Publishing Date: 2023

Classification: 600

Call Number: 612.68 LYO

"Learn how to reboot your metabolism, build strength, and extend your life with this accessible new guidebook that demonstrates the importance of muscle for health and longevity from the founder of the Institute for Muscle-Centric Medicine. After years of watching patients cycle through her practice, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon noticed a pattern. While her patients struggled with a wide range of conditions, they all suffered from the same core problem: they had too little muscle rather than too much fat. When we think about muscle, we tend to think about strength or aesthetics, but in reality, muscle accounts for so much more than that. As the body's largest endocrine organ, muscle actually determines everything about the trajectory of health and aging. Many of the conditions Dr. Lyon's patients were experiencing were actually symptoms of underdeveloped or unhealthy muscle. Now, Dr. Lyon offers an easy-to-follow food, fitness, and self-care program anchored in evidence and pioneering research that teaches you how to optimize muscle-no matter your age or health background. Discover how to overcome everything from obesity to autoimmune disorders and avoid diseases like Alzheimer's, hypertension, and diabetes by following Dr. Lyon's powerful new approach to becoming forever strong"--

Operator syndrome

By Frueh, Chris

Publishing Date: [2024]

Classification: 600

Call Number: 616.8 FRU

Step into the hidden world of elite warriors--Green Berets, Navy SEALs, Air Force PJs, Marine Raiders, etc.--who are haunted by a unique constellation of injuries, born out of years, even decades, of fighting the Global War on Terror. Operator Syndrome identifies and describes the profound impact that years of extreme sacrifice have had on our military special operators and their loved ones. Drawing upon his thirty years of experience with clinical trials, historical epidemiology, and neuroscience research--as well as a decade of applied efforts with special operators across all branches of the U.S. military--acclaimed clinical psychologist Chris Frueh, Ph.D., uncovers a pattern of interrelated afflictions: traumatic brain injury, hormonal dysregulation, sleep apnea, chronic pain, depression, anger, insomnia, addiction, existential angst, and more. Dr. Frueh guides us through the harrowing terrain of Operator Syndrome. He provides a roadmap to understand its multifaceted origins and complex effects on every biological system in the body--as well as the social systems of family, work, and the indifferent society these warriors return to. He explains how modern healthcare systems, especially Veterans Affairs, have too often relied on the PTSD "easy button" and failed a generation of men and women who have carried the brunt of the fight since 9/11. Frueh shines a bright and empathic light on the silent struggles of a community with a "never quit" mindset. Most importantly, he provides real solutions, lifestyle adaptations, and step-by-step treatment strategies that have worked for hundreds of operators, saving lives and giving hope to families.

Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions - and feel incredible today - is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function - the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr. Casey Means explains in this groundbreaking book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create "good energy," the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our physical and mental wellbeing. If you are battling minor signals of "bad energy" inside your body, it is often a warning sign that more life-threatening illness may emerge later in life. But here's the good news: for the first time ever, we can monitor our metabolic health in great detail and learn how to improve it ourselves"--

Where the light comes from: a memoir

By Uiga, Endel

Publishing Date: ©2020

Classification: 600

Call Number: 621.381 UIG

Endel Uiga was born on March 3, 1918 just days after Estonia declared its independence from Russia. He and his country came of age together, before their destinies diverged during World War II. In his memoir he describes the idyllic life of a curious and ingenious child with great promise for a successful future while a roiling undercurrent of unrest pervaded eastern Europe. Although there is a plethora of memoirs written about World War II, the plight of the Baltic nations, and particularly that of Estonia has been largely overlooked. Still, more than a recounting of historical facts or the personal reminiscences of a centenarian, the story holds universal truths. Uiga’s message is clear. Democracy is fragile, hard won and easily lost. It’s a warning. Citizens in a democracy must make wise choices rather than merely expeditious ones. There’s a lot at stake. He calls us to be ever vigilant, upholding democratic principles for the sake of freedom not just now, but for generations to come.—cover.
