Now out in tradepaper is The Sugar Brain Fix (a revised and updated
edition of Diet Rehab), in which best-selling author and brain-health
expert, Dr. Mike Dow, shows how sugar affects brain chemistry and
provides new research on dieting and hypnosis.
What makes a healthy brain? The answer is simpler than you think.
In Diet Rehab, Dr. Mike Dow shared a simple, yet powerful plan to help
readers kick their food addictions. Since then, Dr. Dow has gone on to
become a New York Times best-selling author and has continued to
research and publish books extensively on improving brain health. Over
the past five years, he's gathered even more data that shows how our
standard American diet is harming our brains and our bodies--and what we
can do about it. In 2015, the first human study linking the blood-sugar
spiking Western diet and a smaller hippocampus was published. There is
now scientific proof that sugar is shrinking the brain!
With The Sugar Brain Fix, Dr. Dow takes a closer look at how sugar
affects brain chemistry, and the ways we can fix it. The book features
cutting-edge research and Dr. Dow's modified Mediterranean diet--the
best diet for brain health and wellness.
The Sugar Brain Fix will also incorporate research about hypnosis, and
other activities to naturally boost brain health. At its core, The Sugar
Brain Fix is a cognitive behavioral guide for boosting serotonin and
dopamine levels in the brain with a new-and-improved diet and natural
mind-set shifts, while improving overall health. The diet has a
clinically proven, 3-prong approach: 1) eliminate sugar, 2) boost
Mediterranean-diet-friendly fats, 3) increase probiotics.
