Former fighter and Ivy League football player Mark Tullius wanted to support his friends with traumatic brain injuries and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. But when presented with a scan of his own gray matter, his life changed forever. After years of lying to himself and insisting he felt fine, Mark had to face the fact that his time on the field and in the cage had caused potentially irreparable damage inside his skull.

It’s hard to know what’s meant to be healthy. If you read the news, you’ll see headlines praising a food one day, and then condemning it the next. You’ll see people selling you miracle cures for conditions that they’ve invented. You’ll realize that powerful industries control the information that’s given the most airtime, and that ultimately, you’re better off trying to find out the truth for yourself.

What do obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, fatty liver disease, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, neurological disorders, and premature death have in common? All can be stoked by high uric acid levels. Our most respected scientific literature is bursting with evidence that elevated uric acid levels lie at the root of many pervasive health conditions, but mainstream medicine for the most part remains unaware of this connection.

In this absorbing narrative, Dr. Chris Honey, an accomplished neurosurgeon at Vancouver General Hospital, weaves his personal journey together with case studies that reflect the thrill of scientific discovery and the limitations of medicine. Operating on a terminally ill child amid an Ebola outbreak in Liberia, he questions his preconceptions about what it means to "win" against a disease. Reflecting on his own path into neurosurgery, he brings to life a relatively new, high stakes field of medicine—one that historically demanded emotional detachment and often attracts extreme personalities

Die Kapazität unseres Gehirns ist begrenzt. Jeder kennt das Gefühl, dass es nach einem langen Tag schwer ist, sich zu konzentrieren, schwierige Entscheidungen zu treffen oder sich in andere hineinzuversetzen - wir leben in einer chronisch erschöpften Gesellschaft. Seit Jahren schrumpft die Kapazität unseres mentalen Akkus. Bewegungsmangel, falsche Ernährung, schädliche Stoffe in der Umwelt, fehlende oder schädliche soziale Interaktion, digitale Dauerbeschallung: Wir leben nicht unserer Natur entsprechend, was dazu führt, dass die Leistung unseres Gehirns immer weiter abnimmt.

ALS is a deadly disease that didn't want to let go of me. I went from hope to planning my own death as a way of escaping this demon. My journey is a view into the life of a person who needs 24-hour care, never any privacy. I was given 18 months to get my affairs in order. That lead me to seeking a higher power than the doctors. I have never witnessed an energy healing until it happened to me. This book is my call to each of you and your family who are challenged by ALS. My frame of mind was my only power.

En till två procent av Sveriges vuxna befolkning diagnostiseras med borderline personlighetsstörning. Men vad innebär det egentligen? Ordet borderline i sig säger inte mycket om den svåra psykiska störning diagnosen innebär. Författaren och psykologen Görel Kristina Näslund har i samarbete med forskare på Karolinska institutet i Stockholm skrivit en bok som sammanfattar och belyser diagnosen borderline personlighetsstörning i sin helhet, komplett med symtom, behandlingsalternativ och orsaker.

Multiple sclerosis. Parkinson’s disease. Alzheimer’s. ALS. Chances are that you know someone with a neurologic disease. Because the brain controls so much and is integral to our identity, the diseases that affect it are uniquely devastating both to patients and families. And because it remains the most mysterious of our vital organs, treating the brain is an ongoing puzzle.

Traumatic brain injury and me? Don’t be silly! Really? You know someone who is coping with a devastating loss of brain control. Often it’s obvious, maybe unsettling, but in some people it doesn’t announce itself like physical challenges do. So? You do know someone. You’re left upset, helpless, unfamiliar, confused, and may even be suffering from survivor’s guilt. It affects accident and war victims who, until recently, would have died of physical trauma.

A fascinating, darkly funny comeback story of learning to live with a broken mind after a near-fatal traumatic brain injury - from the acclaimed author of The Hike.

¿Qué aspectos del entorno permiten que nuestro cerebro prospere en lugar de enfermar? Esta pregunta surgió en la mente del reconocido documentalista Max Lugavere luego de reconocer en su madre los primeros síntomas de una misteriosa forma de demencia. Una incógnita nacida de una dolorosa experiencia que, al transformarse en una búsqueda incansable de la verdad, lo llevó a reunir respuestas entre las investigaciones más innovadoras de la ciencia de la salud cerebral, y cuyos resultados cambiarán para siempre la manera en que concebimos nuestro órgano más delicado.

I have had Parkinson’s disease (PD) for 22 years. I am told I have a mild case, but it is still my PD, and I live with it 24/7. It would be a gross understatement to say my life was changed forever. Interestingly, many of these changes have made me a more compassionate, empathetic, and caring person. In part, this book was motivated by the following premise: Many of us will experience a life-changing event that will cause us to pause and reassess where we are, what we do, and why we do it. For some, it might be the death of a loved one or a personal tragedy.

Despite the rapid advances in medical science, the majority of people who visit a doctor have medically unexplained symptoms (MUS), symptoms that remain a mystery despite extensive diagnostic studies. The most common MUS are back pain, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, and dizziness. This book addresses the obstacles of managing people with MUS in our modern-day society from both a historical and contemporary perspective.

Exciting new discoveries in the treatment and prevention of memory loss. A world-renowned neurologist presents the first groundbreaking memory-loss protection plan.

Eminent psychiatrist Dr Alastair Santhouse draws on his experience of treating thousands of hospital patients to show how our emotions are inextricably linked to our physical wellbeing. Our minds shape the way we understand and react to symptoms that we develop, dictate the treatments we receive and influence whether they work. They even influence whether we develop symptoms at all. Written with brutal honesty, deep compassion and a wry sense of humour, Head First examines difficult cases that illuminate some of our most puzzling and controversial medical issues.

Memory: A Very Short Introduction explores the fascinating intricacies of human memory. Is it one thing or many? How does memory change as we age? And what about so-called recovered memories - can they be relied upon as a record of what actually happened in our personal past? This book brings together our most recent knowledge to address (in a scientifically rigorous but highly accessible way) these and many other important questions about how memory works, and why we can't live without it.
