A mind of your own : the truth about depression and how women can heal their bodies to reclaim their lives : featuring a 30-day plan for transformation / by Brogan, Kelly.; Loberg, Kristin,author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 297-326) and index.Introduction: Psych: It's not all in your head -- Decoding depression -- Truth serum: Coming clean about the serotonin myth -- The new biology of depression -- The great psychiatric pretenders -- Why body lotions, tap water, and OTC pain relievers should come with new warning labels -- Let food be thy medicine -- The power of meditation, sleep, and exercise -- Clean house -- Testing and supplementing -- 4 weeks to a natural high -- Own your body and free your mind -- Recipes.Depression is not a disease, it is a symptom. Recent years have seen a shocking increase in antidepressant use, with one in four women starting their day with medication. These drugs have 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. Based on her interpretation of published medical findings, combined with years of clinical experience, Dr. Brogan suggests 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 day-by-day action plan, including dietary interventions, targeted nutrient support, detoxification, sleep, and stress reframing techniques that women can use to heal their bodies, alleviate inflammation, and feel like themselves again without a single prescription.

The beauty of dirty skin : the surprising science to looking and feeling radiant from the inside out / by Bowe, Whitney,author.; Loberg, Kristin,author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 253-265) and index."Every year, nearly 80 million Americans will consult their doctors about their skin. In fact, skin disorders beat out anxiety, depression, back pain, and diabetes as the number one reason Americans see their doctors. Unfortunately, however, the vast majority will receive only a surface-level treatment, leaving the underlying conditions at the root of their skin issues unresolved. Skin doesn't lie; it reflects overall health in unimaginable ways. In [this book], internationally renowned dermatologist and scientist Dr. Whitney Bowe shows readers that skin health is much more than skin-deep. As a pioneering on the cutting edge of gut-brain-skin research, she explains how skin disorders--from stubborn acne and rosacea to psoriasis, eczema, and premature wrinkling--are manifestations of irregularities originating in the gut. Lasers, scalpels, creams, and prescriptions cannot guarantee the consistently healthy, glowing skin we all seek. Instead, Dr. Bowe focuses on the microbiome--where trillions of microbes "speak" to your skin via the brain--and highlights the connection between sleep, stress, diet, gastrointestinal health, and the look of your skin. With simple explanations of the science, do-it-yourself practical skincare strategies, and a life-changing three-week program, The Beauty of Dirty Skin is your road map to great skin from the inside out and the outside in."--JacketIntroduction; Learning to love your good bugs -- Part I: A gut reaction to radiant skin.

Headlines tell us to do this, not that--all in the name of living longer, better, thinner, younger. In Hype, Dr. Nina Shapiro distinguishes between the falsehoods and the evidence-backed truth. In her work at Harvard and UCLA, with more than twenty years of experience in both clinical and academic medicine, she helps patients make important health decisions everyday. She's bringing those lessons to life here with a blend of science and personal stories to discuss her dramatic new definition of "a healthy life." Hype covers everything from exercise to supplements, diets to detoxes, alternative medicine to vaccines, and medical testing to media coverage. Shapiro tackles popular misconceptions such as toxic sugar and the importance of drinking eight glasses of water a day. She provides simple solutions anyone can implement, such as worrying less about buying products labeled organic or natural, and more about skipping vaccines, buying into weight-loss fads, and thinking you can treat cancer through diet alone. This book is as much for single individuals in the prime of their lives as it is for parents with young children and the elderly."--Amazon.com.There is a lot of misinformation thrown around these days, and Shapiro helps readers distinguish between the falsehoods and the evidence-backed truth.
