Good energy : the surprising connection between metabolism and limitless health / Means, Calley

"What if depression, anxiety, infertility, insomnia, heart disease, erectile dysfunction, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's, dementia, cancer and many other health conditions that torture and shorten our lives actually have the same root cause? Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions -- and feel incredible today -- is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function -- the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr. Casey Means explains in this groundbreaking book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create "good energy," the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our physical and mental wellbeing. If you are battling minor signals of "bad energy" inside your body, it is often a warning sign that more life-threatening illness may emerge later in life. But here's the good news: for the first time ever, we can monitor our metabolic health in great detail and learn how to improve it ourselves"--

As a young physician in training, Henneberg imagines deliberately shaping her life by her choices. But when she finds herself pregnant and performing late-term abortions, she is forced to reckon with the hardest questions: What is the source of her agency and the root of her ambition?

Her answers, lie at the heart of this memoir.

A life beyond words : a family's journey through hardship and loss to the joy of unspoken possibilities / Baker, Susan

Finding light in the darkness. Courage in the face of adversity. Hope in the practice of surrender. When Susan Baker's infant son died in her arms, and her firstborn child was diagnosed with severe autism a mere twelve months later, her entire experience of motherhood changed. Given little hope for their son's future, Susan and her husband began their emotional journey of navigating an unfamiliar, often turbulent path. In this poignant memoir, Susan shares how believing in the possibility of more for their child led to a life-changing discovery that unlocked their son's innermost thoughts and insights. What followed was not only extraordinary but also a testimony to the power of perseverance and love within a growing family, and a stunning example of the light that can come after dark. Susan delivers an honest and unflinching account of personal transformation while raising a nonspeaking autistic child within complex family dynamics and societal limitations. A Life Beyond Words will inspire hope and compassion far beyond the world of autism.
