Vax Facts is a one-stop-shop for all the information parents and guardians need to make an informed choice about childhood vaccinations.

The challenge for most who are wrestling with whether to give a vaccine is a lack of understanding about what information they really need to make an informed decision.

Written by a pediatrician who witnessed the difference over decades in the health outcomes of the vaccinated, partially vaccinated, and unvaccinated children in his practice, Vax Facts will enlighten parents and guardians and provide the information needed for informed consent.

Covering each of the vaccines recommended by the CDC and doctors, from pregnancy through the teen years, this detailed guide breaks down the ingredients, the lack of safety testing, and the side effects and risks of the vaccines.

With the help of simple data tables that compare the rates of death from the diseases for which we have vaccines and the rates of death from the vaccines themselves, parents and guardians can easily decide what’s right for their children.

With almost four million births per year in the United States, this useful resource will resonate with all who are pregnant or considering pregnancy, and all parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles who are considering whether vaccination is appropriate for a family member or loved one.

At the end of each chapter, Just a Mom (coauthor DeeDee Hoover) shares personal stories and reflections that allow readers to connect with the information.

This information-packed guide is for all those asking “Should I get my child vaccinated?” who want more than just a yes/no answer. After reading Vax Facts, parents and guardians will be able to decide with confidence whether vaccination is the right choice for their loved one.

In Wild & Well, Dani Williamson helps readers connect to a healthy, brighter future as well as help them find a community that will support and encourage them.

In a time when there is access to more knowledge and resources than ever before, and the power of information is literally in the palm of one’s hand, a strange thing is happening: People still believe most of what they hear. Sadly, the idea that one has to feel worse and take more prescriptions as they age is just a lie, plain and simple. It’s a lie that has kept people stuck not in a healthcare system but in a sick-care system that doesn't profit from happy, healthy patients. Dani Williamson helps readers break free from that untruth and allow them to re-discover how they were meant to live… Wild & Well!

In Wild & Well, readers dive with Dani into a discussion of the modern state of health in America and learn the six steps they can take into order to reclaim their health, relationships, intimacy with their spouse, and faith in the fact that they are fearfully and wonderfully made. Readers learn that it’s not as hard as they think to eat well, sleep well, poop well, move well, relax well, and connect well.

How can we learn to notice the signs of disability?

We see indications of disability everywhere: yellow diamond-shaped “deaf person in area” road signs, the telltale shapes of hearing aids, or white-tipped canes sweeping across footpaths. But even though the signs are ubiquitous, Stephanie L. Kerschbaum argues that disability may still not be perceived due to a process she terms “dis-attention.”

To tell better stories of disability, this multidisciplinary work turns to rhetoric, communications, sociology, and phenomenology to understand the processes by which the material world becomes sensory input that then passes through perceptual apparatuses to materialize phenomena—including disability. By adding perception to the understanding of disability’s materialization, Kerschbaum significantly expands our understanding of disability, accounting for its fluctuations and transformations in the semiotics of everyday life.

Drawing on a set of thirty-three research interviews focused on disabled faculty members’ experiences with disability disclosure, as well as written narratives by disabled people, this book argues for the materiality of narrative, suggesting narratives as a means by which people enact boundaries around phenomena and determine their properties. Signs of Disability offers strategies and practices for challenging problematic and pervasive forms of “dis-attention” and proposes a new theoretical model for understanding disability in social, rhetorical, and material settings.

A critical study of diabetes in the popular imagination

Over twenty-nine million people in the United States, more than nine percent of the population, have some form of diabetes. In Managing Diabetes, Jeffrey A. Bennett focuses on how the disease is imagined in public culture. Bennett argues that popular anecdotes, media representation, and communal myths are as meaningful as medical and scientific understandings of the disease.

In focusing on the public character of the disease, Bennett looks at health campaigns and promotions as well as the debate over public figures like Sonia Sotomayor and her management of type 1 diabetes. Bennett examines the confusing and contradictory public depictions of diabetes to demonstrate how management of the disease is not only clinical but also cultural. Bennett also has type 1 diabetes and speaks from personal experience about the many misunderstandings and myths that are alive in the popular imagination. Ultimately, Managing Diabetes offers a fresh take on how disease is understood in contemporary society and the ways that stigma, fatalism, and health can intersect to shape diabetes’s public character. This disease has dire health implications, and rates keep rising. Bennett argues that until it is better understood it cannot be better treated.

A thorough, accessible guide to exploring the world of cannabis, with tips and insights for beginners and seasoned users alike.

The cannabis landscape is quickly evolving as legalization efforts expand across the US and around the world. Research increasingly shows the health benefits of cannabinoids and their promise as alternative treatments for pain, insomnia, seizures, anxiety, and more. But after decades of stigma and criminalization, many who would like to start using, growing, or cooking with cannabis don’t know where to begin. 

The Essential Cannabis Book is the road map for anyone curious about this booming new industry. Rob Mejia’s journey into the world of cannabis education began when his family sought treatments for his sister’s pain in her final days battling cancer, and he quickly found himself fielding questions about cannabis from friends and colleagues who were frustrated with the lack of reliable information. Mejia breaks down the complex history and science of this ancient plant, explains the current legal and regulatory framework in different states and countries, and shares personal stories from those in the cannabis community, from a hemp-farming nun to one of the first patients to receive medical cannabis from the US government.

With a glossary of terms, detailed lists of the effects of different cannabinoids and strains, steps for visiting a dispensary or starting to homegrow, and delicious recipes for aspiring canna-chefs, this guide is the essential resource for anyone curious about cannabis.

The Tao of Bioenergetics is the first comprehensive study of the use of Energetics as a scientific model (paradigm) in both western and eastern thought.

This book traces the history and uses of Qi (Chi), the bioenergy of China, from the I-Ching through physics, astrology, Feng Shui and alchemy.

The author demonstrates how the findings of the ancient Chinese Qigong masters were paralleled and confirmed in the early works of Hippocrates, Parclsus and Mesmer. He then shows the confirmation of Qigong theory in the modern clinical and experimental discoveries of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Wilhelm Reich and Alexander Lowen. Also included are extensive excerpts from the published works of notable eastern scholars such as Yang, Ni, and Lu.

Special attention is given to the experiments of Wilhelm Reich to show the objectivity of the energy paradigm, and his experiments are quoted at length as scientific confirmation of eastern Qigong.

Finally, a synthesis is suggested and conclusions drawn for the future use of the broader energy paradigm in global science and human development.

Build a strong foundation for health, longevity, and spiritual enlightenment with the ancient art of Qìgōng Embryonic Breathing (Internal Elixir).

Chinese Qìgōng can be categorized into External Elixir (Wai Dan) and Internal Elixir (Nei Dan). To reach the goals of longevity and spiritual enlightenment, the practitioner must learn Internal Elixir Qìgōng.

The first step, and the focus of this book, is to understand the theory and the method of Embryonic Breathing. Practicing this breathing technique will help you

• Optimize your central energy system
• Conserve your energy
• Store this energy at abundant levels 

Using ancient Buddhist and Daoist documents, Dr. Yáng analyzes and discusses meditation theory and training methods in a modern and scientific manner. This double-edged approach will enable you to quickly achieve a high level of understanding.

It is well acknowledged that without a proper foundation, the root of spiritual enlightenment will not be established and the meditative practice of Qìgōng for spiritual enlightenment, may be in vain.

Qìgōng Embryonic Breathing is organized into three parts

• Foundations: General Qìgōng concepts and meditation theory
• Translations and commentary of ancient documents related to Embryonic Breathing
• The practice of Embryonic Breathing meditation

The necessary second and third steps are to practice Qìgōng Small Circulation and Qìgōng Grand Circulation.

This second edition includes pinyin tonal marks for pronunciation, modern Chinese fonts, and illustration enhancements.

This book presents over ten years of research into how and why tai chi benefits health from an evidence-based, medical perspective.

Dr. Peter Anthony Gryffin demonstrates the link between health and metarobics, his term for slow, meditative exercises that enhance blood oxygen saturation, diffusion, and oxygen-based metabolism. Metarobics—including tai chi, qigong, and yoga—focus on relaxation and deep breathing. Dr. Gryffin’s research shows that these exercises offer a wide range of benefits for treating chronic disease.

Dr. Gryffin cites numerous scientific studies as well as testimonials from patients who have experienced the natural healing benefits of metarobic exercise. Many have surmounted chronic health problems to improve their quality of life. Some even overcame grave diagnoses.

This book features:

• More than 120 scientific studies on tai chi and other metarobic exercises
• More than 50 case stories from tai chi qigong, and yoga practitioners
• Clear, straightforward language
• Tested guidelines to improve your metarobic exercise and maximize health benefits

“This book presents over ten years of research into how and why tai chi benefits health from a physiological perspective,” Dr. Gryffin says. “The links I discovered will allow everyone from novice students to veteran teachers to maximize benefits for health and chronic conditions.”

In 1968, Dr. Kenneth Cooper’s book Aerobics changed the world of health and fitness. Mindful Exercise: Metarobics , Healing, and the Power of Tai Chi is the next step in this evolution.

Fairy tales, though they were originally folk tales told to adults, have been a key part of childhood for centuries and remain popular today. Their patterns and morality have a profound influence on the developing mind of children; they shape the way children understand ideas of good and evil, poverty and riches, beauty and ugliness. They stimulate the imagination and provide much-needed heroes and heroines.

The deeper meaning of these tales, however, has often been lost. Rudolf Meyer explores key themes and images, such as the prince, animals, the tailor or enchantment, in well-known fairy tales. He shows how characters such as Snow White and Cinderella represent particular aspects of our own nature and how there is a deep wisdom to be found in their stories.

This book will be fascinating and insightful reading for parents and teachers.

Eurythmy is a modern art of movement, and eurythmists work in the realms of art, healing and education. The benefits as a healing social art, for both children and adults, are well known.

Rudolf Steiner gave a course on eurythmy therapy in which he described the process of 're-enlivening the whole physiology'. The authors of this book have researched eurythmy therapy for many years and this book is a comprehensive overview of their work.

«¿Te mudarías a mi casa?» La primera vez que Jessie Inchauspé recibió esta petición de uno de sus lectores, a quien por supuesto no conocía, fue pocos días después de la publicación del libro que iba a cambiar por completo la conversación acerca de la nutrición y las dietas: La revolución de la glucosa. En su libro, Jessie había compartido numerosos y contundentes argumentos científicos acerca del modo en que la glucosa afecta a todos los aspectos de nuestra vida y nuestra salud, así como trucos sencillos para aprender a manejarnos con sus efectos. Tras esa petición y el gran éxito internacional de su obra, llegaron muchas más…

Pero, ¿por qué tantas ofertas para mudarse a casa de desconocidos? Porque sus seguidores querían que estuviera a su lado para ayudarles a poner en práctica la ciencia de La revolución de la glucosa, día a día, comida a comida. Querían un plan. Un libro práctico, recetas, ánimo e inspiración.

Este libro es el resultado de tantas y tantas de estas peticiones. En él, Jessie comparte sus trucos, recetas, listas de la compra y planes, tal y como lo haría con un buen amigo o un familiar. Se trata de una guía que abarca 4 semanas con sus 100 recetas favoritas que ayudará a los lectores a persistir en la práctica, a equilibrar sus niveles de glucosa y a empezar a sentirse mejor que nunca.

El 90 % de la población vive con niveles de glucosa inestables, y la mayoría ni siquiera lo sabe, aunque a todos nos resulten familiares los síntomas: antojos, fatiga crónica, hambre constante, inflamación, problemas de sueño, problemas hormonales… Sabemos ya que empezaremos a sentimos mejor y recuperemos nuestros niveles de energía normales cuando aplanamos la curva de la glucosa. Pero, ¿cómo se hace eso? Desde luego, no a base de contar calorías ni de eliminar de la dieta ciertos grupos de alimentos. No, lo que vamos a hacer es utilizar una serie de principios basados en los últimos descubrimientos científicos: tomar un sabroso desayuno salado, empezar siempre las comidas con un buen plato de vegetales, incorporar el vinagre a nuestra dieta, movernos un poco después de comer… Una vez estos principios se convierten en hábitos recuperamos nuestra salud y nos sentimos mucho mejor.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"The most insightful guide to getting moving I've ever read.” —Kelly McGonigal, author of The Joy of Movement

"If you've ever felt stuck on the sidelines of your own wellness journey, this might be the most validating, actionable, and life-giving book you pick up this year."—Kelly and Juliet Starrett, authors of Built to Move

Break down the common everyday mental blocks to moving your body, and turn your mind from an adversary into an ally in the quest to feel better in your body.

"I know I should move my body more, but...

• I’m on my feet all day for work and I’m exhausted!"
• I’m addicted to my phone."
• I’m great at starting movement programs, just lousy at sticking with them."
• My body jiggles and embarrasses me in public."
• Movement is sooooo boring!"

Sound familiar? If not, it probably means you have another perfectly good excuse of your own. We all have our reasons for not getting the physical activity we know is good for us—reasons which stubbornly defy the same old tired prescriptive advice about hours of weekly cardio or numbers of steps. Adding insult to injury, these same excuses contribute to you feeling bad or guilty when you fail to move as much as you know you “should.”

That’s why Diana Hill and Katy Bowman have put together this simple guide to changing the way you think to change how much you move.

Diana is a modern psychologist, expert in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and host of the Wise Effort podcast. Her mission is to help her clients and readers grow the psychological flexibility needed to get moving in directions that matter to them. Katy is a biomechanist, author, and trailblazing movement teacher who has spent a career helping people integrate more movement into their lives. In I Know I Should Exercise, But…, the two join forces to help you challenge your barriers to movement in a new way. Katy translates her understanding of the obstacles that keep people sedentary—including dozens of real-world examples from readers and clients—into 44 essential impediments to movement. Diana responds to those common barriers, while introducing you to acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), behavioral psychology, and self-compassion: evidence-based-approaches for cultivating flexibility and aligning actions with values.

Whether your internal barrier is born of fear, malaise, inertia, embarrassment, or difficulty managing competing priorities, you will learn how to disempower it by applying effective science-based tools for changing the way you think.

You’ll learn to identify your resistance—whether it’s an unhelpful thought, a misplaced motivation, or a contextual barrier—and respond wisely and effectively, using tools and techniques that can be applied to other areas of your life as well, including:

• urge surfing
• motivational interviewing
• behavioral stretching
• strengthening your acceptance muscle

This is a must-have book for anyone struggling with the mental barriers to moving more and an essential resource for personal trainers, fitness instructors, and mental health professionals wanting to better connect with their clients.

Stretch your mind, connect with what is truly important to you, and stop talking yourself out of the movement you need!

In her practice as a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in pelvic health, Dr. Anietie "Tia" Ukpe-Wallace sees evidence nearly every day of the disconnection between women and their bodies. That disconnect has a variety of sources—trauma, embarrassment, miseducation—and manifests as both a lack of understanding and awareness and a reluctance to physically connect with their own bodies.

• Gentle guidance for exploring one’s own anatomy, with abdominal massage and journaling prompts
• Information about menstruation, perimenopause and menopause
• An in-depth examination of the causes and challenges of infertility
• An honest, detailed review of many of the conditions that can arise to complicate a pregnancy
• A prescription for post-partum self-care
• A powerful and lovely inquiry into the many types of grief related to the reproductive journey—especially that of losing a child.

Tia’s holistic approach draws on traditional knowledge (“to tend to our womb is not new”), and honors the relationships between the reproductive system and the rest of the body: for example, our feet, posture, breasts, heart, and brain. She encourages women to get personal with their anatomy, become curious observers of their own bodies, and become their own best advocate in a medical maternity care system that is not stacked in favor of women, and even less so for women of color.

Tending to Your Womb is a compassionate and trustworthy guide to improving your relationship with your most intimate parts.

Your best years are not behind you.

If you’re a man in your 40s, 50s, or beyond and you think building muscle, getting stronger, and feeling great is a thing of the past—think again.

Muscle After 40 is the ultimate no-nonsense guide to help you break through the myths, bad advice, and one-size-fits-all programs holding men back as they age. Whether you’re a beginner starting fresh or an experienced lifter adjusting to new challenges, this book delivers a clear, science-backed system to:

• Build serious muscle and strength at any age
• Train around common aches, pains, and injuries
• Boost testosterone naturally
• Cut through misinformation and avoid common training mistakes
• Develop a sustainable plan tailored to your lifestyle and goals
• Protect yourself against age-related decline

You’ll also learn how to warm up properly, recover smarter, eat better, and use advanced training techniques to keep progressing—even when adding weight or reps gets tougher.

Most importantly, you’ll discover that aging doesn’t mean falling apart. In fact, with the right strategy, you can perform better than you did in your 20s and 30s.

It’s time to ditch the “over the hill” mindset and build lasting muscle, strength, and vitality for life.

Seguramente tienes déficit de magnesio y no lo sabes.

Vivimos en una sociedad en la que la fatiga constante, el estrés crónico y el insomnio han dejado de ser excepciones para convertirse en la norma. Este libro revela por qué el déficit de magnesio, tan frecuente como infradiagnosticado, es el hilo invisible que conecta gran parte de los problemas de salud contemporáneos, desde la resistencia a la insulina hasta la ansiedad, pasando por el envejecimiento precoz.

Phil Hugo explica con precisión cómo este mineral regula la producción de energía, la estabilidad del sistema nervioso, la respuesta al estrés y la capacidad del cuerpo para reparar y regenerarse. Cada capítulo ofrece una combinación de fisiología avanzada y estrategias aplicables: cómo densificar tu dieta en magnesio a través de alimentos, aguas y suplementos, cómo elegir la mejor forma de magnesio, cómo potenciar su absorción y qué señales clínicas alertan de que el déficit está afectando al organismo.

Un libro imprescindible para quienes buscan entender qué hay detrás de su cansancio y desean recuperar un estado de vitalidad que hoy parece lejano.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

You probably have a magnesium deficiency and don’t even know it.

We live in a society where constant fatigue, chronic stress, and insomnia have stopped being exceptions and have become the norm. This book reveals why magnesium deficiency—so frequent yet underdiagnosed—is the invisible thread connecting many contemporary health problems, from insulin resistance to anxiety, and even premature aging.

Phil Hugo explains in detail how this mineral regulates energy production, nervous system stability, stress response, and the body’s ability to repair and regenerate. Each chapter offers a mix of advanced physiology and practical strategies: how to enrich your diet with magnesium through foods, water, and supplements, how to choose the best form of magnesium, how to enhance absorption, and what clinical signs indicate that deficiency is affecting the body.

An essential book for those who want to understand the root of their fatigue and regain a state of vitality that now feels distant.

Superconsciousness—where ordinary people can do extraordinary things

Tai Chi a Path to Becoming Superconscious offers a transformative guide for Tai Chi (Taiji) practitioners and anyone intrigued by the nature of consciousness. Drawing on over forty years of dedicated practice and teaching, author Rick Barrett reveals the hidden wisdom of ancient Tai Chi Chuan (Taijiquan) masters in clear, accessible language. More than just a martial art or health exercise, Tai Chi Chuan is presented as a powerful path to superconsciousness—a heightened state of awareness achieved through the integration of body, mind, and spirit. The book reminds us how even occasional Tai Chi practice can yield significant health benefits, such as improved cognitive function, better blood-oxygen levels, and relief from conditions like osteoarthritis, Parkinson’s disease, depression, and more. However, the heart of this book lies in its exploration of superconsciousness, a state where the mind is calm, focused, and free from fear, and where intention and action become one. This state unlocks hidden abilities, effortless power, and a profound sense of presence.

Learn about:

• Supranormal awareness and powers
• Spiritual awakening
• Tai Chi's soft internal power
• Instant meditation
• The “gap-between-thoughts”
• Hemispheric Synchronization of the brain
• And much more

Superconsciousness is not reserved for spiritual elites; it is accessible in everyday life, whether during martial arts, music, or daily routines. This book redefines spiritual awakening as the full realization of human potential, likening superconsciousness to the entire ladder of awareness, not just its highest rung. Readers are invited to engage life fully, using every aspect of their being. 

Tai Chi a Path to Becoming Superconscious is an essential resource for those seeking deeper meaning, practical wisdom, and a holistic approach to personal growth through the art of Tai Chi Chuan (Taijiquan).

Este libro no va contra los médicos, ni contra los suplementos, ni contra las dietas que sigues como si fueran una religión. Va contra la costumbre de mirar el cuerpo como si fuera solo una máquina que se repara, y no una historia que se escucha.

Aquí no vas a encontrar recetas mágicas. Vas a encontrar verdades incómodas.

Tu cuerpo te habla a través de síntomas: hinchazón, reflujo, cansancio, nudos que no sabes si son digestivos o emocionales. Este libro es para ti si ya has probado de todo y aún no sabes qué te pasa. Si vives en ese limbo entre «puede que sea colon irritable», «igual es SIBO», «quizá es ansiedad»... o alguna etiqueta nueva que todavía no te han puesto. Y si estás cansado de que te den soluciones para tu cuerpo, cuando en realidad lo que te duele es otra cosa, en estas páginas vas a descubrir:

• Qué pasa en tu cuerpo cuando reprimes lo que sientes para no molestar… y por qué eso termina molestando en tu intestino.
• Cómo saber si tu estrés nace en tu mente… o en tu estómago.
• Por qué no terminas de mejorar aunque comas bien, tomes suplementos y sigas al pie de la letra todo lo que te dicen.
• Lo que nadie te cuenta sobre la inflamación silenciosa, el sistema nervioso y sus consecuencias digestivas.
• Estrategias prácticas para calmar tu cuerpo cuando él va por un lado… y tú por otro.
• Una guía clara para pasar del «no sé qué me pasa» al «por fin entiendo por dónde empezar».
• Casos reales que te ayudarán a entender —y empezar a desbloquear— lo que te ocurre, sin culpas ni etiquetas limitantes.
• Recursos prácticos para mejorar tu digestión sin vivir esclavo de una dieta o de tus síntomas.
• Un plan detallado de 28 días, paso a paso, para mejorar tus problemas digestivos sin agobios, sin obsesiones y sin protocolos eternos.
• Y muchas más herramientas para reconectar con tu cuerpo… y con tu vida.

Este no es un libro para leer, es un libro para digerir. Y puede que, por primera vez, sientas que ahora sí: sabes por dónde empezar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This book is not against doctors, supplements, or diets you follow as if they were a religion. It challenges the habit of seeing the body only as a machine to be fixed, rather than as a story to be listened to.

Here you won’t find magic recipes. You’ll find uncomfortable truths.

Your body speaks through symptoms: bloating, reflux, fatigue, knots you don’t know if they’re digestive or emotional. This book is for you if you’ve tried everything and still don’t know what’s wrong. If you live in that limbo between “maybe it’s irritable bowel,” “maybe it’s SIBO,” “maybe it’s anxiety”… or some new label you haven’t been given yet. And if you’re tired of being offered solutions for your body when what really hurts is something else, in these pages you will discover:

• What happens in your body when you repress what you feel so as not to bother… and why it ends up bothering your gut.
• How to know if your stress originates in your mind… or in your stomach.
• Why you don’t improve even if you eat well, take supplements, and follow all the advice to the letter.
• What no one tells you about silent inflammation, the nervous system, and its digestive consequences.
• Practical strategies to calm your body when it goes one way… and you another.
• A clear guide to move from “I don’t know what’s wrong” to “I finally understand where to start.”
• Real cases that will help you understand —and begin to unlock— what’s happening to you, without guilt or limiting labels.
• Practical resources to improve your digestion without being enslaved by a diet or your symptoms.
• A detailed 28-day plan, step by step, to improve your digestive problems without stress, obsessions, or endless protocols.
• And many more tools to reconnect with your body… and with your life.

This is not a book to read, it is a book to digest. And perhaps, for the first time, you will feel that now you truly know where to begin.

A book for practicing Yoga like Swami Kripalu did.

Swami Kripalu (1913-81) was an Indian saint and social activist who experienced a profound energetic awakening in mid-life and spent his last four decades intensively practicing asana, pranayama, and meditation in a quest to scale the ladder of yoga to its highest rung. This is the first book to present his teachings on yoga and a host of related esoteric topics in a straightforward manner that enables them to be sensibly applied on the mat and cushion by today’s practitioners. 

The book also traces the efforts of the author and a cadre of other Westerners – sometimes effectively, other times not – to progress along Swami Kripalu’s path of yoga through the type of systematic practice he valued so highly. Presented in contemporary language, these are potent teachings true to the roots of historic yoga to bring its mysteries alive for today’s students.

Hacia la medicina de la salud

Un nuevo enfoque para lograr el equilibrio físico y mental

Carlos López-Otín, catedrático de Bioquímica y Biología Molecular reconocido internacionalmente por sus contribuciones al estudio del genoma humano, el envejecimiento y el cáncer, recorre la historia de la medicina para mostrar cómo ha evolucionado nuestro concepto de salud hacia una verdadera medicina de la salud.

Basándose en investigaciones recientes, el autor propone que la salud no es solo la ausencia de enfermedad, sino el equilibrio entre nueve claves celulares y moleculares que permiten el funcionamiento óptimo del organismo. Explica cómo los aspectos físicos y mentales se entrelazan y ofrece pautas prácticas para mejorar el bienestar.

Con un enfoque multidisciplinario y una prosa accesible, La levedad de las libélulas invita a reconsiderar ideas clásicas sobre la medicina y a imaginar un futuro donde el cuidado de la salud sea una cultura de vida.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Toward the medicine of health

A new approach to achieve physical and mental balance

Carlos López-Otín, professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology internationally recognized for his work on the human genome, aging, and cancer, traces the history of medicine to show how our concept of health has evolved toward a true medicine of health.

Drawing on recent research, the author proposes that health is not merely the absence of disease but the balance among nine cellular and molecular keys that enable optimal body function. He explains how physical and mental aspects intertwine and offers practical guidance to improve wellbeing.

With a multidisciplinary approach and clear prose, La levedad de las libélulas (The Lightness of Dragonflies) invites readers to reconsider conventional medical ideas and imagine a future in which health care is a culture of life.

Tu salud depende mucho más de tu comportamiento que de la genética o la suerte.

Obesidad, hipertensión, diabetes, ansiedad, depresión, dolores crónicos, problemas de espalda y un largo etcétera son sólo algunos ejemplos de las patologías crónicas que forman parte de la vida cotidiana de demasiadas personas.

¿Y cuál es la respuesta de la medicina convencional ante esta epidemia de enfermedades? Tratar los síntomas y no la causas, con lo que nos mantiene vivos… y enfermos.

Cuando buscamos culpables ante esta situación es tentador pensar en nuestra genética. Sin embargo, hoy sabemos que el conflicto entre nuestro estilo de vida y lo que esperan nuestros genes es lo que nos enferma. Éstos se forjaron en la adversidad, generando respuestas protectoras frente a desafíos ambientales como por ejemplo el frío, el calor o ayunos involuntarios por falta de alimento.

Dichas respuestas son las que convirtieron a nuestros ancestros en personas de salud privilegiada. Sin embargo, en la actualidad pasamos jornadas maratonianas sentados, continuamente estresados, inundados de comida que nos engorda pero no nos alimenta y todo bajo la promesa de una felicidad que nunca llega.

La solución no pasa por una «pastilla milagrosa», sino por incorporar en nuestro día a día los estímulos para los que nuestros genes están preparados para responder. Es lo que se llama hormesis y se basa en la vieja sabiduría popular de «lo que no te mata, te hace más fuerte».

Si a todo esto le sumamos el reconectar con la naturaleza, una dieta basada en comida real o las técnicas de respiración milenarias… llevarás tu salud y bienestar a un nivel superior.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Your health depends far more on your behavior than on genetics or luck.

Obesity, hypertension, diabetes, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, back problems, and a host of other conditions are only some examples of chronic pathologies that are part of daily life for too many people.

And what is conventional medicine's response to this epidemic of diseases? Treat the symptoms and not the causes, which keeps us alive… and sick.

When we look for culprits it's tempting to blame our genetics. However, we now know that the mismatch between our lifestyle and what our genes expect is what makes us sick. Those genes were forged in adversity, producing protective responses to environmental challenges such as cold, heat, or involuntary fasting due to food scarcity.

These responses made our ancestors people of robust health. Today, however, we endure marathon days sitting, chronic stress, food that fattens but does not nourish, all under the promise of happiness that never arrives.

The solution is not a "miracle pill" but to incorporate into our daily lives the stimuli our genes are prepared to respond to. This is called hormesis and is based on the old popular wisdom of "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger".

Combine that with reconnecting with nature, a diet based on real food, and ancient breathing techniques… and you'll raise your health and well-being to a higher level.

Y tú, ¿qué es lo que deseas?

Gillian Anderson recopila las fantasías sexuales más íntimas de mujeres de todo el mundo.

¿Qué deseamos cuando tenemos la libertad de ser nosotras mismas?

«Quiero a mujeres de todo el mundo, viejas y jóvenes, cualquiera que sea su religión, casadas y solteras: quiero que me escriban y me cuenten en qué piensan cuando piensan en sexo.»

En palabras de la propia Gillian Anderson, Quiero «recoge las cartas de cientos de mujeres de todo el mundo que comparten sus fantasías más profundas. Presentado por mí —y con mi propia carta anónima—, Quiero revela lo que piensan y sienten las mujeres sobre el sexo cuando tienen la libertad de ser totalmente ellas mismas».

Cuando hablamos de sexo, hablamos de feminidad y maternidad, infidelidad y explotación, consentimiento y respeto, justicia e igualitarismo, amor y odio, placer y dolor. Y, sin embargo, por muchas razones —algunas complicadas, otras no—, muchas de nosotras no hablamos de ello.

En Quiero, Anderson expone sin filtros las cartas anónimas de mujeres con realidades de lo más variadas: desde una mujer sij que escribe sobre su deseo secreto por su cuñado hasta una mujer apache que quiere ser adorada como una criatura divina; desde una mujer blanca británica que solo quiere que la besen como es debido por última vez a otra a quien le gusta jugar a ser una pantera, pasando por una hispanojudía radicada en Bangladesh cuyo culmen de excitación sexual es el pomo de una puerta.

Descubre lo que sienten las mujeres sobre el sexo cuando no tienen miedo a ser juzgadas.

Y tú, ¿en qué piensas cuando piensas en sexo?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

And you, what do you desire?

Gillian Anderson gathers the most intimate sexual fantasies of women from around the world.

What do we desire when we have the freedom to be ourselves?

In Gillian Anderson's words, Want  “collects the letters of hundreds of women worldwide sharing their deepest fantasies. Presented by me —and including my own anonymous letter—, Quiero reveals what women think and feel about sex when they are free to be completely themselves.”

Talking about sex involves femininity and motherhood, infidelity and exploitation, consent and respect, justice and equality, love and hate, pleasure and pain. Yet for many reasons —some complex, others not—, many of us do not talk about it.

In Want, Anderson presents unfiltered anonymous letters from hundreds of women with vastly different realities: from a Sikh woman who writes about a secret desire for her brother-in-law to an Apache woman who wants to be worshipped as a divine being; from a white British woman who simply wants one last proper kiss to another who likes to play at being a panther, to a Hispanic-Jewish woman living in Bangladesh whose climax is triggered by a doorknob.

Discover what women feel about sex when they're not afraid of being judged.

And you, what do you think about when you think about sex?

Si con frecuencia te sientes irritable o ansioso, y si después de haber intentado con dietas, terapias o medicamentos nada dio resultado, quizá valga la pena voltear hacia un lugar inesperado para encontrar la solución: lo que pones cada día en tu plato de comida.

La reconocida psiquiatra nutricional Uma Naidoo revela cómo la alimentación es una poderosa aliada para reducir la ansiedad, mejorar el estado de ánimo y recuperar el equilibrio emocional. Con un enfoque práctico, accesible y respaldado por la ciencia, descubrirás:

• Por qué lo que comes influye directamente en cómo te sientes.
• La manera en que ciertos alimentos detonan tu tristeza o ansiedad sin que lo notes.
• Qué platillos reconfortantes, como los macarrones con queso o el mousse de chocolate, pueden iniciar un cambio profundo en tu bienestar.

Reconecta con la comida de manera consciente, aprende a disfrutarla y, al mismo tiempo, a sanar desde el interior. Al final, tendrás las herramientas para crear tu propio plan alimentario antiestrés, recordando siempre que la comida no solo nutre tu cuerpo: también puede brindarle calma y alegría a tu mente, un plato a la vez.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

If you often feel irritable or anxious, and diets, therapies, or medications haven’t helped, the solution might lie in an unexpected place: what you put on your plate every day.

• Why what you eat directly affects how you feel.
• How certain foods can trigger sadness or anxiety without you noticing.
• Which comfort dishes, like mac and cheese or chocolate mousse, can kickstart a deep shift in wellbeing.

¿Por qué cuando hablamos de salud femenina todavía nos llaman «histéricas»? Un manual imprescindible con la información que nunca te dieron para entender tu cuerpo, desterrar mitos y dejar de normalizar el dolor.

Nos enseñaron a callar, a soportar, a pensar que el dolor era parte de la vida. Nos dijeron que los ciclos irregulares, los sangrados abundantes, las dificultades para concebir o el dolor durante el sexo eran «normales». Nos hicieron creer que exagerábamos, que nuestra angustia era emocional, que solo debíamos «relajarnos».

La Dra. Karen Tang, ginecóloga, cirujana y activista de la salud femenina, ha escuchado durante años las mismas historias: mujeres y personas con útero que han recorrido un laberinto de consultas sin encontrar respuestas, cuyos síntomas han sido minimizados o ignorados por un sistema médico que, históricamente, ha tratado la salud ginecológica como un asunto secundario. Este libro es un acto de resistencia, un manual de autoconocimiento y un grito de justicia.

Con un enfoque claro, accesible y profundamente inclusivo, No es histeria desmonta mitos, responde a preguntas que nunca nos han sabido contestar y nos ofrece herramientas prácticas para entender y defender nuestra salud. Aquí encontrarás explicaciones sobre afecciones como la endometriosis, el síndrome de ovario poliquístico, los miomas, la disfunción del suelo pélvico o la menopausia. También aprenderás a identificar señales de alerta, a comunicarte eficazmente con los médicos y con las personas que te rodean, y a exigir el trato que mereces.

Pero este libro no es solo información médica: es un cambio de narrativa. La Dra. Tang desafía el sesgo de género en la medicina, denuncia la falta de investigación en salud femenina y nos empodera para reclamar nuestro derecho a una atención digna.

Si alguna vez has sentido que tu dolor no importaba, que tu cuerpo era un misterio que nadie se molestaba en descifrar o que la salud reproductiva era un tema tabú, este libro es para ti. Porque no, No es histeria, y ha llegado el momento de tomar las riendas de nuestro bienestar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Why are women still called “hysterical” when we talk about our health? An essential handbook with the information you were never given to understand your body, bust myths, and stop normalizing pain.

Dr. Karen Tang, a gynecologist, surgeon, and reproductive health advocate, has heard the same stories for years: women and people with uteruses navigating a maze of appointments without answers, their symptoms minimized or dismissed by a medical system that has historically treated gynecological health as secondary. This book is an act of resistance, a guide to self-knowledge, and a cry for justice.

Clear, accessible, and deeply inclusive, It's Not Hysteria dismantles myths, answers questions no one has properly answered, and offers practical tools to understand and defend your health. It explains conditions such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, fibroids, pelvic floor dysfunction, and menopause. You will also learn how to spot warning signs, communicate effectively with clinicians and loved ones, and demand the care you deserve.

More than medical information, this book changes the narrative. Dr. Tang challenges gender bias in medicine, denounces the lack of research in female health, and empowers readers to claim their right to dignified care.

If you've ever felt your pain didn't matter or that your body was a mystery no one bothered to solve, this book is for you. Because no, It's Not Hysteria, and it's time to take charge of our well-being.

 Millions of people are suffering from chronic illnesses that, unbeknownst to them, are the result of exposure to environmental toxins and infectious agents such as mold and Borrelia, which causes Lyme disease. Millions. Because the symptoms of these illnesses are so varied and unusual, many of these individuals have sought medical care only to be dismissed, as if what they are experiencing is “in their head.” Many (if not most) have tried to tough it out and continue to function without hope of improvement. Unfortunately, their illnesses are very real.

The new edition of Toxic offers renewed hope for patients, their loved ones, and the physicians who care for them. Dr. Neil Nathan delves deeper into the harmful impact of chronic inflammation in driving disease and presents the latest information that can help both doctors and patients achieve faster and more complete healing. He has also expanded the chapter on mold toxicity, as it is increasingly recognized as a leading cause of complex illnesses. Drawing on decades of experience helping thousands of patients regain their health, even when other doctors had lost hope, Dr. Nathan continues to refine his understanding of the common causes of debilitating illnesses, leading to more precise and effective treatments.

• Detailed descriptions of each of the five major causes of extreme sensitivity and toxicity: mold, Bartonella (a co-infection of Lyme disease), mast cell activation, porphyria, and carbon monoxide poisoning
  
• An outline of the cell danger response, a revolutionary model developed by Dr. Robert Naviaux that explains how the body essentially gets "stuck" fighting a threat even after the danger has passed

Una guía que destierra para siempre la idea de que la menopausia es una enfermedad o una etapa de declive en la vida de la mujer.

En estas páginas la autora reivindica la necesidad de que la mujer llegue a esa fase de su vida con la máxima información, aunque hasta ahora lo que ha sufrido es la desinformación, la falta de investigación y la cultura de la vergüenza. Saber qué está sucediendo, por qué y qué hacer al respecto es empoderador y reconfortante.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A guide that forever dispels the idea that menopause is a disease or a stage of decline in a woman’s life.

In these pages, the author emphasizes the need for women to enter this phase of life with as much information as possible, even though until now what they have faced is misinformation, lack of research, and a culture of shame.

Filled with practical and reassuring information, this essential guide will revolutionize the way women experience menopause—and even discover that their lives can become even better.

Over the past 50 years, there have been some dramatic changes in how children are raised, fed, and educated. In looking at both child-rearing practices and children’s education, one of the most obvious changes is this as a society, we seem to have lost our most basic common sense about the natural relationship between physical wellness and mental health, and in so doing we’ve forgotten how interconnected we really are to the natural world around us. Isn’t it concerning that 1 in every 12 children take a medication that has a significant and often unknown impact on their development in cognitive and neurological maturation?

As has always been true, children need good food, adequate sleep, plenty of fresh air and sunshine, and opportunities for physical work, play, and exercise. With these observations in mind, Naturopathic Wisdom provides a common sense roadmap for the implementation of safe naturopathic practices that are desperately needed for struggling children and teens. More specifically, this book will:

• Highlight relevant aspects of the author’s own illness-to-wellness story
• Share professional observations and insights gained from a mental health practice of 30+ years
• Propose simple, safe, naturopathic interventions for the physical and mental health conditions in children and teens
• Detail the research that supports these practices

The quest for immortality has fascinated humanity for centuries.

If living forever isn’t possible, how long can a person live? And can one live well into their eighties, nineties, or even beyond 100 with strength, vitality, purpose, passion, and grit?

Dr. Jeffry S. Life, MD, PhD, a New York Times bestselling author, has spent decades researching these questions and has found that the answer is within reach.

At eighty-seven years old, Dr. Life still practices medicine full-time, works out daily, and is more active today than he was decades ago.

In The Long Life Plan, Dr. Life reveals the simple, science-based plan he developed to overcome the most common barriers to health, vitality, and longevity. It is the same plan he follows to stay healthier and more productive than most people half his age.

Accessible to individuals of all ages and backgrounds, The Long Life Plan offers practical steps for living a longer, more vibrant life, no matter how busy or tight the budget may be.

The question isn’t just how long a life can last, but how fully it can be lived.

Learn how to eliminate pain, not just soothe the symptoms.

Don’t settle for relieving your pain — eliminate it!

80% of the Western population has suffered, suffers, or will suffer from back pain at some point in their lives, yet most existing treatments focus on tackling the symptoms and forget the root of the problem.

With nearly twenty years of clinical experience and supported by the latest advances in biomechanics, Juanma Ortega has developed a method based on active techniques that will make you the protagonist of your recovery. His goal is clear: to free you from back pain by addressing the source of the problem, solving it at its root so it never returns.

The author, an expert in non-surgical spinal injury recovery, offers multiple solutions combining advanced techniques of compensation, decompression, and joint stabilization to effectively and durably eliminate pain.

He also explains how your lifestyle affects your recovery and provides the keys to turning pillars like healthy eating and rest into your allies.

For centuries, men have been growing and styling their facial hair, whether for the sake of vanity, religion, or cultural considerations, but most of us don’t give it a second thought. The Bearded Gentleman is an authoritative yet lighthearted guide that offers detailed information on some fifty specific facial hair styles: where they come from, how to grow them, and how to maintain them.

Among them are many well-known styles, such as the Handlebar, the Fu Manchu, the Goatee, the Van Dyck, and the more recent Soul Patch. But there are also those that are less familiar, including the Horseshoe, the Lampshade, the Painter’s Brush, the Landing Strip, the French Fork, and El Insecto (a.k.a. the Mighty). There’s also practical advice on choosing a facial hair style that’s right for you, as well as insight into how facial hair has figured in the history of masculinity, including its impact on politics, class, and sexuality.

The Bearded Gentleman is an entertaining, witty, and useful guide to facial hair styles and the men who wear them.

You cleaned up your diet. You followed the plan. So why aren’t you seeing the results?

The truth is, it’s not just what you eat—it’s what your body absorbs.

In this long-awaited follow-up to Stay Off My Operating Table, Dr. Philip Ovadia and Joshua Lisec reveal the best-kept secret in nutrition science: Your gut health and nutrient absorption matter just as much as the food on your plate. If you’re stuck on a plateau, struggling with inflammation, or wondering why your "healthy" choices aren’t working, this book explains exactly why.

This book emphasizes a vital truth: To achieve lasting health, you must remove foods that harm your metabolism, spike your blood sugar, cause inflammation, or block nutrient absorption from your kitchen. This book shows you how to eliminate those hidden offenders and fill your table with nourishing, body-friendly foods that support healing and vitality.

Through clear explanations and a proven step-by-step plan, Stay Off My Kitchen Table teaches you how to optimize your internal engine so your body can finally absorb the nutrients it needs to heal, energize, and thrive. You will discover that the path to a longer lifespan and healthspan is not to do more; it’s to do less. With the manageable, intuitive, and even fun dietary changes you’ll be making, your kitchen table will never look the same—and neither will you.

It all starts with a 4-week elimination diet designed to reduce inflammation, reset your gut, and remove the hidden food triggers that are sabotaging your progress. By the end of the month, you’ll have a clean slate and a clear path forward—no guesswork, no gimmicks.

In this groundbreaking guide, you’ll discover:

• Why some people thrive on new diets while others crash
• How to increase bioavailability and get more nutrition from fewer foods
• The truth about anti-nutrients and why some “superfoods” backfire
• A powerful 4-week elimination diet to reboot digestion and unlock nutrient absorption

The last diet book you’ll ever need. Because once your body absorbs what it’s missing, everything changes.

Carnivore in the Kitchen is more than just a collection of recipes; it is an exploration of flavors, textures, and cooking creativity!

Burgers, rib eyes, and brisket are tasty and satisfying, but they’re not the only way to pack a carnivore diet with nutrients. In Carnivore in the Kitchen, popular TikTok creator Courtney Luna shares her approach to making a meat-centric way of eating exciting and sustainable.

This is more than a cookbook. It begins with a deconstruction of popular meat-based diets—the lion diet, the more traditional carnivore-style diet, and the broader animal-based diet—to help you differentiate between them and empower you to carve out a dietary path that works with your preferences and lifestyle.

Courtney follows this overview with chapters devoted to helping you start your carnivore journey, offering tips for setting up your kitchen and stocking your fridge, freezer, and pantry. She also provides curated meal plans and grocery lists, which take the stress out of answering everyone’s favorite question, “What’s for dinner?” The carnivore lifestyle can work for the whole family, and in a section devoted to an animal foods–based diet for kids (which also includes fruit), Courtney explains how to emphasize nutrition without demonizing foods.

She keeps one foot grounded in traditional carnivore practice by explaining the basics of preparing different cuts of meat, which helps you build your confidence in the kitchen. Then she takes you beyond the conventional with recipes that offer a more expansive range of flavors but are still 100 percent carnivore friendly. The recipes ensure guilt-free nourishment without grains, gluten, sweeteners, or vegetables, but for those who want a hint of “naughtiness,” she offers a bit of indulgence with optional vanilla, cinnamon, and other seasonings. You’ll be able to let your carnivore spirit run wild with recipes like

• Breakfast Meatballs
  
• Smoked Salmon Blinis
  
• Creamy Sausage Soup
  
• Hidden Liver Burgers
  
• White Lasagna
  
• Carnivore Cinnamon Rolls
  

Whether you are carnivore diet devotee or are just looking to try something new, Carnivore in the Kitchen encourages experimentation and innovation by inspiring you to go beyond traditional meat dishes and discover new preparations and flavor combinations you never thought possible!

Whether you're navigating minor concerns or major challenges, Check Engine Light will empower you to take control of your health and performance through expert guidance and an experimental mindset. 

Let’s face it, we’ve all got a check engine light flashing. Maybe it’s that low back pain you’ve had for years, or the emotional baggage that’s collecting dust in your brain, or the growing fluffiness around your waistline, or maybe it’s something you are not even sure whether to interpret as a warning signal. But all of us let things build up over time, and those things drag us down and keep us from living and performing at our best. 

Sometimes we know exactly why the light is flashing, but we either can’t or won’t slow down long enough to investigate. Other times we don’t realize the light is flashing at all. Rob Wilson’s Check Engine Light delivers a fresh approach to identifying these hidden and not-so-hidden signals so you make more informed decisions about how you drive, when to perform maintenance, and when repairs might be due. Learning to tune into your indicators will give you the opportunity to tweak and adjust your habits and approaches to health, whatever they may be, before the “car” ends up on the side of the road with the muffler tumbling down the highway a mile back. 

This book is different from any other health book you’ve read. It does not provide static protocols or step-by-step instructions that are meant to lead to a specific end point, because only you know what works best for you. Instead, it describes a new way of interacting with the dynamic and ever-changing landscape of your personal health. While all humans have some commonalities, each of us expresses our health in ways that are unique to our genetics, upbringing, personal history, physical environment, and culture. This complex cocktail of ingredients makes us who and what we are as individuals, and that customized blend shapes our health and performance. 

In this book, you will:

• Examine how and why people tend to ignore important health indicators until it’s too late
• Learn to think critically about your own health perception and how to calibrate that perception using objective tools
• Build a dashboard of reliable indicators so you have access to information about your personal health and performance and what might be in need of your attention
• Learn how to select the right tools and protocols for your performance longevity toolkit
