Do you sometimes feel that you're less sharp than you could be? Or do you feel that your mental energy isn't where you want it to be? Did you know that you can change the way that you think and feel by changing what you eat? And most importantly - it's something you need to start doing right now. It's hard to know what's meant to be healthy. If you ever read the news, all too often 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 realise 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. My name is Aisha Summers, and over my lifetime involvement in the nutrition industry, I've learned that the only way to truly empower yourself is through knowledge.

The worst things for your brain - the foods you really need to avoid. The surprising science that reveals the links between your diet and your mental health.

It's not just what kind of food that you eat - but the quantities and timing make a difference as well. The ways to reorientate your life to make sure your brain is at its best, and how food can take a central role. A lot of people feel that the health of your brain is something that you only need to start thinking about when you get old. But the things that you're eating right now, the food that you're putting into your body on a daily basis, is laying the groundwork for how your brain will function in the future. This isn't a problem that can be left to be dealt with later. Keeping your brain in the best possible health should be your top priority. Take action now, by building your knowledge. This book will provide you with the advice and information that you can immediately put into action for yourself and to help the people you love.

Exercise, a healthy diet, stress management, sound sleep: Most practitioners would agree that living well can mitigate the impact of mental disorders. Yet many are unprepared to address lifestyle factors in their care of patients. Lifestyle Psychiatry seeks to instill confidence by collating and analyzing the impressive emerging body of evidence that supports the efficacy of healthy lifestyle practices -- both as the primary intervention and in conjunction with traditional treatments such as psychopharmacology or psychotherapy -- in preventing and managing psychiatric disorders. This volume examines the impact of lifestyle interventions -- from exercise, yoga, and tai chi to mindfulness and meditation, diet and nutrition, and sleep management -- on psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, and addiction. Readers can readily find data to support the use of specific lifestyle interventions for a patient presenting with a specific disorder. Detailed descriptions of the mechanisms of each lifestyle intervention also prepare practitioners to educate their patients on the specific neurobiological and psychological effects of these interventions to support their recovery. With chapters that focus on developing a robust therapeutic alliance and inspiring patients to assume responsibility for their own well-being, this guide provides a framework for lasting, sustainable lifestyle changes. Additionally, the book discusses the impact of the provider's lifestyle on clinical behavior and the implications of lifestyle medicine and psychiatry for health care systems and population health, offering a broader examination of the important role this new field can play in leading a sophisticated, holistic approach to optimizing wellness.
