The Harvard-educated physician and "New York Times "bestselling author of "The Hormone Cure" shows you how to grow new receptors for your body s seven metabolic hormones, helping you lose weight and feel great fast!When it comes to weight loss, most people don t think about hormones. But when you develop a resistance to your seven major metabolic hormones cortisol, thyroid, testosterone, growth hormone, leptin, insulin, and estrogen your body adjusts by increasingly raising your hormone levels and ultimately slowing down your metabolism and a slower metabolism leads to weight gain and difficulty losing weight. The solution, Dr. Sara Gottfried contends, is to reset the efficiency of your hormones by repairing and growing new hormone receptors.Based on leading scientific research, "The Hormone Reset Diet "is a proven weight loss and energy program designed to reverse hormone resistance in just three weeks. It will help youboost your metabolism and ability to burn calories by growing new thyroid receptors, improve your ability to lose weight by rebalancing estrogen and progesterone receptors, andreverse your aging by resetting glucocorticoid receptors (for better processing of cortisol).For the last twenty years, this Harvard-educated physician has helped thousands of women address the root hormonal causes of what bothers them most: excess weight, lack of energy, aging, and illness. Going beyond her bestselling "The Hormone Cure," this program is the next generation of her deep understanding of hormonal optimization for rapid weight loss."

[This is the MP3CD audiobook format.] Includes a bonus CD-ROM with recipes and more A provocative look at how eliminating wheat from our diets can help us lose weight, shrink unsightly bulges, and reverse a broad spectrum of health problems--from acne to diabetes and serious digestive disorders. Since the introduction of dietary guidelines calling for reduced fat intake in the 1970s, a strange phenomenon has occurred: Americans have steadily, inexorably become heavier, less healthy, and more prone to diabetes than ever before. After putting more than two thousand of his at-risk patients on a wheat-free regimen and seeing extraordinary results, cardiologist William Davis has come to the disturbing conclusion that it is not fat, not sugar, not our sedentary lifestyle that is causing America's obesity epidemic--it is wheat. How this once-benign grain--now genetically modified almost beyond recognition and found in virtually every course of every meal--has come to have such a profound and deleterious effect on our collective well-being is one of the great untold health stories of our generation. In Wheat Belly, Dr. Davis exposes the truth about modern-day wheat, deconstructing its historical role in the human diet and the agricultural evolutions that have created a hybrid grain that has a greater impact on blood sugar levels than pure cane sugar and many of the addictive characteristics of a narcotic. He sheds light on wheat's connection to weight gain as well as to a host of other adverse effects from diabetes to heart disease to immunologic and neurologic disorders like celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and dementia. Finally, to help listeners dependent on wheat products make the move to a wheat-free diet, he presents a clear-cut action plan packed with food and lifestyle tips, meal plans, and recipes. Informed by decades of clinical research and backed by case studies of men and women who have experienced life-changing transformations in their health after waving good-bye to wheat, Wheat Belly is an illumi...

[This is the MP3CD audiobook format.] [Foreword by Harvey Diamond] Providing a basic understanding of health and disease, this book takes the mystery out of disease. It provides listeners, no matter what their present physical condition, with a holistic approach to living that will empower them to get well--and stay well. One day Raymond Francis, a chemist and graduate of MIT, found himself in a hospital, battling for his life. The diagnosis was acute chemical hepatitis, chronic fatigue, multiple chemical sensitivities, and several autoimmune syndromes, causing him to suffer fatigue, dizziness, impaired memory, heart palpitations, diarrhea, numbness, seizures, and numerous other ailments. Knowing death was imminent unless he took action, Francis decided to research solutions for his disease himself. His findings and eventual recovery led him to conclude that almost all disease can be both prevented and reversed. In Never Be Sick Again, Francis presents a seminal work based on these findings--a revolutionary theory of health and disease: there is only one disease (malfunctioning cells), only two causes of disease (deficiency and toxicity), and six pathways to health and disease (nutrition, toxins, psychological, physical, genetic, and medical). This remarkable book answers the questions, what is health? what is disease? why do people get sick? how can disease be prevented? and how can it be reversed? It will teach listeners, in one easy lesson, an entirely new way to look at health and disease with an approach that is easy to understand yet so powerful that they may, indeed, never have to be sick again.

Weight reduction is as much a mental process as it is a physical process. You cannot divorce the mind from the body. The mind can make you ill and the mind can make you well. The mind can make you fat and the mind can make you thin. That is why, in order to be effective and successful, a weight control program must be mind-body oriented! The weight will take care of itself if and when you learn to take of yourself. Weight loss without rehabilitation of lifestyle is fruitless because sooner or later you will gain it all back. The only way not to gain it back is to change your lifestyle day-by-day. The pathway to your body is through your mind. The mind can make you fat and your mind can make you thin.
