The Plant Paradox by Steven R Grundy

Is gluten bad…or is there more to the story?  Nearly everyone has heard of gluten, a protein found in wheat that can cause widespread inflammation in the body.  Millions of dollars are spent on gluten-free diets, but what if we’re missing the root of the problem?  

Respected cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry in his New York Times Bestseller, The Plant Paradox, reveals that gluten is just one type of a common, and highly toxic, plant-based protein called lectin.  Not only are lectins found in grains like wheat, but they’re also in the “gluten-free” foods many regard as healthy, including many fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and dairy products. These proteins, found in the seeds, grains, skins, rinds, and leaves of plants, are designed by nature to protect them from predators (including humans). Once ingested, they can cause inflammatory reactions that can lead to weight gain and serious health conditions.

With a full list of lectin-containing foods and simple substitutes for each, a step-by-step detox and eating plan, and delicious lectin-free recipes, The Plant Paradox illuminates the hidden dangers lurking in your salad bowl—and shows you how to eat whole foods in a whole new way.  It’s a fascinating read that offers many potential health benefits – download it now and get started!

Intermittent Fasting Guide by Alex Chase 

Chances are you’ve heard about fasting… but it might seem like a mystery.
Alex Chase has provided an easy-to-understand guide to fasting and explains why intermittent fasting is one of the best ways to lose weight.  

Why? 

Because our bodies were designed to eat like this. From as far back as our earliest ancestors, our bodies had to adapt to fluctuations in food availability, meaning that we could often go for long periods without eating. Now this method has been adopted as a weight loss program and people are enjoying enormous success! 

In the Intermittent Fasting Guide, you’ll find information and advice on things like: What Is Intermittent Fasting? — Which Type of Intermittent Fasting Should You Adopt?  — Should You Watch Your Diet? — Common Mistakes to Avoid — Should I Exercise While Fasting? 

Forget about all the diets that failed, the ones that don’t allow certain foods, and diets that promise you everything and don’t deliver. With the Intermittent Fasting Guide, you have a diet that works and will not only help you lose weight but keep it off, too. Download your copy and start listening now!

The Hormone Reset Diet by Sara Gottfried

How are hormones and weight loss connected?

Many of us don’t think about hormones in conjunction to weight loss. 

But Harvard-educated Dr. Sara Gottfried shares what happens when you develop resistance to your seven major metabolic hormones—cortisol, thyroid, testosterone, growth hormone, leptin, insulin, and estrogen — and how your body adjusts by increasingly raising your hormone levels and ultimately slowing down your metabolism. And a slower metabolism leads to weight gain.

Her solution is to reset the efficiency of your hormones by repairing and growing new hormone receptors.  Based on leading scientific research, The Hormone Reset Diet is her proven weight loss and energy program to reverse hormone resistance in just three weeks.  Her program can help boost your metabolism, increase weight loss, and reverse aging through hormone optimization.  Gottfried gets to the issues of low energy, fatigue, low sex drive, anxiety, and weight gain in an entertaining and persuasive way.  We think you’ll love it and learn from it.  Download it now!
