There is a biological force within the body that wants you to live to old age. While conventionally this force is known in medicine as the immune system, Dr. Bob calls it: “The Biological Soul.”

The Biological Soul is designed to protect you and allow you to live a healthy life. This force is tangible, measurable, lives within the physical body and determines our age and wellbeing through life. It is physical and complex and, in many ways, spiritual. It is affected by life’s stresses, by diets, and by overall health and though not immortal; it both shapes your life and your life shapes it. 

IMMUNITY STRONG walks readers through how the immune system works, what makes it implode or keeps it safe and what modern science reveals about how it connects to every part of the body to keep it alive—as the seat of our “Biological Soul.” Written in Dr. Bob’s trade-mark down-to earth style, the book explains that the normal immune system functions like a police department protecting the body from harm. While as a nation we have recently been focused on the effects of infections, the book reveals that it is important to note that disorders of immunity are at the root of most diseases that shorten or impact our lives. From chronic pain and fatigue syndromes, heart disease and clogged arteries and even the ability to recognize and destroy cancer, to multiple sclerosis, lupus, celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune disorders are all linked to one or another glitch in the immune system.

The purpose of this book is to provide significant information on the incredible complexity of the immune system and how the integration of spiritual, scientific, and emotional values can enhance health. It is Dr. Bob’s hope that readers will find a new appreciation of the miracle that is the physical body and to understand the potential within our Biological Soul to promote longevity and overall happiness to life.

IMMUNITY STRONG: Boost Your Body's Natural Healing Power and Live to 100 is a must-read for anyone wishing to nurture and enhance their health.

The Medical Breakthrough of Chelation Therapy: A treatment that uses medicine to remove toxic metals from the body so they don't make you sick.

Chelation has long been approved by the FDA to rid the body of lead by using a synthetic amino acid (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid), which binds to toxic metals and minerals in the bloodstream, allowing a patient to excrete them. When metals like lead, mercury, iron, and arsenic build up in your body, they can be toxic. 

Alternative medical practitioners have used chelation for nearly 60 years, especially to treat heavy metal contamination that causes or contributes to heart disease. 

• Chelation rids the body of deposits that can lead to atherosclerosis, which causes coronary arteries to narrow, leading to heart attacks. 
• Patients have also found relief through chelation for improving the symptoms of autism. 
• One of the most promising areas of research is in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Because the buildup of metals like copper, iron, and zinc are thought to play a role in Alzheimer's disease, Chelation Therapy might have a place in treating it.

Full of hope-inspiring case histories, expert findings and where to find treatment, The Chelation Revolution: Breakthrough Detox Therapy shows how Chelation Therapy can alleviate suffering in numerous medical conditions and lead to a healthier, happier, and longer life.

Includes a Foreword by Tammy Born Huizenga, D.O., owner of the internationally recognized Born Clinic in Grand Rapids, MI, an internationally respected organization in preventive medicine with a speciality in Chelation Therapy.

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.

Cómo influyen las emociones, los pensamientos y la mente en tu alimentación.

La nutrióloga Mónica Hefferan explica cómo las emociones, los pensamientos y el amor propio son factores clave para hacer las paces con tu cuerpo.

Este no es un libro de dietas, más bien es uno en el que encontrarás la voz honesta y empática de la autora, quien ha encarnado la batalla de muchas mujeres con su imagen y su peso corporal. Una voz que se vulnera y que, tras superar un trastorno alimentario, comparte cómo le fue posible vivir con mayor autenticidad y plenitud.

Al igual que ella, vivirás un proceso de introspección y desarrollo personal. Te detendrás a preguntarte «¿Qué es lo que suelo pensar de mí misma?» y «¿Cómo me relaciono conmigo?». Con ello descubrirás que la forma en que sientes y te hablas está directamente relacionada con la manera en que te alimentas y metabolizas lo que comes. Del mismo modo, aprenderás que desde el autocuidado y el crecimiento espiritual es posible reconciliarte no solo con la comida, sino también —y principalmente— contigo misma, lo que cambiará por completo los resultados que anhelas para sentirte mejor con tu imagen.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

How Emotions, Thoughts, and the Mind Influence Your Eating Habits.

Nutritionist Mónica Hefferan explains how emotions, thoughts, and self-love are key factors in making peace with your body.

This is not a diet book; rather, it is one in which you will find the honest and empathetic voice of the author, who has embodied the struggle of many women with their body image and weight. It is a voice that reveals vulnerability and, after overcoming an eating disorder, shares how it became possible to live with greater authenticity and fulfillment.

Like her, you will go through a process of introspection and personal development. You will stop to ask yourself, "What do I usually think about myself?" and "How do I relate to myself?" Through this, you will discover that the way you feel and talk to yourself is directly related to how you eat and metabolize what you consume. Similarly, you will learn that through self-care and spiritual growth, it is possible to reconcile not only with food but also — and primarily — with yourself, which will completely change the results you desire to feel better about your image.

Descubre El poder de sanar, bajo la mirada implacable de la enfermedad y la muerte.

Hay un famoso dicho que reza: “Nadie se muere a la víspera”. Pero el Doctor Bayter, quien trabajó durante 20 años como médico intensivista en una Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos, está seguro de que no es así. Él cree con firmeza que la enfermedad y la muerte se construyen a partir de las decisiones que tomamos día a día, en especial a partir de los alimentos que llevamos a la boca, por dar placer a la lengua, pero que acaban con la capacidad autosanadora del cuerpo.

Las malas decisiones, que han llevado a que la humanidad crea que los carbohidratos deben ser la base principal de una “dieta saludable”, es lo que ha generado una explosión de personas con resistencia a la insulina, obesidad, hipertensión y diabetes, que resultan en infartos cerebrales y del miocardio, así como cada vez más pacientes con cáncer, enfermedad renal y hepática, entre muchos otros mortales diagnósticos.

Por eso en este libro hace un recorrido por todo el cuerpo humano y las patologías que se pueden generar, a menos de que nos empoderemos de nuestra salud, nos convirtamos en nuestros propios médicos y descubramos El poder de sanar, bajo la mirada implacable de la enfermedad y la muerte.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Discover The Power to Heal, under the relentless gaze of illness and death.

There is a famous saying that goes, "No one dies on the eve." But Dr. Bayter, who worked for 20 years as an intensivist in an Intensive Care Unit, is sure that this is not the case. He firmly believes that illness and death are built on the decisions we make every day, especially the foods we put in our mouths to please our taste buds, but which ultimately destroy the body's self-healing capacity. Poor decisions, which have led humanity to believe that carbohydrates should be the main base of a "healthy diet," have resulted in an explosion of people with insulin resistance, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes, leading to strokes and heart attacks, as well as an increasing number of patients with cancer, kidney disease, and liver disease, among many other deadly diagnoses. 

That is why in this book, he takes a journey through the human body and the pathologies that can develop unless we empower ourselves with our health, become our own doctors, and discover The Power to Heal, under the relentless gaze of illness and death.

HERRAMIENTAS Y CONSEJOS PARA ABORDAR LA ENFERMEDAD.

La demencia, más allá de una simple pérdida de memoria asociada a la vejez, representa un complejo conjunto de trastornos que afecta a la vida de quienes la padecen y supone un camino repleto de dudas y obstáculos para familiares y amigos. Este libro proporciona una completa mirada sobre los diferentes tipos de demencias, más allá del conocido alzhéimer, y revela cómo afectan y se manifiestan en cada persona.

Natalí Pintos, psicóloga experta en estas enfermedades degenerativas, ofrece estrategias concretas para que los cuidadores lidien con la demencia desde la compasión y la comprensión, y no desde una posición de hostilidad, con el objetivo de que conozcan los síntomas, acepten la «pérdida» de la persona y reconozcan y expresen su dolor.

A través de historias reales y consejos prácticos, estas páginas presentan una novedosa perspectiva que anima a los cuidadores a buscar apoyo y a cuidar de sí mismos mientras asisten a sus seres queridos.

Una mano amiga en forma de manual que brinda las herramientas necesarias para enfrentar la enfermedad con dignidad, amor y un entendimiento más profundo de sus desafíos y recompensas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

TOOLS AND ADVICE FOR ADDRESSING THE DISEASE

Dementia, beyond a simple memory loss associated with old age, represents a complex set of disorders that affects the lives of those who suffer from it and presents a path full of doubts and obstacles for family and friends. This book provides a comprehensive look at the different types of dementia, beyond the well-known Alzheimer's, and reveals how they affect and manifest in each person.

Natalí Pintos, a psychologist expert in these degenerative diseases, offers concrete strategies for caregivers to deal with dementia with compassion and understanding, rather than from a position of hostility, with the goal of recognizing symptoms, accepting the "loss" of the person, and acknowledging and expressing their grief.

Through real stories and practical advice, these pages present a novel perspective that encourages caregivers to seek support and take care of themselves while assisting their loved ones.

A helping hand in the form of a manual that provides the necessary tools to face the disease with dignity, love, and a deeper understanding of its challenges and rewards.

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

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.

Have you ever had a conversation in a healthcare setting and come away from it thinking… Say, WHAT?! In Communication in Healthcare: Charting the Course to Better Outcomes with Trust, Respect, and Teamwork, Dr. Anne-Marie Morse seeks to eliminate those “say, what?!” moments and improve clarity in communication between healthcare partners and patients.

Using a simple metaphor of a vehicle on a road for the wellness journey, Dr. Morse explains how to put the patient at the wheel, with the healthcare partner as the car’s GPS: Guiding Partner Specialist. Rather than patient-centered care, she advocates for patient-directed care, informed by mutual respect, accountability, and awareness of all parties involved in the wellness journey.

Each chapter addresses a different stage in the wellness journey, from preparing for a first appointment to handling the outcomes of test results. Throughout, Dr. Morse provides a diversity of case studies, told through fictional narrative anecdotes, that cover a wide range of patient populations, illnesses, and contexts. Through this lens, practitioners and patients of all kinds may be able to identify themselves—and, in finding moments of resonance, identify areas in which they can finetune their own healthcare communication.

The chapters are supplemented with practical resources, from communication checklists to emotional intelligence self-assessments. Tools are provided for both patients and healthcare partners, emphasizing the fact that good communication requires the active participation of all parties. Dr. Morse also addresses common hurdles that are bigger than any individual, articulating factors that can influence healthcare communication, from the media formats used to individual cultural, religious, and socio-economic situations.

Ultimately, Dr. Morse lays the groundwork for a brighter future for patients and healthcare partners, in which technology can supplement communication while never replacing the humanity that underscores communication best practices.

Reviving the teachings and practices of Swami Kripalu

“Richard Faulds brings Swami Kripalu alive in a book that illumines the breadth and depth of yoga.” —Stephen Cope, author, Yoga and the Quest for the True Self

Like the Indian sages in whose footsteps he walked, Swami Kripalu taught yoga as a wisdom tradition in which disciples maintain a close personal relationship to their guru and demonstrate their fitness to receive each level of its esoteric curriculum through the intensity of their study, practice, and devotion. He adopted this approach for an important reason, as the single-minded dedication it required was meant to bring forth the best from his top students, preserving yoga’s spiritual depth and enabling them to pass on its transformative potency. Yet this approach also had a downside in that it failed to make the full scope of his teachings accessible to a multitude of seekers unable to join his circle of intimates.

Swami Kripalu’s Yoga of Success and Self-Realization presents Swami Kripalu’s teachings in a contemporary framework that any reader can understand and put into practice. John Mundahl calls it “a clear, engaging writing style infused with stories.” Supplementing the narrative are extensive quotations, excerpts, and teaching stories that remain as close as possible to Swami Kripalu’s words. Every effort has been made to retain his distinctive voice and subtlety of expression. 

Yoga and ayurveda as keys for aging beautifully

While advanced age is revered by some, very few of us are in a hurry to get there. This guide treats physical well-being and spiritual growth as two sides of a coin. It is custom-crafted for midlife and later by addressing both eternal verities and physical health. Yoga, the time-honored philosophy of which headstands and downward-facing dogs are only a fragment, doesn’t sugarcoat: physical life will end and material joys, as lovely as they can be, are temporary. In acknowledging our true nature, the eternal divinity that is our essence, we have the best shot at well-being on every level.

This book explores spiritual awakening yoga-style, and the fundamentals of yoga’s sister science, ayurveda, for care of the body. No one is too young to take up these practices, and no one is too old either. Asana practice, the “physical exercise” component of the spiritual adventure of yoga, is fully adaptable to anybody of any age. And the mental and spiritual practices of yoga need no adaptations.

Age Like a Yogi not only gives the reader immediately applicable tools for spiritual awareness and physical health in the post-fifty decades, but also a way to leave this world kinder, safer, saner, and a little more beautiful.

A practical guide to understanding and using Mexican healing traditions in everyday life.

Arranging ofrendas. Brewing pericón into a healing tea. Releasing traumas through baños and limpias. Herbalist and curandera Atava Garcia Swiecicki spent decades gathering this traditional knowledge of curanderismo, Mexican folk healing, which had been marginalized as Chicanx and Latinx Americans assimilated to US culture. She teaches how to follow the path of the curandera, as she herself learned from apprenticing with Mexican curanderas, studying herbal texts, and listening to her ancestors. In this book readers will learn the Indigenous, African, and European roots of curanderismo. Atava also shares her personal journey as a healer and those of thirteen other inspirational curanderas serving their communities. She offers readers the tools to begin their own healing—for themselves, for their relationship with the earth, and for the people.

The Curanderx Toolkit includes more than 25 profiles of native and adopted plants of Baja and Alta California and teaches you to grow, know, and love them. This book will help anyone who has lost connection with their ancestors begin to incorporate the herbal wisdom and holistic wellness of curanderismo into their lives. Take the power of ancient medicine into your own hands by learning simple herbal remedies and practicing rituals for kinship with the more-than-human world.

"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!

Human beings have always moved for what they need until recently. We know how a lack of movement impacts our bodies but how does culture-wide sedentarism impact the world?

Movement Matters is an award-winning collection of essays in which biomechanist Katy Bowman continues her groundbreaking presentation on the interconnectedness of nature, human movement, and the environment.

Winner: Foreword Indies Book Award (Gold)

Here Bowman widens her there is more to movement than exercise message presented in Move Your DNA and invites us to consider this idea: human movement is a part of the ecosystem.

Movement Matters explores how we make ourselves, our communities, and our planet healthier all at the same time by moving our bodies more–as well as:

• How did we become so sedentary? (Hint: Convenience often saves us movement, not time.)
• the missing movement nutrients in our food
• how to include more nature in education
• why ecosystem models need to include human movement
• the human need for Vitamin Community and group movement

Unapologetically direct, often hilarious, and always compassionate, Movement Matters demonstrates that human movement is powerful and important, and that living a movement-filled life is perhaps the most joyful and efficient way to transform your body, community, and world. A must read for exercise teachers, environmentalists, and those wanting simple, accessible ways to take action for a better world.

As seen on the Today Show, Dynamic Aging isn’t that same old senior fitness, senior stretching, senior strength book you’ve seen again and again. This book is about using simple exercises to feel better and get back to living vitally no matter your age.

Don't blame your age if you're feeling creaky. It could just be the way you're using (or not using) your body. ―Washington Post on Dynamic Aging as a Book for the Ages

Movement is a powerful tool and changing how you move can change how you feel, no matter your age. Dynamic Aging is an exercise guide geared to an over 50 audience that includes:

• 30+ illustrated exercises
• Moves for pain-free feet and strong hips
• better balance and getting over the fear of falling
• how to improve sitting, standing, and walking posture
• go from stiff shoulders to arms that can reach, carry, and lift
• how to stay fit to drive
• tips for moving more in daily life

Alongside Bowman's exercise and alignment instructions are stories and advice of four women over seventy-five who began this program over a decade ago. Along the way they found recommended surgeries unnecessary, regained strength and mobility, and ended up moving more than they did when they were 10 years younger.

From hiking in the mountains to climbing ladders and walking on cobblestones with ease, each of these women embodies the book's message: No matter where you're starting, if you change how you move, you can change how you feel.

Bestselling Move Your DNA has shaken up the health and fitness world with this message: there is more to movement than exercise.

"A landmark in explaining biomechanics." Dr. Joan Vernikos, Former Director of NASA’s life science division and author of Sitting Kills, Moving Heals

It’s often said that "movement is medicine," but rarely is the how behind the power of movement explained. It’s not only our whole body that’s moving; our cells are being moved as our limbs push and pull to locomote us around, and each movement moves our cells uniquely.

Some of the "big ideas" in this paradigm-shifting book include:

• The human body evolved to a tremendous amount of certain movements―like walking, squatting, hanging, and carrying―loads our bodies still require to work well, even though they’re mostly gone from our "convenience-centric" culture.
• Many of the ailments we face today relate to how little we move and how stiff our bodies are when we do move. Body issues are often more accurately symptoms of "movement malnutrition."
• Why a physical therapist or personal trainer is coaching you in alignment or "good form": we’re adapting most to our daily positioning!
• It’s not only "move more," it’s "move more of your body parts!" (All bodies, couch potatoes to high-level athletes have areas that can be nourished with better movement.)
• We’re using exercise like "movement vitamins" instead of addressing the deeper issue of a poor movement diet. We should be using both!

2024 Foreword Indie Award Finalist

Create a personalized movement plan you love.

You’ve heard of the million benefits of movement, but you can’t make it work in your body or your own life.

• Maybe you move a lot at work, and your body is too tired to do the activities you used to enjoy.
• Maybe you’re an athlete with nagging injuries keeping you off your game.
• Maybe you want to move more but you don’t have the time—or can’t because moving hurts.

The best way to approach movement is to think of it like food—we need certain amounts of all different kinds for our bodies to be healthy. My Perfect Movement Plan helps you figure out exactly which types of movement you’re already getting, what you might be missing, and where to fit it into your daily life.

This workbook is all about discovering the “movement diet” your body needs. Not any body, but your body, specifically. Complete dozens of self-assessment questions and worksheets to develop a plan--your perfect plan--for nourishing your body with movement in a way that’s sustainable, meaningful, adaptable, and even restful.

Get back to your most joyful activities, uncover new ones—and start savoring the movement in every moment.

A heart-centered, science-based guide to caring for your reproductive health

Tia’s path would lead her to becoming a doctor of physical therapy specializing in pelvic health. In her practice, Dr. Ukpe-Wallace sees everyday evidence of the disconnection between women in their bodies. That disconnection has a variety of sources—trauma, embarrassment, miseducation—and results both in a lack of understanding and awareness and a reluctance to physically connect with their own bodies.

Tending to Your Womb is the book that Tia wishes she had when she started her own journey towards conception, pregnancy and loss. Through self-care exercises, science-based information, and her own personal experiences and those of her patients, she helps women better understand and reconnect with their own bodies. The heart of the book is walking women through the journey from conception through pregnancy, with the full spectrum of outcomes considered.

Also covered:

• Menstruation
• Grief
• Perimenopause and menopause
• Post-partum self-care
• Herbs for womb health

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

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

How are behavioral scientists increasingly involved to advise global decision-makers in the United Nations and elsewhere?

In 2020, the Psychology Coalition at the United Nations (PCUN) launched a bold new series of books, describing how evidence- based behavioral research is increasingly used by United Nations and other decision-makers, to address global issues. These issues reflect the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030—such as health, poverty, education, peace, gender equality, and climate change.

This PCUN volume brings together 34 experts in 14 concise chapters, to focus on diverse issues in mental, spiritual, and social health (detailed below). The chapters are co-authored by leading global experts as well as 'rising star' students from many nations--offering readers a concise overview of each topic, a glossary of key terms, study questions, and bibliography. This volume is suitable as a textbook for diverse courses in psychology, social work, cross-cultural and international studies.

Our abdominal muscles are rarely "broken"; rather, their weakness is a reflection of how little we use our entire body. Whether you have diastasis recti, a hernia, are postnatal, or simply have a very weak midsection—this is the definitive "whole-body" guide to restoring your core!

Abdominal muscles have many important jobs; twisting the spine safely, accommodating pregnancy, protecting your abdominal organs, and even breathing are just some of the jobs we want them to do well. Many will try to fix their middle through crunches and other abdominal exercises without realizing that things like tight shoulder muscles, poor posture habits, and even our breathing patterns can affect what’s going on in our abs.

In Diastasis Recti, biomechanist Katy Bowman:

• Gives 30+ exercises, organized into Small, Medium, and Big Moves
• Expands the core to include essential parts, like the shoulders and pelvis (and how movement patterns here can worsen abdominal separations)
• Explains why it’s better to think of a diastasis (abdominal hernias, or even weakness) as a symptom rather than as the "problem"
• Teaches 5 simple postural adjustments to change the forces on the front of the abdomen
• Notes that in addition to exercises, you can sit, stand, and walk for a stronger core

"By making the material understandable, approachable, and achievable, Bowman offers an outstanding and necessary guide to diastasis recti and many other abdomen-related issues. Everyone can benefit from these insights and improve their health in an empowered and proactive way." —Foreword Reviews

Diastasis Recti is for anybody wanting to improve both the function and the appearance of their abdomen!

Many work hard on good posture and better walking and running alignment, but it’s critical to understand how what you put on your feet each day can play a bigger role in the function of your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and spine than you might realize.

By applying the principles in this book, you will be able to restore your foundation and prevent dysfunction. ―Ray McClanahan, DPM, inventor of Correct Toes

Biomechanist and author of Simple Steps to Foot Pain Relief, Katy Bowman offers walkers, runners, and health professionals alike clear, accessible lessons on how the shape of shoes can play a role in painful feet, knees, and hips―and what to do about it.

When we have painful feet and weak ankles it seems like stiff, supportive shoes are the answer, but this solution can be temporary, especially if our issues stem from foot and leg weakness. In short, humans come with great foot technology, we just need to learn how to use it.

Minimal footwear―shoes that protect your feet while still letting them move freely―is gaining traction (get it?). Being barefoot is a natural human movement, but research shows simply kicking off our shoe-shackles and releasing our feet into the wild can result in injury. Whole Body Barefoot will help you safely and effectively transition to minimal footwear, reaping the enormous benefits of freeing your feet without injuring yourself along the way.

Whole Body Barefoot presents:

• 25 exercises to create strong, supple, feel-better feet
• The mechanics of bunions and pronation
• How to strengthen weak ankles and arches
• How to figure out your true shoe-size
• The importance of walking on natural surfaces―Vitamin Texture!

With clear, science-based explanations, Bowman lays out the ways in which conventional shoes and artificial environments leave us with sedentary feet as well as the steps necessary to restore lost foot function, and improve health…naturally!

A nutritious ‘movement diet’ is essential to our well-being. This book contains all the ingredients we need. –Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times #1 Bestselling Author of Young Forever, The Pegan Diet, and The Blood Sugar Solution

This book is elegant and immediately actionable. You cannot help but be changed simply by reading it. –Kelly Starrett, DPT, New York Times bestselling author of Becoming a Supple Leopard, Deskbound, and Built to Move

Indie Book Award 2023--Gold Winner in the Health category

We make hundreds of movement choices all day long, whether we know it or not: Walk or drive? Sit or stand? Hip to the right or to the left? Heels or flats? So how can we make the choices that leave us feeling and moving—even thinking—our best? It starts with the ways in which our body is positioned throughout the day, whether working, exercising, or resting.

Rethink Your Position is your guide to everyday anatomy and alignment—part by part.

Daily aches and pains can feel unavoidable, but we can start feeling better by moving better.
And moving better starts with our individual body parts, and the relationship between and among those parts and the forces or loads they experience.

Professionals, experienced exercisers, and new-to-movement newbies alike will discover the big and little ways our body parts move. Rethink Your Position explains how to check the way different areas are moving now, includes precision exercises to get important parts moving better, and shows how to support better health by making small changes —not only at the gym, but at the office, in the kitchen, on a walk with friends….even while you’re sleeping.

With her trademark clarity and humor, biomechanist, movement teacher, and bestselling author Katy Bowman provides simple, engaging instructions that will have you rethinking your position by reshaping what you’re already doing. Learn how to:

• Avoid a tech neck by adjusting your head while looking at your phone
• Set up your computer space to open tight shoulders
• Switch up the way you walk for happier feet and knees
• Care for your hips and psoas muscles by sitting differently
• Adjust your pelvic tilt for a stronger pelvic floor and glutes
• Wake up feeling refreshed by changing your sleep shape
• Find even better form in your regular yoga, Pilates, or fitness workout
• Care for your brain (and mind) with simple movements—like chewing!

Transform how you think about movement. Then watch your whole life change!

Drawing from many disciplinary areas, this edited volume explores how the Coronavirus pandemic has disproportionately harmed vulnerable and marginalized people in the U.S. Chapters address harm to people of color that exacerbated structural racism and harm to low-wage workers that highlighted existing inequalities. In addition, the volume provides strategies that have been successful in mitigating these harms and recommendations for a post- pandemic more peaceful and just future.

What do teachers, principals, school administrators, superintendents, state policy makers, and parents need to know about the growing trend to use technology in physical activity environments? How can technology be used to increase not only fitness levels but academic learning in today’s youth? How can kids benefit from increased use of technology in physical education? These questions and others are answered in this volume of the series Educational Policy in the 21st Century: Opportunities, Challenges, and Solutions.

An entire generation is growing up without the benefits of daily physical activity. The daily experiences of our children are centered on the use of technology driven, mostly sedentary, activities. Technology should be considered a viable tool that can increase physical activity levels when implemented effectively. The lack of contemporary programs and strategies that motivate participants to want to participate daily in physical activity has created a culture of inactivity and obesity and is having a profound effect on the physical health and academic learning potential of today’s youth.

In this volume the authors suggest current trends and explore the enormous potential of technology in motivating youth to commit to daily physical activity. Authors detail contemporary programs, teaching strategies and contemporary technologies beginning to be used in schools across the country, and suggest policies, directions, and cost considerations for implementing technology based learning in physical activity and physical education settings.

The purpose of the present book, An Intersectional Approach to Counseling Children and Adolescents with Health Conditions, is to provide mental health professionals and students of counseling, medicine, psychology, social work, and other helping professions, with useful information and helpful suggestions for their work with children and adolescents who experience significant health issues. The chapter authors rely on an intersectional understanding of the human experience and specifically focus on how diverse youth experience, understand, and seek support for specific health conditions and illnesses.

Considering contemporary research that has shed light on some of the ways individuals’ multiple social identities interconnect and interact to compound experiences of illness, health psychology researchers would benefit from applying an intersectional lens in their explorations of the micro and macro-level variables that influence pathways towards health and illness for different groups. For mental health practitioners, an intersectional perspective on diverse children and adolescents’ experiences of specific health conditions will more likely lead to innovative and inclusive interventions that target change at multiple levels.

We are confident that our book will be of great use to mental health practitioners and students who plan to or are currently working with children and adolescents with significant health issues. Readers of the book can focus on a specific health condition that is common among children/adolescents and develop their knowledge, skills, and awareness of the cultural and systemic considerations in working with children/adolescents and their families. Particular attention can be paid to the ways in which the clients’ and the counselors’ intersectional social identities may influence counseling children and adolescents with significant health issues.

Photographer Richard Pilnick has created an unprecedented study of the asanas in the first four series by working with four of the leading teachers from the global community, all of whom studied under the guidance of the father of Ashtanga yoga, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (Guruji). 

The photographs are given the space to speak for themselves, each accompanied merely by its name in English and Sanskrit. The book proceeds from the Sun Salutation and Fundamental Postures, through the Primary and Intermediate series, to two Advanced series and a Finishing sequence. The backgrounds used for the portraits progress from dark to light, reflecting the progression of the inner self from darkness to light through the journey of the Ashtanga yoga movement meditation. Each chapter is introduced by an accompanying poem and a portrait of the internationally respected teacher demonstrating the postures and the fluid movements and breaths that connect them.

Make time for Yoga is a beautifully illustrated, gentle guide to this age-old discipline. It outlines 50 poses, breathing exercises and sequences that you can take at your own pace, to your own level and in your own time. 

Practising yoga has many benefits, from improving balance, flexibility and strength to developing greater awareness of the breath and nurturing a calmer mindset. A reassuring and encouraging book, it’s a perfect introduction to anyone new to yoga or those who’d like to explore familiar poses in an accessible way.

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.
