Opis

If you feel trapped in a vicious downward spiral of food cravings, obesity, and ill health, youre not alone. Although several excellent studies and books have made the connection to stress, sedentary lifestyle, and dietary salt, sugar, and fat, theyre still missing the critical pieces to unlocking the puzzle of what is really making you sick-and without an understanding of those missing pieces, and especially the critical roles of the stress hormone cortisol and internal inflammation-your chances of regaining full health and vitality are not good. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Weinstein explains in simple terms exactly what goes wrong in our bodies and precisely why our modern lifestyle and poor dietary choices can lead to such a bewildering variety of symptoms and diseases. Once you understand the common factors leading to obesity, illness, and even premature death, the author further empowers you with a commonsense, easy-to-follow program that will show you how to break the cycle of illness and regain and maintain vibrant health. Praise for this book: "I believe Dr. Weinsteins work has much to teach us in allopathic medicine. I regret that I was not taught more about diet and the issue of inflammation in medical school ... I believe this book would be a useful addition to any medical library, and it would be a good book for us medical doctors to have in our waiting rooms for our patients to read and ask us questions about." -Jennifer J. Choate, M.D. Hematology and Oncology "Weinstein illustrates the effects of cortisol in a way that is provocative, illuminating, and easy to understand...This book will provide those in the helping professions a whole new set of tools to refer to their clients. A must for the library of any human service professional." -Bonnie Randall, BSW, RSW, Clinical Addictions Counselor "No Wonder You Feel Like Crap! is a scientifically rigorous yet clearly and concisely written explanation of exactly what its title states and how to change that condition. Rather than being yet another gloom and doom presentation of the inevitability of the title experience, Dr. Weinstein provides a simple and easy to follow protocol to reclaim the health and vitality that every person should experience on a daily basis. Unlike many poorly researched and grossly exaggerated "get healthy quick" schemes, every claim made and every health-enhancing protocol described is supported by documented results from the scientific literature in addition to over 30 years of Dr. Weinsteins own on-going research and clinical results: there are more scientific references cited than there are pages in this book." - Dr. Gary Fisher, PhD
