Good energy / Casey Means.

Humans are getting sicker, fatter, and more depressed, despite huge advances in medical 'cures' and treatments. A system that relies on surgery and drugs rather than prevention and lifestyle changes, is entirely unsustainable. When Dr Casey Means was in medical school and residency, it became clear to her that doctors were trained to think of patients as 42 unrelated parts and commonly performed procedures and prescribed medications that potentially inhibited their ability to recover from their ailments long-term. This book is at the forefront of preventative and holistic medicine and lifestyle.

Burn : the misunderstood science of metabolism / Herman Pontzer.

Why do so many diets lead to more weight gain? Do more active people have faster metabolisms? Is exercise essential for weight loss? Over the past twenty years, evolutionary biologist Herman Pontzer has conducted ground-breaking studies across a range of settings, including pioneering fieldwork with Hadza hunter-gatherers in northern Tanzania. This book draws on his eye-opening research to show how, contrary to received wisdom, exercise does not increase our metabolism.
