The Engineered Primate
What if the greatest mystery of Nutrition... has gone unnoticed?For generations we have accepted tidy explanations: Eat this, avoid that, follow the rules.But beneath the surface, something just doesn't add up.The human body thrives without our conscious control: Meals disappear, nutrients are sorted, and energy appears out of nowhere - with no chef, no control tower, no captain.Which really begs the question: how does it all work?The Engineered Primate is a journey into the logistics of life. It is an exploration of the hidden mechanisms that shape us from the inside out. Each chapter peels back a layer: Why does digestion even exist?What was the environmental pressure in deep time that made a digestive system necessary?How does order arise in a body with no conscious overseer?...and why have we rarely asked these questions when creating our nutritional models?This is not another diet manual.It is a trail of clues inviting you to reconsider what you thought you knew about the very act of eating.

Becoming the Vision
What if the way you see the world-and yourself-is the key to your deepest healing?In Becoming the Vision, Dr. Angela Peddle invites readers on a profound journey into the often-overlooked power of vision-not just as a function of the eyes, but as a transformative force that lives within the body, heart, and soul.

It is how we awaken. It is how we become.

Purge and Bleed
Explaining the deadly stasis of American medicine in the nineteenth century The 1793 yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia was a shock to the system of American medicine--or it should have been. In the decades that followed the most infamous health crisis of the early republic, American doctors by and large failed to move beyond ancient ideas of disease and treatment. The contentiousness of Philadelphia's medical community, led by Benjamin Rush, prevented any meaningful advances in response to the outbreak. Marshall Foletta investigates this peculiar dormancy over the course of the long nineteenth century and reveals how little had changed by the time of the 1832 cholera epidemic--leading, he argues, to exhaustion and despair among medical professionals and fatalism among the general public. Only at the end of the century did researchers make the all-important breakthroughs that produced an antidote to yellow fever. This is the story of how received wisdom became dangerously entrenched in the early United States, and the deadly consequences of scientific stagnation and intellectual inertia.

The Pause to Relax
Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer of men and women globally. When Linda Penkala created her Wise Heart Health Program and her Nine Pillars to Prevent Heart Disease, it evolved from the lessons she learned and the impact of stress on health outcomes. Drawing on her extensive experience and knowledge as a wellness educator and licensed massage therapist with over 38 years of experience, she felt compelled to be part of the solution. The one statistic that impacted her the most was that, more than all cancers combined, women are dying of heart disease more than men. Her curiosity was that chronic stress could be a factor and that one answer could be pausing, relaxing, and making wiser wellness choices.
