The circadian code
Lose Weight, Supercharge Your Energy, and Sleep Well Every Night
Satchin Panda
The Circadian Code by Dr. Satchin Panda outlines the importance of the body's internal clock and how it affects various physiological processes.
The book explains how every organ and cell in the body has its own circadian rhythm and how these rhythms can be optimized through lifestyle changes such as time-restricted eating, proper sleep schedules, and synchronized exercise.
Dr. Panda's methods aim to prevent and alleviate chronic ailments like diabetes, cancer, and dementia, as well as digestive conditions.
The book provides a concrete plan to enhance weight loss, improve sleep, optimize exercise, and manage technology to align with the body's natural rhythm.
The China study
Campbell, Angus
The China Study is based on the China–Cornell–Oxford Project, a 20-year study that examined the link between the consumption of animal products and chronic illnesses such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, and various types of cancer.
The authors conclude that a predominantly whole-food, vegan diet can significantly reduce the risk of these diseases.
The book presents findings from dietary surveys and blood work in 65 counties in China, combined with laboratory research, to argue for the health benefits of a plant-based diet and the dangers of a diet high in animal protein.
How to Change Your Mind
What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence
Michael Pollan
In this book, Michael Pollan delves into the history of psychedelic drugs, from their rise in the 1960s to their current resurgence in medical research.
He combines historical and scientific analysis with personal narratives of his own experiences with psychedelics, such as LSD and psilocybin.
The book explores how these substances are being used to treat conditions like depression, addiction, and anxiety, and discusses their potential to revolutionize our understanding of the human mind and consciousness.
Pollan's work is a blend of science, memoir, and travel writing, offering a nuanced and engaging look at the therapeutic and spiritual benefits of psychedelics.
Why We Sleep
Matthew Walker
This book delves into the purpose and power of sleep, explaining how it affects every aspect of our physical and mental well-being.
Walker discusses how sleep enriches our ability to learn, memorize, and make logical decisions, recalibrates our emotions, restocks our immune system, fine-tunes our metabolism, and regulates our appetite.
He also explores the consequences of sleep deprivation and provides actionable steps to improve sleep quality, including ways to prevent cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes, slow the effects of aging, and increase longevity.
Grain Brain
David Perlmutter
Grain Brain by Dr. David Perlmutter reveals how carbohydrates, including those from whole grains and fruits, can trigger inflammatory responses in the body, leading to various health issues such as dementia, ADHD, epilepsy, anxiety, and depression.
The book argues that a diet high in 'good fats' and low in carbs, especially those containing gluten or high in sugar, is crucial for cognitive function and long-term health.
Dr. Perlmutter provides a 4-week plan with easy-to-follow strategies, recipes, and weekly goals to help readers maintain a healthy brain and reduce the risk of neurological diseases without relying on drugs.
Brainwash
John William Wainwright
Brainwash is a psychological whodunit that details the attempt to gain a confession from a suspect, George Barker, in a case involving three particularly gruesome murders.
The novel, part of the Inspector Lyle series, is set over a few hours and involves a relentless interrogation by Inspector Lyle and his colleague.
The story explores the marital breakdown of the suspect and his wife, and it includes a brutal but plausible depiction of police methods.
Wainwright's experience as a police officer adds authenticity to the narrative, which also delves into the minds of the four main characters, revealing deep and dark secrets and a significant twist at the end.
