The Cancer Code - Dr Jason Fung
Our understanding of cancer is slowly undergoing a revolution, allowing for the development of more effective treatments. For the first time ever, the death rate from cancer is showing a steady decline ⠦ but the ⠘War on Cancer⠙ has hardly been won.In The Cancer Code, Dr Jason Fung offers a revolutionary new understanding of this invasive, often fatal disease ⠓ what it is, how it manifests and why it is so challenging to treat. In this rousing narrative, Dr Fung identifies the medical community⠙s many missteps in cancer research ⠓ in particular, its focus on genetics, or what he terms the ⠘seed⠙ of cancer, at the expense of examining the ⠘soil,⠙ or the conditions under which cancer flourishes. Dr Fung ⠓ whose ground-breaking work in the treatment of obesity and diabetes has won him international acclaim ⠓ suggests that the primary disease pathway of cancer is caused by the dysregulation of insulin. In fact, obesity and type 2 diabetes significantly increase an individual⠙s risk of cancer.In this accessible read, Dr Fung provides a new paradigm for dealing with cancer, with recommendations for what we can do to create a hostile soil for this dangerous seed. One such strategy is intermittent fasting, which reduces blood glucose, lowering insulin levels. Another, eliminating intake of insulin-stimulating foods, such as sugar and refined carbohydrates.For hundreds of years, cancer has been portrayed as a foreign invader we⠙ve been powerless to stop. By reshaping our view of cancer as an internal uprising of our own healthy cells, we can begin to take back control. The seed of cancer may exist in all of us, but the power to change the soil is in our hands.

FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR DR. JASON FUNG • “The doctor who invented intermittent fasting.” —The Daily Mail“Dr. Fung reveals how [type 2 diabetes] can be prevented and also reversed using natural dietary methods instead of medications … This is an important and timely book. Highly recommended.” —Dr. Mark Hyman, author of The Pegan Diet“Dr. Jason Fung has done it again. … Get this book!” —Dr. Steven R. Gundry, author of The Plant ParadoxEverything you believe about treating type 2 diabetes is wrong. Today, most doctors, dietitians, and even diabetes specialists consider type 2 diabetes to be a chronic and progressive disease—a life sentence with no possibility of parole. But the truth, as Dr. Fung reveals in this groundbreaking book, is that type 2 diabetes is reversible.Writing with clear, persuasive language, Dr. Fung explains why conventional treatments that rely on insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering drugs can actually exacerbate the problem, leading to significant weight gain and even heart disease. The only way to treat type 2 diabetes effectively, he argues, is proper dieting and intermittent fasting—not medication.“The Diabetes Code is unabashedly provocative yet practical ... a clear blueprint for everyone to take control of their blood sugar, their health, and their lives.”—Dr. Will Cole, author of Intuitive Fasting

The Obesity Code - Dr Jason Fung
We are in the midst of an obesity epidemic, but despite being inundated with diet advice we are only getting fatter. We count calories and exercise regularly, yet still the pounds wonâ ™t budge. Why?In this highly readable and provocative book, Dr Jason Fung sets out a groundbreaking new theory: that obesity is caused by our hormones, rather than a lack of self-control. He reveals that overproduction of insulin in the body is the root cause of obesity and obesity-related illnesses including type 2 diabetes, and offers robust scientific evidence that reversing insulin resistance is the only way to lose weight in the long term. It turns out that when we eat is just as important as what we eat, so in addition to his five basic steps â ” a set of life-long eating habits that will improve your health and control your insulin levels â ” Dr Fung explains how to use intermittent fasting to break the cycle of insulin resistance and reach a healthy weight â ” for good.

The Emotion Code - Dr Bradley Nelson
I believe that the discoveries in this book can change our understanding of how we store emotional experiences and in so doing, change our lives. The Emotion Code has already changed many lives around the world, and it is my hope that millions more will be led to use this simple tool to heal themselves and their loved ones. - Tony RobbinsIn this newly revised and expanded edition of The Emotion Code, renowned holistic physician and lecturer Dr. Bradley Nelson skilfully lays bare the inner workings of the subconscious mind. He reveals how emotionally-charged events from your past can still be haunting you in the form of trapped emotions - emotional energies that literally inhabit your body. These trapped emotions can fester in your life and body, creating pain, malfunction and eventual disease. They can also extract a heavy mental and emotional toll on you, impacting how you think, the choices that you make, and the level of success and abundance you are able to achieve. Perhaps most damaging of all, trapped emotional energies can gather around your heart, cutting off your ability to give and receive love.The Emotion Code is a powerful and simple way to rid yourself of this unseen baggage. Dr. Nelson s method gives you the tools to identify and release the trapped emotions in your life, eliminating your emotional baggage , and opening your heart and body to the positive energies of the world. Filled with real-world examples from many years of clinical practice, The Emotion Code is a distinct and authoritative work that has become a classic on self-healing.

Jason Fung Kód diabetu Provedení: Tištěná kniha
Diabetes 2. typu nevzniká přes noc – je výsledkem dlouhodobé hormonální nerovnováhy. Dr. Jason Fung, kanadský nefrolog a jedna z nejrespektovanějších světových autorit v oblasti metabolického zdraví, ukazuje, že skutečným kořenem problému není nedostatek léků, ale chronicky zvýšená hladina inzulinu. V této knize srozumitelně vysvětluje, jak inzulinová rezistence vzniká, proč tradiční doporučení často selhávají a jaké biologické mechanismy stojí za přibýváním na váze, výkyvy energie a zhoršováním cukrovky. Opírá se o klinickou praxi, vědecké studie i zkušenosti tisíců pacientů, kterým pomohl změnit život. Fungův přístup propojuje moderní medicínu, výživu a praktické strategie, které lze zavést okamžitě a které vedou ke skutečným výsledkům: lepší glykémii, stabilnější energii, snížení tělesné hmotnosti a často i k úplnému zvrácení diabetu 2. typu. Tato kniha není o rychlé dietě ani o dalším přidávání pilulek – je o pochopení toho, jak tělo opravdu funguje, a o návratu k návykům, které podporují dlouhodobé zdraví. O autorovi Dr. Jason Fung Kanadský lékař a specialista na onemocnění ledvin. Po letech klinické práce si všiml, že tradiční léčba diabetu 2. typu nevede k uzdravení, ale ke stále vyšším dávkám léků. Proto začal detailně studovat metabolické procesy, které řídí ukládání tuku a regulaci hladiny cukru v krvi. Je autorem několika mezinároních bestsellerů (Kompletní průvodce půstem a Kód obezity), spoluzaložil Intensive Dietary Management Program a jeho přednášky patří k nejcitovanějším zdrojům v oblasti výživy a metabolického zdraví. Fung je známý tím, že dokáže propojit vědecká data s praktickými doporučeními, která jsou dlouhodobě udržitelná a pacientům skutečně pomáhají.

Kompletní průvodce půstem - Jason Fung, Jimmy Moore - audiokniha
Audiokniha: „Základem je pravidelná strava! Raději často a v malých porcích!“ Znáte podobné poučky o zdravém stravování, že? Ale co když je to všechno jinak? O knize Po celé dlouhé dějiny se lidé postili. Ať z kulturních a náboženských důvodů, nebo jen kvůli neúspěšnému lovu, občasné hladovění bylo tisíce let přirozenou součástí života – až do nedávna. Naše těla se evolučně nezměnila, ale hlad už nemáme nikdy: každý den snídáme, svačíme, obědváme, zase svačíme, večeříme... Má současná epidemie obezity a dalších civilizačních chorob kořeny v této radikální stravovací změně? Přibývá vědeckých důkazů, že ano. Lékař Jason Fung proto vyzkoušel s více než tisícovkou pacientů různé postní režimy a dosáhl přitom skvělých výsledků. V knize vysvětluje, jak můžeme využít půstu v boji s nadváhou. S pomocí vědeckých studií také dokazuje, že půst zpomaluje stárnutí, má potenciál pro léčbu cukrovky 2. typu, vysokého krevního tlaku nebo metabolického syndromu a efektivně pomáhá tam, kde selhávají jiné postupy. V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte: - Komu půst může pomoci a proč je účinnější metodou hubnutí než tradiční nízkokalorické diety. - Proč vás půst připraví o tuk, ale nikoliv o svalovou hmotu. - Proč je dodržování půstu vlastně jednodušší než klasické diety a jak pracovat s pocitem hladu. - Jaké jsou druhy půstů a že si můžete zvolit postní režim na míru. - Že i několikahodinové vynechání jídla může sloužit jako účinný půst. - Jaké (překvapivě chutné!) zdroje výživy si můžete při půstu dopřát. - Jak půst správně přerušit a kdo by ho vůbec neměl držet. Tak co kdybyste zkusili jít proti proudu, alespoň chvíli nejedli a počkali, co to s vámi udělá? O autorech JASON FUNG je kanadský nefrolog a přední expert na léčbu obezity i diabetu 2. typu pomocí půstu, zabývá se též nízkosacharidovou dietou. Napsal dva další bestsellery na téma zdraví a výživy The Obesity Code a The Diabetes Code. JIMMY MOORE je autorem bestsellerů The Ketogenic Cookbook, Keto Clarity a Cholesterol Clarity a moderátorem Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show, nejdéle existujícího podcastu o zdraví. # Více o knize www.melvil.cz/pust Sdílejte s hashtagem #pruvodcepustem.

The Cancer Revolution - Leigh Connealy
Founder and Medical Director of the Center for New Medicine and the Cancer Center for Healing Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy shares an integrative approach to preventing and treating cancer, with a practical program and strategies. This book will empower you with knowledge that just might save your life or the life of a loved one (Ty M. Bollinger, author of The Truth About Cancer). When it comes to cancer, conventional doctors are trained to treat their patients exclusively with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. These methods are grueling on the whole body - and they don #39;t treat beyond the tumor or the cancer itself. The focus is on the disease, not the whole person - and because of this, the outcomes in conventional medicine can be bleak. But it doesn #39;t have to be this way. Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy has developed a whole-person approach to treating cancer - and these treatments have helped thousands of patients through her Cancer Center for Healing. In The Cancer Revolution, Dr. Connealy shows you how to get to the root causes of cancer and the practical steps you can take to get back on the path to healing -- from balancing your body #39;s chemistry with nutritional supplements, following a healthy food plan, detoxifying your body and home, exercising regularly, getting deep restful sleep every night, practicing stress reduction techniques, and putting together a supportive healing team. Chemotherapy and radiation have their place in treatment, but in many cases, they are simply not enough, because cancer isn #39;t caused by one thing, but by many different factors. All of these causes must be addressed, not just the tumor. The Cancer Revolution will equip you to make impactful, achievable lifestyle choices that fight the root of the disease, and that offer hope for recovery and a cancer-free life.

Longlisted for the Women s Prize for Non-Fiction Code Dependent is the intimate investigation of AI that we ve been waiting for, and it arrives not a moment too soon. - Shoshana Zuboff, author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism Murgia combines her deep experience of the last decade in technology with incredible storytelling and the result is a nuanced, thoughtful and very accessible picture of a world deeply affected by AI. - Martha Lane Fox, Baroness Lane-Fox of SohoWhat does it mean to be human in a world that is rapidly changing thanks to the development of artificial intelligence, of automated decision-making that both draws on and influences our behaviour?Through the voices of ordinary people in places far removed from Silicon Valley, Code Dependent explores the impact of a set of powerful, flawed, and often exploitative technologies on individuals, communities, and our wider society. Madhumita Murgia, AI Editor at the FT, exposes how AI can strip away our collective and individual sense of agency - and shatter our illusion of free will.AI is already changing what it means to be human, in ways large and small. In this compelling work, Murgia reveals what could happen if we fail to reclaim our humanity. Brilliant story telling. Books about AI often put the tech centre stage but Murgia makes you, the human, the hero and sadly often the victim in this fascinating collection of stories about the impact of code on our future. - Marcus du Sautoy, author of The Creativity Code

The Behavioral Code - Benjamin van Rooij
An American Psychology-Law Society’s Lawrence S. Wrightsman Book Award WinnerA 2022 PROSE Award finalist in Legal Studies and Criminology A 2022 American Bar Association Silver Gavel Award FinalistA Behavioral Scientist’s Notable Book of 2021Freakonomics for the law—how applying behavioral science to the law can fundamentally change and explain misbehaviorWhy do most Americans wear seatbelts but continue to speed even though speeding fines are higher? Why could park rangers reduce theft by removing “no stealing” signs? Why was a man who stole 3 golf clubs sentenced to 25 years in prison?Some laws radically change behavior whereas others are consistently ignored and routinely broken. And yet we keep relying on harsh punishment against crime despite its continued failure.Professors Benjamin van Rooij and Adam Fine draw on decades of research to uncover the behavioral code: the root causes and hidden forces that drive human behavior and our responses to society’s laws. In doing so, they present the first accessible analysis of behavioral jurisprudence, which will fundamentally alter how we understand the connection between law and human behavior.The Behavioral Code offers a necessary and different approach to battling crime and injustice that is based in understanding the science of human misconduct—rather than relying on our instinctual drive to punish as a way to shape behavior. The book reveals the behavioral code’s hidden role through illustrative examples like:    • The illusion of the US’s beloved tax refund    • German walls that “pee back” at public urinators    • The $1,000 monthly “good behavior” reward that reduced gun violence    • Uber’s backdoor “Greyball” app that helped the company evade Seattle’s taxi regulators    • A $2.3 billion legal settlement against Pfizer that revealed how whistleblower protections fail to reduce corporate malfeasance    • A toxic organizational culture playing a core role in Volkswagen’s emissions cheating scandal    • How Peter Thiel helped Hulk Hogan sue Gawker into oblivion Revelatory and counterintuitive, The Behavioral Code catalyzes the conversation about how the law can effectively improve human conduct and respond to some of our most pressing issues today, from police misconduct to corporate malfeasance.

The Confidence Code - Claire Shipman, Katty Kay
The New York Times bestseller, now in paperback and updated with a new introductionConfidence. We want it. We need it. But it can be maddeningly enigmatic and out of reach. The authors of the New York Times bestseller Womenomics deconstruct this essential, elusive, and misunderstood quality and offer a blueprint for bringing more of it into our lives.Is confidence hardwired into the DNA of a lucky few, or can anyone learn it? Is it best expressed by bravado, or is there another way to show confidence? Which is more important: confidence or competence? Why do so many women, even the most successful, struggle with feelings of self-doubt? Is there a secret to channeling our inner confidence?In The Confidence Code, journalists Katty Kay and Claire Shipman travel to the frontiers of neuroscience on a hunt for the confidence gene and reveal surprising new research on its roots in our brains. They visit the world’s leading psychologists who explain how we can all choose to become more confident simply by taking action and courting risk, and how those actions change our physical wiring. They interview women leaders from the worlds of politics, sports, the military, and the arts to learn how they have tapped into this elemental resource. They examine how a lack of confidence impacts our leadership, success, and fulfillment.Ultimately, they argue, while confidence is partly influenced by genetics, it is not a fixed psychological state. That’s the good news. You won’t discover it by thinking positive thoughts or by telling yourself (or your children) that you are perfect as you are. You also won’t find it by simply squaring your shoulders and faking it. But it does require a choice: less people pleasing and perfectionism and more action, risk taking, and fast failure.Inspiring, insightful, and persuasive, The Confidence Code shows that by acting on our best instincts and by daring to be authentic, women can feel the transformative power of a life on confidence.
