Forever strong : a new, science-based strategy for aging well / Lyon, Gabrielle (Osteopath)

"Learn how to reboot your metabolism, build strength, and extend your life with this accessible new guidebook 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"--

The skeptic's guide to sports science : confronting myths of the health and fitness industry / Tiller, Nicholas B.

"The global health and fitness industry is worth an estimated $4 trillion; we spend $90 billion/year on health club memberships and $100 billion/year on dietary supplements. In this industrial climate, meagre regulations on the products we're sold (the supplements, fad-diets, training programs, trainers and garments) result in marketing campaigns underpinned by strong claims and weak evidence. In addition, our critical faculties are ill-suited to a contemporary culture characterized by business, fake news, social media, and bad science. We've become walking, talking prey to the 21st-Centruy Snake Oil salesmen. In The Skeptic's Guide to Sports Science, Dr Nick Tiller (Exercise Physiologist, Harbor-UCLA) confronts the claims behind the products and the evidence behind the claims. In this treatise on the commercialization of science in sport and exercise, the author discusses what might be wrong with the sales pitch, the glossy magazine advert, and the celebrity endorsements that our heuristically-wired brains find so innately attractive. Tiller also explores the appeal of the one quick fix, the fallacious arguments that are a mainstay of product advertising, and the critical steps we must take in retraining our minds to navigate the pitfalls of our modern consumerist culture. This informative and accessible volume pulls no punches in scrutinizing the plausibility of, and evidence for, the most popular sports products and practices on the market. Consumers are encouraged to confront their conceptualizations of the industry and, by the book's end, readers will have acquired the skills they need to judge product effectiveness for themselves. The Skeptic's Guide to Sports Science is a must-read for exercisers, athletes, students, and practitioners who hope to retain their intellectual integrity in a vast, lucrative health and fitness industry that is spiralling quickly out-of-control"--

Linda's last trip / Mcintyre Media

"In 2020 Canadian palliative patients were granted legal access to psilocybin 'magic' mushrooms to treat end-of-life distress under the care of professional healthcare providers. Linda's Last Trip documents the moving story of a 64-year-old woman who, with the support of her family, courageously attempts this groundbreaking therapy in order to face her terminal diagnosis. After being diagnosed with an incurable cancer, Linda struggles to make peace with her mortality, particularly the thought of leaving her family behind. Having lived a challenging life with astonishing resilience, Linda is determined to make the most of her final months. Encouraged by her son, the first doctor in Ontario to treat a palliative patient with 'magic' mushrooms, Linda takes a high dosage while under the care of her psychotherapists. This trip, and the events leading up to and following it, change the course of the end of her life. Linda's Last Trip is an emotionally intimate story of healing with grace, facing death with dignity, and the family ties that sustain us forever."--Back cover.
