The Circadian Diabetes Code
Avoid, manage, and even reverse diabetes and prediabetes just by changing when--not what--you eat with this authoritative guide from the author of The Circadian Code, now updated with the latest guidance about optimizing new medications including Ozempic and Wegovy. Today, one in ten Americans is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and more than one in three already has prediabetes. Many prescription medications used to treat this chronic disease have unwanted side effects. What's more, the restrictive dieting protocols used to manage diabetes are difficult to maintain over time. Yet the latest science shows that a simple approach that aligns your daily lifestyle--when you eat, sleep, and exercise--with your body's inherent circadian rhythm can be just as effective. This is also the ideal method to enhance the effects of groundbreaking GLP-1 agonists and semaglutides including Ozempic and Wegovy. Best of all, following this program can enhance every other aspect of your health, from losing weight to boosting immunity. In The Circadian Diabetes Code, senior Salk Institute researcher and internationally acclaimed author of The Circadian Code, Satchin Panda, PhD, shares his groundbreaking program. He shares the best way to adopt intermittent fasting, the worldwide phenomenon that started in Dr. Panda's lab, which has been used as an effective weight-loss strategy for almost a decade. Now, you can use this same strategy to optimize your blood glucose response and naturally lower your risk for developing "the sinister friends of diabetes"--heart disease and obesity. The truth is, intermittent fasting is much easier that you think. You will learn how to: Identify your optimal eating zonePlan your meals according to your circadian rhythmExercise at the right time to control blood glucose levelsGet the best night's sleep to reset your brain and bodyOptimally time medication, as neededAnd much more

In Cancer, Trauma & Emotions, integrative oncology expert and cancer survivor Brandon LaGreca presents a revolutionary approach to understanding cancer by addressing its deep emotional and traumatic roots.

Glioblastoma Variations
Glioblastoma Variations: Arias & Other Star Songs are a poem sequence about glioblastoma, a deadly form of brain cancer. These Glioblastoma Variations are structured roughly after J. S. Bach's Goldberg Variations. That is, the sequence begins and ends with an aria, or song, that states a theme, and between them these arias contain 30 variations. Inquiring into the causes and consequences of the disease, the Variations elegize three specific representative victims, friends and family of the poet, and indirectly all others who suffer from brain cancer, both victims, if we want to use that word, and sympathizers. In other words, the poems may console those who suffer from the disease themselves and those who suffer and rejoice in the lives of all who pass under the stars.

Deeper Than Blue
In this intimate memoir of her husband's Alzheimer's journey, author Amanda G. lays bare the emotional and psychological impact of a loved one's illness. DEEPER THAN BLUE kicks off where the real struggle begins; before her spouse is formally diagnosed with the dreaded disease. Amanda G. knows that the radically transformed personality of her once amiable husband/lawyer falls outside the range of normal aging. Armed with a degree in Internet sleuthing, the author zeroes in on her husband's declining condition. By the time the medical diagnosis is delivered, Amanda G. is already navigating the rocky road ahead for her family. A cobbled-together care plan allows her husband to be cared for within the confines of their home for several years. The inevitable progression of Alzheimer's symptoms mandates hard decisions. She confiscates the keys to her husband's car after long, hilarious battles where he is the victor. The loss of her husband's physical and financial independence, grates upon the author almost as much as it does upon him. The ultimate crisis, his rapid physical deterioration, precipitates moving her husband into a board and care facility. For the first time in their forty-six-year marriage Amanda G. is forced to live apart from her husband. DEEPER THAN BLUE sizzles with honesty by asking questions that many spouses of Alzheimer's patients skirt or pretend do not exist. Although DEEPER THAN BLUE is not a clinical discussion of Alzheimer's, the author includes many pearls of wisdom (handling hospital bureaucracy, providing nourishment to a loved one with swallowing issues, creating an estate plan before the inevitable crisis hits, taking care of your health during the tedious journey) that will keep you sane during the journey and elevate the spirit of family members wrestling with Alzheimer's disease. The author injects humor and light into stressful, dark situations. Amanda G.'s abiding faith travels with her through the valley of her husband's Alzheimer's and gives her courage to rebuke the fear of hope.
Rethinking Diabetes
An eye-opening investigation into the history of diabetes research and treatment by the award-winning journalist and best-selling author of Why We Get Fat - "[Gary] Taubes's meticulous, science-based work makes him the Bryan Stevenson of nutrition, an early voice in the wilderness for an unorthodox view that is increasingly becoming accepted."--Niel Barsky, The Guardian Before the discovery of insulin, diabetes was treated almost exclusively through diet, from subsistence on meat, to reliance on fats, to repeated fasting and near-starvation regimens. After two centuries of conflicting medical advice, most authorities today believe that those with diabetes can have the same dietary freedom enjoyed by the rest of us, leaving the job of controlling their disease to insulin therapy and other blood-sugar-lowering medications. Rather than embark on "futile" efforts to restrict sugar or carbohydrate intake, people with diabetes can lead a normal life, complete with the occasional ice-cream cake, side of fries, or soda. These guiding principles, however, have been accompanied by an explosive rise in diabetes over the last fifty years, particularly among underserved populations. And the health of those with diabetes is expected to continue to deteriorate inexorably over time, with ever-increasing financial, physical, and psychological burdens. In Rethinking Diabetes, Gary Taubes explores the history underpinning the treatment of diabetes, types 1 and 2, elucidating how decades-old research that is rife with misconceptions has continued to influence the guidance physicians offer--at the expense of their patients' long-term well-being. The result of Taubes's work is a reimagining of diabetes care that argues for a recentering of diet--particularly, fewer carbohydrates and more fat--over a reliance on insulin. Taubes argues critically and passionately that doctors and medical researchers should question the established wisdom that may have enabled the current epidemic of diabetes and obesity, and renew their focus on clinical trials to resolve controversies that are now a century in the making.
