Based on the latest science, the audiobook identifies the mental hijacking that undermines each and every one of us, and it presents the tools necessary to think more clearly, make better decisions, strengthen bonds with others and develop healthier habits.

For some, the idea of fasting by eating only one or two meals a day still sounds like an extreme and overly restrictive dieting tactic. But many of us already feel like victims to our daily eating schedule: three meals a day, plus snacks. Eat every few hours, we are told by the experts. This fixed eating schedule has become the norm. But the truth is this is an artificially constructed schedule that does not reflect our bodies natural and most optimal eating schedule.

A 66-day plan for going sugar-free from an eating disorder specialist and therapist who broke free of her own sugar addiction. Our relationship with food can be complicated: for many, food soothes painful emotions, it nurtures, it numbs, it provides a 'high'. Breaking Up With Sugar offers a plan for the complete transformation of many people's destructive relationship with food. For these people, sugar is often the culprit: it produces physical, neurological and endocrine changes that render the individual powerless over their compulsion to eat.

For decades, the diet wars have pitted advocates for the low-carb, high-fat paleo diet against advocates of the exclusively plant-based vegan diet and dozens of other diets, leaving most of us bewildered and confused. For those of us on the sidelines, trying to figure out which approach is best has been nearly impossible - both extreme diets have unique benefits and drawbacks. But how can it be, we've asked desperately, that our only options are bacon and butter three times a day or endless kale salads? There must be a better way!

In this new age of wellness, many famous figures have cashed in on the same underpinnings of diet culture that disproportionately harm women and people of colour and are often derived from the cultural traditions of Indigenous peoples, and ultimately don't actually promote health. Weaving together history, memoir, reporting, and practical advice with a deft hand, Harrison leads the way in a radical re-thinking of wellness and provides a vision-and a roadmap-to create a truly health-promoting society.

This bold, comprehensive guide to understanding women's health shakes up the narrative for women of all ages. The Female Factor provides methods to protect and maximise your health in positive, affirming steps.

Dr Davis has connected the dots between 'gut health' and many common, modern ailments and complaints. One in three people have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), which causes a long list of health issues and illnesses; it is a silent and profound epidemic created by the absence of microbial species that our ancestors had even 50-100 years ago, which have been erased by the industrialisation of food and medicine.

A combination of Professor Felice Jacka's love of food and her own experience of depression and anxiety as a young woman led her to question whether what we put in our mouths every day affects more than our waistline. Felice set out on a journey of discovery to change the status quo and uncover the truth through rigorous science. Beginning her PhD in 2005, she examined the association between women's diets and their mental health, focusing on depression and anxiety. She soon discovered - you feel how you eat.

Arriving at a time where issues of inflammation and gut health are becoming increasingly prominent within mainstream discourses, Dr Will Cole offers us a solution to this growing issue. The Inflammation Spectrum teaches us that ultimately how we feel is symbiotically linked to what we consume; indeed, food, in Cole's words, 'constantly and dynamically influences' our health. Subsequently he teaches listeners how to do nutrition the right way.

In The Diet Whisperer, Dr Paul Barrington Chell and Dr Monique Hope-Ross explain in simple terms why we are now struggling with our weight. And the answers are very surprising.

In this remarkable book on wellness, the two doctors tell us exactly how to lose weight, lose it quickly and lose it forever.

A revolutionary new diet program based on the latest science showing the importance of fat in weight loss and overall health, from New York Times number one best-selling author Mark Hyman. For decades we've been told that the fat we eat turns to fat in the body, contributing to weight gain, heart disease, diabetes, and generally poor health. And yet, even with all our low-fat products, we're fatter and sicker than ever before. What's going on? Could it be that the most feared food group is actually...the most helpful?

When we walk we find the space to process our feelings, and we begin to have the courage to be vulnerable and honest with ourselves. Walking awakens the intuition that helps us face up to our difficulties and walk alongside them, enabling us to find positive solutions to our problems. Our ancestors knew all about movement - they walked across the planet, understanding nature and learning to respect and work in harmony with it.

In Anti-Diet, Christy Harrison takes on diet culture and the multi-billion-pound industries that profit from it, exposing all the ways it robs people of their time, money, health and happiness. It will turn what you think you know about health and wellness upside down, as Harrison explores the history of diet culture, how it's infiltrated the health and wellness world, how to recognise it in all its sneaky forms, and how letting go of efforts to lose weight or eat 'perfectly' actually helps to improve people's health - no matter their size.
