A revolutionary program that shows how to boost health, energy, and happiness by balancing brain chemistry. In this breakthrough book, two prominent doctors explain why an imbalance in our brain chemistry is behind a wide range of health problems and tells us what we can do to restore balance and achieve unprecedented levels of physical, mental, and emotional well-being. After showing how our overall health is connected to our balance of neurotransmitters (the chemicals that regulate our brain and nervous system) dopamine, serotonin, and others, the authors present a simple and revealing questionnaire that tells readers whether they are warming-deficient, cooling-deficient, or are both warming and cooling deficient. A warming deficiency, for instance, may lead to weight gain, diminished sex drive, inability to focus, and addictions, whereas a cooling deficiency may cause anxiety, depression, and an increased risk of heart disease.
The book then offers easy and thorough 30-day plans to remedy most imbalances through exercise, diet, supplements, and lifestyle changes; it also explains how to treat more serious imbalances, in consultation with a physician, using hormones, antidepressants, and more. This book is destined for major attention and sales.
