Book SynopsisA 66-day plan for going sugar-free from an eating disorder specialist and therapist who broke free of her own sugar addiction.Our relationship with food can be complicated: for many, food soothes painful emotions, it nurtures, it numbs, it provides a 'high'. Breaking Up With Sugar offers a plan for the complete transformation of many people's destructive relationship with food.

During his 4-Week Flexible Fasting Plan, Dr Cole will guide you through varying intermittent fasting windows, with each week of the plan tailored to focus on a different aspect of your health. He demonstrates the most effective ways to fast and eat to amplify the health benefits of intermittent fasting, balancing rest and repair with nutrient dense, delicious foods. By the end of the four weeks, you will have all the tools necessary to:- Reset your body- Recharge your metabolism- Renew your cells- Rebalance your hormonesAlong with more than 65 recipes, you'll find a maintenance plan, so you can adapt fasting and feeding windows to work sustainably with your lifestyle.'If you're looking for a way to recalibrate your body's hunger signals, rebalance your cravings, and comfortably and safely learn how to fast, Intuitive Fasting is a must-read.'

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.

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.

Book SynopsisThe Paleo craze has taken over the world. It asks curious dieters to look back to their ancestors' eating habits to discover a "new" way to eat that shuns grains, most dairy, and processed foods. But, while diet books with Paleo in the title sell well--are they correct? Were paleolithic and ancestral diets really grain-free, low-carb, and based on all lean meat?In NOURISHING DIETS bestselling author Sally Fallon Morell explores the diets of our primitive ancestors from around the world--from Australian Aborigines to pre-industrialized Europeans. In looking to the past, Fallon Morell debunks common Paleo diet myths and points readers to what they should actually be eating--the key principles of traditional diets from across cultures: nutrient dense animal fats, carefully prepared grains and legumes, organ meats, carbohydrates like yams and cassava, bone broth, salt, and lacto-fermented foods rich in enzymes and beneficial bacteria. NOURISHING DIETS begins with a discussion of the basic principles found in ancestral diets and then takes the reader on a fascinating world tour to explore primitive food practices and beliefs. Each chapter will include recipes that make ancestral principles available to food lovers in modern kitchens.

Discover how to eliminate bad habits that can impair energy production and improve your overall energy and health with the groundbreaking methods in Bursting with Energy, now updated and revised in this second edition.Maintaining energy production is the key to functioning at a youthful level as we get older. Our cells extract energy from oxygen, but as we age, they become less efficient at performing this extraction. As a result, we develop the symptoms of aging: weakness, pain, disease, muscle wasting, and immune dysfunction. Energy production can be repaired and optimized so you can live long and strong, avoid disease, and add quality years to your life. Dr. Shallenberger developed and patented Bio-Energy Testing®, the first and only method to clinically measure how well our cells are extracting energy from oxygen. In Bursting with Energy, he reveals how you can measure and optimize your cellular energy production. While most solutions are designed to help ease the symptoms of aging, Dr. Shallenberger's unique approach allows you to slow down the process and prevent disease, keeping your energy production high at any age. Trade Review“Bursting with Energy is a very pleasant read and reveals many of the miracles of nature that bring us happiness, health, and longevity . . .

Everyone should have an understanding of the principles in Bursting with Energy.” —Michael Gerber, MD, HMD, president of the Nevada Homeopathic and Integrative Medical Association and columnist for Townsend Letter“Bursting with Energy is a must read for anyone suffering from any chronic illness that has been poorly managed, anyone struggling to lose weight, or those who are healthy looking to stay healthy or improve their performance . . . This book will change your life and teach you how to take care of yourself.” —Nathan S. Bryan, PhD, author of Functional Nitric Oxide Nutrition: Dietary Strategies to Prevent and Treat Chronic Disease“This book could change your life. If you apply it, it will. This book can help you understand your own body and how it works and more importantly, how to beat aging at its core. For aging is the loss of mitochondrial function. When you know how to improve that, you have the key to longer and better health.” —David Minkoff, MD, author of The Search for the Perfect Protein“Far too often I hear a frustrated patient confide to me: 'My doctor is a very nice man. I like him a lot. He likes me a lot,' but the patient is not getting better! The care is unacceptable! Of course, it is nice if your doctor is nice, but why not work with an effective doctor? Well, Dr. Shallenberger is very nice but more importantly, he is very, very effective. Is your battery low? Are you ready to recharge? Dive into these pages and benefit from tomorrow’s medicine today!” —Bradford S. Weeks, MD, founder of The Weeks Center for Corrective Health“Longevity without health is a long tiresome journey.

If you are tired of being tired and you want to burst with energy, this is the book for you.” —Phil Mollica, MS, DMD, NMD, author and speaker“Dr. Shallenberger has essentially assembled a manual for good health. Everyone would be better off reading it. I especially like the emphasis on proper hormone replacement, as so many other wonderful health remedies are significantly negated by failing to address chronic sex and thyroid hormone deficiencies.” —Thomas E.

Book SynopsisEat Nourish Flourish is a 12 step plan and recipe book to enable you and your family to establish a healthy, sustainable relationship with the food you eat. It features 60 recipes which are not only healthy, hearty and delicious but they are also all simple-to-make, which is so important when you are trying to change the habits of the whole family. Written by food coach and mother of three Carey Davis-Munro, she knows only too well that for positive change to be sustainable, gain the support of your loved ones, and have a long-lasting impact, it needs to be a process. You'll need to bring your family along with you, throughout the education, the understanding, the planning, the cooking, and - of course - the passion. And that's where Eat Nourish Flourish comes in. There are many complex psychological reasons as to why we don't invest the time, energy, and money in healthy eating, so Carey primarily focuses on changing the relationship you have with food for the better. Alongside the 12 step plan, Carey has also created 60 flexitarian recipes which once you have restocked your food cupboard, are all simple to make whether it's a quick midweek tea, breakfast-on-the-go or a fully fledged evening meal. Standout dishes include Butternut Squash and Porcini Risotto, Aubergine Rogan Josh, Butternut Aloo and Raita and Baked Salmon Steaks with Ginger, Lime, Chilli and Tamari. Snacks and sweet treats include Crispy Chickpeas and Healthy Millionaires while there are also plenty of soups, salads and sides to choose from too. But this is so much more than a recipe book. It's about empowering you to make positive changes that will last and, ultimately, giving you and your family all the tools you need to live a long and healthy life.Trade Review"This book I think is going to be a game changer; from the minute I read it it gave me real ‘food for thought’ in every sense of the word! It explains and asks questions, gives you delicious recipes, and helps you really put the whole picture together. It’s both relevant and helpful and has recipe photos that ooze off the page!" - Emma Forbes, radio and television presenter As a new father, athlete and wellbeing advocate, I recognised long ago that food is key to performance at any level and health on all levels. It is not always easy, however, to break bad habits, or understand about the right foods to eat when we are bombarded with skewed marketing and supermarket shelves filled with products that offer very little nutrition. What Carey has done in this book is to skilfully combine her craft of coaching with the lessons from her personal food journey to offer those wishing to upgrade their choices and habits an invaluable tool to do so themselves. So much more than a recipe book, with some fabulous ideas for meals, snacks and healthier substitutes, Carey invites us all to examine our relationship with food, which is fundamental to longevity and quality of life. This is very much a book for NOW, when we should all be prioritising our physical and mental health and looking to our gut to provide us with immunity.- Leon Taylor, BBC commentator, mentor and wellbeing advocate ( Headspace trainer)
