Book Description
A provocative manifesto that teaches you how to take control of your own health, no matter your age or circumstances—from an innovative doctor and his philosopher daughter “If you care about your health or the well-being of others, read this book.”—Ethan Kross, author of Chatter Dr. Alex Jadad is the creator of the Jadad scale, which has become the world’s most widely used methodology to assess the quality of clinical trials, and his daughter Tamen Jadad-Garcia is a health entrepreneur and philosopher. Here they combine their expertise to uncover the medical system’s unstable foundations, which condemn you to be ill. The Jadads begin this exploration with a simple question: “What is health?” Through engaging stories and case studies, the Jadads expand the understanding of health beyond the medical industrial complex. They show how distant connections in your personal networks can influence key aspects of yourself, like your weight, anxiety, and addictions; how reliance on medications can be reduced by intentionally designing the places where you live, work, and play; and how comparisons with peers can shorten your life. In this practical guide, the meaning of health is redefined, putting you in the driver’s seat and recognizing you as the most effective evaluator. Building on data and experiences from millions of people around the world, the book reveals that a healthy life is possible even with complex chronic conditions or terminal illnesses. The Jadads explain why perceiving yourself as unhealthy might actually be fatal, and how you can monitor your true health and boost it in practically any context, no matter your cultural background or socioeconomic circumstances. With wisdom and empathy, Healthy No Matter What teaches you how your natural gift of adaptability equips you to overcome any obstacle, provides actionable pointers, and shows how and when to use the medical system, so that you can thrive, regardless of the twists and turns life may take.

Book Description
From the bestselling author of The Year of Living Biblically and The Know-It-All comes the true and truly hilarious story of one person’s quest to become the healthiest man in the world. Hospitalized with a freak case of tropical pneumonia, goaded by his wife telling him, “I don’t want to be a widow at forty-five,” and ashamed of a middle-aged body best described as “a python that swallowed a goat,” A.J. Jacobs felt compelled to change his ways and get healthy. And he didn’t want only to lose weight, or finish a triathlon, or lower his cholesterol. His ambitions were far greater: maximal health from head to toe. The task was epic. He consulted an army of experts— sleep consultants and sex clinicians, nutritionists and dermatologists. He subjected himself to dozens of different workouts—from Strollercize classes to Finger Fitness sessions, from bouldering with cavemen to a treadmill desk. And he took in a cartload of diets: raw foods, veganism, high protein, calorie restriction, extreme chewing, and dozens more. He bought gadgets and helmets, earphones and juicers. He poked and he pinched. He counted and he measured. The story of his transformation is not only brilliantly entertaining, but it just may be the healthiest book ever written. It will make you laugh until your sides split and endorphins flood your bloodstream. It will alter the contours of your brain, imprinting you with better habits of hygiene and diet. It will move you emotionally and get you moving physically in surprising ways. And it will give you occasion to reflect on the body’s many mysteries and the ultimate pursuit of health: a well-lived life.

Does any of this describe you? You don't feel good or aren't well and your doctor has been unable to help you feel better? You take pills that are supposed to keep you alive but the side effects make you feel terrible? You wake up tired even after eight hours of sleep. You are overwhelmed trying to fit so much into your life that the thought of taking on one more task sends you into a downward spiral of stress. You're short tempered and impatient with so many people and activities during your day. You've forgotten how to laugh, joke or kid around with your friends and family. You crave sweet or salty foods. You feel you can't afford to take a day off, that all your activities and the people around you are more important than you are. You've gained a lot (or lost a lot) of weight because you were eating without paying attention to what you were eating OR you forgot to eat. You seem to suffer from colds and the sniffles way too often or have a lot of body pain such as lower back or joint pain. It's chronic and the doctor can't seem to find any physical cause. You don't recover easily. You have a major illness or high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other "middle age" conditions. You suffer a lot of headaches. Things that didn't used to bother you drive you crazy now. You are sensitive to sounds, especially if there are two or three of them, like the radio, conversation and background sounds. You can't figure out why you've hit a roadblock in your life. After all, you're working hard to get ahead. Your current behavior is causing your relationships to deteriorate. You might even be considering dangerous activities such as illegal drugs, risky behavior, or affairs just to feel alive again. In The Diamond Healing Method, you'll not only see the causes for your symptoms, you will also see the solutions. You'll find there are seven life strategies that are more important than what you eat for you to live vibrantly and abundantly. These solutions have brought about massive changes in the hundreds of clients I have worked with. Which factors affect your health most profoundly? Within the pages of this book, you'll find that there are seven major factors that affect your life, health, mental, emotional, and spiritual well being. It isn't just your mind-set; it is also your environment and your interaction with it, whether it's other people, your surroundings or what you put in your body. It's also about how you treat yourself and what you tell yourself every day. When you look at it this way, it's really all about energy management, which is what this book describes. Small adjustments in your day, your interactions with your environment, others, or yourself can add up to big positive effects on your internal stress levels. Here, you'll discover small simple adjustment techniques that add up to major improvements in your life.

Book Description
Why do some people age in failing health and sadness, while others grow old with vitality and joy? In this revolutionary book, bestselling author John Robbins presents us with a bold new paradigm of aging, showing us how we can increase not only our lifespan but also our health span. Through the example of four very different cultures that have the distinction of producing some of the world’s healthiest, oldest people, Robbins reveals the secrets for living an extended and fulfilling life in which our later years become a period of wisdom, vitality, and happiness. From Abkhasia in the Caucasus south of Russia, where age is beauty, and Vilcabamba in the Andes of South America, where laughter is the greatest medicine, to Hunza in Central Asia, where dance is ageless, and finally the southern Japanese islands of Okinawa, the modern Shangri-la, where people regularly live beyond a century, Robbins examines how the unique lifestyles of these peoples can influence and improve our own. Bringing the traditions of these ancient and vibrantly healthy cultures together with the latest breakthroughs in medical science, Robbins reveals that, remarkably, they both point in the same direction. The result is an inspirational synthesis of years of research into healthy aging in which Robbins has isolated the characteristics that will enable us to live long and–most important–joyous lives. With an emphasis on simple, wholesome, but satisfying fare, and the addition of a manageable daily exercise routine, many people can experience great improvement in the quality of their lives now and for many years to come. But perhaps more surprising is Robbins’ discovery that it is not diet and exercise alone that helps people to live well past one hundred. The quality of personal relationships is enormously important. With startling medical evidence about the effects of our interactions with others, Robbins asserts that loneliness has more impact on lifespan than such known vices as smoking. There is clearly a strong beneficial power to love and connection.
