But why are those the only goals? What if there was a third, practical, healthy and exciting way to train our body and our mind? Learn how we can train our brains just like our bodies, and how to incorporate this into a comprehensive, well-rounded program.Discover: New ways to train body and mind Training for greater mobility, less pain, improved mood, and increased energy The fun of training with kettlebells, calisthenics, clubbells, street workouts, animal moves, handstands, rope climbs, isometrics, and more Fans of Overcoming Gravity, You Are Your Own Gym, The World’s Fittest Book, New Functional Training for Sports, or Calisthenics for Beginners―discover a new and better way to train both your body and mind in Functional Training and Beyond!Table of ContentsChapter 1: What is Functional Training and Why Does it Matter? Chapter Goal: To explain the concept of functional training, and to explain why the big 3 lifts are not sufficient for complete strength. • Who needs functional training (martial artists, athletes, and in my opinion: everyone else) • How our modern lifestyles are ruining our bodies • Skills vs attributes • Recent trends and developments in fitness (movement culture, old time strongmen, MMA, parkour) • Why training the body and mind together is logical Chapter 2: The Science of Hypertrophy and Building Strength Chapter Goal: This chapter outlines the basic science of building muscle to help lay the foundation for what is to follow. Readers will learn the basics of building muscle and power. • Metabolic stress, muscle damage, and mechanical tension • Progressive overload (and alternatives) • Time under tension and other factors influencing growth • Bodybuilding vs powerlifting (also “powerbuilding”) • Building explosive power (an explanation of muscle fiber types and rate of force development) • A list of effective strength-building exercises Chapter 3: Kettlebells and Alternative Methods for Building Strength Chapter Goal: This chapter will introduce lesser-known methods for developing truly transferrable strength, from old-time strongmen (and modern strongmen), to kettlebell training. Kettlebells help build strength thanks to their offset nature, and constantly changing angles of resistance. Similarly, old time lifts like the bent-press develop stronger obliques. This has huge carry-over for sports and everyday activities. • Old-time strongman lifts for training the missing muscles • Introducing the kettlebell (and clubbell/Indian clubs – with exercises) • Medicine balls, sandbags, battle ropes, and more • The missing link: grip strength (and pinky strength!) • How overcoming isometrics develop super-human strength (with explanation of muscle fiber recruitment) • Quasi isometrics • Hybrid exercises Chapter 4: Just Move: An Introduction to Movement Training Chapter Goal: This chapter will serve as an overview of the emerging movement culture, providing introductions to animal walks, training outdoors, and more. It will show you how to naturally increase range of motion, to eradicate stiffness, and regain child-like exuberance. • Get outdoors (why training outside is beneficial, an explanation of movements like MovNat) • Barefoot running and developing foot strength • Move like an animal (an introduction to animal walks) • Proprioception and balance • Why animals don’t warm up (pandiculation and “incidental training”) • Developing mobility Chapter 5: Handbalancing and Advanced Calisthenics Chapter Goal: This chapter is a natural progression from the last, explaining hand-balancing and gymnastics, along with movements such as gymnastic strength training. Straight arm strength is one example of a crucial aspect of strength that is overlooked by mainstream health and fitness. This can unlock amazing skills like planche and handstands, which will be explained here. • How to build muscle with bodyweight • An introduction to hand-balancing • Straight arm strength explained • Hollow body and core strength • Gymnastics rings, dip bars, parallettes, and other tools • Advanced calisthenics moves explained • Training for parkour • Training for martial arts Chapter 6: Maximizing Endurance Chapter Goal: This chapter will introduce concepts like HIIT, work capacity, steady state cardio, and more. Readers will learn how to increase fitness with long runs or short intense circuits. They’ll also learn how this translates to better performance in the gym, and how to go even further with advanced techniques like breath training. • How to increase fitness with steady state cardio • Introducing HIIT (it’s trendier and has many advantages, but doesn’t entirely replace LISS as we will see here) • Metabolic conditioning and resistance cardio • Work capacity and strength endurance • Advanced methods for increasing VO2 max (including lung training, threshold runs, breathing techniques etc.) Chapter 7: The Mind Muscle Connection Chapter Goal: This chapter will explain the intimate connection between the body and mind and why training them together makes a lot of sense. It will also discuss some specific strategies for improving mental performance, which can likewise enhance your training. • How we think with our bodies (this works in several ways, but I’m particularly excited to discuss embodied cognition – a fascinating and relatively new psychological theory). • How movement unlocks the learning potential of the brain (learning new movements is fantastic for brain plasticity) • Muscle control (how old-time strongmen and golden-era bodybuilders gained greater control over individual muscles and how this is beneficial for max strength) • Accelerate skill acquisition • Reflexes, working memory, and attention • Motivation, discipline, and mental toughness • Meditation for optimal performance Chapter 8: Recovery and Refueling Chapter Goal: Training on its own is not enough. Just as important is the rest and recovery phase, along with proper nutrition. This book won’t go into great depth regarding nutrition, but will provide some basics such as the importance of micronutrients, how to gain/lose weight, and advice on protein consumption. • Nutrition basics: weight loss, weight gain, and supporting your training • Why you aren’t losing/gaining weight • The importance of sleep and how to optimize it • Bulletproof: how to prevent injury • Avoiding overtraining and burnout • SuperFunctional supplement – what do you really need? • More lifestyle factors for optimum recovery Chapter 9: Programming and Overcoming the Interference Principle Chapter Goal: This book introduces lots of concepts and different training methods. The interference principle suggests that combining multiple training methodologies can result in diminishing returns. This chapter provides information on basic programming for any type of training, as well as explanations for the program that will be introduced in the final chapter. It also provides tips on how to set goals, overcome setbacks etc. • How to write a training program: cycles, frequency, and goals • Full body vs PPL vs Bro Splits (and a fourth option) • How to overcome the interference principle • Concurrent training • Dealing with setbacks and fitting training around your schedule. Chapter 10: Your Program for Complete Functional Fitness: The Protean System Chapter Goal: The book ends with a detailed training program that combines everything discussed in previous chapters. It also outlines a new strategy for combining isometric, explosive, and high-rep training in each routine that I call the “Protean System.” The program also incorporates exercises for cognitive performance. There will be a recap on diet, deload weeks, and mobility. • Conclusion and words of encouragement

Book SynopsisTuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it. In 2019, John Green met Henry, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone while traveling with Partners in Health. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal and dynamic advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, treatable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing 1.5 million people every year. In Everything is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry's story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.

Book SynopsisIn this ground-breaking book, Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff looks back to our ancestors for solutions to our failing modern-day parenting theories.When Dr Michaeleen Doucleff became a mother, she examined the studies behind modern parenting guidance and found that the evidence was frustratingly limited, and the conclusions often ineffective. She began to wonder if an opposite approach was needed one founded on traditional wisdom, like the knowledge and experience passed down over hundreds, even thousands, of years within ancient cultures.With her young daughter in tow, she travelled across the world to observe and practice parenting strategies alongside families in three of the world''s most venerable communities: Maya families in Mexico, Inuit families above the Arctic Circle, and Hadza families in Tanzania.Dr Doucleff soon learned that these cultures don''t have the same problems with children that Western parents do. Most strikingly, parents build a relationship with young children that

Book SynopsisRewire your brain, end your pain. From back pain to migraines, arthritis and sciatica, over 1.2 billion people worldwide suffer from regular or chronic pain, 28 million in the UK alone. It’s a global epidemic that regularly resists treatment and can totally derail people’s lives. But it doesn’t have to be this way.This is the revolutionary message from psychotherapist Alan Gordon who, frustrated by the lack of effective treatment for his own debilitating pain, developed a highly successful approach to eliminating symptoms without surgery or medication, offering a viable and drug-free alternative to existing – and often addictive – methods.Based on the premise that pain starts in the brain not the body, Gordon’s Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) enables you to rewire your neural circuits and turn off 'stuck' pain signals.

Drawing on cutting-edge research along with his own experiences as a chronic pain sufferer, he will help you:- Understand how the brain can unintentionally 'learn' chronic pain- Turn off pain signals that have become 'stuck' - these are false alarms- Use revolutionary techniques to break the cycle of fear that causes chronic pain- Develop long-term strategies for living pain-freeGame-changing, practical and full of real-life stories from Gordon’s clinical practice, this book will change the way you think about pain forever - and give you a way out of your pain today.Trade ReviewThe Way Out is a groundbreaking approach to the treatment of chronic pain that gives hope to those who were thought to be incurable. All chronic pain patients owe it to themselves to read this book. * Andrew Weil, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Spontaneous Healing *With straightforward and practical wisdom, The Way Out presents a sophisticated yet simple approach to understanding and healing chronic pain-an approach grounded in advanced science and proven clinical experience. * Gabor Maté MD, author of When the Body Says No *At long last, a successful treatment for chronic, disabling pain.

Book SynopsisIs your diet feeding or defeating disease?We are at a turning point in our understanding of how to prevent and fight disease. Rates of cancer, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, obesity and other common health problems are skyrocketing. However, the latest scientific research and clinical evidence is revealing that the power to protect ourselves against these threats and resist them lies in a simple solution: the foods we eat everyday. In Eat to Beat Disease, Dr William Li explains that your body was designed to fight threats like these and we have radically underestimated how food can be used to amplify this hidden power. Your body has five natural defence systems that, if functioning well, can protect you: angiogenesis (growing new blood vessels), cell regeneration, the microbiome, DNA protection and immunity. The healthy working of each has been found to be intimately connected to the foods we eat – and the findings are sometimes surprising. Discover: · Why scientists think drinking hot cocoa boosts stem cells crucial for your body's regeneration· The role of cheese and wine in maintaining healthy gut bacteria· Why drinking coffee lowers your risk of dyingRevealing more than 200 foods that you can incorporate into your life today to help you live longer, Dr William Li proposes a simple 5 x 5 x 5 framework, inviting you to choose five foods and eat them five times a day, to fortify your five defence systems. It is not about dieting or cutting out – it is about having the confidence to incorporate the healthy foods you already love into a plan for life-long change. It could save your life.

Book SynopsisStatins are the so-called wonder drugs widely prescribed to lower blood cholesterol levels and claim to offer unparalleled protection against heart disease. Believed to be completely safe and capable of preventing a whole series of other conditions, they are the most profitable drug in the history of medicine. In this groundbreaking book, GP Malcolm Kendrick exposes the truth behind the hype, revealing: high cholesterol levels don't cause heart disease; a high-fat diet - saturated or otherwise - does not affect blood cholesterol levels; and, the protection provided by statins is so small as to be not worth bothering about for most men and all women.Statins have many more side affects than has been admitted and their advocates should be treated with scepticism due to their links with the drugs' manufacturers.Kendrick lambastes a powerful pharmaceutical industry and unquestioning medical profession, who, he claims, perpetuate the madcap concepts of 'good' and 'bad' cholesterol and cholesterol levels to convince millions of people to spend billions of pounds on statins, thus creating an atmosphere of stress and anxiety - the real cause of fatal heart disease.With clarity and wit, "The Great Cholesterol Con" debunks our assumptions on what constitutes a healthy lifestyle and diet. It is the invaluable guide for anyone who thought there was a miracle cure for heart disease, an appeal to common sense and a controversial and fascinating breakthrough that will set dynamite under the whole area.

Book SynopsisHypothyroidism is one of the commonest yet the worst treated condition in Western medicine. Why? Because today's doctor only treats blood tests, not patients even though they may have all the classic signs and symptoms.

Book SynopsisDr Kelly Brogan, New York Times bestselling author and holistic psychiatrist, proposes an alternative to medicating mental, emotional and physical pain away. '[Will] change how you approach your health and mental wellbeing.' Sarah Gottfried, author of The Hormone Cure.For years, we've been telling ourselves that our difficult feelings - sadness, rage, shame, intensity, worry - are somehow 'not okay'. All too often, we've relied on the promise of pharmaceuticals to tamp them down. The fact is that these feelings are a vital part of our experience. They are real. And those of us who feel them most strongly are the canaries in the coal mine - sensitive to things that are seriously wrong in the world today. In a book that's both provocative and promising, holistic psychiatrist Kelly Brogan MD shows us that we don't have to medicate our mental, emotional and physical pain away - that the best way out is through. Then she charts a new path to get real, get well and get free. The journey includes:· Coming to a new appreciation of the meaning behind symptoms· Exploring the 5 reversible physical drivers of so-called mental illness· Starting a process of radical physical healing with inclusive details of Dr Brogan's history-making 30-day protocol · Taking a deeper dive into the spiritual awakening and expansion that comes when you reclaim your real self from conventional medicineOur experiences, Dr Brogan argues, aren't problems or pathologies; they reflect what we need to accept, acknowledge and transform in order to truly become who we are. Own Your Self is a journey of healing and coming home to ourselves.'Kelly Brogan engages us in a courageous conversation about the epidemic of mental health issues in our society. Her work is an important part of the understanding that will set us free.'Marianne Williamson, New York Times bestselling author of A Return to Love

Book SynopsisThe New York Times best-selling author of My Stroke of Insight blends neuroanatomy with psychology to show how we can short-circuit emotional reactivity and find our way to peace.For half a century we have been trained to believe that our right brain hemisphere is our emotional brain, while our left brain houses our rational thinking. Now neuroscience shows that it’s not that simple: in fact, our emotional limbic tissue is evenly divided between our two hemispheres. Consequently, each hemisphere has both an emotional brain and a thinking brain. In this groundbreaking new book, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor—author of the New York Times bestseller My Stroke of Insight—presents these four distinct modules of cells as four characters that make up who we are: Character 1, Left Thinking; Character 2, Left Emotion; Character 3, Right Emotion; and Character 4, Right Thinking.Everything we think, feel, or do is dependent upon brain cells to perform that function. Since each of the Four Characters stems from specific groups of cells that feel unique inside of our body, they each display particular skills, feel specific emotions, or think distinctive thoughts. In Whole Brain Living, available in paperback for the first time, Dr. Taylor blends neuroanatomy with psychology to help us:Get acquainted with our own Four Characters, observe how they show up in our daily life, and learn to identify and relate to them in others as wellApply the wisdom of the Four Characters to every area of life—from work to relationships to healthUse a powerful practice called the Brain Huddle—a tool for bringing our Four Characters into conversation with one another—to short-circuit emotional reactivity, tap our characters’ respective strengths, and choose which one to embody in any situationThe more we become familiar with each of the characters in ourselves and others, the more power we gain over our thoughts, our feelings, our relationships, and our lives. Indeed, we discover that we have the power to choose who and how we want to be in every moment. And when our Four Characters work together and balance one another as a whole brain, we gain a radical new road map to deep inner peace.
