How to sleep like a caveman : ancient wisdom for a better night's rest / by Laar, Merijn van de,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 219-281) and index."We spend roughly a third of our lives in bed, but for millions of us, not all of that time is spent sleeping. We strive for eight hours per night, only to lie awake thanks to stress, our ever-present devices, a new baby, or that 4pm coffee you thought you needed. As sleep scientist and recovering insomniac Merijn van de Laar shows, we're hardly the first to experience this. When homo sapiens evolved hundreds of thousands of years ago, when saber-toothed tigers were their biggest nighttime worry, wakefulness served to protect one's tribe at night. Research shows these episodic sleep patterns even gave our ancestors an evolutionary advantage. We can look to their example for guidance in improving our sleep health, too: how our sleep patterns change as we age, the benefits of communal sleep, the importance of environmental factors such as temperature and light. While our myriad gadgets may distinguish us from early humans, understanding the ways our brains evolved to rest can chart the course toward a better night's sleep. Drawing from emerging science, archaeological research into our ancestors' habits, and close observation of contemporary hunter-gatherer cultures, How to Sleep Like a Caveman explains everything from why we sometimes jerk awake at night-likely a remnant of having slept in trees-to why our efforts to "optimize" our sleep schedules might just be a fool's errand. The result is a surprising, accessible new framework for thinking about sleep-the way we were designed to"--

The circadian diabetes code : discover the right time to eat, sleep, and exercise to prevent and reverse prediabetes and diabetes / by Panda, Satchin,author.(CARDINAL)692351;
Introduction -- Understanding diabetes and the circadian code. Diabetes explained ; Broken clocks: how circadian rhythms get out of sync ; The circadian breakthrough in diabetes research ; A broken circadian rhythm influences diabetes -- Enhancing your circadian code. When to eat ; What to eat ; When to exercise ; Optimize sleep and light exposure -- 12 weeks to reversing diabetes. Managing and reversing diabetes symptoms ; The 12-week challenge."In The Circadian Diabetes Solution, senior Salk Institute researcher Satchin Panda, PhD, takes circadian rhythm science to the next level of medical treatment. Based on cutting-edge research from his own and others' labs, the time-restricted eating program that forms the backbone of the intermittent fasting weight loss protocol has been scientifically shown to be an effective tool in the personal fight against diabetes. It's not what you eat that makes a difference, it's when. His core recommendation is to select a ten-hour window of time within which readers can comfortably eat all of their food and beverages almost every day. By doing so, they will see several benefits: They can reverse pre-diabetes, better manage type 2 diabetes with less medication, enhance immunity, and lose weight along the way. This complete protocol shows readers how to time their eating, including carbs, with their blood glucose response, which varies between day and night. It includes plans for optimal timing for sleep, exercise, and medication"--Includes bibliographical references (pages 248-260) and index.

Good energy : the surprising connection between metabolism and limitless health / by Means, Casey,author.(CARDINAL)888829; Means, Calley,author.(CARDINAL)888830;
Introduction: everything is connected -- Part I : the truth about energy. Siloed health vs. energy-centric health ; Bad energy is the root of disease ; Trust yourself, not your doctor -- Part 2 : creating good energy. Your body has the answers: how to read your blood tests and get actionable insights from wearables ; The six principles of good energy eating ; Creating a good energy meal ; Respecting your biological clock: light, sleep, and meal timing ; Replenishing what modernity took away: movement, temperature, and nontoxic living ; Fearlessness: the highest level of good energy -- Part 3 : the good energy plan -- Part 4 : good energy recipes."What if depression, anxiety, infertility, insomnia, heart disease, erectile dysfunction, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's, dementia, cancer and many other health conditions that torture and shorten our lives actually have the same root cause? 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."--

Change your schedule, change your life : how to harness the power of clock genes to lose weight, optimize your workout, and finally get a good night's sleep / by Kshirsagar, Suhas G.,author.(CARDINAL)406643; Seaton, Michelle D.,author.(CARDINAL)675291;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 267-271)."An eye-opening handbook from a leading Ayurvedic physician that blends cutting-edge science on "clock genes" with ancient eastern wisdom to help us understand how to harness the power of chronobiology to effortlessly lose weight, sleep better, exercise stronger, reduce stress, and boost our well being. "It's not you, it's your schedule." Does it sound like magic? It's not. We've all heard of circadian rhythms--those biological processes that give us jet lag and make us night owls or early birds. But fewof us know just how profoundly these diurnal patterns affect our overall health. Bad habits like skipping meals, squeezing in workouts when it's convenient, working late into the night to maximize productivity and then trying to "catch up" on sleep duringthe weekend disrupt our natural cycles. A growing body of research on chronobiology reveals just how sensitive the human body is to these rhythms all the way down to the genetic level. Our "clock genes" control more than we realize, and small changes canmake the difference between battling our bodies, and effortlessly managing weight, sleep, stress, inflammation, and more. Marrying ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with the latest scientific research, Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar's holistic step-by-step 30-day plan gives you the tools--and the schedule--you need to transform your life. With diagnostic quizzes to determine your specific mind-body type, you will learn to adapt you schedule for effortless wellness for life"--

Peak : the new science of athletic performance that is revolutionizing sports / by Bubbs, Marc,author.(CARDINAL)805272;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 321-356) and index.Sleep and circadian rhythms -- The athlete microbiome -- Blood sugars and longevity -- Physique nutriion -- Endurance nutrition -- Team sport nutrition -- Periodize recovery -- Athlete immunity -- Athlete monitoing and recovery strategies -- Brain health and concussions -- Emotions and mindset -- Leadership and great coaching."There is a new revolution happening in sports as more and more athletes are basing their success on this game-changing combination: health, nutrition, training, recovery, and mindset. Unfortunately, the evidence-based techniques that the expert PhDs, academic institutions, and professional performance staffs follow can be in stark contrast to what many athletes actually practice. When combined with the noise of social media, old-school traditions, and bro-science, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction. Peak is a groundbreaking book exploring the fundamentals of high performance (not the fads), the importance of consistency (not extreme effort), and the value of patience (not rapid transformation). Dr. Marc Bubbs makes deep science easy to understand, and with information from leading experts who are influencing the top performers in sports on how to achieve world-class success, he lays out the record-breaking feats of athleticism and strategies that are rooted in this personalized approach.Dr. Bubbs expertly brings together the worlds of health, nutrition, and exercise and synthesizes the salient science into actionable guidance. Regardless if you.
