The Thyroid Solution Diet
by Ridha AremCould your thyroid be making you fat? Do you have a hard time losing weight? If your thyroid and metabolism are slow, you can't lose weight simply by cutting back on what you eat. And if you're overweight--whether you suffer from a thyroid problem or not--your hormones are most likely out of whack and are keeping you from losing those extra pounds. World-renowned endocrinologist Dr. Ridha Arem has treated hundreds of patients successfully for hormone-related weight problems--and almost every weight problem has an accompanying hormone problem. Now for the first time in The Thyroid Solution Diet, Dr. Arem makes his comprehensive hormone-balancing nutrition and weight-loss plan available to the public. With it, you will restore your health and feel better-- mentally and physically--as you get slimmer. Dr. Arem perfected his unique diet after extensive research, modifying the Mediterranean Diet so that his plan is higher in protein, higher in fiber, and also low-glycemic. This way your meals are both satisfying and filling. Specific combinations of proteins and essential supplements at each meal rev your metabolism and reverse hormonal imbalances. And you can further personalize your weight-loss plan by choosing from Dr. Arem's extensive lists of Favorite Foods and from 48 delicious recipes created especially for this book. Before you even start the diet, Dr. Arem takes you through a weeklong detox plan to rid your body of the environmental toxins that compromise your hormone functions and contribute to making you fat. You'll make his carefully formulated smoothie and also start to work with the illustrated 20/10 Exercise program--twenty minutes of aerobics and ten minutes of strength training--to generate energy and vitality. Retrain your body, ramp up your energy, sleep better, reduce stress, and--finally--lose weight and keep it off. This comprehensive mind-body health and diet plan can help you. *** From The Thyroid Solution Diet Do you want to lose weight? Have you tried diet after diet and yet the stubborn pounds remain? Regardless of why you gained weight, once you're wearing those extra pounds, your metabolism shifts gears, triggering multiple hormonal changes that perpetuate weight gain by making your body resistant to losing weight. The only way to lose weight is to rebalance your hormone systems, and the Thyroid Solution Diet is meticulously crafted to do just that. Ask yourself these questions: Are you always tired? Do you have dry skin and dry hair? Is your hair thinning? Are your hands and feet always cold? Do you have a lack of motivation or are you moody, anxious, irritable, or depressed? A thyroid imbalance could be causing any of these symptoms . . . and your weight gain, too. For decades, researchers knew that the thyroid, a butterfly-shaped gland at the front of the neck, governed metabolism, mood, body fat, brain function, and even hearing and vision. But the details on how thyroid hormones control appetite, energy, and weight weren't clear until recently. Even if you haven't been diagnosed with a thyroid condition, or your doctor has told you your blood tests are normal, you might have a subclinical thyroid imbalance, meaning your blood tests are minimally abnormal or borderline. Many doctors ignore these small abnormalities, but losing weight with a borderline low thyroid condition is extremely difficult.

Tibetan Ayurveda: Health Secrets from the Roof of the World
by Robert SachsDiscover the four levels of traditional Tibetan healing science with this preventive health care manual for people of any age, culture, and physical type.• Includes material on little-known therapies such as Pancha Karma and Kum Nye, as well as guidelines for nutrition, longevity, detoxification, and meditation.• Author has studied with many of the best-known Tibetan and Ayurvedic physicians alive today. Tibetan medicine was probably the first truly integrated system of ancient healing science. From the seventh to the tenth centuries, Tibetan kings encouraged physicians from India, China, Nepal, Persia, and Greece to teach their traditional medical sciences to Tibetan physicians, who at that time were primarily influenced by Ayurveda and shamanic healing modalities. This cross-cultural marriage of the greatest healing traditions makes Tibetan medicine ideally adaptable to Western health needs. Tibetan Ayurveda provides a comprehensive guide to the four levels of traditional Tibetan medicine with a wealth of traditional health practices and teachings. Much of the contemporary material on Tibetan medicine focuses solely on herbal medicine and acupuncture; Tibetan Ayurveda goes beyond these to look at other important forms of treatment such as Pancha Karma for detoxification and rejuvenation and Kum Nye for integrating mind and body. A self-profile test is included to allow readers to determine their own health needs and embark on the path toward realizing their full potential for health and well-being.

The Tides of Mind: Uncovering the Spectrum of Consciousness
by David GelernterA “rock star” (New York Times) of the computing world provides a radical new work on the meaning of human consciousness. The holy grail of psychologists and scientists for nearly a century has been to understand and replicate both human thought and the human mind. In fact, it's what attracted the now-legendary computer scientist and AI authority David Gelernter to the discipline in the first place. As a student and young researcher in the 1980s, Gelernter hoped to build a program with a dial marked "focus." At maximum "focus," the program would "think" rationally, formally, reasonably. As the dial was turned down and "focus" diminished, its "mind" would start to wander, and as you dialed even lower, this artificial mind would start to free-associate, eventually ignoring the user completely as it cruised off into the mental adventures we know as sleep. While the program was a only a partial success, it laid the foundation for The Tides of Mind, a groundbreaking new exploration of the human psyche that shows us how the very purpose of the mind changes throughout the day. Indeed, as Gelernter explains, when we are at our most alert, when reasoning and creating new memories is our main mental business, the mind is a computer-like machine that keeps emotion on a short leash and attention on our surroundings. As we gradually tire, however, and descend the "mental spectrum," reasoning comes unglued. Memory ranges more freely, the mind wanders, and daydreams grow more insistent. Self-awareness fades, reflection blinks out, and at last we are completely immersed in our own minds. With far-reaching implications, Gelernter’s landmark "Spectrum of Consciousness" finally helps decode some of the most mysterious wonders of the human mind, such as the numinous light of early childhood, why dreams are so often predictive, and why sadism and masochism underpin some of our greatest artistic achievements. It’s a theory that also challenges the very notion of the mind as a machine—and not through empirical studies or "hard science" but by listening to our great poets and novelists, who have proven themselves as humanity's most trusted guides to the subjective mind and inner self. In the great introspective tradition of Wilhelm Wundt and René Descartes, David Gelernter promises to not only revolutionize our understanding of what it means to be human but also to help answer many of our most fundamental questions about the origins of creativity, thought, and consciousness.

The Tiger and the Cage: A Memoir of a Body in Crisis
by Emma BoldenFor readers of Susannah Cahalan&’s Brain on Fire and Porochista Khakpour&’s Sick, this exquisitely wrought debut memoir recounts a lifelong struggle with chronic pain and endometriosis, while speaking more broadly to anyone who&’s been told &“it&’s all in your head&” In Catholic grade school, Emma Bolden has a strange experience with a teacher that unleashes a short-lived, persistent coughing spell—something the medical establishment will later use against her as she struggles through chronic pain and fainting spells that coincide with her menstrual cycle. With The Tiger and the Cage, Bolden uses her own experience as the starting point for a journey through the institutional misogyny of Western medicine—from a history of labeling women &“hysterical&” and parading them as curiosities to a lack of information on causes or cures for endometriosis, despite more than a century of documented cases. Recounting botched surgeries and dire side effects from pharmaceuticals affecting her and countless others, Bolden speaks to the ways people are often failed by the official narratives of institutions meant to protect them. Bolden also interrogates a narrative commonly imposed on menstruating bodies: the expected story arc of marriage and children. She interrogates her body as a painful site she must mentally escape and a countdown she hopes to beat by having a child before a hysterectomy. Only later does she find language and acceptance for her asexality and the life she needs to lead. Through all its gripping, devastating, and beautiful threads, The Tiger and the Cage says what Bolden and so many like her have needed to hear: I see you, and I believe you.

by Ellington DardenTighten Your Tummy in 2 Weeks is a revolutionary new program that triggers hormones to burn more fat and melt pounds and inches primarily from the belly.A woman's tummy has now replaced her thighs as the most-troublesome body part.

A carbohydrate-rich eating plan of five or six small meals a day. Yes, "carbs are okay." A bagel for breakfast is on the daily meal plan. 3.
