Atrial fibrillation strikes one in four American adults. Not only do people suffering from this condition suffer from shortness of breath, fatigue, chest discomfort, decreased ability to exercise and do activities of daily living, arrhythmia, and palpitations, but their risk of a stroke, cognitive decline and dementia, heart failure, or premature death also shoots way up. Today, a whole new body of research -- one most physicians are unaware of -- shows that biomarker and lifestyle optimization may put half the cases of atrial fibrillation into remission without drugs or procedures. And for those in whom these remedies are insufficient or not tolerated, new procedures, in combination with biomarker and lifestyle optimization, may offer lifetime remission from atrial fibrillation and its devastating consequences. In clear, accessible, patient-centric language, Drs. Day and Bunch share their revolutionary approach to treating atrial fibrillation, developed through a combined 53 years working with a-fib patients. The effectiveness of their plan has been proven through countless medical studies. And now, in The AFib Cure: Get Off Your Medications, Take Control of Your Health, and Add Years to Your Life, they share that plan with you. If you''re looking for a drug-free solution to your atrial fibrillation, or have a family history of atrial fibrillation and don''t want to suffer the same fate, The AFib Cure is for you. Let The AFib Cure show you how to live longer, healthier, free from medications, and free from the fear of atrial fibrillation overshadowing your life.

This book started with a flash -- Alkon''s first hot flash. Drenching night sweats, insomnia, and brain fog soon followed -- along with shame at feeling bewilderingly enraged at everyone and everything. Alkon, an award-winning science columnist and author, wanted to turn to her doctor. But there was a problem: More than half of the medical care we get in the US may not be ''based on, or supported by, adequate evidence,'' according to the US National Academy of Medicine. Knowing this, Alkon began a deep dive into the research on menopause and perimenopause--the 3 to 10 years leading up to menopause when women''s symptoms are widely ignored, dismissed, and misdiagnosed (despite doctors having every intention of helping their patients). She was shocked by what she found: Most gynecology departments lack even one doctor with training and expertise in menopausal and perimenopausal medicine, and they expect their maternity and general reproductive health specialists to treat these conditions outside their scope of practice without informing patients--a violation of medical ethics; Perimenopause is wrongly viewed and treated as ''menopause lite''--a time of lowered estrogen levels--when estrogen levels actually soar, making many women miserably symptomatic; Few doctors know that symptomatic perimenopausal women actually tend to lack progesterone, and that replacing it with safe, FDA-approved progesterone would alleviate their insomnia, hot flashes, and other suffering and counteract cell overgrowth that can lead to breast and endometrial cancer; Many doctors deny estrogen to their menopausal patients, unaware of current research showing that estrogen not only alleviates symptoms but protects against cardiovascular disease (soon to kill 1 in 3 women), bone fractures, metabolic syndrome, and more; Findings from studies done largely on middle-class white women are wrongly applied to black women and other women of colour, ignoring crucial differences, such as generally lower triglyceride levels in black women that can make heart disease harder to detect. This meticulously researched book is written in clear, everyday language that you don''t need the slightest science background to understand (along with Alkon''s signature dark humor). Alkon equips you with the exact words to confidently ask critical questions and motivate your doctor to partner with you and treat you appropriately--instead of giving you the ''treatment'' her favourite bus driver got: told by her doctor to ''just wait out'' her raging insomnia, night sweats, and hot flashes. Alkon''s ultimate goal: Empowering all women with the science and strategies they need to get the evidence-based care they expect and deserve.

Frank Caprio is ''that judge'' -- the one you love on social media or TV, whose videos you and your friends and family talk about and share with each other. Now, Judge Caprio brings to the page the same wisdom and spirit of decency that viewers around the world have come to treasure. From 1985, when he first took the bench, to when he stepped down in 2023, Judge Caprio dispensed true compassion to a continuous flow of regular people in his municipal traffic court in Providence, Rhode Island. As showcased in the four-time Emmy nominated show Caught in Providence, his courtroom is a place where defendants are treated with dignity, and where the deserving are given a break -- not a pass or get-out-of-jail-free card, but the chance to right their lives and care for their families. In Compassion in the Court, Judge Caprio shares transformative stories and lessons from his life and courtroom, including: Wisdom he gained from his immigrant parents; Stories shared by individuals of all ages who appeared in court; How he developed the ability to tell when someone is not telling the truth; The power of growing up with someone who believed in him -- and how he''s tried to provide the same for everyone who appears before him; How a person''s worth isn''t measured by the mistakes they make, but by their ability to learn from those mistakes. Caprio''s memories will challenge readers to become somebody -- to value their past and their family, to confront their realities, and to believe that, through respect, compassion, and understanding, they can succeed. This book will touch your heart, uplift your spirit, and renew your faith in others, and in yourself.

Winner of the Next Generation Indie Award Why are we obsessed with the things we want only to be bored when we get them? Why is addiction perfectly logical to an addict? Why does love change so quickly from passion to indifference? Why are some people die-hard liberals and others hardcore conservatives? Why are we always hopeful for solutions even in the darkest times—and so good at figuring them out? The answer is found in a single chemical in your brain: dopamine. Dopamine ensured the survival of early man. Thousands of years later, it is the source of our most basic behaviors and cultural ideas—and progress itself. Dopamine is the chemical of desire that always asks for more—more stuff, more stimulation, and more surprises. In pursuit of these things, it is undeterred by emotion, fear, or morality. Dopamine is the source of our every urge, that little bit of biology that makes an ambitious business professional sacrifice everything in pursuit of success, or that drives a satisfied spouse to risk it all for the thrill of someone new. Simply put, it is why we seek and succeed; it is why we discover and prosper. Yet, at the same time, it's why we gamble and squander. From dopamine's point of view, it's not the having that matters. It's getting something—anything—that's new. From this understanding—the difference between possessing something versus anticipating it—we can understand in a revolutionary new way why we behave as we do in love, business, addiction, politics, religion—and we can even predict those behaviors in ourselves and others. In The Molecule of More: How a Single Chemical in Your Brain Drives Love, Sex, and Creativity—and will Determine the Fate of the Human Race, George Washington University professor and psychiatrist Daniel Z. Lieberman, MD, and Georgetown University lecturer Michael E. Long present a potentially life-changing proposal: Much of human life has an unconsidered component that explains an array of behaviors previously thought to be unrelated, including why winners cheat, why geniuses often suffer with mental illness, why nearly all diets fail, and why the brains of liberals and conservatives really are different.
