For many of us, time spent in recovery—from a broken leg, a virus, chronic illness, or the crisis of depression or anxiety—can feel like an unwelcome obstacle on the road to health. Modern medicine too often assumes that once doctors have prescribed a course of treatment, healing takes care of itself. But recovery isn’t something that “just happens.” It is an act that we engage in and that has the potential to transform our lives, if we can find ways to learn its rhythms and invest our time, energy, and participation. Drawing on thirty years of medicine, and on insights from practitioners, psychologists, and writers across history, physician Gavin Francis delivers a profound, practical, and deeply hopeful guide to recovery. Rejecting the idea that healing is passive, Recovery offers tools and wisdom for convalescence, and shows how tending to our bodies, environments, and perspectives can help us move through the landscape of illness—and come out the other side whole. RECOVERY is an expert guide to the secret

Something interesting happened when physicians started prescribing medications that were developed for people with type 2 diabetes. They saw that these patients often experienced a reduced appetite followed by weight loss. The most popular currently, Semaglutide (sold as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and others), affects hormones and appetite to help people lose weight. These drugs are currently trending on social media and the news, with many influencers touting them as a miracle weight loss drug.  But just like everything in the nutrition-world, there is a complex list of pros, cons, and questions that are left to be explored when it comes to these and other weight loss medications. If you’ve been wondering about all these weight loss drugs buzzing in the news and online, it’s time to better understand what they are, who they’re for, and some of the ethics and considerations behind using them.

Thousands of heart patients are getting better instead of slowly worse because their doctors are targeting something new. Usually, when someone is told that their arteries are hardened or blocked, they're prescribed drugs or surgery that minimize the symptoms. They might also be told how diet and exercise can slow it but no treatment will stop or reverse the process.That's changing. These are the stories of doctors, patients, and scientists who together are reversing the damage caused by hidden stress. Their successes are opening doors to discovering the nature of longevity.The challenge that they're targeting is when the immune system backfires due to hidden stresses such as toxic metals and low-grade infections. These aren't on the standard list of heart risks.Advanced technology combined with personalized approaches are driving a wave of affordable prevention and therapy that target these risks.In response to this, more patients are taking charge of their own health. The stories of how they're doing it are

While the world begins to grapple with the promise and pitfalls of artificial intelligence, its potential impact on science and medicine is fast becoming the subject of discussion. As the use of AI techniques to analyze data become more widespread, it raises the question of how long science and medicine will even continue to be driven by human intellect.But before we try to imagine the future of these fields, we need to take an honest look at how science and medicine are currently practiced. That's what Ben Lewin does in this book, covering everything from the "grant game" that doctors and scientists have to play (doing the research they think can get funded rather than the research they think will most benefit mankind), to the "publish or perish" mentality that permeates both teaching hospitals and universities (despite the fact that the papers are a "myth" in that they present the research process as linear even though that's not how science works), to the way politics can stall even the most promising fiel

Representative Adam Smith woke up one morning in April 2016 and seriously considered the possibility that he might never be able to get out of bed. Hobbled by crippling anxiety, chronic pain, muscle atrophy and a confusing cocktail of medications, he wasn’t sure what terrified him more: getting up or staying in bed. It’s a struggle millions of Americans know all too well. In his new memoir, Lost and Broken, Smith shares with unflinching honesty how he got to this lowest point in life, and how he slowly, painfully and unevenly found his way back to having a calmer mind and being free of chronic pain and medication.
