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.

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.

Allan Peterkin’s previous books include One Thousand Beards: A Cultural History of Facial Hair, featured in Time, Esquire, and The New Yorker.

Nick Burns is one of the leading writers on men’s grooming; he has covered skin care, fashion, and health for publications including The New York Times, GQ, Details, and Out, and he is author of the popular men’s style blog HommeGrooming.com.

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
• How to test your gut health, track your progress, and fix what’s broken

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 

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.

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.

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

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.

The Price We Pay is the original English title of this work.

SEE MORE CLEARLY NATURALLY IN A WEEK

Like most people with poor vision, you probably believe your condition is hopeless and there’s nothing you can do except rely on stronger glasses every few years as your eyesight gets worse, followed by a disease such as cataracts or macular degeneration. 

Fortunately, there’s a better way. 

An elite group of eye care professionals known as behavioral optometrists have developed dozens of effective vision therapy eye exercises. These enhance the performance of the entire visual system, resulting in healthier, more relaxed eyes, naturally better eyesight, and a more satisfying lifestyle.

THE POWER VISION PROGRAM FOR BETTER EYESIGHT gives you the best of these exercises to restore vision, youthful appearance and more beautiful eyes.

Read this book and experience the following benefits:

• Increase Natural Focusing Power and Enjoy Freedom From Glasses and Contacts
• Experience Relaxed Vision With Less Eye Strain and Sensitivity to Bright Light and Screens
• Improve Dry Eyes, Myopia, Presbyopia, and Other Common Eye Ailments
• Stop Vision From Getting Worse and Reduce Risk of Degenerative Eye Diseases

If you’ve resigned yourself to a lifetime of inferior vision, there’s a new day dawning. A new freedom you never thought possible. A clearer, brighter future is only a few short weeks away!

CLINICALLY TESTED EYE EXERCISES

THE POWER VISION PROGRAM FOR BETTER EYESIGHT provides you with sixteen clinically tested eye exercises, divided into three modules. 

The first module — the Power Exercises — forms the dynamic core of the program and will give your entire visual system a good basic tune-up, like tuning up an engine. You will feel positive changes taking place in your eyes within a few days and will see the first signs of improvement in a week or so.

The second module — the Booster Exercises — is a set of stress-reduction techniques that will make your eyes feel wonderfully invigorated and relaxed. 

The third module — the Fusion Exercises — builds on the results obtained from the Power Exercises and will increase the range and flexibility of your focusing system. 

Spend at least 10 minutes a day doing as many of the exercises as possible. The more you do, the more improvement you’ll get and the sooner you’ll get it.

#1 New Release in Military Families

The Mindfulness for Warriors Handbook is a new and expanded edition of Mindfulness for Warriors, providing an additional valuable resource for first responders.

She offers the PauseFirst block of training to organizations across the country; teaching techniques that help reduce stress, regulate emotion, and improve overall health and well-being. Her work to bring awareness is a tribute to both her husband and the countless other first responders struggling with the realities of their jobs.

Inside find:

• Evidence-based practices to help first responders and families deal with stress
• Interviews with first responders who share stories of overcoming, surviving, and thriving
• Colegrove’s own raw and intimate story of her husband’s troubles and how she continues each day fighting in his memory

Plants, Essential Oils and Aromatherapy as Natural Remedies

“Trust your intuition, go with your instincts, and listen to your heart. By following these three simple guidelines, you’ll be able to craft healing, and more importantly, meaningful and inspired ideas to enrich your life.” ―Arin Murphy-Hiscock, author of The Herbal Alchemist's Handbook

The Herbal Healing Handbook is a spiritual guidebook for using plants, essential oils, aromatherapy, and other natural elements to treat ailments and help prevent illness.

Heal the natural way. In her latest work, bestselling author Cerridwen Greenleaf shares the healing power of plants, roots, herbs, essential oils, aromatherapy, and all things natural remedies.

Draw upon ancient knowledge. While health care debates rage all around us, one way to take good care of yourself and your loved ones is with the “kitchen cabinet cures” in this book. When our great grandmothers needed to attend to the cuts, bruises, colds, flu’s fevers and other illnesses their family suffered, they didn't have a corner drugstore. Instead, these wise women relied on simple wisdom, common sense, and pantries well stocked with herbal remedies. These preparations were made from plants that grew in the kitchen garden or wild weeds gathered outside. The Herbal Healing Handbook combines the wisdom of our elders with a modern kitchen herbalist’s sensibility.

In The Herbal Healing Handbook you will:

• Learn about natural remedies you can DIY
• Treat inflammation and pain
• Build energy
• Improve your attitude and mindset
• Gain key knowledge about plants, roots, essential oils and aromatherapy

If you enjoyed natural medicinal books like The Healing Power of Essential Oils, Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine, or The Green Witch, you’ll love The Herbal Healing Handbook.

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.
