the same organisms in soil that allow plants and animals to flourish are the ones we need for gut health. When our digestive system is out of whack, serious health problems can manifest and our intestinal walls can develop microscopic holes, allowing undigested food particles, bacteria, and toxins to seep into the bloodstream. This condition is known as leaky gut syndrome and manifests differently in every individual.In Eat Dirt, Dr Axe identifies the five main types of leaky gut syndrome and offers customizable 30-day plans for diagnosing and treating each 'gut type' with diet, lifestyle, and supplementation. He explains that it's essential to get a little 'dirty' in our daily lives in order to support our gut bacteria and prevent leaky gut syndrome, and offers simple ways to get these needed microbes, from incorporating local honey and bee pollen into your diet to forgoing hand sanitizers and even ingesting a little probiotic-rich soil. The premise is simple: identify your gut type, learn which foods to eat and to avoid, incorporate your daily dose of 'dirt', and make simple lifestyle changes.Trade ReviewOur understanding of what really threatens human health is undergoing a revolution, and Eat Dirt magnificently describes this paradigm shift. Dr. Axe's guidance, centered on reestablishing healthy gut bacteria, is in line with our most respected and forward-thinking medical research.

You'll love this fun, counterintuitive strategy to achieve optimal health: Get dirty! * JJ Virgin, author of The Sugar Impact Diet *In Eat Dirt, Dr. Axe deconstructs the myth behind our war against germs, sheds light on why and how we are sick, and honors the ancient wisdom of healing that starts with the gut. * Kelly Brogan, MD ABIHM, author of A Mind of Your Own *Insightful and interesting, if you're often out of sorts it might be worth a read * The Sun *

    Book SynopsisExamining the healthy lives of our pre-agricultural Paleolithic ancestors and the marked decline in stature, bone density, and dental health and the increase in birth defects, malnutrition, and disease following the implementation of the agricultural lifestyle, Nora Gedgaudas shows how our modern grain- and carbohydrate-heavy low-fat diets are a far cry from the high-fat, moderate-protein hunter-gatherer diets we are genetically programmed for, leading not only to lifelong weight gain but also to cravings, mood disorders, cognitive problems, and “diseases of civilization”--such as cancer, osteoporosis, metabolic syndrome (insulin resistance), heart disease, and mental illness. Applying modern discoveries to the basic hunter-gatherer diet, she culls from vast research in evolutionary physiology, biochemistry, metabolism, nutrition, and chronic and degenerative disease to unveil a holistic lifestyle for true mind-body health and longevity. Revealing the primal origins and physiological basis for a high-fat, moderate-protein, starch-free diet and the importance of adequate omega-3 intake--critical to our brain and nervous system but sorely lacking in most people’s diets--she explains the nutritional problems of grains, gluten, soy, dairy, and starchy vegetables; which natural fats promote health and which (such as canola oil) harm it; the crucial role of vitamin D in cancer and disease prevention; the importance of saturated fat and cholesterol; and how diet affects mental health, memory, cognitive function, hormonal balance, and cellular aging. With step-by-step guidelines, recipes, and meal recommendations, this book offers sustainable strategies for a primally based, yet modern approach to diet and exercise to reduce stress and anxiety, lose weight, improve sleep and mood, increase energy and immunity, enhance brain function, save money on groceries, and live longer and happier.Trade Review“Primal Body, Primal Mind is the best nutritional book I have ever read. It covers everything. I have already bought 3 copies to give to worthy friends. A gold mine of great information.” * Louise L. Hay, Hay House Publishing *“Nora Gedgaudas is a warrior fighting for our collective health. For 2.6 million years humans knew what to eat: animal fat and protein. On that diet, we grew tall, strong, and disease-free. That primal pattern is still there, laid down like a labyrinth circling out of our DNA, and Nora is ready to guide us. This book is fabulous.” * Lierre Keith, author of The Vegetarian Myth *“These days, hormones are a hot topic. In Primal Body, Primal Mind, Gedgaudas focuses on those hormones that are commonly imbalanced and problematic to the American population, contributing to symptoms such as weight gain, low energy, poor mood, and even premature aging. In clear and simple terms Nora describes the root of these problems and outlines solutions that are effective and easy to apply. This is the book you want to read.” * Janet R. Lang, D.C., author, educator, and founder of Restorative Endocrinology *“Nora Gedgaudas lights a path toward dietary discretion and natural health that obliterates much of the standard dietary doctrine along the way. Larger truths have a tendency to be simple. It is so here as well.” * Siegfried Othmer, Ph.D., coauthor of ADD: The 20 Hour Solution and chief scientist at the EEG Instit *“It’s a health plan so easy even an unga bunga caveman can do it! Gedgaudas uses humor, science-based facts, and common sense to debunk many of the myths we have been told about weight and health control in the 21st century. In the world of healthy high-fat, low-carb nutrition research and education, this is yet another book to complement your healthy lifestyle change.” * Jimmy Moore, author of Livin’ la Vida Low Carb *“One of the best books I have read dealing with nutrition and lifestyle for optimal health.” * David Perlmutter, MD, FACN, ABIHM, author of, The Better Brain Book and Power Up Your Brain: The Neu *“Every so often, you encounter a gem among the dross competing for your attention. Such is the case with Primal Body, Primal Mind, written by Nora Gedgaudas.” * Mark Steinberg, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist and Clinical Neuropsychologist *“In my opinion, Primal Body, Primal Mind is the best book so far ever done on the Paleolithic diet. Despite the rich and detailed amount of science included in Nora Gedgaudas’s excellent book, even Britney Spears could understand it.” * Charles Poliquin, Poliquin Strength Institute, Olympic and World Champion Strength Coach *“Nora Gedgaudas has loaded Primal Body, Primal Mind with the information and resources essential for anyone who hopes to survive the 21st century in mental and physical health.” * Julia Ross, author of The Diet Cure and The Mood Cure and executive director of the Recovery Systems *“When you read Nora’s work, rest assured you are not reading a regurgitated version of whatever is in fashion, but instead the careful harvest of decades of careful research, application and observation .” * Elaine Fawcett, MJ., NT., Health Journalist and Nutritional Therapist *“. . . Primal Body, Primal Mind reveals how the coming of agriculture resulted in a marked decline in stature, bone density, dental health, with a corresponding rise in birth defects, malnutrition, and disease directly related to an agriculturally-based life style. . . Primal Body Primal Mind is an enthusiastically recommended addition to personal, academic, and community library Health & Nutrition instructional reference collections.” * Midwest Book Review, August 2011 *“If you are serious about changing your eating habits to a healthier regimen, you should consider reading Primal Body, Primal Mind. Following Gedgaudas’ suggestions will not only give you a healthier body but also a clearer and more functional mind.” * ReaderViews, August 2011 *“. . . it is splendid and solid . . .” * LewRockwell.com, August 2011 *“In addition to addressing large health issues with clarity and precision, Gedgaudas provides step-by-step guidelines and meal recommendations, giving her work even more utility, while tossing in moments of humor for good measure.” * ForeWord Magazine, September 2011 *“This book provides a range of new information. It is an excellent resource for those of us who believe in the importance of grass fed animal fats as a crucial source of Omega-3.” * Bruce Ward, Holistic Results, November 2011 *“If you want to really know about how your brain and body work, read this book!” * Thom Hartmann, author of The Edison Gene: ADHD and the Gift of the Hunter Child *“This is one of the best health information books I have read in a long time.” * Annette Epifano, New Connexion, November 2011 *“A fascinating read that not only motivates you to change your diet but also provides the practical tools to do so.” * Merikah Robertson, Common Ground *“Primal Body, Primal Mind is so much more than just another “what to eat” book – it explains in everyday terms why eating like our Paleolithic ancestors works. With ample research to back up her claims, certified nutritional therapist Nora Gedgaudas reveals what we are and are not genetically programmed to eat.” * Healthy Referral, July 2012 *“I consider Nora’s work to be the definitive statement on the nutritional needs of the brain. It is required reading for all of my patients and for anyone with an interest in maintaining their own vitality throughout their life.” * Glen Zielinski, D.C., D.A.C.N.B., assistant professor of clinical neurology at Carrick Institute for *“Nora explores where our dietary requirements originated and how they affect our mood and vulnerability to diseases and explains the complex issues of nutrient assimilation, digestion gluten sensitivity, and celiac disease. Find out if you’re a fat burner or a sugar burner, learn the bad news about gluten, soy, milk proteins, and the nutritional bases for depression, ADHD, and other common disorders.

These are the same pathways more commonly activated by fasting and exercise - meaning they help the body to burn fat, increase muscle and improve health.Based on trials that showed an increase in lean muscle, as well as consistent weight loss of 7lbs over the course of just one week, The Sirtfood Diet is revolutionizing sports nutrition and healthy eating.Written by the nutritional experts behind those trials, and the only book rooted in their scientific research, The Sirtfood Diet gives you:- a Trade ReviewThe wonder foods that turbo-charge weight loss! * The Daily Mail *A non-faddy diet that offers incredible health benefits and weight loss. Aidan and Glen show how everyone can reap the benefits of the Sirtfood Diet through eating delicious food. I'm a huge fan! * Lorraine Pascale, BBC TV chef and food writer *I'm healthier, more alert and in top physical condition. Sirtfoods are key for me reaching new peaks in performance to face the upcoming challenge in British America's Cup history. * Sir Ben Ainslie, four-times Olympic gold medallist *Following Aidan and Glen's Sirtfood Diet was incredible; my body fat just melted away - I was sharper and had heaps more energy than before * Anthony Ogogo, 2015 Strictly Come Dancing star and professional boxer *A revelation to my diet: introducing Sirtfoods has allowed me to attain a body composition and wellbeing previously unimaginable * David Haye, Heavyweight Champion Boxer *People keep asking me my secret to looking great. The answer is Aidan and Glen's Sirtfood Diet. Since following it, I feel unstoppable. * Jodie Kidd, model and TV personality *Working with Aidan and Glen has revolutionised my nutritional approach beyond anything I have experienced in the past. Their knowledge and Sirtfood Diet is unrivalled, and was key for getting me into top shape and feeling and performing at my best for the 2015 Rugby World Cup. * James Haskell, International England Rugby star *The diet everyone's talking about...Over 7 days, I lose 6lb. My partner, who does it too, goes down two jeans sizes. It takes a couple of days to get used to, but it's a revelatory way to eat. I predict it is only a matter of months before a certain well-known sandwich chain starts flogging sirt shots - yoghurt-sized pots of strawberries, walnuts and chocolate flakes to sprinkle over porridge. We'll have sirt Thursdays and hold sirt suppers. Unlikely as it sounds, expect a run on kale * THE TIMES *We don't normally do weight-loss diets, not least because we know that, in the long term, most of them don't work. But we think The Sirtfood Diet is something different. This new way of eating has been devised by experts in medical nutrition with sound scientific backing. It also delivers real health benefits (and did we mention the chocolate and red wine?) * Good Housekeeping Magazine *I'm eating like a king these days thanks to the Sirtfood Diet * Conor McGregor, UFC World Champion *

    Book SynopsisThe best-selling book on heart disease, updated with the latest research and clinical findings on high-fat/ketogenic diets, sugar, genetics, and other factors. Heart disease is the #1 killer. However, traditional heart disease protocols—with their emphasis on lowering cholesterol—have it all wrong. Emerging science is showing that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat/high-carb diets and serious, side-effect-causing statin drugs, obscure the real causes of heart disease. Even doctors at leading institutions have been misled for years based on creative reporting of research results from pharmaceutical companies intent on supporting the $31-billion-a-year cholesterol-lowering drug industry.The Great Cholesterol Myth reveals the real culprits of heart disease, including: inflammation, fibrinogen, triglycerides, homocysteine, belly fat, triglyceride to HDL ratios, and high glycemic levels. Best-selling health authors Jonny Bowden, PhD, and Stephen Sinatra, MD, give readers a four-part strategy based on the latest studies and clinical findings for effectively preventing, managing, and reversing heart disease, focusing on diet, exercise, supplements, and stress and anger management. Myths vs. FactsMyth: High cholesterol is the cause of heart disease.Fact: Cholesterol is only a minor player in the cascade of inflammation which is a cause of heart disease.Myth: Saturated fat is dangerous.Fact: Saturated fats are not dangerous. The killer fats are the transfats from partially hydrogenated oils. ​Myth: The higher the cholesterol, the shorter the lifespan.Fact: Higher cholesterol protects you from gastrointestinal disease, pulmonary disease, and hemorrhagic stroke.Myth: High cholesterol is a predictor of heart attack.Fact: There is no correlation between cholesterol and heart attacks.Myth: Lowering cholesterol with statin drugs will prolong your life.Fact: There is no data to show that statins have a significant impact on longevity.Myth: Statin drugs are safe.Fact: Statin drugs can be extremely toxic including causing death.Myth: Statin drugs are useful in men, women, and the elderly.Fact: Statin drugs do the best job in middle-aged men with coronary disease.Myth: Statin drugs are useful in middle-aged men with coronary artery disease because of its impact on cholesterol.Fact: Statin drugs reduce inflammation and improve blood viscosity (thinning blood). Statins are extremely helpful in men with low HDL and coronary artery disease.Table of ContentsFOREWORD Chapter 1: Why a New Edition of This Book Was Needed PART ONE Chapter 2: Why You Should Be Skeptical of LDL as an Indicator of Heart Disease Chapter 3: Cholesterol Is Harmless Chapter 4: The Real Deal on Cholesterol Chapter 5: Inflammation and Oxidation PART TWO Chapter 6: Sugar: The Real Demon in the Diet Chapter 7: The Truth About Fat: It’s Not What You Think Chapter 8: The Statin Deception Chapter 9: The Real Cause of Heart Disease PART THREE Chapter 10: Beyond the Mediterranean Diet: What Do I Eat?

    Book SynopsisA holistic guide to improving your gut flora for better physical and emotional health • Explores the influence of the gut microbiome and the mesentery on all other bodily systems, especially the brain and immune system • Explains the central role of the digestive system in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine and how these systems treat the microbiome • Presents herbal remedies, acupuncture and acupressure techniques, and dietary methods to restore balance to your gut flora, including a microbiome reset In traditional medicine, such as Indian Ayurveda and Chinese medicine, the digestive system and microbiome are recognized as the foundation for good health. Our internal flora influences our immune system, brain function, hormonal balance, cravings, sleep, mood, inflammatory response, digestion, nutrient assimilation, and elimination. In this holistic guide to cultivating a healthy microbiome and managing gut health naturally, Bridgette Shea explores digestive functioning from the perspectives of both Western science and traditional medicine. She examines Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine principles on digestion and constitution types. She reveals how, in addition to describing what we now call the microbiome, traditional Chinese medicine also has long recognized the importance of an abdominal organ that modern science has only recently ­acknowledged: the mesentery, the tissues that connect and support the internal organs. Going beyond probiotics and prebiotics, the author presents practices from Ayurveda and Chinese medicine to reestablish balance in your internal microbiome, support the mesentery, improve digestion and elimination, and restore a clear mind and strong immune system. She explains how to read your symptoms, from brain fog and fatigue to congestion and stool quality, and offers herbal remedies, acupuncture and acupressure techniques, and dietary methods to improve your internal health, including a microbiome dietary reset. Revealing the diverse role that our inner microbial colonies play in keeping us happy and healthy, this book shows that by changing your microbiome, you can greatly improve your physical, emotional, and mental health.Trade Review“Finally! A book demonstrating how the ancient traditional medical systems of both China and India understood the importance of the gut microbiome. The ancients, along with Hippocrates, declared that all diseases begin in the gut. As part of both the digestive and immune systems, numerous health problems result once these delicate flora are disturbed: autoimmune diseases, food allergies, and cancer, to name a few. Reestablishing intestinal health should be the starting point for the treatment of any disease. The research cited throughout this book corroborates over and over what these ancient doctors described in their texts thousands of years ago. A must-read for anyone interested in getting to the root cause of all diseases.” * Marianne Teitelbaum, D.C., author of Healing the Thyroid with Ayurveda *“As a practitioner of Ayurveda and Chinese medicine, I loved how Bridgette wove these amazing systems of healing with our modern understanding of the microbiome. Cultivating Your Microbiome is a wealth of information and practices that will absolutely serve the seasoned health practitioner. Remarkably, it is also a book that can be read by anyone interested in improving their health and understanding the underlying principles of real well-being. Cultivating Your Microbiome is a must-read for all health practitioners and enthusiasts alike.” * Jonathan Glass, M.Ac, author of Total Life Cleanse *“A fascinating book on the microbiome! Cultivating Your Microbiome combines the recent Western scientific knowledge and the teaching of the several millennia-old Eastern medicines.” * Christopher Vasey, N.D., author of The Acid–Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health *“Cultivating Your Microbiome is an extraordinary and unreservedly recommended addition to community and college/university library Holistic Medicine collections and supplemental curriculum studies.” * Midwest Book Review *"Asian healing methods have always focused on the vital importance of the digestion system to overall health. This is an easy-to-understand book which stills feels challenging and cutting-edge." * Adam Gordon, Kindred Spirit Magazine *“Blending Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine concepts is never a simple task, but this book does a good job of presenting them mostly individually and adding a healthy dose of nutritional science as it explores the workings of digestive health. The author explains how the digestive tract and its microbiome are the seat of health or disease that influences the body-mind connection. Included are details on how digestion, assimilation, and elimination influence the immune system, hormonal function, brain, and inflammation from both scientific and traditional perspectives. It looks at not only what to eat, but how to eat, suggesting relaxing while eating and carefully chewing food with breakfast as the largest meal and dinner early.” * Kathi Keville, American Herb Association Quarterly *Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgments Introduction: The Fascinating World of Microbes PART I Modern Science Meets Ancient Wisdom 1 Everything but the Kitchen SinkExploring the Human Microbiome 2 The Kitchen Sink Digestion and the Gastrointestinal Microbiome 3 Quite Simply, Poop How It Looks, What It Means4 Making Connections Recognition of the Mesentery (Mo Yuan) and Interstitium (San Jiao) as Organs PART 2 Practices for Daily Living 5 Mind Your MicrobiomeThe True Meaning of Diet 6 Food for Vitalizing Mind and Body General Guidelines for Health 7 Change Your Life, Change Your Microbiome Restoring the Natural Intelligence of the Body 8 Dietary Reset Protocol Eastern Practices for Internal Balance Glossary Notes BibliographyIndex

    Book SynopsisNew York Times Bestseller Stop—and even reverse!—age-related weight gain and muscle loss with the first-ever weight-loss plan specifically designed to shrink your belly, extend your life, and create your healthiest self at mid-life and beyond.You don’t have to gain weight as you age. That’s the simple yet revolutionary promise of The Whole Body Reset, which uncovers why standard diet and exercise advice stops working for us as we approach midlife—and reveals how simple changes to the way we eat can halt, and even reverse, age-related weight gain and muscle loss. The Whole Body Reset presents stunning new evidence about the power of “protein timing” for people at midlife—research that blows away current government guidelines, refutes the myth of slowing metabolisms and “inevitable” weight gain, and changes the way people in their mid-forties and older should think about food. The Whole Body Reset explains in simple, inspiring terms exactly how our bodies change with age, and how eating to accommodate those changes can make us respond to exercise as if we were twenty to thirty years younger. Developed by AARP, tested by a panel of more than 100 AARP employees, and approved by an international board of doctors, nutritionists, and fitness experts, The Whole Body Reset doesn’t use diet phases, eating windows, calorie restriction, or other trendy gimmicks. Its six simple secrets and scores of recipes are easy to follow, designed for real people living in the real world. A dining guide even shows how to follow this program in popular restaurants from McDonald’s to Starbucks to Olive Garden. And best of all: It works!Trade Review“Our bodies change with age, and the way we eat needs to change in response. The Whole Body Reset is the first program written specifically for people at midlife who want to stay lean, active and strong for decades to come.” — Sanjay Gupta, MD, chief medical correspondent for CNN, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Keep Sharp, and associate professor of neurosurgery at Emory University School of Medicine “Gaining weight at midlife is common, but it’s not inevitable. The Whole Body Reset is a plan that can not only stop but even reverse age-related weight gain and muscle loss. The best part is that it’s simple, and it works!” — Ian Smith, MD, New York Times bestselling author of FAST Burn and former member of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition “Finally, a nutrition program I would recommend to family and friends in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. It’s new, crucial information that can change your life.” — Travis Stork, MD, Emmy-nominated former cohost of The Doctors and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Belly Prescription “As a weight-loss coach for nearly two decades, I couldn’t possibly be more excited about The Whole Body Reset! I’ve encountered a debilitated, ‘it’s-just-not-going-to-work-at-my-age’ mindset in middle aged+ clients more times than I can count. To FINALLY have a concrete resource full of sensible strategies that promote muscle gain and overall health, backed by scientific evidence, is a game changer.” — Devin Alexander, celebrity chef, weight loss coach, and New York Times bestselling author of The Biggest Loser Cookbook series “It is never too late to change your life, as long as you have smart, science-driven information at your fingertips. The Whole Body Reset is a breakthrough program that gives you the tools you need to turn back the clock and reclaim your physique, your health, and your life.” — Marco Borges, nutritionist, exercise physiologist, and founder of 22 Days Nutrition “In smart, easy-to-digest language, The Whole Body Reset explains how simple tweaks to our daily eating habits can make our bodies respond as though they are 20 or 30 years younger.” — Mark Hyman, MD, Pritzker Foundation Chair in Functional Medicine, Cleveland Clinic, and New York Times bestselling author of The Pegan Diet "As I approached 50, I noticed my body was changing. The Whole Body Reset explains how and why this happens, and what to do to get back into ideal physical shape." — Jorge Cruise, celebrity personal trainer, nutritionist, and New York Times bestselling author of The Belly Fat Cure “Finally, an easy-to-follow plan that means getting older can be the best time of your life. Thank you Stephen and Heidi for turning me on to protein timing!” — Meredith Viera, journalist and former host of Today and The View
