Health & Wellbeing Books

Book SynopsisThere is a biological force within the body that wants you to live to old age. While conventionally this force is known in medicine as the immune system, Dr. Bob calls it: “The Biological Soul.” The Biological Soul is designed to protect you and allow you to live a healthy life. This force is tangible, measurable, lives within the physical body and determines our age and wellbeing through life. It is physical and complex and, in many ways, spiritual. It is affected by life’s stresses, by diets, and by overall health and though not immortal; it both shapes your life and your life shapes it. IMMUNITY STRONG walks readers through how the immune system works, what makes it implode or keeps it safe and what modern science reveals about how it connects to every part of the body to keep it alive—as the seat of our “Biological Soul.” Written in Dr. Bob’s trade-mark down-to earth style, the book explains that the normal immune system functions like a police department protecting the body from harm. While as a nation we have recently been focused on the effects of infections, the book reveals that it is important to note that disorders of immunity are at the root of most diseases that shorten or impact our lives. From chronic pain and fatigue syndromes, heart disease and clogged arteries and even the ability to recognize and destroy cancer, to multiple sclerosis, lupus, celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune disorders are all linked to one or another glitch in the immune system. The purpose of this book is to provide significant information on the incredible complexity of the immune system and how the integration of spiritual, scientific, and emotional values can enhance health. It is Dr. Bob’s hope that readers will find a new appreciation of the miracle that is the physical body and to understand the potential within our Biological Soul to promote longevity and overall happiness to life. IMMUNITY STRONG: Boost Your Body's Natural Healing Power and Live to 100 is a must-read for anyone wishing to nurture and enhance their health. Trade ReviewPraise for IMMUNITY STRONG: Boost Your Natural Healing Power and Live to 100 by Robert G. "DR. BOB" Lahita, M.D., Ph.D. “IMMUNITY STRONG is written with simplicity about viruses, vaccines, immunity, and spirituality. It’s a magic prescription to living beyond 100 — and lots less expensive than a visit to your MD’s office.” — Cindy Adams, New York Post Columnist and Host of WABC Radio’s Cindy Adams Show “In clear, easily accessible language, Dr. Bob has taken us on a wonderfully comprehensive journey through the biology he has spent his life investigating. A must read for all patients, but particularly those who struggle with autoimmune maladies for a substantial part of their lives.” — Marianne J. Legato, M.D., Ph.D., Emerita Professor of Clinical Medicine, Columbia University Adjunct Professor, Johns Hopkins “A delightfully written compilation of the latest concepts in immunology, with sound and thoughtful information about what is known and what is unknown. It should be read by anyone wishing to know the foundation for many of the recommendations for our better health, which is so critical nowadays.“ — Richard Bucala, M.D., Ph.D., Chief of Rheumatology, Allergy & Immunology, Yale University “Dr. Bob’s analogies make IMMUNITY STRONG very approachable, understandable, and fun to read! I will definitely recommend it to my patients.” — Steven M. Lomazow, M.D., Assistant Professor, Icahn School of Medicine, Mt. Sinai “Dr. Bob has crafted a book for our times; it’s a tool to help everyone whether they just want the aging process to go smoothly, are a chronic illness sufferer, or are a person more of their aware of their need for a strong immune system due to the COVID pandemic.” — Nika C. Beamon, Author of Misdiagnosed: The Search for Dr. House “IMMUNITY STRONG presents a phenomenal and exemplary description on boosting our immunity, linking the immune response to realistic social and behavioral psychology and how to overcome the stressful environment that many of us are facing almost on a daily basis. In an easy-to-understand conversational format the book presents a model therapy to deal with stressful situations.” — Subhash Dhawan, Ph.D., Retired Senior FDA Research & Regulatory Scientist"Plato notwithstanding, others throughout history have wondered about the origins and power of spirituality, prayer, introspection, and morality, questioning their physiologic basis and how they shape human behavior. Plausible insights are now provided in IMMUNITY STRONG, a lively and believable work by ‘Dr. Bob’ Lahita. In just 219 easily-read pages, Dr. Bob elucidates for the inquisitive reader how the immune system responds to threats to the body’s homeostasis, the possible role of biome communities to influence behavior, and the importance of sleep and stress modification for the maintenance of optimum immune function. Although written for a lay audience, this book may be enjoyed by medical professionals who can learn more effective ways to communicate otherwise complex scientific matters to their inquiring patients. The author’s language is lucid, readily understandable, and unencumbered by distracting footnotes and parenthetical citations. This book is highly recommended for its explications, elucidations, and clarity. Besides, it is delightful to read." — Alan J.

Book SynopsisThe companion book to Dr. David Brownstein’s Heal Your Leaky Gut: The Hidden Cause of Many Chronic Diseases. 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! HEAL YOUR LEAKY GUT DIET AND MEAL PLAN provides a wealth of practical information to help readers lead a healthier lifestyle to pre-vent and manage leaky gut syndrome. The book includes shopping lists, nutritional information, eating plans and menus, as well as easy-to-follow, delicious recipes and exercises that anyone can follow. Your journey back to health through diet and proper nutrition can happen in just eight weeks!Table of ContentsOUTLINE for HEAL YOUR LEAKY GUT DIET AND MEAL PLAN: A 4-Week Detox Program to Improve Digestive Health by David Brownstein, M.D. and Jodie Gould INTRODUCTION Dr. Brownstein will reintroduce himself to readers and explain why the Leaky Gut Diet and Meal Plan will help heal their gut conditions. 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 4: Get Motivated (Go with Your Gut!) Motivational tips for starting and staying on the diet/plan. Also, what to do if readers fall off the wagon. 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. Studies show that keeping a food journal helps people become more aware of their choices and can encourage them to be more mindful of not only what they are eating, but also help identify certain triggers of unhealthy eating. Is Yogurt Really Healthy? Depends. The Truth About Flavored Yogurt (e.g., sugar, corn syrup additives, over processing.) Read the Label. How to decipher the nutrition info for calories, nutrients, additives, etc) Should include advertising buzzwords like “natural” and “healthy.” Also, the truth about sell-by dates. Exercise Tips.

Book SynopsisEvery day, police deception tactics fool millions of Americans into giving evidence they don’t have to give, leading to their arrest and conviction in court because they don’t know when and how to take advantage of their absolute constitutional right to remain silent.

A Toast to Silence focuses on the right time before the Miranda warning to remain silent and not take tests and on the exact word-for-word lies the police cleverly disguise as truths to make people give up evidence—and shows you exactly when and how to use the power of silence to overcome these deceptive tactics for success in court.Table of ContentsPreface PART 1 The Culture of Deception PART II The Great American Con Job PART III A Nation of Talkaholics Who Lose in Court PART IV Leveling the Playing Field Summation About the Author

It also serves as a handbook on growth. Definitely a must read for any up and coming professional or anyone looking for personal growth. – Hovain, President of Cinematic Management, Hip Hop music executive manager Growth is a natural part of life between the ages of birth and adulthood, as human beings typically get bigger, stronger, smarter, and more functional with age. This growth is unintentional and requires little to no effort—but at some point, that growth stops, and an individual’s progress is then limited to whether or not they are actively seeking future development.The Growth Trap addresses a condition that Ralph DiBugnara has dealt with throughout his life—personally, professional, and directly with his brand. After seasons of stagnated growth, he’s learned the necessity of intentionally pursuing progress, rather than expecting goals to be accomplished without effort. Ralph explains how many get caught in a growth trap when they deem progress and change to be too much of a challenge. These individuals like to talk, reminisce, and ultimately identify with their “past selves,” because it’s easier than facing who they are now. And while it’s better to pursue growth and work towards the accomplishment of one’s goal, that doesn’t mean that it’s possible to avoid all growth traps along the way. Ralph DiBugnara’s The Growth Trap is an essential resource for those looking to achieve their goals and avoid pitfalls that will hinder their progress. He shares his personal experiences—as well as the strategies he learned along the way—so that readers can grow their brands and businesses while becoming true disruptors in every aspect of their lives.Trade ReviewThis book is like a how-to manual on how to avoid the traps in life personal and professional.
