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.

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.

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.

•  Learn the science behind the six key pillars of the Metabolic Ecosystem—blood sugar control, muscle, movement, stress management, good sleep, and a healthy gut—and how to adjust each pillar to fit your lifestyle.

• Master the art of long-term weight loss by understanding how to get your subconscious mind on board with change instead of relying on willpower to follow through.

• Use the informed intuitive-eating approach to predict a craving before it starts, manage it once it hits, or prevent it from ever happening in the first place

• Apply the Next Best Choice framework so you can handle anything that pops up, including the Diet Danger Zones (such as vacations and holidays), without going into “f*ck it” mode.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

A blueprint for rethinking fitness and reclaiming movement as part of modern life.

For many of us, movement was once woven naturally into our lives, integrated into school days and childhood play as an opportunity for adventure and connection. But in the modern world, with our days shaped by convenience, efficiency, and by so many responsibilities and claims on our time, exercise has become increasingly calculated and compartmentalized. We have lost touch with movement in our daily lives, with devastating effects on our health and happiness.

In Move, Thrive, and Come Alive, health and performance expert Kyle Gonzalez guides us to break free from sedentary living and rediscover the joy of movement through simple, sustainable shifts in our thinking and habits. Learn to rekindle motivation and a sense of play with more than 100 approachable, practical ideas to create a long-term movement practice, easily adaptable for different lifestyles and abilities. This isn't about finding time to exercise—it's about making movement a natural part of how we live, with vast benefits to longevity, mental clarity, our social lives, and our overall well-being.

Full of inspiration, science-backed tips, and strategies tailored for busy schedules, Move, Thrive, and Come Alive breaks the mold of traditional fitness books. Whether you read a page a day or devour it in one sitting, this is a wake-up call to unlearn rigid approaches to exercise and make movement a source of energy, vitality, and fun. If you're ready to feel stronger, more energized, and more alive, this book will show you how.

• Preparations to make if you choose a homebirth
• Intuitive ways to help labor progress smoothly
• How to make a hospital birth more homely
• Advice on breastfeeding and the first hours, days and weeks with your newborn

Si padeces cansancio, ansiedad, inflamación, hipertensión o altos niveles de glucemia, es probable que tu cuerpo esté intoxicado de alimentos ultraprocesados.

Los refrescos, las sopas instantáneas, las galletas o los nuggets son ejemplos de ultraprocesados con altos niveles de carbohidratos y muy pocos nutrientes.

Nuestras elecciones son influidas por la invasión de estos productos en los supermercados, a menudo presentados como «saludables». Diversos estudios demuestran que una de cada siete personas es adicta a ellos y, lamentablemente, su consumo está directamente relacionado con el desarrollo de cáncer, diabetes y enfermedades cardiovasculares.

El cambio más poderoso que puedes hacer por tu salud es limpiar tu dieta sin renunciar al sabor, y el nutriólogo inglés Rob Hobson te explica cómo lograrlo. Con esta guía y recetario no solo aprenderás a preparar platillos deliciosos para mejorar tu alimentación de manera fresca, nutritiva y deliciosa, sino que también descubrirás que la comida natural se puede adaptar a tu estilo de vida.

Aléjate de la tentación que provocan los ultraprocesados a la hora de la cena, del almuerzo y de las comidas rápidas. Aprende a cocinar tus alimentos, congelar tus platillos favoritos, preparar salsas a tu gusto y tener siempre refrigerios variados; además de mejorar tus niveles de glucemia y colesterol.

ESTA ES TU BRÚJULA PARA NAVEGAR POR EL MUNDO MODERNO DE LA ALIMENTACIÓN.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

If you suffer from fatigue, anxiety, inflammation, high blood pressure, or elevated blood sugar levels, your body may be overwhelmed by ultra-processed foods.

Sodas, instant soups, cookies, and nuggets are examples of ultra-processed products packed with carbohydrates and lacking essential nutrients.

Our choices are shaped by the invasion of these products in supermarkets, often marketed as “healthy.” Studies show that one in seven people is addicted to them, and unfortunately, their consumption is directly linked to cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

The most powerful change you can make for your health is to clean up your diet without sacrificing flavor—and British nutritionist Rob Hobson shows you how. With this guide and recipe book, you’ll learn to prepare delicious meals that improve your nutrition in a fresh, flavorful, and nourishing way, while discovering that natural food can fit your lifestyle.

Stay away from the temptation of ultra-processed foods at dinner, lunch, and snack time. Learn to cook your meals, freeze your favorite dishes, make sauces to your taste, and keep a variety of snacks on hand; all while improving your blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

This is your compass for navigating the modern food landscape.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The surprising connection between glucose, metabolism, and inflammation for limitless health.

What if it were proven that many of the diseases we face today share the same root cause? Dr. Casey Means argues that our ability to prevent and heal many conditions—and to truly feel well—depends on our metabolic function. This factor, the most important and least understood in our health, explains how our cells produce and use energy, impacting every aspect of our physical and mental well-being.

The good news is that, for the first time, we can monitor our metabolic health and learn how to improve it. Through pioneering scientific research, personal stories, and her experience as the founder of a health tech company, Dr. Means offers practical strategies to optimize key areas of our health and a four-week plan that reveals:

• The five biomarkers that determine the risk of serious illness.
• Tools that allow us to "see inside our body" and take action.
• Six nutritional principles we can apply to our diet, whether carnivore or vegan.
• Key connections between sleep, circadian rhythm, and metabolism.
• A new approach to exercise that integrates movement into daily life.
• How exposure to cold and heat strengthens the body.

Good Energy offers a new perspective on the true cause of many diseases and helps us optimize our health to live well at any age.

Menopause: so many symptoms, so few remedies, so many years, so few heads-ups. 

In Steamy, you’ll find forty-five of the ever-expanding list of things people can encounter when going through The Change, including challenges (such as #4 Night Sweats and #21 Anxiety) and boons (such as #41 Individuation and #45 Fewer Shits). 

In this raucous memoir, Susan Holbrook opens up an experience still constrained by cultural silences and myths. Steamy is honest, vulnerable, gross, and might just be the funniest book you’ve ever read about menopause, or anything else (see #37 Bloating). 

If, at a certain stage of life, you find yourself sucker-punched by a sweaty fistful of symptoms you can’t believe no one told you about, Steamy is for you – and for all the other hot-and-bothereds out there.

'A very special book that I enjoyed enormously' Cees Nooteboom

A dazzling ode to life, literature and Paris, the French capital that even in emptiness and desolation will always be magnificent.

Soon after Henk Pröpper moves from Amsterdam to Paris, both the world and his heart almost come to a full stop. He undergoes major surgery and awakes in an empty city in lockdown. Paris is transformed into an abandoned stage. To quicken his recovery, Pröpper begins walking. He combs his immediate surroundings, he hunts for the past, discovering countless commemorative plaques and monuments that honour well- and lesser-known Parisians and keep their histories alive. Pröpper also reflects on his own life and the literature that has shaped him. In this way, he walks in the footsteps of literary heroes such as Victor Hugo, of Balzac and of Camus.

'One of the most moving and most invigorating autobiographies ever written. This is a finely polished gem worthy of admiration' Knack

'A concise masterpiece that summarises a life in the time of the pandemic in the personal, euphoric and precarious shades of one year. Without one's realising, it covers just about everything: thoughts, emotions, literature, films, loves, feelings, memories, annoyances and doubts' Vrij Nederland

'Philosophical, reflective, and with the pleasantly slow heartbeat of a writer who carries the reader through the city, European literature and history' het Parool

Translated by Emma Rault.
Epilogue translated by Sherry Macdonald.

A simple yet profound way of releasing tension throughout the body, the Alexander Technique teaches new ways of sitting, standing and moving to enable more graceful movements and minimise stress and strain on the muscular system.

The Alexander Technique Manual features specially commissioned photographs which demonstrate the exercises and includes special sections on sport, pregnancy and the workplace as well as the history behind the technique.

Accessible to all, many famous people from John Cleese, George Bernard Shaw, Aldous Huxley and the Queen Mother have spoken highly of the benefits that can be derived from practising it.

Un ejercicio de autocrítica que cuestiona la medicina como dogma y que pone el foco en los ángulos muertos de la ciencia.

¿Puede que la crisis de la medicina moderna tenga su origen en la desmesurada arrogancia que impregna el sistema sanitario? El reputado médico Marty Makary analiza los estudios más recientes para exponer las profundas carencias existentes en la ciencia médica: desde la encendida revolución de los opioides recomendados por los expertos a lo largo de décadas, hasta la criminalización de las grasas naturales de la comida disparando el incremento de obesidad, pasando por la prescripción de antibióticos en masa, que dio lugar a una creciente resistencia bacteriana por parte de la población.

Cuando la práctica médica se rige por interpretaciones fundamentadas en la opinión propia y no por la evidencia científica, esta puede llegar a moldear creencias que perjudiquen a innumerables pacientes y, además, a reabrir investigaciones que durarán decenios. En este libro, el Dr. Makary revela las lagunas de la medicina moderna y aborda urgentes problemas que siguen siendo ignorados en nuestra infraestructura sanitaria. El camino hacia la verdad en la medicina puede ser absurdo, entretenido y asombroso, pero la verdad es esencial para garantizar nuestra salud y bienestar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A self-critical examination that challenges medicine as dogma and shines a light on science’s blind spots.

Could the crisis in modern medicine stem from the overwhelming arrogance embedded in the healthcare system? Renowned physician Marty Makary analyzes the latest studies to expose the deep flaws in medical science: from the fiery rise of opioids promoted by experts for decades, to the demonization of natural fats in food that fueled the obesity epidemic, and the mass prescription of antibiotics that led to growing bacterial resistance.

When medical practice is guided by personal interpretation rather than scientific evidence, it can shape beliefs that harm countless patients and reopen research paths that span decades. In this book, Dr. Makary reveals the gaps in modern medicine and tackles urgent issues that continue to be ignored in our healthcare infrastructure. The journey toward truth in medicine may be absurd, entertaining, and astonishing—but truth is essential to ensure our health and well-being.

Cómo la psilocibina, ketamina, ayahuasca y otras sustancias están transformando el tratamiento de la ansiedad, la depresión y el trauma.

«Una exploración reflexiva y actualizada del potencial curativo de los psicodélicos; un recurso valioso para cualquier interesado en el uso seguro y responsable de estas extraordinarias medicinas». RONALD D. SIEGEL, autor de El extraordinario don de ser normal y profesor de la Facultad de Medicina de Harvard.

Si sufres depresión, ansiedad o estrés postraumático, esta es una oportunidad para descubrir tratamientos alternativos. Los psicodélicos están ganando reconocimiento como herramientas valiosas para abordar este tipo de trastornos. Aunque muchas de estas sustancias han sido utilizadas como medicina por pueblos ancestrales, pocas personas conocen sus beneficios para la salud mental.

La doctora Carmen Amezcua, pionera de la psiquiatría integrativa en México y especialista en terapia asistida con psicodélicos por el Integrative Psychiatry Institute en Estados Unidos, presenta una guía que explica cómo el consumo adecuado de psilocibina (presente en los hongos), LSD, ketamina o mescalina (presente en el peyote) puede funcionar como un camino de sanación que conecta mente, cuerpo y espíritu para alcanzar el bienestar holístico.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

How psilocybin, ketamine, ayahuasca, and other substances are transforming the treatment of anxiety, depression, and trauma.

“A thoughtful and up-to-date exploration of the healing potential of psychedelics; a valuable resource for anyone interested in the safe and responsible use of these extraordinary medicines.” —RONALD D. SIEGEL, author of The Extraordinary Gift of Being Normal and professor at Harvard Medical School.

If you suffer from depression, anxiety, or PTSD, this is your chance to explore alternative treatments. Psychedelics are gaining recognition as powerful tools for addressing these conditions. While many of these substances have long been used as medicine by ancestral cultures, few people are aware of their mental health benefits.

Dr. Carmen Amezcua, a pioneer in integrative psychiatry in Mexico and a certified specialist in psychedelic-assisted therapy from the Integrative Psychiatry Institute in the U.S., offers a guide explaining how the proper use of psilocybin (found in mushrooms), LSD, ketamine, or mescaline (found in peyote) can serve as a healing path that connects mind, body, and spirit to achieve holistic well-being.

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 Guide 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.

¿Es realmente bueno tener índices bajos de colesterol?

Todos hemos oído hablar sobre los peligros del colesterol, sobre ese colesterol «malo» que debemos mirar con cuidado cada vez que nos hacemos una analítica. Puede que no comprendamos el porqué, pero seguimos buscando tener cada vez índices más bajos como si eso fuera el marcador supremo de una salud impecable. Y los médicos siguen recetando pastillas «milagrosas» para ponerlos en las horquillas establecidas. Sin incluso ser conscientes de que la mayoría de las veces esto puede ser perjudicial. ¿Es verdaderamente el colesterol el causante de todos los males con los que se le relaciona?

El colesterol es una molécula indispensable para la vida, para la integridad estructural de nuestras membranas celulares y que, además, interviene en multitud de procesos de nuestro organismo y ayuda a nuestro crecimiento y desarrollo. ¿Por qué, entonces, insistimos en demonizar una molécula tan esencial para la vida?

En este libro, Juan Bola expone multitud de estudios y datos para acabar con las falsas creencias que rodean al colesterol, y explica cuáles son las verdaderas causas de las enfermedades cardiovasculares y cómo podemos minimizar su riesgo.

Unas páginas repletas de evidencia científica para conocer en profundidad los mecanismos lipídicos de nuestro cuerpo y descubrir cómo, a través de una dieta evolutivamente correcta y unos buenos hábitos, podemos potenciar nuestra salud cardiovascular.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Is having low cholesterol levels really a good thing?

We’ve all heard about the dangers of cholesterol—the “bad” cholesterol we’re told to monitor every time we get bloodwork done. We may not understand why, but we keep chasing lower numbers as if they were the ultimate marker of perfect health. And doctors keep prescribing “miracle” pills to get those numbers within range, often without realizing that, in many cases, this could be harmful. Is cholesterol really responsible for all the problems it’s blamed for?

Cholesterol is a molecule essential for life, crucial for the structural integrity of our cell membranes and involved in countless bodily functions that support growth and development. So why are we so quick to demonize something so vital?

In this book, Juan Bola presents a wealth of studies and data to dismantle the misconceptions surrounding cholesterol and explains the true causes of cardiovascular disease and how we can reduce our risk.

A compelling, science-backed exploration of lipid mechanisms in the body—and how, through an evolutionarily sound diet and healthy habits, we can enhance our cardiovascular well-being.

Dale vida a los años y no sólo años a la vida.

Piensa en envejecer. ¿Qué imagen te viene a la mente?¿Una etapa vital dorada y activa en movimiento, disfrutando con tus amigos y entrenando cuerpo y mente? ¿O más bien asocias la palabra envejecimiento a fragilidad, pérdidas o impotencia?

Pues has de saber que el envejecimiento orgánico comienza mucho antes de que lo veamos por fuera o lo sintamos por dentro. No es algo que «te sucede» sin remedio de un día para otro. De hecho, puedes optar por rejuvenecer mientras cumples años. Depende de tus decisiones: la longevidad saludable no es un mito, sino una realidad al alcance de tu mano, si conoces las herramientas adecuadas.

En este nuevo libro, la Dra. Sari Arponen explora los conceptos de edad, salud y envejecimiento desde nuestras raíces evolutivas hasta los últimos avances en células madre o terapias génicas. Profundiza en una reflexión honesta, incluso incómoda, sobre cómo percibimos la muerte y nuestra humanidad.

Para vivir mejor mañana, cada decisión que tomas hoy cuenta.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Bring life to your years, not just years to your life.

Think about aging. What image comes to mind?A golden, active stage of life, filled with movement, enjoying time with friends and training both body and mind? Or do you associate the word “aging” more with fragility, loss, or helplessness?

You should know that organic aging begins long before we see it on the outside or feel it on the inside. It’s not something that “just happens” overnight with no remedy. In fact, you can choose to rejuvenate as you grow older. It all depends on your decisions: healthy longevity is not a myth, but a reality within your reach—if you know the right tools.

In this new book, Dr. Sari Arponen explores the concepts of age, health, and aging from our evolutionary roots to the latest advances in stem cells and gene therapies. She dives into an honest—even uncomfortable—reflection on how we perceive death and our humanity.

Beyond theory, these pages offer a realistic guide to a long life filled with well-being: advice on nutrition, supplementation, exercise, and other lesser-known strategies you can start applying today. To live better tomorrow, every decision you make today matters.
