Book SynopsisSECOND EDITION, REVISED AND EXPANDED “Provacative and exciting… [it] deserves a prominent place in the library of anyone serious about self health care." –Vitality magazine Don't bother looking in the history books for what has killed the most Americans. Look instead at our dinner tables. We eat too much of the wrong foods and not enough of the right foods. Scientific research continually indicates nationwide vitamin and mineral deficiencies in our country, and we spend nearly three trillion dollars each year on disease care. Is it any surprise that doctors consistently place among the highest incomes? Andrew Saul has seen enough of this situation, and in Doctor Yourself, he gives you the power you need to change it. Citing abundant scientific evidence as well as case studies from his decades of practice, Dr. Saul explodes the myth that an army of medical specialists and pharmaceutical drugs is necessary to maintain health. The human body evolved to live well and fight off disease on a supply of only a couple of dozen essential nutrients. Unfortunately, modern diets provide catastrophically inadequate levels of those nutrients. Using the guidelines set out in Doctor Yourself, you can not only prevent disease from getting a foothold in the first place, but also cure yourself of illnesses already in progress without resorting to drugs and surgery. One of the most popular guides to nutritional therapy ever published, Doctor Yourself is now updated and expanded with the latest research and additional topics, providing proven methods for combating an even wider variety of health conditions. Whether he is delivering commonsense tips on subjects such as weight loss and longevity or praising the healthy glow of a carotene tan, Dr. Saul takes the starch out of healthcare and makes taking charge of your family's health a fun and valuable experience.Trade Review"Andrew Saul is the leader in showing us that supplements are essentially harmless, causing no deaths at all." —Dr. Joseph Mercola "What a superb book Doctor Yourself is for both the health professions and anyone interested in maintaining a better level of health. I applaud the work, especially its forthright manner of presentation. It should be of enormous value to a vast number of people." —Hugh D. Riordan, M.D. "Doctor Yourself provides details on natural options that are supported by both research studies and clinical experience. Andrew Saul's lively, often irreverent writing style and keen sense of humor sets the book apart." —Feingold Association of the United States "I had been a practicing pediatric gastroenterologist for 25 years. After reading Doctor Yourself by Dr. Andrew Saul, I have become a very angry man. I've just realized that for 25 years I had been making my patients sick and big pharma rich. I only wish that all my critically ill patients had read Dr. Saul's book and fired their doctor. Copies of the book will be in the waiting room for all to read. In the names of all those I didn't help before, I hope this time to make a difference." —Edward Cichowicz, M.D. "Read Linus Pauling for a detailed explanation of how and why the chemistry works; read Andrew Saul for a lighter and more anecdotal approach, well-supported by research, that integrates the whole diet with megavitamin therapy." —UnconventionalWoman.com "Up to date, well put, easy to follow,and if followed, will help readers enhance their degree of health and decrease the possibility of developing serious disease." —Abram Hoffer, M.D., PhD. "Expertly written. Doctor Yourself is a very helpful guidebook which is filled from cover to cover with gems of information that aren't usually discussed in most other nutrition books." —Midwest Book Review

Book Synopsis Change your daily routine, transform your health.Circadian rhythms are biological processes or clocks that exist in each one of our cells. Programmed to turn genes on or off at different times of the day or night, they influence every aspect of our health from weight and energy levels through to resistance to disease and infection, and how well we sleep.Now, in The Circadian Code, this new science is revealed, showing that the timings of our day (when we eat, sleep, exercise, work) are more crucial than we ever thought before.

I highly recommend this program. * Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, author of The 4 Pillar Plan and How to Make Disease Disappear *One of the essential factors to ensure longevity is to align your life with your body's circadian rhythms.

Book SynopsisThe New York Times Bestseller_____________For decades, the diet wars have pitted advocates for the low-carb, high-fat paleo diet against advocates of the exclusively plant-based vegan diet and dozens of other diets leaving most of us bewildered and confused. For those of us on the sidelines, trying to figure out which approach is best has been nearly impossible - both extreme diets have unique benefits and drawbacks. But how can it be, we've asked desperately, that our only options are bacon and butter three times a day or endless kale salads? How do we eat to reverse disease, optimal health, longevity and performance. How do we eat to reverse climate change? There must be a better way!Fortunately, there is. With The Pegan Diet, a food is medicine approach, Mark Hyman explains how to take the best aspects of the paleo diet (good fats, limited refined carbs, limited sugar) and combine them with the vegan diet (lots and lots of fresh, healthy veggies) to create a delicious diet that is not only good for your brain and your body, but also good for the planet.Featuring 30 recipes, and plenty of infographics illustrating the concepts, The Pegan Diet offers a balanced and easy-to-follow approach to eating that will help you get, and stay, fit, healthy, focused, and happy - for life.'Now, more than ever, we need to utilize the power of food to help our society overcome the epidemic of chronic disease. The Pegan Diet offers an easy-to-implement solution for anyone to get started on their health journey using 21 basic principles that show how we can use food as medicine.' Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO, Thrive GlobalTrade ReviewIf you are tired of the diet wars that pit one trend against another, you'll be overjoyed at The Pegan Diet, Mark Hyman's latest masterpiece on food and health. In it, you'll learn how to combine the best of the paleo and vegan diets to prevent disease, heal the body, and soothe the soul. This book is a true roadmap for anyone who wants to apply the food as medicine approach to their health. -- Dr William W. Li, author of Eat to Beat DiseaseRead this book right now to learn how to use food as medicine. Dr Mark Hyman has the rare ability to show you how to eat in order to feel better while also fixing our food system from the ground up! -- Dave Asprey, author of The Bulletproof DietNow, more than ever, we need to utilize the power of food to help our society overcome the epidemic of chronic disease. The Pegan Diet offers an easy-to-implement solution for anyone to get started on their health journey using 21 basic principles that show how we can use food as medicine. -- Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO, Thrive GlobalIf you want to eat for longevity, brain health and gut health, this is the book for you. Dr Hyman will show you how what you put on your fork three times a day is the most powerful tool you have to transform your health and the health of our planet. -- Eva MendesOne of Dr Hyman's greatest attributes is the ability to change his mind and advice when new evidence and studies prompt course corrections in his recommendations. This humble and laudable ability is on display in The Pegan Diet, where hard and fast 'rules' give way to savvy, doable guidelines for achieving optimal short and long-term health. If great eating advice, without the 'my way or the highway' philosophy, is what you seek, buy this book! -- Dr Steven R. Gundry, author of The Plant ParadoxThe line between medicine and food is thinner than people think. Both go into the body, where they affect the overall health of the organism. Mark Hyman understands that, and wants to make sure that you do, too. His new book combines aspects of other diets you may have heard of, paleo and vegan, to develop a new way of living and eating. I prescribe this book! -- QuestloveDr Hyman has done it again. By framing food as medicine, The Pegan Diet takes an innovative and important approach to wellness.

Book SynopsisVegan or carnivore? Vegetarian or gluten-free? Keto or Mediterranean? Fasting or Paleo? Our relationship to food is filled with confusion and insecurity. Every day we hear about a new ingredient that is good or bad, a new diet that promises everything. But the truth is that none of those labels matter. The secret to becoming healthier, losing weight, living a pain-free and energetic life and healing the planet has nothing to do with counting calories, reducing portion sizes or feeling deprived - the key is re-learning how to eat like a human.This means finding food that is as nutrient-dense as possible, and preparing that food using methods that release those nutrients and make them safe and bioavailable to our bodies, which is exactly what allowed our ancestors, millions of years ago, to not only live but thrive. Archaeologist and primitive technologist Dr Bill Schindler draws on cutting-edge science and a lifetime of research to show readers how to live like modern 'hunter-gatherers' by using the same strategies our ancestors used - as well as techniques still practiced by many cultures around the world - to make food as safe, nutritious, bioavailable and delicious as possible.With each chapter dedicated to a specific food group, in-depth explanations of different foods and cooking techniques and concrete takeaways, as well as 75+ recipes, Eat Like a Human will permanently change the way you think about food, and help you live a happier, healthier, and more connected life.Trade ReviewIf you are confused about what to eat, tossed about in the storm of conflicting dietary advice, Eat Like a Human provides a refreshing, unique perspective on the origins of the human diet, and how to design and prepare a varied inclusive diet of nutrient dense foods, often wild and weird, that extracts the most nutritional benefit through ancient cooking methods (and often ancient foods ignored today - insects anyone?). If you want to learn to be in right relationship to your body, nature and food, read this book!Dr Bill Schindler is at the forefront of a small handful of intrepid researchers who have taken the deep insights of evolutionary science and wedded them to the practical (and critical) process of feeding ourselves, our families, and communities. Eat Like a Human is not "cave man reenactment" - it is a science-based approach to truly nourishing the human body, mind, and spirit.From Samburu warriors in Africa drinking blood milkshakes, to highlanders in Peru dipping potatoes in a sauce made of clay, Eat Like a Human takes you on a fascinating journey of culinary traditions around the world. Dr Schindler explains why food preparation techniques are critical for obtaining the best possible nourishment for our food while providing delicious recipes acceptable to western palates. Eat Like a Human is a delightful read that serves as a practical road map to healthy eating.Eat Like a Human will awake your latent hunter-gatherer. Dr Schindler shares his intriguing journey from 'hard core obsessive' to the realization that food is more than nutrition - it's also a cultural experience that is invaluable to our health and happiness. A lifetime of discovery and invaluable forgotten skills between two covers.Dr Bill Schindler dives into ancestral foodways, into the archeology of food, in order to draw a better future for our health as well as the health of our planet. He doesn't just preach the change in our eating behaviour, he uses the world's simplest argument - eat like a human - to understand our DNA, our metabolic functions, and the evolution of our species in order to design a better, tastier, healthier and more egalitarian future.Archaeology too often fails to explore what our ancestors ate, overlooking the most fundamental part of the story of human evolution. This adventure-rich masterpiece explores living guardians of ancient culinary wisdom, filling a much needed void that prods at the status quo of nutrition in a quietly powerful way.Anthropologist Dr Bill Schindler offers sage eating advice and recipes from our ancestors. He encourages us to consider the cultural context of our consumption from surprising perspectives, with stories from his extensive travels to learn from indigenous peoples and their traditional diets. Bill invites us to eat dirt, not our greens; to reconsider nutrient-dense offal; and not to drink the USDA-recommended three glasses of milk a day, but to turn them into cheese instead!Eat Like a Human had me on the edge of my seat from the first paragraph till the very end. In a world of processed food, deceptive marketing, and fad diets, this book is a true guide for living and eating! A powerful read and a wealth of invaluable knowledge from Dr Bill Schindler.Since being in the food industry for more than forty years and owning a culinary school for twenty-five, few people have made such an impact on my philosophy of eating as Dr Bill Schindler. With his vast knowledge, he describes our nutritive past as humans. Through his huge charisma, he tells us what paths we can follow for the future, leaving the choice to us. * John Nocita, president, Italian Culinary Institute *
