Se você já tentou de tudo para melhorar sua saúde, mas continua com a sensação de ser incapaz de atingir suas metas, este livro é para você, e o dr. David Perlmutter será seu parceiro na busca por uma saúde verdadeiramente robusta. Mistura das mais recentes pesquisas científicas com conselhos práticos, A dieta do ácido é o guia que vai te ajudar a descobrir o segredo para uma saúde extraordinária por meio da redução dos seus níveis de ácido úrico — e dos riscos que você não sabia que corria.

"Une approche scientifique pour accroître l''espérance de vie de nos compagnons canins et leur offrir une vie saine et heureuse. Malgré les avancées dans le domaine de la médecine vétérinaire, les données les plus récentes indiquent que l''espérance de vie des chiens ne s''est pas améliorée dans les pays occidentaux. En effet, ceux-ci succombent de plus en plus prématurément à des maladies chroniques. Comment cela est-il possible? Dans cet ouvrage novateur, les auteurs s''emploient à comprendre les tenants et aboutissants de cette triste réalité, puis à proposer des solutions afin de faire une différence dans la vie de nos animaux de compagnie. En réunissant les connaissances d''éminents généticiens, microbiologistes et chercheurs sur la longévité du meilleur ami de l''homme et en interprétant les dernières recherches scientifiques sur l''alimentation et la nutrition, l''exercice physique, les expositions environnementales et la réduction du stress, les auteurs offrent des conseils faciles à mettre en pratique afin d''offrir à toutou une qualité de vie améliorée. Aucun facteur externe n''est mis de côté : des nutriments de longévité dont un chien a besoin jusqu''au rôle que joue notre propre mode de vie sur son bien-être global. Un guide essentiel pour tous ceux qui ont à coeur la santé de leurs fidèles compagnons."--

CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta, MD, offers an accessible, data-packed answer to our biggest questions about Covid-19: What have we learned about this pandemic and how can we prepare for—or prevent—the next one? As America’s favorite frontline Covid-19 health journalist, Dr. Sanjay Gupta has barely left his primetime seat in his makeshift studio basement since the pandemic began (other than to perform brain surgery). He’s had insider access to the drama’s unfolding, including exclusive conversations with the world’s top public health experts and behind-the-scenes scientists racing to find treatments and cures. And now he’s sharing what he’s learned in a book that will answer not only all our questions about what happened, but also about how our world will change in the years ahead, even once we’re back to “normal.” Gupta argues that we need to prepare for a new era where pandemics will be more frequent, and possibly even more deadly. As the doctor who’s been holding America’s hand through the crisis with compassion, clarity, and well-earned wisdom, he gives you the unvarnished story behind the pandemic, including insights about the novel virus’s behavior, and offers practical tools to ready ourselves for what lies ahead. He answers critical questions: Can we stamp out the virus for good (and if not, how do we live with it)? Should we put our parents in a nursing home? Where should we live? What should we stockpile? What should we know before taking a trip? Does it make sense to spend more on health insurance to deal with any long-term effects? How do you decide when it’s safe to go to a public pool or schedule elective surgery? What should Covid survivors know about protecting their future health? What if you become a long-hauler with chronic health challenges stemming? World War C will give you hope for the future along with real information that leaves you more resilient and secure.

"A powerfully informative guide for patient and practitioner from a misinformed past toward a future of recovery and health" (David Perlmutter, MD). In this important and timely book, Steven Phillips, MD, and his former patient, Sony singer-songwriter Dana Parish, reveal striking evidence that a range of common infections, from COVID-19 to Lyme, cause a variety of autoimmune, psychiatric, and chronic conditions. Chronic explores the science behind what makes them difficult to diagnose and treat, debunks widely held beliefs, and provides solutions that empower sufferers to reclaim their lives. After nearly dying from his own mystery illness, Dr. Phillips experienced firsthand the medical community''s ignorance about the pathogens that underlie a deep spectrum of serious conditions—from fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus, to depression, anxiety, OCD and neurodegenerative disorders. Parish, too, watched her health spiral after twelve top doctors missed the underlying infections that caused heart failure and other sudden debilitating symptoms. Now, they''ve come together with a mission: to change the current model of simply treating symptoms and shift the focus to finding and curing root causes of chronic diseases that affect millions around the world. "This book shines an alarming light on emerging infections that cause chronic illnesses. Brimming with bulletproof science, Chronic is an insightful clarion call for more attention to this plague of the twenty-first century." —Sanjay Gupta, MD

. Una obra revolucionaria que aborda las características específicas de la depresión entre mujeres. . Ofrece un programa integral para recuperar la salud mental sin necesidad de medicación. . La autora propone cambios en la alimentación, desintoxicación del entorno, hábitos de descanso y técnicas para combatir el estrés. La doctora Kelly Brogan, una eminencia mundial en el campo de la psiquiatría, la neurología cognitiva y la medicina psicosomática, presenta un novedoso paradigma para el tratamiento de la depresión y sus primos hermanos, tales como la angustia, el cansancio crónico, la irritabilidad, los ataques de pánico o el insomnio: sana el cuerpo y sanarás la mente.

Basándose en estudios publicados y contrastados, la psiquiatra y neuróloga propone sencillas estrategias para recuperar la alegría de vivir sin recurrir a los fármacos ni a largas sesiones de psicoterapia, que incluyen cambios en la dieta, suplementos naturales, sueño y desintoxicación. Una obra rigurosa, valiente y novedosa que nos garantiza una transformación radical, tanto física como mental.

Named one of the top health and wellness books for 2016 by MindBodyGreen Depression is not a disease. It is a symptom. Recent years have seen a shocking increase in antidepressant use the world over, with 1 in 4 women starting their day with medication. These drugs have steadily become the panacea for everything from grief, irritability, panic attacks, to insomnia, PMS, and stress. But the truth is, what women really need can’t be found at a pharmacy. According to Dr. Kelly Brogan, antidepressants not only overpromise and underdeliver, but their use may permanently disable the body’s self-healing potential. We need a new paradigm: The best way to heal the mind is to heal the whole body. In this groundbreaking, science-based and holistic approach, Dr. Brogan shatters the mythology conventional medicine has built around the causes and treatment of depression. Based on her expert interpretation of published medical findings, combined with years of experience from her clinical practice, Dr. Brogan illuminates the true cause of depression: it is not simply a chemical imbalance, but a lifestyle crisis that demands a reset. It is a signal that the interconnected systems in the body are out of balance – from blood sugar, to gut health, to thyroid function– and inflammation is at the root. A Mind of Your Own offers an achievable, step-by-step 30-day action plan—including powerful dietary interventions, targeted nutrient support, detoxification, sleep, and stress reframing techniques—women can use to heal their bodies, alleviate inflammation, and feel like themselves again without a single prescription. Bold, brave, and revolutionary, A Mind of Your Own takes readers on a journey of self-empowerment for radical transformation that goes far beyond symptom relief.

O sistema digestivo está intimamente conectado àquilo que ocorre no cérebro.

Dr. David Perlmutter, Het glutengevaar De sluipmoordenaars van je brein: de onthutsende waarheid over granen, koolhydraten en suiker Je brein, dat ben je zelf. Hoe houd je je hersenen gezond? Hoe houd je je denkvermogen en je emotionele stabiliteit in stand? Het glutengevaar gaat over het baanbrekend hersenonderzoek van de Amerikaanse neuroloog dr. David Perlmutter. Hij heeft het wetenschappelijk bewijs gevonden dat granen, koolhydraten en suiker gevaarlijk zijn. Eigenlijk alle voedsel dat gluten bevat. Gluten zetten namelijk bepaalde hersencellen in werking die daardoor ontstoken raken en zo het eigen brein aanvallen: een soort auto-immuunreactie. Zijn advies is daarom: eet geen brood, pasta of suiker meer. Binnen dertig dagen zijn dan je hersenen gezond. Iedereen met een breingerelateerd probleem (bijvoorbeeld slapeloosheid, ADHD, vergeetachtigheid, migraine, depressie) heeft baat bij een glutenvrij leven. In Het glutengevaar lees je niet alleen Perlmutters theorie, maar ook patiëntenverhalen en recepten. Het is zonder meer interessant voor alle lezers van Wij zijn ons brein van Dick Swaab. `Gedegen advies, ondersteund door medisch onderzoek.'' Russell B. Roth, American Medical Association `Dr. Perlmutter houdt een overtuigend pleidooi voor het gezond maken én houden van het brein.'' William Davis, auteur van Broodbuik www.drperlmutter.com
