Book SynopsisTrade Review“Healing the Prostate is every man’s must-read. It’s also a riveting book for women concerned about the health ofthe men in their lives too. Many men eventually need their prostate radiated, medicated, or operated on for various conditions, many of which could have been partially prevented. As an added perk, the science-based self-help tools in this healthy prostate plan will help keep many other organs healthy. I highly recommend this book!”— William Sears, M.D., author of The Healthy Brain Book“This is an easy-to-read, informative book covering the most recent research and treatments for the prostate and male genitourinary health. Dr. Stengler shares his clinical experience and case histories, and outlines practical diet and lifestyle recommendations, making the book relevant and useful for both the clinician and layperson. It is refreshing to see the inclusion of new perspectives for male health and a chapter dedicated to the bladder as a primary cause of male LUTS.”— Tracey Seipel, N.D., founder of Seipel Group, a nutraceutical company that pioneered the natural urological health category“Dr. Stengler has provided critical information that all men and their doctors need to know, especially men who are dealing with prostate or bladder disorders. The book is extremely well referenced, is easy to read, and gives valuable information about both conventional and integrative approaches to these very common problems.”— Frank Shallenberger, M.D., founder of The Nevada Center of Alternative and Anti-Aging Medicine“I am a big fan of Dr. Mark Stengler because he produces results. His program for the prostate is 100% on target. Every man needs to read this book and follow his expert guidance to optimal health.”— Michael T. Murray, N.D., author of The Longevity Matrix“All men should become knowledgeable about prostate health because virtually all men will experience prostate health problems at some time in their lives. Unfortunately, many urologists recommend only traditional medical treatments for prostate health issues. Dr. Mark Stengler’s book Healing the Prostate provides men with a comprehensive overview of both conventional and holistic therapies for all issues related to prostate health. From erectile dysfunction and testosterone to BPH and prostate cancer therapies, Healing the Prostate is an educational book that I am happy to recommend to all men.”— Ross Pelton, RPh, CCN, The Natural Pharmacist“The numbers don’t lie: 50 percent of all men will require treatment for symptoms of prostate enlargement, and 10 percent of men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetimes. Dr. Stengler has brought a commonsense approach to prostate health in his new book, Healing the Prostate. Most of us would want to make meaningful changes in our daily routine if we thought it would decrease our risk of developing disease. Dr. Stengler gives a very concise and easily readable ‘blueprint’ on how to make those changes.”— Carl Walker, M.D., board-certified urologist

Book SynopsisThis is a black and white edition of the original book. Man v Fat is a practical and supportive resource for men, written by a normal bloke who just wanted to lose some weight. One day Andrew Shanahan took a guttie to text to a mate. But once he had taken the photo, he couldn''t stop looking at it. He realised how unhappy he was about his body and resolved to change it. However he soon learned that the dieting industry had turned its back on men. Men were expected to get fit, tone up and turn fat into a six-pack in six weeks. There was nothing for men who simply wanted to lose their beer belly, play football again and feel more confident. So Andrew decided to do something about this.In Man v Fat, Andrew Shanahan will give you everything you need to know in order to lose weight, breaking it down into three essential components:Stage 1: Understand why you got fatStage 2: Learn how to lose weightStage 3: Create a winniTrade ReviewMen need more encouragement and support with weight loss than they currently get. MAN v FAT is a really good step towards that becoming a reality and the Men's Health Forum is happy to support their work * Men's Health Forum *The commitment of those behind MAN v FAT to take an evidence-based nutritional and exercise approach to weight loss is admirable. -- Terry Jones, Director of Communication * Food and Drink Federation *"Weight and obesity issues are the biggest public health crisis in the world that we have a chance of doing something about.

They then move on to cover various problems, including erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, cancer, testosterone deficiency, STDs, and how they can be treated.How's It Hanging? will help men make informed decisions about their medical care. Instead of suffering in silence, they will be more likely to discuss these issues with their friends and family and seek help when needed. And they will be better patients, able to communicate with their physicians about what's going on "down there."Trade Review“Throughout my career I’ve been around adult men in competitive environments and I know first-hand that there is often little attention given to their own health.

Book Synopsis"This book is a great asset to all men who need to make their own health a priority." --Joe Gibbs, NFL Hall of Fame coach and owner of 4x NASCAR champion Joe Gibbs Racing Everything you need to know about men’s health in one handy package—updated, revised, and expanded. The authors’ first edition (2018) concentrated on the male pelvis and health concerns “down there.” Urologists Neil Baum and Scott Miller described the male pelvic region and its complex functions before moving on to a comprehensive list of related medical concerns, including pelvic pain, prostate problems, urinary leakage, urinary tract infections, testosterone deficiency, STDs, prostate cancer, and questions about infertility and sexual dysfunction. Both authors approached these very personal and sensitive topics with straightforward, reader-friendly language, using case examples, illustrations, research, and occasional humor to explain the potential causes and cures for each medical challenge. Five years later, the authorship has been doubled to include one more urologist, David Mobley, and a Doctor of Pharmacy, Mindi Miller. With this expanded team of experts, the goal is to provide men with health information—not only from prostate to penis—but from head to toe. Nine totally new chapters address a wide range of topics that altogether equip the reader with key information to assess and improve his mental, physical, and emotional health. The authors even provide step-by-step processes to use when selecting a doctor or surgeon, and what signs might indicate that a doctor’s visit is a must. Men’s Complete Health Guide means that men no longer need to suffer in silence or dwell in denial. This valuable resource enables every man to become his own health advocate, more likely to discuss body concerns with family or friends, and more open to seeking a doctor’s advice for remedy.

Book SynopsisEarly in his career, actor Courtney B. Vance lost his father to suicide. Recently, he lost his godson to the same fate. Still, as mental health discourse hits the mainstream, it leaves the most vulnerable out of the conversation: Black men.In America, we teach that strength means holding back tears and shaming your own feelings. In the Black community, these pressures are especially poignant. Poor mental health outcomes-- including diagnoses of depression and anxiety, reliance on prescription drugs, and suicide-- have skyrocketed in the past decade.

Vance seeks to change this trajectory. Along with professional expertise from famed psychologist Dr. Robin Smith (popularly known as "Dr. Robin"), Courtney B. Vance explores issues of grief, relationships, identity, and race through the telling of his own most formative experiences.

Book SynopsisAs a man ages, a slow decline takes root that, day to day, is imperceptible. Sometime around age 30, levels of the male hormone testosterone begin to drop each year. One morning he looks in the mirror and sees someone who he doesn't recognize. He's tired-looking, lacks motivation, his belly is sagging over his belt, his mind is foggy and maybe even his sex drive has evaporated. What happened? "Oh, you're just getting older," people tell him - even his doctor!Endocrinologist Florence Comite, MD, doesn't believe we should accept aging as is. She believes any man can restore his body, mind, and energy; prevent disease; and feel strong, confident, and in control once again. Keep It Up will show you how to quantify your own health and then make key changes that will reduce your belly fat and risk of diabetes, revitalize your sex drive and strengthen your erections, and give you more muscle and greater mental agility. Because testosterone affects all of the above aspects of a man's vitality, Dr. Comite shows readers how the cutting edge science of hormone optimization is an effective way to prevent the disorders of aging. "Testosterone optimization can absolutely change a man's life," Dr. Comite says. It can reduce fat, build lean muscle and reverse disease but the most important benefit, she says, "is the feeling of being 'recharged'-feeling more focused, more vigorous, more masculine, more alive."Key chapters in Keep It Up include: - The Metabolic Tests- The Hormone Tests- The Sleep and Stress Connection- Great Sex, Your Second Act- Building a High-Performance Body- The Truth about Hormone Therapies- Advanced Diagnostics- The Future of Medicine, Today

Book SynopsisEvolutionary Lifestyle Fitness Strategies for All #1 New Release in Physical Education and Stretching Exercise & FitnessAdaptive Training explores an alternate perspective on health and fitness focusing on how we are a product of the environment. So change your surroundings to maximize your health and fitness beyond the gym.Explore your amazingly adaptable body. Tight hip flexors, rounded shoulders and a hunched back are all products of our daily lifestyles. We are adaptoids; our bodies are designed to adapt to our surroundings, and understanding this is the key to unlocking perfect performance. Adaptive Training takes you through the fundamentals of understanding adaptive training while providing a detailed physical fitness program to help you build an environment that facilitates a healthy and empowering new lifestyle fitness journey with new lifestyle fitness equipment.Unlock your true potential. The best way to learn a language is through immersion, and the same is true for developing and maintaining a new lifestyle fitness. A few hours a week training at the gym or elsewhere is great, but what if your environment outside of the gym is also challenging your body? You will see results that are only possible through the innovative fitness method called “Adam” which stands for Adaptive Immersion Training. Change your environment with intent, and your body will adapt with amazing results.Inside, you’ll learn: How the environment shapes your body to be adaptive How and why you should divide training throughout the day The missing fundamentals of human movement and lifestyle fitness equipment If you liked Built from Broken, The Comfort Crisis, or What Doesn’t Kill You, you’ll love Adaptive Training.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Your Amazing, Adaptable Body This will be a motivational section that discusses the amazing human body but specifically its ability to adapt and change. Chapter 2: How The Things You Do Everyday Shape Your Health and Fitness This will demonstrate that your job/hobbies/lifestyle are more instrumental in shaping your physique than an hour spent in the gym. It will thus discuss Chapter 3: Train Outdoors! This post will explain the HUGE and immediate benefits of moving your training outside. Simple example: every pull up from a tree branch is different from the last, engaging the grip differently, altering the heights of the hands, etc. etc. This chapter will also discuss the practicalities of such training (how to manage progressive overload, where to do it, what to do if it rains), plus the risk of training ONLY in chaotic environments and how to marry the benefits of both types of training. Chapter 4: The Missing Fundamentals of Human Movement Our modern lifestyles introduce a number of issues and rob us of some basic abilities: pelvis control, spine mobility, shoulder mobility, core strength, scapula control, straight-arm strength. This post will explore the precise missing attributes in the context of the ATSP hierarchy discussed in the previous book. Chapter 5: “SuperExercises” This chapter will introduce exercises specifically intended to remedy the above problem. The term “SuperExercise” is inspired by “SuperFood.” The idea is that these exercises either provide multiple benefits in one go, or they address a missing fundamental. Chapter 6: Don’t Let the Environment Change You: Change the Environment This chapter starts with a more in-depth exploration of the idea of the “Adaptation Facilitation Machine.” This is a building designed to challenge the body as we move through it. It’s only theoretical, but a fun thought experiment. It will then discuss ways you can make an existing environment more stimulating and challenging (standing desks as a very obvious example). It then concludes that “intent” and “habits” are more important – your relationship with the environment. It will thus suggest a number of ways to train incidentally. Chapter 7: Splitting Your Workouts This chapter discusses the benefits of splitting workouts up throughout the day: this can increase energy and mood, encourage muscle growth, and massively improve performance. It’s also more convenient for a lot of people. Chapter 8: An Active Brain This chapter applies many of the previously discussed concepts to brain training. Chapter 9: A Program This chapter offers a program based on the SuperExercises and splitting workouts into lots of smaller parts. One of the biggest criticisms of the previous book was the lack of an actual program – this should address that! Chapter 10: You Are Information A little indulgence! An alternative way to look at the body and its relationship with the environment.
