Breath:

Did you know that of the 5,400 species of mammals we are the only one that has crooked teeth? 150 years ago, human beings stopped chewing, and with this not only did a process of deformation of our jaws begin, but we also began to breathe through the mouth instead of through the nose.

Boundary Boss:

Psychotherapist Terri Cole teaches a simple but powerful truth: without healthy boundaries, you can’t live an authentic and fulfilled life. After all, if you’re always smiling and saying “yes” to everything, how is anyone else supposed to know you’re burnt out, overloaded, and not up to taking on yet another task? This is especially true for today’s women, who are often caught between cultural conditioning toward being “nice” and the need to protect their own well-being. 

Mark Hyman:

Aging has long been considered a normal process. We think disease, frailty, and gradual decline are inevitable parts of life. But they don’t have to be. Science today sees aging as a treatable disease. By addressing its root causes we can not only increase our health span and live longer but prevent and reverse the maladies of aging—including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and dementia.

Nourishing Traditions:

This well-researched, thought-provoking guide to traditional foods contains a starting message: Animal fats and cholesterol are not villains but vital factors in the diet, necessary for normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from disease and optimum energy levels.

Weston Price Foundation:

Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, a compendium of ancestral wisdom, is a ground-breaking work in nutrition. Price liberally included illustrations and written in non-technical language to make the book as accessible as possible.
