Younger (Sexier) You: Enjoy the Best Sex of Your Life AND Look and Feel Years Younger
by Eric R. Braverman Ellie CapriaJust as he used the latest brain science to help tens of thousands reverse the effects of aging and achieve lasting weight loss, Dr. Eric Braverman now uses the most up-to-date research on hormones and the brain to explain how great sex contributes to great health, and vice versa. He explains that sexuality plays a huge role in keeping us young, fit, and healthy—helping with everything from cognitive function to stress reduction to appetite control. It has even been shown to increase levels of hormones that protect against infections and cancer. Furthermore, preserving a good sex life is an important factor in maintaining a loving relationship and curbing the urge to stray that can lead to unfaithfulness and disappointment. Beginning with a discussion of the brain and an explanation of sex codes, or how individuals personally view and approach sex, and a quiz to help each reader determine her specific sex code, Braverman looks closely at the major hormones involved with sexual activity and explains how to make permanent changes to four main areas affected by the aging process: libido, creativity, stamina, and satisfaction—for an additional 7-10 years of great sex. With information and advice to address the health concerns of men and women alike, Younger (Sexier) You will help every couple achieve greater pleasure and intimacy; showing them that that the most effective way to remain young and sexy just might be the most pleasurable.

Younger (Thinner) You Diet: How Understanding Your Brain Chemistry Can Help You Lose Weight, Reverse Aging, and Fight Disease
by Eric R. BravermanNew research in nutrition and weight loss has revealed an amazing discovery: the brain—virtually neglected in all other diet plans—is the most important organ in dieting. Dieters can actually lose weight by eating foods, nutrients, teas, and spices that change the chemical balance of the brain for permanent weight loss—a major factor contributing to how quickly the body ages. In fact, everyone can take years off their age by changing their brain chemistry. In Younger (Thinner) You Diet, Dr. Eric Braverman expands upon concepts introduced in Younger You to present a totally new approach to lifelong weight management, where the key is not found in counting carbs, fat grams, or calories. Obesity is a brain chemical imbalance, an addictive disorder, treated successfully only through the combined approach of diet, nutrients, and hormones. One of the foremost experts in integrative medicine, known for his work on the brain-body connection, Dr. Braverman teaches readers:- which foods naturally boost the body's production of dopamine, the chemical in the brain that tells the body to start its fat-burning engine- how to choose foods, supplements, teas, and spices—even hormones and medicine—to avoid the effects of other aging organs that can destroy one's metabolism- how to personalize the diet for specific health concerns, such as heart problems, aging skin, weak muscles, and achy jointsEliminating the frustration and deprivation of conventional dieting, Younger (Thinner) You Diet will help anyone turn back the clock to a slimmer, healthier, younger you.

Your Baby's Brain: How to Use Science to Raise a Smart, Successful Child—Tips for Parents to Shape Young Minds
by Gail GrossWinner of the 2019 National Parenting Product Award • Ranked #1 by BookAuthority for 2019 Best New Parenting Books"This will give your child the greatest opportunity to reach her fullest potential, both emotionally and intellectually.&” —Goldie Hawn, Academy Award and Golden Globe–winning actress, and founder of the Hawn foundation"A must-read for all parents.&”—Arianna Huffington, founder & CEO of Thrive Global and founder of The Huffington PostYour child&’s DNA is not destiny; you are at the helm, guiding their course. With this book, you can learn how to:Harness your power as a parent Use science to guide and nurture your child so they can achieve all of their dreamsShape your child's brain in early years and set a healthy foundation that will enrich the rest of their livesAvoid parenting pitfalls that will set your child's intellectual and social development back by years The truth is, nature and nurture are in a delicate dance—if one goes too fast, the other one falls. Science tells us that early childhood experiences have the capacity to structure and alter the brain. That means you didn&’t just supply your child&’s DNA—you&’re still shaping it. And it&’s only by wielding this power that your child will activate their full potential. You are truly a gene therapist; manipulating and guiding your child&’s genetic makeup based on the experiences you create for them. Contrary to what modern parenting trends have told us, parenting is much simpler than we dared to imagine. Great parenting comes down to one mission: to be prepped and present for the windows of your child&’s development so that you can take full advantage of these formative periods and help your child become a smart, successful, self-sufficient adult. It doesn&’t require formal training or a fancy degree—all it takes is getting involved. Once parents learn how to flip the right gene &“switches,&” they can expand the limits of their child&’s potential and lay the emotional and intellectual groundwork that allows them to seize opportunities for success fearlessly, naturally, and enthusiastically. With a PhD. in education and a second in psychology, and forty years of experience as an educator, Dr. Gross combines an understanding of childhood development with practical and realistic tools to teach parents how to best take advantage of their child&’s developmental windows. Your Baby's Brain translates the results from scientific studies about expanding consciousness and performance into day-to-day interaction between parents and children.

Your Baby's Microbiome: The Critical Role of Vaginal Birth and Breastfeeding for Lifelong Health
by Toni Harman Alex WakefordFrom the Directors of the Award-Winning Documentary Microbirth At least two amazing events happen during childbirth. There’s the obvious main event, which is the emergence of a new human into the world. But there’s another event taking place simultaneously, a crucial event that is not visible to the naked eye, an event that could determine the lifelong health of the baby. This is the seeding of the baby’s microbiome, the community of “good” bacteria that we carry with us throughout our lives. The seeding of the microbiome, along with breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact, kick-starts the baby’s immune system and helps protect the infant from disease across a lifetime. Researchers are discovering, however, that interventions such as the use of synthetic oxytocin, antibiotics, C-sections, and formula feeding interfere with, or bypass completely, the microbial transfer from mother to baby. These bacteria are vital for human health, and science has linked an imbalance in the human microbiome with multiple chronic diseases. Drawing on the extensive research they carried out for their documentary film Microbirth, authors Toni Harman and Alex Wakeford reveal a fascinating new view of birth and how microscopic happenings can have lifelong consequences, for ourselves, our children—and our species as a whole.
