Health & Fitness

Migrañas, alergias, problemas de tiroides y de hormonas, gastritis, intestino irritable, enfermedades autoinmunes, sobrepeso por más dietas que hagas, acné, eccemas, vientre hinchado, estreñimiento, retención de líquidos, dolores musculares y articulares, baja energía... este es solo el comienzo de una lista de enfermedades y condiciones que pueden estar vinculadas a un sistema inmunitario que te esté gritando: ¡estamos inflamados!

El sistema inmunitario es el encargado de controlar la inflamación crónica, responsable de muchas de las enfermedades de la vida moderna y la culpable de que, a veces, te encuentres mal sin saber por qué. Reconocer que podemos sufrir de inflamación crónica, y saber cómo combatirla a través de una alimentación y estilo de vida antiinflamatorio, puede ayudarnos a mejorar notablemente nuestra calidad de vida.

En este libro, la Dra. Pocovi, especialista en el impacto que tiene la alimentación en nuestro sistema inmunitario, te enseñará a tomar medidas claves para reforzarlo, combatir la inflamación y recuperar tu salud, partiendo del cuidado del intestino y su microbiota.

Cada vez se sabe más de la relación entre la microbiota –el conjunto de bacterias que viven en nuestro intestino– y la salud. Pero ¿sabías que su estado también tiene mucho que ver con nuestro bienestar mental? ¿Que existen unas sustancias llamadas psicobióticos, presentes en ciertos alimentos, que pueden ayudarte a sentir menos ansiedad, tristeza o irritación? ¿Que en función de cómo cuidas de las bacterias que viven en tu intestino podrías estar ayudando a tu cuerpo a prevenir enfermedades como la depresión?

¿Cuál es el peor miedo al que te has enfrentado durante el embarazo?

Es natural que al recibir la noticia pases de la emoción a un mar de preguntas y cuidados basados en creencias populares o experiencias ajenas. Todos te dan consejos sin que se los pidas y son más los mitos que las verdades. Por eso Emily Oster, destacada economista, se dio a la tarea de investigar a profundidad las opiniones sobre el embarazo y comprobar la veracidad de estas. Ella descubrió información basada en estudios científicos que te liberará de muchos pensamientos y hábitos errados desde las primeras semanas de gestación hasta el parto. Por ejemplo, tomar café no afecta en el desarrollo de tu bebé, puedes comer jamón serrano sin preocupaciones y beber una copa de vino al día no te hará daño. Llegó la hora de dejar de consultar a Google y de vivir el embarazo sin angustias.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“Emily Oster is the non-judgmental girlfriend holding our hand and guiding us through pregnancy and motherhood. She has done the work to get us the hard facts in a soft, understandable way.” —Amy Schumer

What to Expect When You're Expecting meets Freakonomics: an award-winning economist disproves standard recommendations about pregnancy to empower women while they're expecting. From the author of Cribsheet and The Family Firm, a data-driven decision making guide to the early years of parenting

Pregnancy—unquestionably one of the most pro­found, meaningful experiences of adulthood—can reduce otherwise intelligent women to, well, babies. Pregnant women are told to avoid cold cuts, sushi, alcohol, and coffee without ever being told why these are forbidden. Rules for prenatal testing are similarly unexplained. Moms-to-be desperately want a resource that empowers them to make their own right choices.

When award-winning economist Emily Oster was a mom-to-be herself, she evaluated the data behind the accepted rules of pregnancy, and discovered that most are often misguided and some are just flat-out wrong. Debunking myths and explaining everything from the real effects of caffeine to the surprising dangers of gardening, Expecting Better is the book for every pregnant woman who wants to enjoy a healthy and relaxed pregnancy—and the occasional glass of wine.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Dietary science is on the move. For decades, people were wrongly focused on reducing fat and calories, whereas we now know that the real trouble-makers are the foods that deregulate our blood sugar levels.

In writing both clear and empathetic, biochemist Jessie Inchauspé explains why blood sugar spikes are so bad for us and how to flatten those spikes to transform our health.

By analysing decades of research and running thousands of original experiments on herself wearing a continuous glucose monitor, she has distilled 10 simple and surprising hacks that can be easily incorporated into everyday life.

By the end of this book, you'll be aware of how food impacts your biology. You'll know which breakfast choices may be causing your cravings, in which order you should eat the food on your plate, what not to do on an empty stomach, which foods lead to mood swings, and how to avoid being sleepy at 3pm. You'll evolve the way you eat, take control of your health, and your life will flourish.

Las dietas modernas, especialmente aquellas sin gluten, cetogénicas o ricas en verduras de hoja verde, tienden a estar sobrecargadas de oxalatos, unas toxinas químicas que muchas plantas producen para defenderse y que en grandes cantidades pueden resultar muy perjudiciales para la salud. 

De hecho, alimentos saludables como espinacas, boniatos, cúrcuma, semillas de chía, frambuesas y almendras, tienen un contenido de oxalatos especialmente alto. Por ejemplo, un smoothie de espinacas hecho con leche de almendras contiene 800-1.000 mg de oxalatos, cuando una cantidad segura es la de 250 mg al día. 

La sobrecarga de estas toxinas en nuestro organismo puede provocar cálculos renales, pero también problemas intestinales, dolor articular, inflamación, infertilidad, enfermedades autoinmunitarias, depresión, trastornos del sueño, osteoporosis, fatiga crónica y niebla mental. 

En estas páginas encontrarás las claves para cambiar tu alimentación sin que deje de ser saludable; un plan fundamentado en la investigación científica, acompañado de tablas que identifican los alimentos problemáticos y sus posibles alternativas, estrategias de apoyo para eliminar el exceso de oxalatos de nuestro cuerpo, así como sugerencias de suplementos que nos ayudarán a recuperarnos. 

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 

An acclaimed nutrition educator reveals how the foods you’re eating to get healthy might be making you sick. 

 “Sally Norton’s well-researched book makes a truly important contribution to the literature in revealing just how much oxalates can damage the human body.”—Nina Teicholz, author of The Big Fat Surprise 

If you’re eating a healthy diet and you’re still dealing with fatigue, inflammation, anxiety, recurrent injuries, or chronic pain, the problem could be your spinach, almonds, sweet potatoes, and other trusted plant foods. And your key to vibrant health may be quitting these so-called superfoods. 

After suffering for decades from chronic health problems, nutrition educator Sally K. Norton, MPH, discovered that the culprits were the chemical toxins called oxalates lurking within her “healthy,” organic plant-heavy diet. She shines light on how our modern diets are overloaded with oxalates and offers fresh solutions including: 

• A complete, research-backed program to safely reverse your oxalate load 

• Comprehensive charts and resources on foods to avoid and better alternatives 

• Guidance to improve your energy, optimize mood and brain performance, and find true relief from chronic pain

In this groundbreaking guide, Norton reveals that the popular dictum to “eat more plants” can be misleading. Toxic Superfoods gives health-seekers a chance for improved energy, optimum brain performance, graceful aging, and true relief from chronic pain.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

ALERGIA: Una enfermedad tan común como desconocida

De un tiempo a esta parte, los estornudos, la congestión nasal, los picores o el enrojecimiento de ojos se han instalado en nuestra vida y cada vez son más las personas que los sufren. Pero ¿qué ha causado este boom? ¿Por qué una de cada cuatro personas sufre esta patología? 

Considerada la nueva epidemia no infecciosa de nuestros tiempos, es una de las seis patologías más frecuentes del mundo y en torno a ella abundan los mitos y el desconocimiento, como creer que las alergias se pueden curar, que si no tienes síntomas eres igualmente alérgico o confundir alergia con intolerancia. Respiratorias, alimentarias, a los medicamentos, de la piel o a los insectos son las que más afectan actualmente a la población y por las que solemos recurrir al alergólogo.

En este libro, la doctora Paula Ribó recoge todo el saber acumulado a lo largo de sus años de formación, investigación y práctica médica para desmontar estas falsas creencias. Cuándo y por qué aparecen las reacciones alérgicas, qué factores pueden influir en su desarrollo y cuáles son los síntomas más habituales según su tipología son algunas de las preguntas a las que da respuesta en estas páginas.

Asimismo, expone las causas más frecuentes que pueden desencadenar una reacción grave y cómo actuar ante una anafilaxia o un shock anafiláctico.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The first accessible book to help you understand, prevent and combat allergic diseases. ALLERGIES: A disease as common as it is unknown.

Sneezing, nasal congestion, itching or redness of the eyes have settled in our lives for some time now, and more and more people are suffering from them. What caused this boom? Why does one in four people suffer from this pathology?

Considered the new non-infectious epidemic of our times, allergies are one of the six most frequent pathologies in the world, and still, myths and ignorance abound around it, such as believing that allergies can be cured, that if you do not have symptoms you are equally allergic as someone who does, or confusing allergy with intolerance. Respiratory allergies, food allergies, allergies to medications, skin or insects currently affect the population the most.

In this book, Dr. Paula Ribó collects all the knowledge accumulated throughout her years of training, research and medical practice to dismantle these false beliefs. When and why allergic reactions appear, what factors can influence their development, and what are the most common symptoms according to their type are some of the questions answered in these pages.

In her book, she also explains the most common causes that can trigger a serious reaction and how to act in the event of anaphylaxis or anaphylactic shock.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

¿Tienes un dolor persistente y por más que vayas al médico y sigas paso a paso su tratamiento, no mejoras? ¿Te acaban de diagnosticar una enfermedad y no puedes comprender por qué ha llegado a tu vida de esta manera y en este momento? Los malestares pueden ser físicos, pero también tienen un importante factor emocional que solo se puede entender con un enfoque integral. Los dolores y padecimientos son maneras en las que nuestro organismo nos indica que hay sentimientos, traumas y relaciones que no hemos logrado procesar y que requieren de nuestra atención.

Un cuerpo sano requiere una mente sana y un alma en paz. Carolina Novoa, health coach y biosanadora emocional, te muestra cómo sanar es un proceso holístico que está en tus manos si escuchas las enseñanzas que trae cada enfermedad. Este libro te invita a explorar en lo más profundo de ti y a enfrentarte con aquello que tu mente ha querido callar pero que tu cuerpo no deja de gritar.

“Creo que por más especialistas que seamos en el campo del estudio de la ciencia, entre más disposición tengamos de integrar desde la razón, la conciencia, el pensamiento transversal sin estructura y disruptivo, podremos avanzar hacia otras fronteras del conocimiento. Eso es precisamente lo que nos plantea Carolina en su libro”.

Dr. Carlos Jaramillo

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Western nations are worried about the problems of an ageing population. But if we take into account the health trends in younger generations, we arrive at a frightening prediction: for the first time in history, we have produced a generation that may not outlive its parents.

Like a growing number of doctors throughout the developed world, general practitioner Carole Hungerford became concerned about these trends, and began to question a health industry based on a model of ‘curing disease’.

The result is Good Health in the 21st Century, an encyclopaedic health guide that provides an extraordinary amount of easily understood information and a radically different way of maintaining well-being. Rejecting the routine cocktails of medication, with their complicated interactions and side effects, Dr Hungerford shows how to provide a chance for minerals, vitamins, and essential fatty acids to do their health-giving work.

The subjects covered in Good Health in the 21st Century include asthma, arthritis, cancer, obesity, and cardiovascular disease; mental health and neurological disorders; hormone-replacement therapy and vaccination; and macronutrients and minerals, vitamins, and essential fatty acids.

This monumental work will be used by parents, patients, and doctors for years to come.

La naturaleza de los músculos es la misma en el cuerpo que en el rostro: o se usan o se pierden. Y debemos aprender a usarlos bien para evitar arrugas indeseadas.

Izumi Forasté Onuma, especialista en las últimas tendencias de belleza y autocuidado provenientes de Japón, recopila en este libro 40 ejercicios de yoga facial que podrás adaptar a tus necesidades para trabajar distintas zonas del rostro, así como rutinas específicas para realzar tu belleza de forma totalmente natural. Dedica unos minutos cada día a cuidarte con ejercicios para descongestionar bolsas y ojeras, levantar los párpados y abrir la mirada, suavizar arrugas del entrecejo o alrededor de los labios, realzar el óvalo del rostro…, y descubre los increíbles resultados del yoga facial a las pocas semanas de práctica.

¿Por qué me duele la cabeza? ¿Qué me quiere comunicar ese dolor? ¿Qué puedo hacer para mejorar mi calidad de vida si sufro de cefaleas? ¿Qué tiene que ver la alimentación con todo esto? ¿Cómo puedo manejar la migraña? ¿Me voy a curar de esto algún día? 

La cefalea y la migraña, al igual que todas las enfermedades, tienen raíces fisiológicas y emocionales. Por eso en este libro se une el conocimiento de la biosanadora y Health Coach Carolina Novoa con la experiencia en el manejo de este tipo de dolencias del médico neurólogo Leonardo Bello. Juntos entregan todas las claves y herramientas para que puedas aprender a manejar este tipo de dolores, a partir de información clara y real, el cambio de hábitos y ejemplos de casos específicos, entre ellos el de la propia Carolina. 

Los estudios más recientes de The Journal of Headache and Pain indican que el 52 % de la población mundial sufre de dolor de cabeza y el 14 % de migrañas, lo cual quiere decir que la cefalea y la migraña son la segunda y la tercera enfermedad con mayor prevalencia en el mundo, según la revista médica The Lancet. 

Tu salud está en tus manos. Deja de ser una estadística y que tu vida no sea un dolor de cabeza. 

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 

The worst lie we’ve been told is that we should learn how to live with pain. Say goodbie to migraine with the help of this book. 

Why does my head hurt? What is that pain telling me? Will I ever feel better? Migraines and headaches, like most illnesses, have physiological and emotional roots. In this book, health coach and bio-healer Carolina Novoa and Dr. Leonardo Bello give readers all the tools so they can learn how to manage this kind of pain, based on real information about changing one’s habits. 

Research shows that over 50% of people suffer from headaches and around 14% from migraines, placing them as the second and third most prevalent illnesses worldwide. 

Your health is in your hands. Stop being a statistic; may your life not be a headache.

A holistic guide to the stresses that wear us down and the simple changes we can make to lead happier, healthier, and more resilient lives.

Life has never been more stressful. It is no coincidence that chronic degenerative disorders such as cancer, heart disease, autoimmune illnesses, and mental-health conditions are on the rise. But if we want to tackle them, we need to look beyond their symptoms. That is the message of dentist and health advocate Dr Ron Ehrlich.

He explores why public-health campaigns are so confusing and often contradictory, and what role the food and pharmaceutical industries play in our healthcare system. It’s a story that’s easy to miss but difficult to ignore. He then untangles how problems in one part of the body are intimately connected to the whole, and how we as individuals are inextricably linked to our own environment. Ehrlich redefines the stresses that affect us in our modern world, and shows how to strengthen the five pillars — sleep, breathing, nutrition, movement, and thought — that support our health.

A Life Less Stressed will help you develop a broader understanding of the challenges we face today and empower you to take control, build resilience, and be the best you can be.

A long-overdue reckoning with widespread lies about diets and weight loss

After years of failed diets, Dr Nadja Hermann weighed 150 kg at the age of 30. All her life, she had heard and read about hundreds of reasons why diets wouldn’t work for her. But when her weight started to seriously affect her health, she took a hard look at the science and realised that most of what she believed about dieting was a myth. What was more, those very myths were preventing her from losing weight.

Forget clean eating, paleo, or fasting—it was conquering these elements of ‘Fat Logic’ that finally led to Hermann achieving a healthy weight. One and a half years later, she weighed 65 kg, and has maintained that weight to this day. Now, using humour, the insight she’s acquired, and a dose of science, Hermann debunks widespread lies about weight loss, and shows how it is possible to attain a healthy weight.

Technology infiltrates our lives so rapidly that few of us stop to consider the potential health implications. Yet could the technology designed to improve our lives actually be making us sick?

Scientists have long believed that there is a link between health problems and radiation from mobile phones, wireless connections, powerlines, and electronic devices. Radiation has been linked to issues such as depression, fatigue, miscarriages, childhood leukaemia, and even brain tumours.

In The Force, Lyn McLean shows us why electropollution is among the most important health issues of our time. Examining research from around the world, she explains how and why we are all at risk and offers practical, easy-to-understand advice for homeowners, parents, and employees wanting to reduce their exposure at home and in the workplace.

This edition includes developments from 2011 to 2015.

The answer to all questions about aging and nutrition.

When science journalist Bas Kast collapsed with chest pains when he was only 40, he was faced with an existential question: had he ruined his health with junk food?

He decided to radically change his eating habits in order to heal himself. But what is really good for you? This was the beginning of a journey of discovery into the latest research into aging and nutrition—and it lasted several years.

What do people with a particularly long life span eat? How can you lose weight efficiently? Are afflictions typical of old age avoidable? Can you “eat yourself young” with certain foods? Much of what we think is healthy can even be harmful. Bas Kast has compared thousands of sometimes contradictory studies to deliver scientifically founded findings about what really makes for healthy eating.

The Swedish bestseller that will revolutionize the way you treat your skin.

Beautiful, healthy skin is a holy grail for teens with acne and adults with wrinkles alike, and multi-step beauty routines are all the rage. But we know surprisingly little about our largest organ.

Think drinking water will replenish your skin? Think again. More products, better skin? Nope. And an expensive product doesn’t guarantee reliable results. You don’t need to cleanse your skin in the morning; in fact, too much cleansing can be damaging. Toner is redundant, natural products are not always best, and bacteria are not the enemy—and that’s just the beginning!

A leading sleep scientist on how to have the best nap you’ve ever had.

Saved by the Siesta explains how siestas work and the remarkable role they can play in overcoming the destructive effects on the brain and the body of a shortage of sleep—for a siesta is like a night’s sleep in miniature.

A daytime nap fulfils all the same functions as a night’s sleep—hormonal, purifying, curative, consolidating, and reinvigorating. It also has the same therapeutic values: it helps us to combat sleepiness, pain, depression, weak immunity, stress, hypertension, excess weight, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

But to take advantage of all this we need to be aware of the siesta’s subtleties: its various types; the correct body position to adopt; the times that are conducive to sleeping; the most effective duration; the stages of sleep that heighten awareness, cognitive performance, memory, and creativity; and how to getting to sleep quickly and wake up without feeling sleepy.

Saved by the Siesta provides all this information, and more. It is a lucid and accessible synthesis of the science of sleep, as well as a practical guide to the taking of naps to overcome disturbed night-time sleep.

A handbook for women who want to understand their hormones and transform their lives.

A fly-on-the-wall account of the herd-immunity strategy that Sweden adopted during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In the spring of 2020, as a new and deadly virus spread across the globe rapidly, the world shut down. But a small country in Northern Europe remained open. The Swedish Covid-19 strategy was alternately lauded and held up as a cautionary tale by international governments and journalists alike—with all eyes on what has been dubbed “The Swedish Experiment”. But what made Sweden take such a different path?

In The Herd, journalist Johan Anderberg narrates the improbable story of a small nation that took a startlingly different approach to fighting the greatest global pandemic in over one hundred years. First, the government instituted no restrictions. Then, it declined to order the wearing of face masks. While the rest of the world looked on with incredulity, condemnation, admiration, and even envy, Sweden stood alone.

But The Herd is more than just a look at the evolution of the singular Swedish Covid-19 strategy. With remarkable ease, Anderberg guides the reader through the history of epidemiology, R0-rates, inoculation, and international organizations and collaborations. He also presents a colorful cast of characters and the ticking-clock decisions they were faced with on a daily basis.

“The Herd is a thrilling read about tight-knit groups of microbiologists and epidemiologists, old grudges, new alliances, and fiery emails… Anderberg is ambitious, knowledgeable, and fearless.”
—Dagens Nyheter

“The Herd is exemplary journalism of the kind that comes close to the truth through skilled craftsmanship. Anderberg portrays the events in the right order. He relies on relevant facts. He puts the last year in a historical context. He examines without preconceived opinions… Anderberg’s book is like a Corona commission in its own right and a beautiful example of the important role journalism plays in the service of the truth.”
—Barometern

“Reading Johan Anderberg’s book is not just a way to get perspective and background, detailed descriptions of how the Swedish strategy was formed and what it led to. It is also a way to be released from the debate, both in social and other media. It is extremely cooling. The Herd is no debate book; it is a nuanced report from an incredibly strange time. So strange you need help finding the words to talk about it.”
—Aftonbladet

“Journalist Johan Anderberg makes a brave effort to tell the story about how Sweden chose its path through the pandemic … Anderberg’s narrative has an effortless ease that manifests itself once the writer has a clear overview, and truly masters his subject without getting sidetracked and stuck on details.”
—Sydsvenskan

“Anderberg masters to perfection the societal reportage that closely examines the authorities, effortlessly taking us into the meeting rooms and email inboxes where the Swedish Corona strategy took shape. With efficiency and humor, he visualizes his protagonists … In a climate where media personalities—myself included—often acted as supporters, critics, and hobby epidemiologists, Anderberg has instead buried himself in facts and tried to paint the overall picture… Questions remain after having finished reading The Herd, but this in no way takes away the honor of having accomplished this impressive pioneering work with such energy and wit from Johan Anderberg. The Herd is sure to greatly impact the debate that we’ve only seen the nascent beginnings of so far.”
—Expressen

Not so long ago, in a small island nation in the South Pacific, beekeepers produced a most peculiar honey. It was much darker than the clover honey everyone put on their toast in the morning, and it tasted very different. In fact, the honey was a problem: it was hard to get out of the combs, and even harder for beekeepers to sell.

Today that honey, manuka from New Zealand, is known around the world. It fetches high prices, and beekeepers do everything in their power to produce as much of it as possible. Wound dressings containing manuka honey are used in leading hospitals, and it has saved the lives of patients infected with disease-causing bacteria that are resistant to standard antibiotic drugs. In so doing it has forced the medical profession to rethink its position on the therapeutic properties of natural products.

This book chronicles the remarkable rags-to-riches story of manuka honey, as seen through the eyes of a New Zealand beekeeping specialist who watched it unfold from the very beginning. Its a great tale of science, in which an inquisitive university lecturer found something totally unexpected in a product everyone had written off. Its also an entertaining account of the way that seemingly simple discovery caught the international medias attention, helping enterprising New Zealanders to develop manuka honey-based products and take them all around the globe.

Hoy, más que nunca, vivimos en condiciones de extrema comodidad. Nunca nos quedamos sin comida, no sufrimos temperaturas extremas y nuestro principal reto es alcanzar y mantener una relativa estabilidad. Sin embargo, este estilo de vida podría ser la principal causa de todos nuestros males físicos y mentales.

En este libro, el galardonado periodista Michael Easter emprende un viaje en solitario a una de las zonas más salvajes del planeta para descubrirnos un gran secreto de nuestro bienestar: la incomodidad.

A lo largo de su viaje se cruzará con ermitaños, aventureros, monjes y científicos que le desvelarán una de las grandes paradojas que rige nuestras vidas: por qué alejarnos del confort nos sienta tan bien. Desde las prácticas ancestrales japonesas que utilizan los atletas de élite hasta los ritos iniciáticos de las tribus más aisladas del mundo, pasando por los últimos avances de la neurociencia sobre el cansancio y la ansiedad. 

La trampa del confort demuestra por qué exponernos a condiciones límite puede ayudarnos a reconectar con nuestra naturaleza más primitiva y alcanzar así una vida más saludable y placentera.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Discover the evolutionary mind and body benefits of living at the edges of your comfort zone and reconnecting with the wild"—from the New York Times bestselling author of Scarcity Brain.

“If you’ve been looking for something different to level up your health, fitness, and personal growth, this is it.”—Melissa Urban, Whole30 CEO and author of The Book of Boundaries

“Michael Easter’s genius is that he puts data around the edges of what we intuitively believe. His work has inspired many to change their lives for the better.”—Dr. Peter Attia, author of Outlive

In many ways, we’re more comfortable than ever before. But could our sheltered, temperature-controlled, overfed, underchallenged lives actually be the leading cause of many our most urgent physical and mental health issues? In this gripping investigation, award-winning journalist Michael Easter seeks out off-the-grid visionaries, disruptive genius researchers, and mind-body conditioning trailblazers who are unlocking the life-enhancing secrets of a counterintuitive solution: discomfort.

Easter’s journey to understand our evolutionary need to be challenged takes him to meet the NBA’s top exercise scientist, who uses an ancient Japanese practice to build championship athletes; to the mystical country of Bhutan, where an Oxford economist and Buddhist leader are showing the world what death can teach us about happiness; to the outdoor lab of a young neuroscientist who’s found that nature tests our physical and mental endurance in ways that expand creativity while taming burnout and anxiety; to the remote Alaskan backcountry on a demanding thirty-three-day hunting expedition to experience the rewilding secrets of one of the last rugged places on Earth; and more.
 
Along the way, Easter uncovers a blueprint for leveraging the power of discomfort that will dramatically improve our health and happiness, and perhaps even help us understand what it means to be human. 

The Comfort Crisis is a bold call to break out of your comfort zone and explore the wild within yourself.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A unique work that explains the most common mental disorders, while offering tools to learn about treatments and ask for help when you sense that something is not right.

It is estimated that almost one billion people in the world are affected by some mental disorder: anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, eating disorders or addictive behaviors, among others. This broad diagnostic spectrum is born from the confluence of biological, psychological and social factors, and is gaining more presence and visibility in our communities. Fortunately, awareness and prevention of them have also increased. Understanding it entails a journey of discovery into the foundations and architecture of psychiatry today, which is finally freeing itself from old taboos and stigmas.

This illustrated guide stands as a useful tool to achieve a greater understanding of the human psyche and a more empathetic look at all those affected by a psychiatric disorder and their environment. A unique and enjoyable work designed to accompany any reader through the winding paths of this labyrinth and give them the notions to ask for help when they sense that something is not right. All of this is written with the most scrupulous respect for patients and professionals.

Sixty percent of Americans live with at least one chronic health condition and over a lifetime, many people will face multiple surgeries or life-changing diagnoses. A scary diagnosis can be overwhelming, launching patients and their loved ones into a world of fear, uncertainty, and complexity. Scary Diagnosis is a uniquely compassionate and empowering book that helps patients, families, and caregivers navigate the emotional and practical challenges that follow a serious medical diagnosis.

Author Edward Rogoff draws on his own experience with chronic illness and shares compelling stories from others who have faced similar journeys. Through these narratives, he reveals how individuals can move from fear to strength, advocate for themselves, and navigate the healthcare system, while maintaining their sense of control and dignity.

Scary Diagnosis is filled with real-life examples and valuable perspectives to help readers approach the challenges ahead with resilience and determination.

Sleep apnoea is one of the most dangerous and least understood of sleep disorders. But it’s one everyone should be talking about, not least because its main symptom causes the biggest battle in the bedroom: snoring.

Apnoea means the temporary cessation of breathing, and that’s serious. It impacts the oxygen getting into your body, which affects the whole body, and puts your brain and heart particularly at risk. It’s a (not-so-) silent epidemic.

The impact is devastating. Lack of sleep affects how we function: physically, mentally, and emotionally. And because snoring is so disruptive, the problem can be just as serious for the partner as for the snorer themselves.

You deserve better – and so does your partner. Discover how to solve sleep apnoea and change everything.

Dr Michael Oko is a leading consultant ENT specialist. He worked as an advisor on OSA for the Department of Health and in 2023 became a founding member of the All-Parliamentary Working Group as the ENTUK representative to advise the House of Lords and Parliament on sleep apnoea.

El gran libro de referencia para combatir las 15 causas de muerte prematura.

La gran mayoría de muertes prematuras podrían prevenirse con tan solo llevar a cabo sencillos cambios en la dieta y en el estilo de vida.

En Comer para no morir, el doctor Michael Greger, experto en nutrición y médico de fama mundial, analiza las quince primeras causas de muerte (enfermedades cardiovasculares, distintos tipos de cáncer, diabetes, enfermedad de Parkinson o hipertensión arterial, entre otras) y explica cómo algunos cambios en la alimentación y el estilo de vida pueden ser más eficaces que las pastillas u otros tratamientos farmacológicos y quirúrgicos para vivir una vida más saludable.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The great reference book to combat the 15 causes of premature death.

The vast majority of premature deaths could be prevented by simple dietary and lifestyle changes. 

In How Not to Die, Dr. Michael Greger, a world-renowned nutrition expert and physician, discusses the top fifteen causes of death (cardiovascular disease, different types of cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, high blood pressure, and more) and explains how some dietary and lifestyle changes can be more effective than pills or other drug and surgical treatments for living a healthier life.

A sympathetic and enlightening exploration of physical, emotional and spiritual pain and what we can learn from it, written by experienced psychologist and author of Bridges Between Life and Death, Iris Paxino.

People today strive to live as pain-free a life as possible, treating both physical pain and emotional suffering with a range of medical and alternative therapies. But in our efforts to avoid pain, are we excluding an important part of our human experience?

In this sensitive and thoughtful book, psychologist Iris Paxino explores different kinds of pain and the ways in which each affects us: from the physical pain of illness and injury, through the emotional suffering caused by loss and deprivation, to the spiritual pain experienced in moments of doubt when we struggle with meaning in our lives. Paxino also discusses the history of pain, the impact of chronic pain and treatment methods including behavioral techniques and anthroposophic therapies.

While pain should always be treated, Paxino argues that when we learn to accept it as an inescapable part of being human we develop resilience and inner peace as well as compassion for others.

This book could save your relationship, your job, your health, and even your life.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Una guía para crear relaciones afectivo-sexuales seguras y responsables en la era de la tecnología y la inmediatez.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The book with which you will finally learn to feed yourself to feel at your maximum energy.

Are you tired of feeling permanently drained and drained of energy? Did you know that knowing yourself is key to choosing the food that will vitalize you? From the integrative vision of the two cultures, the Western and the Eastern, we will learn to better choose the foods that surround us and to use them strategically to maintain our health and energy, prevent the main diseases and heal ourselves.

Gemma Hortet introduces you to energy nutrition, the nutrition of common sense, which takes into account what you are like, where you live, what you do for a living and what moment in life you are in. It will help you lay the foundations to start a new way of eating, more aligned with yourself to face your daily challenges and avoid the chronic fatigue that is the protagonist of the 21st century.

In addition, you will learn ancestral cooking techniques and know what is best to eat as you find energy to feel young and with vitality no matter how old you are.

Stop Eating Yourself Sick. Take Control Of Your Health.

The United States will not be able to afford metabolic syndrome, a combination of disorders including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, elevated cholesterol and fatty liver—all of this is caused by poor eating habits. This could be a potentially fatal epidemic if not controlled, and most importantly, it can significantly impact the health of your children. If present trends continue, an American has a 57 percent chance of being obese at the age of thirty-five.

So, what’s the solution?

Joseph S. Galati, MD, has decades of experience researching and studying the effects of poor eating habits. After witnessing so many patients with metabolic syndrome, he wrote Eating Yourself Sick: How to Stop Obesity, Fatty Liver, and Diabetes from Killing You and Your Kids to raise awareness of the health issue that’s sweeping across the United States. In this book, you’ll learn:

• The symptoms and challenges of metabolic syndrome
• How family structure is critical to your physical well-being
• Different diets and food choices that can prevent and treat diseases
• The importance of exercise in the face of metabolic syndrome

Now is a time to take charge of your well-being, whether you’re maintaining good health, or striving to achieve it. Dr. Galati seeks to give you the knowledge you need to defeat metabolic syndrome, and live a happy, healthy life.

However, if dental health isn’t maintained, it can lead to severe, preventable consequences like infection and chronic pain. Your dental health is vital to not only your personal wellness, but your overall well-being. For something so important, your experience should be one you look forward to and anticipate. You deserve a dental practice that exists in a category apart from all the rest—a “category of one.” Drs.

Here Be Dragons is the true story of what happens when you are bold enough to try to transform a hidebound, multi-trillion-dollar industry. Today, millions of people benefit from accessible, affordable healthcare at walk-in clinics close to their homes and businesses that Web Golinkin and a small number of others pioneered. They are open seven days a week, with extended weekday hours, and provide high-quality basic healthcare at reasonable prices that are transparently presented. During the pandemic, almost everyone in the United States benefited from the access to COVID-19 testing and vaccinations that these clinics provided.

But retail clinics did not emerge without a fight. They faced strong opposition from the medical establishment, overly restrictive government regulations, and skeptical third-party payers. They also faced consumers who were conditioned to believe that quality healthcare could only be delivered in in an office or a hospital on someone else’s schedule and without having any idea of its cost. The system needed to be disrupted, and Web Golinkin was one of a relatively small number of people who were able to do it.

However, this is not a book about unbridled success. Like many hero’s journeys, Web’s story is filled with bumps, bruises, and a few dragons along the way. Web began his journey by focusing on health information, starting the first 24-hour Cable TV network dedicated to health, America’s Health Network, which was eventually sold to Fox. He then helped to revolutionize healthcare with RediClinic, which placed medical clinics inside drug, grocery and big box stores and was later sold to Rite Aid. Web is currently the CEO of FastMed, one of the nation’s largest operators of urgent care clinics.

The fact that walk-in clinics are now a permanent part of the healthcare landscape is evidence of success, but getting to this point was a wild and frequently very rough ride. Partially a story about the challenges of changing healthcare, and partially about creating new business models and leading organizations through challenging times, Here Be Dragons makes for fascinating reading on multiple levels.

I'm tired all the time, no matter how much I exercise, I can't seem to lose weight, my hair's falling out, and overall I just feel blah." If so, it is essential that you explore the very real possibility that indeed, you do have hypothyroidism.

Dr. Hotze has been on a mission to get this message into the hands of women and men, particularly those in midlife, for more than 20 years. The answers you will find in this book about the signs, symptoms and treatment of low thyroid conditions are no longer a part of the conventional medical approach to hypothyroidism. Inside, you will learn:
The historical basis for identifying and treating hypothyroidism
Underlying causes of hypothyroidism
Clinical signs and symptoms that may mean you have hypothyroidism
The little-used thyroid blood test that identifies thyroid disorders in spite of a "normal" TSH
Other individuals just like you who are now healthy, well, and thriving
Simple at-home test you can do as a starting point towards discovering if you have low thyroid
And more

By arming yourself with the information in this book you can take the first step towards restoring your health, transforming your life and improving your world.

Your Guide To Finding The Right Orthodontist For Your Child
Your child’s smile is important. Poorly aligned teeth or jaws can affect your child growing up around peers, and even into his or her careers as they age.

Med Spa Mayhem is a compelling and must-read book that delves deep into the often unforeseen dangers lurking within the medical spa industry. Dr. Kate Dee brings her extensive expertise and experience to the forefront, offering a critical examination of the growing trend of med spa treatments and the potential risks they can pose.

The book serves as both an exposé and a guide for anyone wishing to have med spa treatments. Dr. Dee begins by painting a vivid picture of the allure of medical spas, establishments that have become synonymous with luxury, relaxation, and the promise of enhanced beauty. However, as she peels back the layers, a different picture emerges—one of unregulated practices, inadequately trained practitioners, and a startling lack of oversight that can result in dangerous outcomes.

The book presents case studies and personal anecdotes that illustrate the severe consequences for patients suffering from negligent practices in med spas. These stories not only highlight physical harm and emotional trauma experienced by clients but also underscore the lack of accountability within the industry and lack of enforcement of existing law. Dr. Dee shows how these spas often prioritize profit over patient safety, leading to dangerous shortcuts and unethical practices.

Most importantly, Dr. Dee equips readers with practical advice on how to identify reputable med spas, understand the qualifications of practitioners, and make informed decisions about cosmetic treatments. She stresses the importance of consumer education in ensuring their own safety and satisfaction.

Med Spa Mayhem is not just a critique of the med spa industry; it's a compelling page-turner that empowers readers to demand and receive safe, ethical, and high-quality care in their pursuit of beauty. This book is essential reading for anyone considering med spa treatments, policymakers, and healthcare professionals alike.

1 in 4 people capable of giving birth will have an abortion in their lifetime.

Abortion is common. It’s everyday. It’s healthcare. Abortion is a moral choice for people who despite the shouting voices around them understand that they have the ability to control their fertility the way people with uteruses have for thousands of years and as they will continue to do for thousands of years to come, no matter the barriers thrown in their path. These people understand that being human means controlling the trajectory of their lives. When faced with a dangerous or unwanted pregnancy, they gather the strength to put away the self-serving opinions of others and listen to their hearts.

Undue Burden argues for these people and for abortion as a moral good using the framework of Reproductive Justice. It lays out why it’s no longer enough for us to say we’re pro-choice, but instead we must proudly proclaim to be pro-abortion. It illustrates how when we force people to continue pregnancies and bring children into the world without providing any of the support systems to help sustain them, we are creating conditions of misery. Through the lens of Reproductive Justice, Undue Burden explains why anti-abortion extremists actually want this misery to exist.

It's time to reclaim the moral high ground from the anti-abortion movement. Undue Burden utilizes the tools of Reproductive Justice to allow pro-abortion advocates to:

• Use Christian doctrine to refute extremist Christians
• Build intersectional coalitions between diverse groups
• Establish abortion care as necessary healthcare
• Center the voices of those most affected by anti-abortion laws: Black people, POC, Indigenous people, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ people, and the economically disadvantaged.
• Critique why “pro-choice” is no longer the way forward.
• Examine how and why abortion was criminalized in the first place.
• Understand the various forces of oppression including racism, ableism, misogyny, white supremacy, heteronormality, and how they intersect with the anti-abortion movement.

Author Dr. DeShawn Taylor tells stories of her life, medical training, and practice to center the everyday situations of everyday people struggling with forces outside their control like unaffordable childcare, lack of access to health care, insufficient paid time off, and unsafe communities. She argues that only when we reframe abortion as a social justice issue can we take back the moral high ground from the extremist Christians and “family values” politicians who have controlled the conversation for far too long.

Dr. Taylor shows that ensuring that all people have the right to not have children, have children, and to parent children in safe and healthy communities is the only way to remove the undue burdens that plague our most vulnerable communities.

Achieve emotional, physical and financial balance for total well being in retirement.
Nowhere are gender differences more prevalent than in the areas of money and
finance. Added to this are the complexities associated with women and
financial matters, and now, longevity is redefining retirement for women.
Women control over 60% of the wealth in this country, yet few financial
models consider the relevant issues specific to women— particularly in
understanding the impacts physical and emotional needs have on financial
wealth. Over 90% of women feel financially insecure and half of those women
report a fear of becoming financially destitute. Women are at greater
financial risk due to longer life expectancy, lesser earnings, care-giving
interruptions, and fewer retirement resources. Add to that, sudden life
events such as widowhood, divorce, and job loss, which can wreak havoc on
women’s emotional and financial health. This book discusses the need for life
planning and offers strategies for consideration for all women who desire to
be financially independent and experience optimal well being.Bajalia focuses
on the health/wealth connection to ensure women have a quality of life during
the various stages of their retirement lives. She provides a guide for
protecting and preserving the lifestyle we desire as women and shares
insights on the emotional, physical and financial balance required for a
dignified, empowering retirement. For women, IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT THE MONEY –
IT’S ABOUT TOTAL WELL BEING.
