Return to Fitness
by Bill KatovskyBill Katovsky was a two-time Hawaii Ironman finisher, a guy who bicycled solo across the U.S., an endurance athlete who competed in a three-day race mountain bike race across Costa Rica. But through a series of misfortunes, including depression, losing his dog, death in his family, and debilitating health problems, Katovsky went from being a multisport junkie to complete couch potato. He stopped working out. For almost ten years! By the time he hit fifty, he decided it was time for a change. How he fought his way back to fitness is not only a riveting, brutally honest, and ultimately inspiring story, it is also a hands-on guide to help anyone reclaim health and well-being. Katovsky supplements his personal story with those of others successfully making a return to fitness--an astronaut who spent five months in space; a former Wall Street trader who lost seventy-five pounds and became Hawaii's Fittest CEO; a retired two-time world-champion Hawaii Ironman triathlete with a bum hip that needed replacing, a Yosemite park employee who broke her spine in a hiking accident and is now back on the trails; and a sixty-something business educator who's had six heart bypasses but still backpacks and goes to the gym. With the advice of personal trainers, fitness experts, and multisport coaches, Katovsky offers a wealth of useful information, including: · Diet and nutrition--what you need to know for a healthy body· How aging, body fat, and motivation affect physical and mental health; and why exercise is good for depression· Successfully building a proper aerobic and strength base -workouts you can do at home!· Tips for injury prevention - from avoiding overtraining to why stretching isn't recommended· Learning the right way to run and getting back on the bike 10 fitness and health facts found in this important new book:1. Dieting without exercise leads to an increase in body fat and even more weight gain once the dieting ends.2. An active overweight person is healthier and lives longer than an inactive, skinny person.3. You can not spot-reduce belly fat (something the weight-loss and ab-gizmo infomercials won't tell you); and why the "plank" is better than situps or crunches for strengthening the core.4. Exercise can lessen stress and curb depression with no side-effects, unlike taking anti-depressants.5. There is no scientific or medical evidence that body detoxification or all-juice fasting is either healthy or safe.6. Most running injuries are caused by the overly built-up running shoe that forces runners to land on their heel, not middle of the foot.7. It's cheaper to pay as you go at the gym, and not buy a monthly or annual membership; gym members attend on average only four times a month!8. The best thing for a muscle or joint injury is not bed rest, but physical activity!9. Who is the queen of Hollywood workouts? Answer: Renee Zellweger who swims, practices yoga, jogs up to five miles several times a week, and regularly hits the gym with circuit training.10. The best measurement of body fitness is not the bathroom scale, since fat weighs less than muscle, but waist size.

A Return to Healing: Flexner, Osler, and How American Medicine Went Astray
by Andy Lazris Alan RothDrawing from their extensive experience in primary care and backed by decades of academic research, primary care physicians Andy Lazris, MD, and Alan Roth, DO, unravel the complexities of the modern health care system in A Return to Healing. Through a wealth of patient stories and meticulous research, they dig into the roots of American health care challenges and seek its cure. Utilizing poignant patient narratives and rigorous analysis, Lazris and Roth expose the flaws in our modern approach to health care. The book dissects the current philosophy of medical care, addressing foundational issues in health care infrastructure, the pitfalls of screening, the dishonesty of the pharmaceutical industry, and a lack of common sense among health care providers. By exploring common diseases and medical scenarios, demonstrating how doctors arrive at their conclusions, and focusing on the perverse incentives and outdated training that drive doctors to rely on protocols and numerical-based care, Lazris and Roth demonstrate what is wrong with the system and reveal how to fix it. Advocating for patient empowerment, the book offers a road map for reform that is accessible to patients and policymakers alike. This solution-oriented approach aims to dismantle barriers to patient-centred care and foster informed decision-making. In this compelling critique and call to action, A Return to Healing provides a clear path towards a more equitable and effective health care system.

Return to the Brain of Eden: Restoring the Connection between Neurochemistry and Consciousness
by Dennis J. Mckenna Graham Gynn Tony WrightAn exploration of our fall from the pinnacle of human evolution 200,000 years ago and how we can begin our return • Explores recent neurological and psychological research on the brain and the role of plant biochemistry in human brain expansion • Explains how humanity’s prehistoric diet change led to a neurodegenerative condition characterized by aggression and a fearful perception of the world • Outlines a strategy of raw foods, tantric sexuality, shamanic practices, and entheogens to reverse our mental degeneration and restore our advanced abilities Over a period of a million years the human brain expanded at an increasingly rapid rate, and then, 200,000 years ago, the expansion abruptly stopped. Modern science has overlooked this in order to maintain that we are at the pinnacle of our evolution. However, the halt in brain expansion explains not only recently uncovered anomalies within the human brain but also the global traditions of an earthly paradise lost and of humanity’s degeneration from our original state of perpetual wonder and joy. Drawing on more than 20 years of research, authors Tony Wright and Graham Gynn explore how our modern brains are performing far below their potential and how we can unlock our higher abilities and return to the euphoria of Eden. They explain how for millions of years early forest-dwelling humans were primarily consuming the hormone-rich sex organs of plants--fruit--each containing a highly complex biochemical cocktail evolved to influence DNA transcription, rapid brain development, and elevated neural and pineal gland activity. Citing recent neurological and psychological studies, the authors explain how the loss of our symbiotic fruit-based diet led to a progressive neurodegenerative condition characterized by aggressive behaviors, a fearful perception of the world, and the suppression of higher artistic, mathematical, and spiritual abilities. The authors show how many shamanic and spiritual traditions were developed to counteract our decline. They outline a strategy of raw foods, tantric sexuality, shamanic practices, and entheogen use to reverse our degeneration, restore our connection with the plant world, and regain the bliss and peace of the brain of Eden.

Returning Home to Our Bodies: Reimagining the Relationship Between Our Bodies and the World--Practices for connecting somatics, nature, and social change
by Abigail Rose ClarkeFor readers of adrienne maree brown, Staci K. Haines, and Robin Wall KimmererA body-based healing model that interrogates what we&’ve been wrongly taught about hierarchies of nature and the body—and pushes back against the white supremacy, colonialism, patriarchy, and capitalism embedded in modern embodiment practices.Pushing back against a consumerist, pleasure-centric somatics industry that privileges product over process, Abigail Rose Clarke reminds us that truly meaningful embodiment practice nurtures our relationships among self, nature, and community.Combining the rigor of the scientific method with the poetry and lyricism of movement and somatic studies, Clarke&’s somatic learning system—The Embodied Life Method—centers the body as a guide through today&’s most seemingly intractable social and environmental challenges, reclaiming the body as a source of liberatory comfort in times of great uncertainty and yet, possibility. With tools and practices to help us better understand and dismantle the many ways our bodies are weaponized to serve domination systems, topics covered include:Harnessing the vitality of curiosity and experimentationUsing nature as a guide to possibilityEmbracing the necessity of differenceExposing the lie of universal isolationDismantling the fallacy of hierarchyUncovering the truth of endless capacityAwe as a driving force for transformationWith methods honed over decades of inquiry, teaching, and practice, Returning Home to Our Bodies provides a lucid, body-based model of healing and restoration—one that imagines a world beyond systems of domination, marginalization, and isolation to nurture embodied, whole-community liberation.

Revealing Heaven: The Eyewitness Accounts That Changed How a Pastor Thinks About the Afterlife
by John W. PriceIn Revealing Heaven, Reverend John W. Price makes the case for how near-death experiences can be gifts from God and are fully compatible with Christian spirituality and the Bible. As a pastor open to near-death experiences, he has heard more than 200 personal accounts of this phenomena.Todd Burpo's bestelling book Heaven Is for Real, the story of a young child’s near-death experience, has validated the existence of heaven and of God for many. Yet there are Christians who remain uncomfortable with the idea of near-death experiences; they wonder if these events are in line with the Bible and Christian teaching.In Revealing Heaven: The Christian Case for Near-Death Experiences, Reverend Price shares compelling testimonies that prove that Christians can not only trust near-death experiences as valid and consistent with Biblical teaching, but he demonstrates how they can help us understand death, grief, and what happens after this life is over, and provides ample reasons for us to be open to these amazing stories and to hope for what we’ve always dreamed about.

The Revenge of Gaia: Earth's Climate Crisis & The Fate of Humanity
by James LovelockThe key insight of Gaia Theory is that the entire Earth functions as a single living super-organism. But according to James Lovelock, the theory’s originator, that organism is now sick. It is running a fever born of increased atmospheric greenhouse gases. Earth will adjust to these stresses, but the human race faces a severe test. It is already too late, Lovelock says, to prevent the global climate from "flipping” into an entirely new equilibrium that will threaten civilization as we know it. But we can do much to save humanity. In the tradition of Silent Spring, this is a call to address a major threat to our collective future.
The Revenge of Gaia: Earth's Climate in Crisis and the Fate of Humanity
by James Lovelock Crispin TickellIn "The Revenge of Gaia", bestselling author James Lovelock - father of climate studies and originator of the influential Gaia theory which views the entire earth as a living meta-organism - provides a definitive look at our imminent global crisis. In this disturbing new book, Lovelock guides us toward a hard reality: soon, we may not be able to alter the oncoming climate crisis. Lovelock's influential Gaia theory, one of the building blocks of modern climate science, conceives of the Earth, including the atmosphere, oceans, biosphere and upper layers of rock, as a single living super-organism, regulating its internal environment much as an animal regulates its body temperature and chemical balance. But now, says Lovelock, that organism is sick. It is running a fever born of the combination of a sun whose intensity is slowly growing over millions of years, and an atmosphere whose greenhouse gases have recently spiked due to human activity. Earth will adjust to these stresses, but on time scales measured in the hundreds of millennia. It is already too late, Lovelock says, to prevent the global climate from "flipping" into an entirely new equilibrium state that will leave the tropics uninhabitable, and force migration to the poles. "The Revenge of Gaia" explains the stress the planetary system is under and how humans are contributing to it, what the consequences will be, and what humanity must do to rescue itself.
Revenge of the Microbes: How Bacterial Resistance is Undermining the Antibiotic Miracle (ASM Books)
by Brian T. Ho Brenda A. WilsonRevenge of the Microbes “What is antibiotic resistance, and why should I care?” Two decades after the first edition of Revenge of the Microbes: How Bacterial Resistance Is Undermining the Antibiotic Miracle warned of the looming threat of antibiotic resistance, it is now upon us. Not only has the spread of antibiotic resistance continued unabated, but the emergence of multidrug-resistant “superbugs” is poised to set medical progress back centuries. Several distinct biological, social, economic, and technological factors have resulted in us only barely keeping pace with these new threats. In this edition of Revenge of the Microbes, the authors detail the intricacies of the antibiotic-microbe arms race. Beginning with a historical perspective on antibiotics and their profound impact on both modern medicine and present-day society, they review our current arsenal against infectious diseases and the various ways pathogens evade or overcome them. The authors examine the practices and policies driving the discovery and development of new antibiotics, what happens to antibiotics once they are released into the environment, how antibiotic-resistant bacteria evolve and spread, and the urgency for finding alternative approaches to combating infections. This discussion of the controversies surrounding antibiotics will empower readers—citizen scientists, policy makers, pharmaceutical researchers, and medical professionals alike—to generate informed opinions on antibiotic usage and stewardship as we contend with fewer effective antibiotics. Reader-friendly and comprehensible, this new edition of Revenge of the Microbes engages a diverse audience of scientists, clinicians, educators, students, lawyers, environmentalists, and public health advocates as it explores the ever-changing landscape of the antibiotic resistance crisis. For anyone interested in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), this is a completely approachable 360-degree view of a very complex topic. The authors don’t dilute the science but manage to deliver it in language and examples that everyone can digest. Don’t miss the “Points to Ponder” at the end of each chapter. These thought-provoking nuggets will inspire creative thinking even in the most experienced AMR authorities. — JEAN B. PATEL, PhD, D(ABMM), Principle Scientist, Scientific Affairs, Microbiology, Beckman Coulter; former Science Team Lead, Antibiotic Resistance Coordination and Strategy Unit, CDC
