The doctors we need : imagining a new path for physician recruitment, training, and support. by Sanfilippo, Anthony.;
"In The Doctors We Need, Dr. Anthony Sanfilippo, a respected cardiologist and former Associate Dean of Medical Education at Queen's University, confronts a startling reality: in a nation proud of its pledge to universal healthcare, over 6 million Canadians lack a family doctor. This crisis persists despite massive investments in medical education and institutions. We need to think differently. Drawing on over 40 years of experience in the classroom and at the bedside, Dr. Sanfilippo exposes -- with elegance, wit, and empathy -- how our legacy processes for recruiting, educating, and promoting hyper-specialization in medicine have failed to adapt to the basic healthcare needs any Canadian should expect. Through compelling real-life accounts, he illustrates: The impact of outdated selection and training methods on doctor shortages; How our complex, siloed medical education system lacks crucial oversight; Why current approaches fail to produce doctors with the diverse skills needed today. This groundbreaking book doesn't just diagnose the problem -- it prescribes solutions that alter incentives for decision-makers and embrace a new path for aspiring family physicians. Dr. Sanfilippo proposes innovative reforms in three critical areas: Doctor selection; Medical education and training; Healthcare workplace environments. The Doctors We Need is a call to action, challenging Canadians, medical schools, and our political leaders to embrace urgent, disruptive change in the face of clear and present needs. It offers a practical road map for ensuring every Canadian has access to quality primary care. Essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of healthcare in Canada, this book provides the blueprint for transforming our medical system to truly serve all Canadians."--Library Bound Incorporated

Rebuild your bones : the 12-week osteoporosis protocol / by Calton, Mira,author.; Calton, Jayson,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Mira and Jayson Calton know all about building strong bones; Mira developed advanced osteoporosis at the age of 30 and, with Jayson's help, reversed her disease through micronutrient therapy. Readers will be shocked to learn that their so-called "healthy" diets may actually be contributing to their micronutrient deficiencies and ultimately their osteoporosis. In fact, the majority of the foods many of us eat are micronutrient-poor, filled with what the Caltons call "naked calories"--foods that have been stripped of their essential, health-promoting micronutrients. Our diets are also filled with antinutrients--naturally occurring substances in certain foods that can reduce the body's ability to absorb micronutrients. In Mira's case, she was getting plenty of these naked calories and antinutrients, but very few of the vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, and amino acids her body needed to maintain strong bones. In Rebuild Your Bones, the Caltons reveal how our lifestyle habits may be depleting essential micronutrients in our bodies. They provide an easy-to-follow prescriptive plan to reverse these effects, including recipes and meal plans that will appeal to all readers (including keto, paleo, low-carb, vegan, and low-fat options), exercise advice, supplement plans, and checklists. This is the go-to guide for anyone who wants to safely and naturally reverse or stave off osteoporosis, without drugs"--

The wellness trap : break free from diet culture, disinformation, and dubious diagnoses -- and find your true well-being / by Harrison, Christy(Nutritionist),author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle." You've probably heard this phrase from any number of people in the wellness space. But as Christy Harrison reveals in her latest book, wellness culture promotes a standard of health that is often both unattainable and deeply harmful. Many people with chronic illness understandably feel dismissed or abandoned by the healthcare system and find solace in alternative medicine, as Harrison once did. Yet the wellness industry promotes practices that often cause even more damage than the conventional approaches they're meant to replace. From the lack of pre-market safety testing on herbal and dietary supplements, to the unfounded claims made by many wellness influencers and functional-medicine providers, to the social-media algorithms driving users down rabbit holes of wellness mis-and disinformation, it can often feel like no one is looking out for us in the face of the $4.4 trillion global wellness industry. The Wellness Trap delves into the persistent, systemic problems with that industry, offering insight into its troubling pattern of cultural appropriation and its destructive views on mental health, and shedding light on how a growing distrust of conventional medicine has led ordinary people to turn their backs on science. Weaving together history, memoir, reporting, and practical advice, Harrison illuminates the harms of wellness culture while re-imagining our society's relationship with well-being.

The joy of well-being : a practical guide to a happy, healthy, and long life / by Wachob, Colleen,author.; Wachob, Jason,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In this empowering and accessible collection of health and wellness advice, the co-founders of mindbodygreen challenge our definition of wellness, health, and self-improvement by revealing what a healthy lifestyle looks like at the fundamental level-and it's not what we think. What does a healthy lifestyle actually look like on the most fundamental level? Across the board, there's so much pressure to pick a health identity to define us. But that's not the reality of how health works. There is no "one size fits all" solution to being healthy, and there are countless studies that support this point of view when it comes to what you eat, your mental health, and how you choose to live. The only universal principle is that you have got to be happy: happy with the choices you are making, happy with the life you are living, and those choices need to work with your body to promote your somatic needs for happiness. Happiness and Healthiness go hand in hand, and who couldn't use a little more of both these days? In The Joy of Well-Being, co-founders of mindbodygreen, one of the largest wellness lifestyle websites, Colleen and Jason Wachob help us tap into the health we already have and guide us through making intentional choices about the life we live today. We're encouraged to make health choices that are right for us as we learn to embrace intentionalism--a way of seeing our health that informs what wellbeing means to us in what we eat, how we sleep, how we breathe, how we take care of our mental health, and every other dimension of our lives"--

Anticancer living : transform your life and health with the mix of six / by Cohen, Lorenzo,author.; Jefferies, Alison,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."An evidence-based plan to reduce cancer risk and support treatment, featuring six pillars of lifestyle change to support health and well-being. Most patients (and many doctors) do not realize that changes in our daily choices and habits can reduce cancer risk; and improve quality of life, increase the chances of survival, and aid in the healing process for those with cancer. Drawing on the latest scientific evidence and a clinical trial developed at the MD Anderson Cancer Center with David Servan-Schreiber, author of Anticancer: A New Way of Life, Cohen and Jefferies offer a prescriptive plan for optimizing health and thriving after a cancer diagnosis. Social and emotional support, stress management, sleep, exercise, diet, and minimizing exposure to environmental toxins each play an independent role, but working together promote an optimal environment for health and well-being. The synergy created by the Mix of Six can radically transform your health, delay or prevent you or your loved ones from ever getting cancer, support conventional treatments for cancer patients, and significantly improve quality of life - as many testimonies and stories of those in the anticancer community eloquently show. David Servan-Schreiber's Anticancer introduced a revolutionary way to understand and confront cancer. Now Anticancer Living offers a way to further put those principles into daily practice"--

The one-minute workout : science shows a way to get fit that's smarter, faster, shorter / by Gibala, Martin,author.; Shulgan, Christopher,author.;
"Finally, the solution to the #1 reason we don't exercise: time. Everyone has one minute. A decade ago, Martin Gibala was a young researcher in the field of exercise physiology--with little time to exercise. That critical point in his career launched a passion for high-intensity interval training (HIIT), allowing him to stay in shape with just a few minutes of hard effort. It also prompted Gibala to conduct experiments that helped launch the exploding science of ultralow-volume exercise. Now that he's the worldwide guru of the science of time-efficient workouts, Gibala's first book answers the ultimate question: How low can you go? Gibala's fascinating quest for the answer makes exercise experts of us all. His work demonstrates that very short, intense bursts of exercise may be the most potent form of workout available. Gibala busts myths ("it's only for really fit people"), explains astonishing science ("intensity trumps duration"), lays out time-saving life hacks ("exercise snacking"), and describes the fascinating health-promoting value of HIIT (for preventing and reversing disease). Gibala's latest study found that sedentary people derived the fitness benefits of 150 minutes of traditional endurance training with an interval protocol that involved 80 percent less time and just three minutes of hard exercise per week. Including the eight best basic interval workouts as well as four microworkouts customized for individual needs and preferences (you may not quite want to go all out every time), The One-Minute Workout solves the number-one reason we don't exercise: lack of time. Because everyone has one minute"--

Super gut : reprogram your microbiome to restore health, lose weight, and turn back the clock / by Davis, William,1957-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Bestselling author of the Wheat Belly franchise brings his next big, game changing idea - the human microbiome and the silent epidemic of SIBO - to the mainstream. There have been other bestselling microbiome books and people think they understand it, but the research is constantly evolving and growing. Dr. Davis has connected the dots between "gut health" and many common, modern ailments and complaints that other books in this category have not, which gives this the potential to be the breakthrough microbiome book. For example, while we are one of the only mainstream publishers with a SIBO book coming out, most are independently published and most doctors are not yet familiar with the term. Dr. Davis is saying that 1 out of 3 people have SIBO, which causes a long list of health issues and illnesses; he sees it as a silent and profound epidemic created by the absence of microbial species that our ancestors had even 50-100 years ago and have been erased by the industrialization of food and medicine. Dr. Davis has also found that patients with dementia have fungi on their brain-SIFO-that has traveled upwards from the intestinal tract! Reprogramming the microbiome based on his research and techniques not only gets to the root of many diseases but also improves levels of oxytocin (the bonding/happy hormone), brain health, and promotes anti-aging and weight loss. He has also found that a small, hand-held device that attaches to your phone can help you measure/diagnose whether or not you have SIBO. All of this is new(s) and the book provides not just the science and case studies but also the recipes and solutions. In this book, he intends to help readers understand the science, diagnose it, eradicate it, and maintain their long term health"--

Digital madness : how social media is driving our mental health crisis-and how to restore our sanity / by Kardaras, Nicholas,1964-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."From the author of the provocative and influential Glow Kids: Revolutionary research that reveals technology's damaging effect on mental illness and suicide rates--and offers a way out. Dr. Nicholas Kardaras is at the forefront of researchers sounding the alarm about the impact of excessive technology on younger brains. In Glow Kids, he described what screen time does to children, calling it "digital heroin". Now, in Digital Madness, Dr. Kardaras turns his attention to our teens and young adults. For them, the digital world is a bubble of content you're meant to "like" or "dislike." Two choices might be considered easy, but just how detrimental is this binary thinking to mental health? From body image to politics to personal relationships to decisions, the world doesn't exist in an "up or down," "black or white," "good or bad" dynamic, and social media shouldn't either. Digital Madness explores how technology promotes sedentary isolation, polarization, rewards extremes on both sides, and has spawned a mental health and suicide pandemic from which enormous corporations profit. Dr. Kardaras offers a path out of our crisis, using examples from classical philosophy that encourage resilience, critical thinking, concentration, and other beneficial habits of mind. Digital Madness is a crucial book for parents, educators, therapists, public health professionals, and policymakers who are searching for ways to restore our young people's mental and physical health"--
