    The Prime: Prepare and Repair Your Body for Spontaneous Weight Loss , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 520min
    Lose Weight, Get Sharper...No Diet Required Integrative neurologist Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary discovered a beautiful side effect to the eating and lifestyle tools she gave her brain patients - shedding excess pounds. In this, her first book, she shows listeners that weight gain is a result of the body being in a toxic, inflammatory state. If your body is not prepared, or "primed", for weight loss, you will fight an uphill biochemical battle, and the odds of succeeding are slim. So she's reverse engineered our way of eating, so we can stop dieting backward and start succeeding instead. Using a blend of cutting-edge science and ancient wisdom, Dr. Chaudhary has crafted a plan like no other. In it, she shares: The importance of neuroadaptation, food addiction, and the brain (or, why it's not your fault that dieting has been so hard in the past!) Why it's not what you eat but what you digest How to determine if you have a leaky brain - and what the Prime can do about it (hint: everything) The four stages of the Prime - 1. Activate a biochemical shift. 2. Crush cravings (no willpower required). 3. Ignite energy and fat. 4. Biohack your lifestyle habits. - and how they'll help you spontaneously shed pounds by adding (not subtracting) simple teas and supplements and without giving up any foods you love. Lastly, you'll learn how to live fully Primed, the secrets of the Super-Primed, and, when you're ready to explore new foods, how to eat according to your unique constitution. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.   ungekürzt.

    The Roots of Violence: Why Humans Are Not by Nature Violent: Essays on Law, Policy, and Psychiatry, Volume 10 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 191min
    The Roots of Violence: Why Humans Are Not by Nature Violent (Essays on Law, Policy and Psychiatry, Vol. 10, 2018) is an analytical and policy study that presents abundant evidence that human beings are not by nature violent and that violence therefore is a conditioned response. The scientific disciplines examined are anthropology, biology, neurology, pedagogy, psychoanalysis, and sociology. The auidobook shows the historical development of the roots of violence as they sprang forth from the patriarchal murder cultures that were putting an end to the peaceful matriarchal empires such as the Minoan civilization in Crete. To begin with, anthropological research by Bronislaw Malinowski and Margaret Mead in Polynesia shows how a truly peaceful matriarchal cultures is permissive in their child-rearing paradigm, giving children ample space for exploring their bodies and their sexual attractions to peers, while adults stay out of that space entirely. Biological research conducted by Ashley Montagu with rhesus shows how important tactile stimulation is for the young and how early tactile deprivations leaves scares in the psyche in the form of a messed-up relational code. Furthermore, the research by neurologist Herbert James Campbell delivered evidence for the fact that all human endeavor is based upon pleasure, while later on, neuropsychologist James W. Prescott showed how pleasure and violence are mutually exclusive, which means that when pleasure, sexual, tactile, or other, is repressed, violence comes up in the brain as an "alternative conditioned response". Based on the research being on the table, the author draws policy conclusions for the prevention of violence both in the social and the educational domain. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    To the Best of Our Knowledge: Brainstorm, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
    In this hour, autism's a tricky diagnosis. And its causes - and increasingly frequent diagnosis - are also mysterious. In this interview, Harvard Medical School neurologist Martha Herbert talks with Anne Strainchamps about unpacking autism. She advocates a whole-body approach, which looks at environmental toxins, vitamin deficiencies and immune problems. Next, a few years ago, the marriage of David and Kristen Finch was falling apart. They barely spoke anymore. And then Kristen asked David to take a test - a quiz with 153 questions that led to a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome. The diagnosis changed their lives. They talk about how the recognition of Aspergers changed how they relate to each other. Then, forty years ago, Richie Davidson was a Harvard grad student who dreamed of studying the emotional life of the brain. His professors told him he this was a bad idea. They said emotions had nothing to do with how the mind thinks. Well, times have changed, and Davidson is famous for his pioneering research on the neuroscience of emotion and mindfulness. Here, he tells Steve Paulson about decoding our emotional states. What happens in your brain when you dance? It turns out neuroscientists have been investigating the question, and it would seem that we're born to dance. Frank Browning talks with scientists and choreographers about the "dancing brain." Finally, Neuroscientist V.S. Ramachandran is renowned for his ability to crack strange neurological mysteries, from patients who think they're dead to people with phantom limb syndrome. His work has not only helped cure his patients; it's also led to new insights into our neural pathways. He tells Steve Paulson about the science behind phantom limb syndrome and his ingenious treatment for it. [Broadcast Date: April 18, 2012] Language: English.

    Inside the O'Briens: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 673min
    From award-winning, New York Times best-selling author Lisa Genova comes a powerful new novel that does for Huntington's disease what her debut Still Alice did for Alzheimer's. Joe O'Brien is a 44-year-old Boston police officer from the Irish Catholic neighborhood of Charlestown, Massachusetts. A devoted husband, a proud father of four children in their 20s, and a respected, seasoned law enforcement officer, Joe begins experiencing bouts of disorganized thinking, uncharacteristic temper outbursts, and strange, involuntary movements. He initially attributes these episodes to aging and the cumulative physical and psychological stress of his job, but as these symptoms worsen, he agrees to see a neurologist and is handed a diagnosis that will change his and his family's lives forever: Huntington's disease. Huntington's is a lethal neurodegenerative disease with no treatment and no cure. And it is genetic. Each of Joe's four children has a 50 percent chance of inheriting their father's disease, and a simple blood test can reveal their genetic fate. While watching their potential futures in their father's escalating symptoms, the children struggle with the questions this test imposes on their young adult lives, including his youngest, 21-year-old Katie. Does she want to know? What if she's gene positive? Can she live with the constant anxiety of not knowing? As Joe's symptoms worsen, and he's eventually stripped of his badge and more, he struggles to maintain his identity and sense of purpose. How can he find hope in a situation that feels hopeless? How can he find courage without any armor or weapons? What else might he be able to pass down to his children other than a fatal disease? Where is the honor in living and dying with Huntington's? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Skipp Sudduth. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/sans/007031/bk_sans_007031_sample.mp3.
