Genres: Disorders & Diseases

Publisher's Summary:

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Comedian Ian Karmel, with help from his sister, Dr. Alisa Karmel, opens up about the daily humiliations of being fat and why it’s so hard to talk about something so visible. “As charming and funny as it is poignant and thoughtful.”—Roxane Gay, author of Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body Ian Karmel has weighed eight pounds and he has weighed 420 pounds and right now he’s almost exactly in between the two, but this book is not a weight-loss book. It’s about being a fat person in a skinny world. It’s about gym class and football practice, about chicken wings and juice cleanses, about airplane seats and roller coasters, about fat jokes and Jabba the Hutt, about crying in the Big and Tall section and the joys of being a sneakerhead, about prediabetes and gout, and about realizing that you actually don’t want to eat yourself to death and hoping it’s not too late. This book also includes a “What Now?” section from Ian’s sister, Alisa, who herself cycled through so many fad diets that she eventually pursued a master’s in nutrition and a doctorate in psychology with the goal of changing the contemporary narrative around fatness. Ian and Alisa Karmel grew up fat. As kids, they never talked about it. They were too busy fighting over the last SnackWell’s Devil’s Food cookie. Now, decades later, having both turned into fat adults who eventually figured out how to get their health under control, they are finally ready to unpack the impact that their weight has had on them. For them, the T-Shirt Swim Club is meant to be a place of support for anyone who struggles with weight issues. A place of care and candor, free of shame. A place to not deny or avoid the emotions you feel, the experiences you go through, the embarrassment, the anger, the resentment. T-Shirt Swim Club is about being a fat person and how the world treats fat people—but also an acknowledgment that maybe it doesn’t always have to feel quite so lonely.

Title: Psychedelic Outlaws: The Movement Revolutionizing Modern Medicine

Author: Joanna Kempner

Narrator: Paige Reisenfeld

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 11 hours 8 minutes

Release date: June 4, 2024

Genres: Disorders & Diseases

Publisher's Summary:

An award-winning sociologist unearths how a group of ordinary people debilitated by excruciating pain developed their own medicine from home-grown psilocybin mushrooms—crafting near-clinical grade dosing protocols--and fought for recognition in a broken medical system. Cluster headache, a diagnosis sometimes referred to as a ‘suicide headache,’ is widely considered the most severe pain disorder that humans experience. There is no cure, and little funding available for research into developing treatments.   When Joanna Kempner met Bob Wold in 2012, she was introduced to a world beyond most people's comprehension—a clandestine network determined to find relief using magic mushrooms. These ‘Clusterbusters,’ a group united only by the internet and a desire to survive, decided to do the research that medicine left unfinished. They produced their own psychedelic treatment protocols and managed to get academics at Harvard and Yale to test their results. Along the way, Kempner explores not only the fascinating history and exploding popularity of psychedelic science, but also a regulatory system so repressive that the sick are forced to find their own homegrown remedies, and corporate America and university professors stand to profit from their transgressions. From the windswept shores of the North Sea through the verdant jungle of Peruvian Amazon to a kitschy underground palace built in a missile silo in Kansas, Psychedelic Outlaws chronicles the rise of psychedelic medicine amid a healthcare system in turmoil. Kempner’s gripping tale of community and resilience brings readers on a eye-opening journey through the politics of pain, through the stories of people desperate enough to defy the law for a moment of relief.

Publisher's Summary:

'Inspiring, refreshing and practical' Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score The new essential self-healing bible – a revolutionary body-first guide to regulating your nervous system, curing long-term pain and healing from trauma for good. Our autonomic nervous system is the part of us responsible for the constant but usually subconscious communication between our brain and body. This is a language that most of us have never heard of but, we assure you, you desperately need access to! When a person is burdened by stress, anxiety and trauma their nervous system adapts to help keep them alive, but can also trap them in survival mode. This can be the result of consistent exposure to unsafe environments, relationships and thought patterns. We call this nervous system dysregulation or sensitization, which can result in chronic mental and physical pain and confusion, leaving you unable to cope with life’s strains and stresses. In this book we teach you how to move out of survival mode, regulate your nervous system and heal your mind and body through these three elements of getting to know and take back control of your nervous system: 1. Awareness of how it's doing what it's doing 2. Interrupting what it's doing 3. Redesigning its response to the inputs that dysregulated it This book provides you with the tools to learn exactly how to start creating meaningful and positive change in your nervous system (and life) right away. As you advance, we will support you in exploring the beautiful nuances, shades and parts that make up who you are to sustain lasting change. We also help you learn how to support your nervous system in your daily life through the Nervous System Codes which are practical sequences aimed to sustain a resilient and flexible mind and body. Ultimately, through physical practices and accessible yet crucial explanations of the science of the nervous system, you will learn how to skillfully speak the language of your body and elevate nervous system regulation from stress and symptom management to the high art of personal transformation!

Length: 6 hours 55 minutes

Release date: May 14, 2024

Genres: Disorders & Diseases

Publisher's Summary:

How Do You Make Each Day of Your Brief Life Count? Tim Keesee spent years crisscrossing the globe, documenting the gospel's advance in regions of war and persecution through his writing and films. But double blows from terminal cancer diagnoses in 2019 and 2021 brought his travels to a halt. In A Day's Journey, Tim takes up his pen to write dispatches from a smaller, more intimate world. He writes of Christian brothers and sisters who have taught him so much about a day well spent: the way they work and worship, the way they pray and sing, the way they love their neighbors and their enemies, even when beaten black and blue for the sake of Christ. In this book you'll have the privilege to walk with Tim through days of pain and hard questions, but also days of grace, wonder, and death-defying joy. Poignant, inspiring, and beautifully written, these stories model the courage we need, the joy we have, the gospel we love, the cross we bear, and the hope we embrace until faith becomes sight.

Title: Food or Fiction?: The Truth About the Ultraprocessed Foods Making America Sick

Author: David A. Kessler

Narrator: Joe Knezevich

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 17 minutes

Release date: May 7, 2024

Genres: Disorders & Diseases

Publisher's Summary:

The former FDA Commissioner and New York Times bestselling author explains why Americans suffer in unprecedented numbers from obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and other debilitating illnesses, and offers concrete solutions for reducing cardiovascular problems, keeping weight off, and curtailing chronic disease. Features a new preface for the paperback edition. Unprecedented numbers of us live with obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and other debilitating illnesses. The root cause is a once-revolutionary idea that seemed to offer so much promise but instead has become the cause of a global health crisis: processed foods. Over the past seventy-five years, a number of factors aligned to create a reality in which processed carbohydrates—in the form of appealing, ever-present food items from pizza to burritos to bagels—became our main food source. In Food or Fiction?, bestselling author and former FDA commissioner David A. Kessler, MD, explains how the quest to feed a nation resulted in a population that is increasingly suffering from obesity and chronic disease, and offers an urgently needed course correction. While changes to farming, production, and distribution revolutionized our lifestyles, it also impacted our health as our bodies quietly contended with the metabolic chaos caused by consuming rapidly absorbable starch. Slowly but surely, these effects accumulated and became disastrous, leading to the health crisis we face today. In Food or Fiction?, Dr. Kessler explains how eating refined grains such as wheat, corn, and rice leads to a cascade of hormonal and metabolic issues that make it very easy to gain weight and nearly impossible to lose it. Worse still, he argues, is that this excess weight is making us sick, laying the groundwork for a host of diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cognitive decline, and a number of cancers. We can no longer afford to dismiss the consequences of eating food that is designed to be rapidly absorbed as sugar in our bodies. Food or Fiction? reveals in illuminating detail how we got to this critical turning point—and outlines a plan that allows us finally to regain control of our health.
