Forever Strong: A new, science-based strategy for aging well
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Learn how to reboot your metabolism, build strength, and extend your life with this accessible new book that demonstrates the importance of muscle for health and longevity from the founder of the Institute for Muscle-Centric Medicine®.
After years of watching patients cycle through her practice, Dr Gabrielle Lyon noticed a pattern. While her patients struggled with a wide range of conditions, they all suffered from the same core problem: they had too little muscle rather than too much fat.
When we think about muscle, we tend to think about strength or aesthetics, but in reality, muscle accounts for so much more than that. As the body’s largest endocrine organ, muscle actually determines everything about the trajectory of health and aging. Many of the conditions Dr Lyon’s patients were experiencing were actually symptoms of underdeveloped or unhealthy muscle.
Now, Dr Lyon offers an easy-to-follow food, fitness, and self-care program anchored in evidence and pioneering research that teaches you how to optimize muscle-no matter your age or health background. Discover how to overcome everything from obesity to autoimmune disorders and avoid diseases like Alzheimer’s, hypertension, and diabetes by following Dr Lyon’s powerful new approach to becoming forever strong.

Fundamentals of Nursing Care: A Textbook for Students of Nursing and Healthcare
Although care and the process of caring has been a fundamental part of nursing theories and paradigms for many years, there are an increasing number of anecdotal and media stories as well as academic debates that question the extent to which caring is satisfactorily carried out. Fundamentals of Nursing Care is a foundation level pre-registration text that aims to actively address this issue as it focuses on the fundamental principles of caring. The book covers topics such as: interpersonal issues, self and the therapeutic relationship; lay-professional conflicts; user articulation and the caring process; dignity and care; cultural competence and the process of care. The book is set out as a workbook, using narratives that are related to the NMC Essential Skills Clusters. Case studies are used to illustrate key points, and the book has been carefully designed to allow for critical incident analysis, enquiry-based and problem-based learning and reflection. Questions and activities encourage students to deconstruct practice and examine how to further develop competencies. There are also suggestions for additional reading throughout the book in order to support independent learning and enquiry. The book can therefore be used as an independent study tool or as a core text within a particular module. Fundamentals of Nursing Care is aimed primarily at nurses on the Common Foundation Programme, although it may also be suitable for other health and social care professionals on Foundation Degree programmes. The book s jargon-free and easy-to-follow approach means that it is relevant for a wide audience of pre-registration practitioners working in a range of institutional and non-institutional settings (hospitals, hospices, nursing and residential homes, and in community settings). Contents: Chapter 1 Rationale. Introduction to themes and definitions Chapter 2 Definitions What is care? Chapter 3 Interpersonal issues, self and the therapeutic relationship Chapter 4 Lay-professional conflicts Chapter 5 User articulation and the caring process Chapter 6 Dignity and care Chapter 7 Cultural competence and the process of care Chapter 8 The value of caring in 21st Century health and nursing practiceRead more

Home Workouts: Anyone | Anytime | Anywhere: Fun and Simple No-Equipment Home Workouts to Help Lose Weight, Build Muscle and Achieve Your Dream Body
How to tone and sculpt your body, even if you hate cardio or have never stepped inside a gym (and don’t plan on doing so!)
At one point or another we’ve all told ourselves, “I’m going to sign up for a gym membership, and really do it this time,” or, “I swear I’ll do my workout later on tonight.”
We all know the benefits of exercise: It improves our physical and mental health, gives us more energy, and boosts our self-image.
So why is it so hard to start an exercise regimen, and even harder to stick to it?
Despite our best intentions, life gets in the way and there always seems to be an obstacle stopping us from actively trying to live healthier.
Whatever the reason, continuing to live a sedentary lifestyle isn’t doing you any favors.
In fact, physical inactivity is the 4th leading risk factor for global mortality and is a strong predictor for weight gain, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions.
Does this mean that you have to make drastic lifestyle changes to start improving your health, mentally and physically? Or that you need to give up time doing what you love just so you can spend hours in the gym?
Not at all.
I’ll let you in on a secret that the fitness industry doesn’t want you to know.
You don’t need fancy equipment or expensive trainers to sculpt the body that, up until now, you’ve only imagined.
A.G. Scott knows firsthand the amazing results that can be achieved with home workouts, and so he has put together the only exercise guide you’ll ever need.
In Home Workouts: Anyone | Anytime | Anywhere, you will discover:
- The six key elements every workout must have in order to make the most of your time and effort, and how they will have you seeing results sooner than you would believe
- Exercises for every muscle group and fitness level with clear, comprehensive instructions, diagrams and variations so you’re working your target areas every time
- The #1 upper-body workout that will rapidly build your overall strength (hint: small adjustments make big changes)
- How this engaging training method can help you burn more calories than traditional cardio, and continue to burn calories even after your workout is finished
- The numerous benefits of dynamic stretching and how that one simple habit not only warms up your muscles, but also improves your balance and coordination over time
- Meal plans that can be adapted for any lifestyle, so you can create a plan that meets your personal needs and preferences
- The most common mistakes people make without realising, and how these can hold you back from achieving incredible results
And much more.
With the demands and responsibilities of everyday life, you shouldn’t have to sacrifice precious hours every week going to the gym to build the body you’ve always wanted.
The key to transforming your life is having a workout routine that works for you, not against you. This is a plan that will adjust to match your needs and experience, no matter where you are.
It’s time to leave the costly gym membership behind, save money, and allow yourself more time to enjoy life.
If you start today, think how much better you will look and feel in a month.

A funny and practical guide to help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.
Have you ever looked around and wondered, “Why has everyone found love except me?” You’re not the only one. Great relationships don’t just appear in our lives – they’re the culmination of a series of decisions, including who to date, how to end it with the wrong person, and when to commit to the right one. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love.

– What’s holding you back in dating (and how to break the pattern)

– How to overcome the perils of online dating (and make the apps work for you)
– How to meet more people in real life (while doing activities you love)
– How to make dates fun again (so they stop feeling like job interviews)
– Why “the spark” is a myth (but you’ll find love anyway)This data-driven, step-by-step guide to relationships, complete with hands-on exercises, is designed to transform your life. How to Not Die Alone will help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.
