Irritated
'This book is an absolute joy. Easy to read, it takes you on a journey covering all the important angles. I will be recommending it to my patients who want to better understand their allergies.' Adam Fox OBE, professor of paediatric allergy and Chair of the National Allergy Strategy Do you live with a constantly runny nose, an itchy throat and sore eyes? Maybe you have eczema or get rashes from contact with allergens? Perhaps you or your children carry emergency adrenaline because an allergic reaction could be life-threatening? If so, you're definitely not alone: between a third and half of all UK adults will experience allergies at some point during their lifetime and the numbers are rising. We are more allergic now than we have been at any other time in history. * Peanut or tree nut allergy now runs at 1 in 70 children, versus 1 in 250 in 1997* Hospital admissions for anaphylaxis went up 174 per cent in the UK between 1998 and 2018* Around 21 million people have allergies in this country, but we have fewer than 80 adult and paediatric allergy specialist doctors * Children who grow up in deprived households are more likely to have allergies, asthma and eczema and for their symptoms to be severe* More than 80 per cent of people living with allergies say that it adversely affects their mental healthIrritated looks at why allergies have become so prevalent in recent years and asks whether there is anything we can do to stop more people developing them and help those who already have allergies to cope. Journalist Rebecca Seal writes about the difference between allergies and intolerances, the role of gut health and microbes in the development of allergies, how deprivation increases the risk of allergies and can make the experience of having them much worse, and offers practical strategies for managing both allergy symptoms and the anxiety which can come with them. Allergy is a complex and under-funded area of medicine, and there are few books out there to support families and adults living with allergies. This book provides the answers and information that people with allergies need, while making the science accessible and easy to understand.

Bloody Powerful covers everything you didn't get taught in school: giving you factually correct and reliable information coming from a practicing gynaecology doctor. It is a non-judgemental and insightful guide to empowering yourself to take charge of your body.

The Age Code
What if the food you eat could rewind your biological clock? 'Clear and compelling' Chris van Tulleken 'Really interesting and insightful' Joe Wicks 'Fascinating' Tim Spector From the rising incidence of cancer in the under-50s to increased infertility rates, there are signs everywhere that growing numbers of us are ageing too quickly. Why? Many believe there’s one major culprit: our diet. Ageing reflects a fragile balance in our cells between damage and repair. Sugar, excess calories and gut inflammation are all common sources of damage, but if we instead fuel our body with valuable micronutrients, we can lower our disease risk and age markedly slower. Until recently this process was impossible to measure, but with new breakthroughs we can even assess the age of individual organs, giving rise to a new science of food that might save us. Join Dr David Cox as he meets the experts attempting to understand what’s accelerating our biological clocks and what we can do about it. Along the way you’ll learn everything from why we become more acidic as we age, to why omega-3s are one of the most powerful anti-ageing supplements, to the simple adjustments to your cooking that will help you age better. The Age Code urgently pinpoints why our eating habits must change and what we can all do to live longer and healthier lives.
The Optimized Human

Maintain
Reaching your goal weight isn’t the finish line—it’s where the real journey begins. New York Times best-selling author Susan Peirce Thompson, brain and cognitive scientist and founder of Bright Line Eating, teaches you the three identity shifts that will finally keep the weight off for good. Conventional weight-loss programs, GLP-1s, gastric bypass, and fad diets aren't the magic bullets everyone hoped for. More often than not, people lose some weight, return to old eating patterns, and then promptly regain what they lost. With 85 percent of people discontinuing their GLP-1 medications within two years, one question remains unavoidable: Why is losing weight—and keeping it off—so difficult? Best-selling author and expert in the psychology of eating, Susan Peirce Thompson has the answer: three science-backed identity shifts that will promote lasting change at the deepest level and rewire your relationship with food, dieting, and yourself:· You are DEVOTED. No more bargaining or food chatter. Design your Maintenance plan and commit to it fully. · You are RESOURCED. No more eating your feelings. Identify emotional triggers and build powerful skills to meet life without excess food. · You are LIBERATED. No more tinkering with the last few pounds. Step into peace, joy, and fulfillment in a body—and life—you trust. It's time to let go of the diet mentality and achieve long-term weight stability and freedom around food. Because maintenance isn't magic—it's a mindset.

Hledač pravdy, 2. vydání
Je opravdu vše, co člověk dělá, potřeba? Neztěžujeme život sobě i okolí zbytečně? Jak se stalo, že jsem? Že je svět? Na co? Proč je člověk na světě? Na co ho planeta/příroda potřebuje?
Tyto základní otázky motivovaly autora knihy k výzkumu, jak má správně lidská bytost žít, co je skutečně nutné a co je naopak nadbytečné. Zvolil si k tomu minimalistickou cestu „divokého jogína“, tuláka s kytarou, který všechno, co potřebuje, najde po cestě. V knize najdete zprávu o jeho hledání – o tom, jak dlouho vydržel bez jídla, bez vody, bez oblečení, o životě v křoví bez ohně a elektřiny, o tom, co vše se dá nalézt v kontejneru, o zkoumání jazyků a pozorování hvězd. To vše je odvyprávěno věcným lapidárním stylem a doplněno úvahami o fungování lidské mysli, zdraví a smrti.
Knihu doplňuje sbírka indiánských a budhistických mouder a kolekce barevných fotografií.

Run Forever
‘We don’t stop running because we get old. We get old because we stop running.’ Is it inevitable that our running performance slides as we get into our forties and beyond? Or are there things we can do to slow or even pause the decline, master our midlife and use experience as a superpower and become an ageless ace? In Run Forever, record-breaking GB ultrarunner Damian Hall, fifty, examines the reasons why our strength and speed might deteriorate, yet how it isn’t certain if we choose to do something about it. In running, like other sports, there have been phenomenal performances from masters athletes, and while ageing is unavoidable, how we age isn’t. Becoming an ageless ace has potentially extraordinary healthspan and longevity benefits away from running. Featuring chapters on speed, strength, mindset, sleep and nutrition, Hall draws on the knowledge of experts and shares the stories of other runners – including five-time Olympian and European 10,000 metres champion Jo Pavey, and record-breaking ultrarunner Nicky Spinks – to provide advice for how we can keep running strong and enjoying it for as long as possible. World-renowned sports dietitian, author and ultrarunner Renee McGregor explains how ageing affects female runners, especially around perimenopause and menopause, and leading strength and conditioning coach Pete Stables provides knowledge and exercises for the masters athlete. Ageing is inevitable. Slowing down is optional. Run Forever gives you the tools to keep moving – stronger, smarter, longer.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The New Menopause explains everything a woman needs to know to thrive during the often-misdiagnosed and medically ignored perimenopausal years'Don’t tolerate shrugged shoulders from your doctor during your perimenopausal journey. Get ahead of the issues and your potential symptoms with this important, empowering and scientifically dependable book.' – Dr Vonda Wright, author of UnbreakableI’m just not feeling like myself! This is the battle cry of the perimenopausal woman. Though menstrual cycle changes and the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies them are the hallmarks of the transition to menopause, many women with regular periods as young as 35 can also start to feel irregular, with symptoms that include anxiety, fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, sexual symptoms and volatile moods.

In The New Perimenopause, Dr Mary Claire Haver – the trailblazing voice behind the movement to revolutionise health care for women – sets things straight. She explains that the numerous and varied symptoms of perimenopause occur in direct response to normal endocrine changes; this is the hormonal 'zone of chaos.'A comprehensive, authoritative book of science-backed information and lived experience, The New Perimenopause includes:Clear, science-backed explanations of what's going on in your body, from changes in your menstrual cycle to energy levels, mood, sleep and sexual issues.

Choose Your Age
In this groundbreaking manual for longevity, leading longevity expert Jean-Marc Lemaitre reveals how the latest science can help you measure, slow, and even reverse biological aging at a cellular level. For generations, we've accepted aging as an inevitable decline, measuring our years by birthdays while ignoring the more crucial metric—our biological age. Traditional medicine continues to treat the symptoms of age-related diseases rather than addressing their root cause: cellular aging itself. Too often, healthcare systems intervene only after disease has taken hold, managing decline rather than preventing it. In Choose Your Age, Jean-Marc Lemaitre—a renowned biogerontologist (a scientist of biological aging and age-related diseases)—presents a revolutionary alternative: a personalized, proactive approach to longevity that targets the fundamental mechanisms of aging before disease begins. This is not speculation or trendy "biohacking"—it's cutting-edge science: a comprehensive, evidence-based strategy for extending not just lifespan but healthspan, the years you spend free from disease and decline. Lemaitre's approach isn't prescriptive but educational, empowering you to understand the science of aging so you can make informed decisions about your health journey. In Choose Your Age, readers will discover:Why your chronological age is often misleading, and how new biological clocks can measure your true physiological age—revealing whether you're aging faster or slower than your peers. How telomeres, the protective caps on your chromosomes, influence aging, and what practical steps can help maintain their length and integrity. The revolutionary science of epigenetic reprogramming that could transform medicine's approach to aging by actually reversing cellular age. Why the Mediterranean diet and specific fasting protocols can dramatically impact longevity, and how to adapt these approaches to your unique biochemistry. How the lifestyles of centenarians in the world's "Blue Zones" offer practical insights for extending your own healthspan. The emerging potential of senolytic therapies, metformin, and rapamycin in targeting senescent "zombie cells" that accelerate aging. Why social connections, optimism, and time in nature are as crucial to longevity as any medical intervention—and how to incorporate them into your life. Choose Your Age provides a new paradigm for thinking about aging, transforming it from an inevitable decline into a manageable process that you can influence at every stage of life. With this roadmap in hand, you can chart a different course for your future—one where each decade brings not just more years, but better ones.
Cancer, Sex, and Intimacy
A practical and compassionate guide to navigating sexual intimacy during and after cancer. Cancer changes lives—but it doesn't erase the need for intimacy, connection, or sexual expression. In this essential guide, certified sexuality counselor Anne Katz, PhD, RN, offers a compassionate, candid, and evidence-based guide for individuals and couples navigating the often-overlooked sexual challenges brought on by cancer and its treatment. Dr. Katz addresses the full scope of situations survivors may face, including an altered body image, loss of desire, physical pain, emotional distance, relationship strain, and more. Although these changes are common, they are rarely discussed openly—and survivors are often left to figure things out alone, or not at all. Through the stories of couples she's worked with, Dr. Katz shows that while the path back to sexual intimacy may be complex, it is deeply worthwhile. With equal attention to anatomy and emotion, this book empowers readers to understand how cancer treatments impact sexual function, identity, and mental health—and how to reclaim pleasure and closeness at any stage of survivorship. Clear explanations, practical tools—including mindfulness and sensate focus exercises—and thoughtful commentary make this guide both personal and informative. Cancer, Sex, and Intimacy fills a critical gap in survivorship care and reminds readers that sexuality is not a luxury, but a fundamental part of quality of life.
