  • The Art of Grieving: The Beauty Behind Victorian Mourning Customs

    Grief transcends time.

    While it can be said that the Victorians were obsessed with death, and some of their rituals may seem morbid and garish by today’s standards, there is something to be said about the Victorians and how they were prepared for the day when a loved one might die.

    Get to know some of the misunderstood mourning customs from the Victorian Era, including jewelry made of human hair, strict fashion guidelines, and even post-mortem photography. Journey back to the American Civil War, and get to know Mary Todd Lincoln and Queen Victoria–two women who publicly grieved for their husbands. You’ll soon come to realize that the Victorians were not obsessed with death… but they did accept it… Something we still struggle to do today.

    Join the curator of The Traveling Museum of Memento Mori as she introduces you to the history of Victorian mourning customs as well as the customs themselves. You’ll learn that there can be beauty in grief and death and that we might be able to learn how to mourn from the Victorians, even in the 21st Century.

  • Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A powerful plan to improve mood, overcome anxiety and protect memory for a lifetime of optimal mental health

    Are you struggling with attention problems, mood swings, food obsession, or depression? Whatever the issue, you have far more control than you realize. In Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind, Dr Georgia Ede reveals that the most powerful way to change brain chemistry is with food – because that’s where brain chemicals come from in the first place.

    In this provocative, illuminating guide, Dr Ede explains why nearly everything we think we know about brain-healthy diets is wrong. The truth is that meat is not dangerous, vegan diets are not healthier, and antioxidants are not the answer. Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind will empower you to:
    – Understand how unscientific research drives fickle news headlines and dietary guidance
    – Evaluate yourself for signs of insulin resistance – the silent metabolic disease that robs your brain of energy
    – Improve your mental health with a personalized plan to suit your own food preferences and health goals

    Drawing on a wide range of scientific disciplines, including biochemistry, neuroscience, and botany, Dr Ede will ignite your curiosity about the fascinating world of food and its role in nourishing, protecting, and energizing your brain.

  • Walk Yourself Happy: Find your path to health and healing in nature

    08

    THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

    ‘It’s hard not to be persuaded by Bradbury’s enthusiasm and positivity’ THE TIMES

    Join Julia Bradbury as she leads you through the walk of our lifetimes.

    There’s a lot of talk about how we all must connect more with nature. But what does that mean? How do you do it? And what does it do for you in return? Can something as simple as going for a walk really improve your life? The simple answer is: YES.

    Walk Yourself Happy will explain the elemental link between our own health – both physical and mental – and the natural world.

    Julia knows first-hand the profound impact of nature: it has helped her survive breast cancer, overcome infertility and continue through failed IVF treatments; it balances the soul and acts as a confidante and therapist. Through science-backed information, practical tips and Julia’s own story, Walk Yourself Happy will explore how nature can soothe anxiety and stress, how a mountain or a tree can keep you company in times of grief, and the importance of building nature into your everyday life, so you eat well, sleep better and move more.

    Walking, one of the most accessible activities for most of us, is the fastest and easiest way to embed yourself in nature. You don’t need expertise or equipment; you just need to put one foot in front of another. You don’t need an epic landscape either, you can walk down the street or in your local green space. Though, as you will learn from this book, a walk in the park is rarely just that.

    We all have shocks and surprises that stop us in our tracks, make us question who we are and why we are here. In walking, we have the power to change our pace. And when we do that, we can find union with nature, camaraderie with friends and a form of intimacy with self.

    We can walk ourselves happy and we can walk ourselves healthy, and we can rekindle the innate bonds, all-but extinguished by modern living, that we have always had to our natural environment. We can start today.

  • The Anti-Doping Crisis in Sport: Causes, Consequences, Solutions

    03

    The sense of crisis that pervades global sport suggests that the war on doping is still very far from being won. In this critical and provocative study of anti-doping regimes in global sport, Paul Dimeo and Verner Møller argue that the current system is at a critical historical juncture.

    Reviewing the recent history of anti-doping, this book highlights serious problems in the approach developed and implemented by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), including continued failure to accept responsibility for the ineffectiveness of the testing system, the growing number of dubious convictions, and damaging human-rights issues. Without a total rethink of how we deal with this critical issue in world sport, this book warns that we could be facing the collapse of anti-doping, both as a policy and as an ideology.

    The Anti-Doping Crisis in Sport: Causes, Consequences, Solutions is important reading for all students and scholars of sport studies, as well as researchers, coaches, doctors and policymakers interested in the politics and ethics of drug use in sport. It examines the reasons for the crisis, the consequences of policy strategies, and it explores potential solutions.

  • While You Were Out: An Intimate Family Portrait of Mental Illness in an Era of Silence

    From award-winning journalist Meg Kissinger, a searing memoir of a family besieged by mental illness, as well as an incisive exploration of the systems that failed them and a testament to the love that sustained them.

    Growing up in the 1960s in the suburbs of Chicago, Meg Kissinger’s family seemed to live a charmed life. With eight kids and two loving parents, the Kissingers radiated a warm, boisterous energy. Whether they were spending summer days on the shores of Lake Michigan, barreling down the ski slopes, or navigating the trials of their Catholic school, the Kissingers always knew how to live large and play hard.

    But behind closed doors, a harsher reality was unfolding–a heavily medicated mother hospitalized for anxiety and depression, a manic father prone to violence, and children in the throes of bipolar disorder and depression, two of whom would take their own lives. Through it all, the Kissingers faced the world with their signature dark humor and the unspoken family rule: never talk about it.

    While You Were Out begins as the personal story of one family’s struggles then opens outward, as Kissinger details how childhood tragedy catalyzed a journalism career focused on exposing our country’s flawed mental health care. Combining the intimacy of memoir with the rigor of investigative reporting, the book explores the consequences of shame, the havoc of botched public policy, and the hope offered by new treatment strategies.

    Powerful, candid and filled with surprising humor, this is the story of one family’s love and resilience in face of great loss.

  • Medical Medium Brain Saver Protocols, Cleanses & Recipes: For Neurological, Autoimmune & Mental Health

    08

    Discover why millions rely on the #1 New York Times best-selling Medical Medium for health answers and natural healing protocols they can’t find anywhere else to over 100 symptoms, autoimmune diseases, and neurological disorders.

    The second of two essential brain health books, in full color and over 600 pages, offers customizable cleanse protocols, over 100 recipes, heavy metal detox smoothies, and cutting-edge self-healing information to protect yourself from anxiety, burnout, chronic fatigue, and over 300+ symptoms and disorders.

    Your brain has abilities to heal beyond what medical research and science are aware of today. The brain remains a mystery to medicine when it comes to chronic illness and mental health struggles. Measuring deficits of the brain doesn’t equate to knowing what’s really wrong or what to do about it. What if you could access neurological healing and pain relief no one realized was possible?

    “After years of doctors being unable to diagnose, identify, or pinpoint our child’s gastrointestinal issues, Anthony’s expertise and intuition led us to not only identifying the issue, but more importantly, Anthony’s precise protocols have been the invaluable catalyst in our daughter’s healing, recovery, and her happiness…” ― Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Lauren Hashian

    With Medical Medium Brain Saver Protocols, Cleanses & Recipes and its companion volume, Medical Medium Brain Saver, Anthony William sheds light on our brain and nervous system. Originally conceived as one life-saving book, Brain Saver had to be divided in two when it became too big to print. Each book now stands alone, so you can start with the one you need most―or read both for a full picture of your brain’s health.

    In Medical Medium Brain Saver, Anthony William delivers powerful health answers about the why―the sources of nearly 100 brain- and nervous system–related symptoms, diseases, and disorders. Here, in Medical Medium Brain Saver Protocols, Cleanses & Recipes, he provides even more compassionate, life-altering guidance to help you understand how to heal from a vast range of brain and neurological symptoms, diseases, and disorders, including:

    · Anxiety
    · Addiction
    · ALS
    · Alzheimer’s
    · Autism
    · Burnout
    · Cranial Nerve Problems
    · Depression
    · Eating Disorders
    · Long-Haul Covid
    · OCD
    · Parkinson’s
    · Seizures
    · Vagus Nerve Issues…and many more

    With practical steps that you can customize to your unique needs, Brain Saver Protocols, Cleanses & Recipes offers:

    · Details on everyday foods, supplements, and additives that are putting your brain at risk
    · A comprehensive guide to the supplements that will support your healing process―and exactly how to use them for over 300 symptoms and conditions, with specific dosages included
    · More than 100 recipes for delicious foods custom-created to support brain health
    · Profoundly effective brain meditations and other healing techniques
    · Cleanse protocols and guidelines for detoxing from heavy metal exposure, and recipes for all-new Medical Medium Brain Shot Therapy―quick hits of medicinals in liquid form, in combinations of ingredients designed to bring instant relief when the brain is under particular stress

    And when you want to understand your symptoms and conditions on a deeper level, you can turn to this book’s companion, Medical Medium Brain Saver, for extensive details about what causes chronic physical and mental suffering―and how to boost your immunity and safeguard yourself from illness.

    You’re not lost anymore. You didn’t bring your suffering upon yourself. Whether your mission is recovery or prevention, you’ve finally found the answers―the real answers―that you won’t find anywhere else about how to save your brain before it’s too late. Join the millions who have found relief with Medical Medium information so that you can finally live your best, most purposeful life.

    “As a functional-medicine doctor and a cardiologist, I see and help people with many chronic diseases. I use Anthony’s teachings in one way or another with most of my patients. It has made me a better doctor. I can help people I couldn’t help before.”

  • What Really Makes You Ill?: Why Everything You Thought You Knew About Disease Is Wrong

    03
    This book will explain what really makes you ill and why everything you thought you knew about disease is wrong. “Doctors are men who prescribe medicines of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, in human beings of whom they know nothing.” Voltaire. The conventional approach adopted by most healthcare systems entails the use of ‘medicine’ to treat human disease. The idea encapsulated by the above quote attributed to Voltaire, the nom de plume of François-Marie Arouet (1694-1778), will no doubt be regarded by most people as inapplicable to 21st century healthcare, especially the system known as modern medicine. The reason that people would consider this idea to no longer be relevant is likely to be based on the assumption that ‘medical science’ has made significant advances since the 18th century and that 21st century doctors therefore possess a thorough, if not quite complete, knowledge of medicines, diseases and the human body. Unfortunately, however, this would be a mistaken assumption; as this book will demonstrate.

    Dr William Li Collection 2 Books Set (Eat to Beat Disease & Eat to Beat Your Diet):

    Eat to Beat Disease:
    In Eat to Beat Disease, Dr William Li explains that your body was designed to fight threats like these and we have radically underestimated how food can be used to amplify this hidden power. Your body has five natural defence systems that, if functioning well, can protect you: angiogenesis (growing new blood vessels), cell regeneration, the microbiome, DNA protection and immunity. The healthy working of each has been found to be intimately connected to the foods we eat – and the findings are sometimes surprising. Discover:· Why scientists think drinking hot cocoa boosts stem cells crucial for your body’s regeneration· The role of cheese and wine in maintaining healthy gut bacteria· Why drinking coffee lowers your risk of dying.

    Eat to Beat Your Diet:
    Dr William Li’s first book, Eat to Beat Disease, showed us how eating the right foods can reduce the risk of chronic diseases, while also extending our lifespan and improving our overall health. Building on this groundbreaking work, Dr Li now brings us Eat to Beat Your Diet, a revolutionary, science-based approach to weight loss. Eating more of the right foods and adopting a “MediterAsian” diet (combining the best of Mediterranean and Asian diets) can promote fat loss and improve our metabolism in as little as 21 days. Rooted in new science, Eat to Beat Your Diet offers a simple plan providing leading research on how supplements, sleep and exercise can help us defend the body against excess fat.

    This portrait project began as therapy for myself and grew into
    something quite unexpected. I painted the portraits of 101 NHS and
    key workers through breast cancer treatment and covid, presented
    where possible with a little ceremony, bling and publicity …… a little
    morale boost at a very difficult time.
    This book has captured snapshots and reflections of our covid
    experiences before they are forgotten, so many different experiences
    giving a little insight into the impact of covid on individuals and our
    communities over the last three years. This has now become a ‘team’
    book, a local story of our shared journey through covid. HOPE has
    been a constant companion on our journey …………. HOPE for a
    vaccine and survival (it sounds a bit dramatic now, but that is how it
