What do obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, fatty liver disease, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, neurological disorders and premature death have in common? All can be stoked by high uric acid levels.

Our most respected scientific literature is bursting with evidence that elevated uric acid levels lie at the root of many pervasive health conditions, but mainstream medicine for the most part remains unaware of this connection. This is especially alarming because many people don't know they are suffering from sky-high levels, putting them at risk for developing or exacerbating potentially life-threatening illnesses.

Offering an engaging blend of science and practical advice, Drop Acid exposes the deadly truth about uric acid and teaches invaluable strategies to manage its levels, including:

- Simple dietary edits focused on reducing fructose and foods high in 'purines' that can raise uric acid.
- Natural hacks that lower levels such as consuming tart cherries, vitamin C, quercetin, and coffee.
- Identifying common pharmaceuticals that threaten to increase uric acid.
- Lifestyle interventions, like restorative sleep and exercise.
- How to easily test your uric acid levels at home - a test routinely performed in your doctor's office during regular check-ups but typically ignored.

Featuring the ground-breaking 'LUV' (Lower Uric Values) diet, 35 delicious recipes, self-assessment quizzes and a 21 day program for dropping levels, Drop Acid empowers readers with the information they need to address this hidden danger and live longer, leaner and healthier lives.

Ben prima che la pandemia ci mettesse alla prova con il suo carico di ansia e stress, già numerosi sondaggi rivelavano come ci sentissimo sfiduciati, diffidenti, soli e vulnerabili.

Passando al setaccio le più recenti scoperte neuroscientifiche, David e Austin Perlmutter dimostrano che a influenzare la struttura del cervello e, quindi, la percezione del mondo, sono le nostre abitudini: tanto più è tossico il nostro nutrimento - alimentare e spirituale -, tanto più frequente sarà lo sviluppo di malattie croniche, stress e infiammazione.

La buona notizia è che ognuno di noi può agire oggi per preservare il proprio benessere, in particolare quello mentale. Grazie al programma messo a punto dai due autori, in dieci giorni saremo in grado di sviluppare consapevolmente pratiche che ci permetteranno di riprendere in mano le redini della nostra mente, alleviare le paure e rinnovare il nostro organismo. Basteranno infatti alcune semplici strategie per trascorrere più tempo a contatto con la natura, regolare l'uso della tecnologia, curare l'igiene del sonno, fare attività fisica, meditare e alimentarsi in modo più sano attraverso la preparazione di piatti ricchi ed equilibrati, come suggeriscono, per esempio, le quaranta ricette incluse nel volume. Per cominciare a seguire questo nuovo ritmo, ci sono tre semplici regole di base: essere onesti, impegnarsi, registrare i progressi.

Disintossica la mente ci aiuta a restituire al cervello tutta la sua potenza, permettendoci di formulare pensieri più lucidi, fare scelte migliori e stringere legami più forti con gli altri. È un percorso che vale la pena di intraprendere, perché quando investiamo nel nostro benessere portiamo la versione migliore di noi stessi in tutto ciò che facciamo e possiamo affrontare più facilmente le sfide che ci attendono.

Ground breaking research on how gluten is damaging our minds - Sunday Times Style

Renowned neurologist Dr David Perlmutter, blows the lid off a topic that's been buried in medical literature for far too long: gluten and carbs are destroying your brain.

And not just unhealthy carbs, but even healthy ones like whole grains can cause dementia, ADHD, anxiety, chronic headaches, depression, and much more.

Dr Perlmutter explains what happens when the brain encounters common ingredients in your daily bread and fruit bowls, why your brain thrives on fat and cholesterol, and how you can spur the growth of new brain cells at any age. He offers an in-depth look at how we can take control of our 'smart genes' through specific dietary choices and lifestyle habits, demonstrating how to remedy our most feared maladies without drugs.

With a revolutionary 30-day plan, GRAIN BRAIN teaches us how we can reprogram our genetic destiny for the better.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grain Brain and his physician son explore how modern culture threatens to rewire our brains and damage our health, offering a practical plan for healing.

Contemporary life provides us with infinite opportunities, along with endless temptations. We can eat whatever we want, whenever we want. We can immerse ourselves in the vast, enticing world of digital media. We can buy goods and services with the touch of a button or the swipe of a finger. But living in this 24/7 hyper-reality poses serious risks to our physical and mental states, our connections to others and even to the world at large.

Brain Wash builds from a simple premise: Our brains are being gravely manipulated, resulting in behaviours that leave us more lonely, anxious, depressed, distrustful, illness-prone and overweight than ever before. Based on the latest science, the book identifies the mental hijacking that undermines each and every one of us and presents the tools necessary to think more clearly, make better decisions, strengthen bonds with others and develop healthier habits. Featuring a 10-day boot camp program, including a meal plan and 40 delicious recipes, Brain Wash is the key to cultivating a more purposeful and fulfilling life.

'By showing us how to consciously rewire our brains for connection, compassion, and better decisions, Brain Wash provides a framework for reclaiming joy and health in the modern world.'
- Deepak Chopra, author of Metahuman

'Brain Wash reveals how our day-to-day decisions are deeply influenced and actively manipulated by the modern world. But more importantly, it is a powerful manual that allows each of us to reclaim control of our choices and make better decisions that will pave the way for health and happiness. While we generally know what's best for ourselves, acting on this knowledge is a constant struggle. Brain Wash allows us to turn this knowledge into action. I highly recommend this innovative book.'
- Daniel G. Amen, MD, founder, Amen Clinics and author of The End of Mental Illness

Debilitating brain disorders are on the rise - from children diagnosed with autism and ADHD to adults developing dementia at younger ages than ever before. But a medical revolution is underway that can solve this problem. Astonishing new research sheds light on the influence of the human microbiome in every aspect of health, including your nervous system. In BRAIN MAKER, Dr Perlmutter explains the connection between intestinal microbes and the brain, describing how the microbiome develops from birth and evolves based on the environment, how it can become 'sick', and how nurturing gut health through a few easy strategies can alter your brain's destiny for the better.

With simple dietary recommendations and a highly practical program of six steps to improving gut ecology, BRAIN MAKER opens the door to unprecedented brain health potential.

Con simples recomendaciones dietéticas y un práctico programa de seis pasos para mejorar la ecología del intestino, Alimenta tu cerebro, un libro divulgativo a la par que riguroso, nos abre la puerta a la adquisición de una salud cerebral sin precedentes.

Con simples recomendaciones dietéticas y un práctico programa de seis pasos para mejorar la ecología del intestino, Alimenta tu cerebro, un libro divulgativo a la par que riguroso, nos abre la puerta a la adquisición de una salud cerebral sin precedentes.

La más importante revelación médica del siglo XXI es que el intestino y esos pequeños bichos que viven en él están relacionados con casi todos los padecimientos crónicos, desde el autismo y la depresión hasta el asma y las enfermedades autoinmunes, la diabetes o la demencia. En las últimas décadas han aumentado los trastornos que debilitan nuestro cerebro, desde los niños con autismo y TDAH hasta los adultos que desarrollan demencia a edades más tempranas que nunca.

Pero una investigación médica actual revela que la salud de nuestro cerebro está dictada mayoritariamente por el estado de nuestro microbioma o, lo que es lo mismo, por la gran población de organismos que viven en nuestros intestinos y que superan en número a las células del cuerpo humano en una proporción de diez a uno. Es decir que lo que está ocurriendo en nuestros intestinos hoy determina el riesgo de cualquier trastorno o enfermedad relacionada con el cerebro.

El doctor Perlmutter explica la potente interacción que existe entre los microbios intestinales y el cerebro, y cómo el microbioma humano se desarrolla desde el momento del nacimiento y evoluciona según nuestro estilo de vida, cómo puede enfermar y cómo podemos fomentar la salud del intestino con sencillas estrategias.

Reseñas:

"Alimenta tu cerebro es un hito científico. Por primera vez, el doctor Perlmutter nos enseña por qué tenemos que cuidar nuestro jardín interno, nuestro microbioma, y nos ofrece un plan -radical, pero simple- para reiniciar, restaurar y renovar nuestra flora intestinal."

Mark Hyman, autor de La solución del azúcar en la sangre

"El doctor Perlmutter ofrece una aproximación innovadora sobre el más frágil de nuestros órganos: el cerebro. Es líder indiscutible en el manejo de la medicina convencional y alternativa en el tratamiento de desórdenes neurológicos. Le he mandado pacientes que me lo agradecen toda la vida. Él está a la vanguardia y puede ayudar a cambiar la forma en que hacemos medicina en el mundo."

Dr. Mehmet Oz
