Nosotros somos los arquitectos del destino de nuestra salud a partir de las decisiones que tomamos. Estas páginas presentan las mejores recomendaciones extraídas de nuestras investigaciones médicas más respetables, para empoderar al lector con herramientas que afecten de manera positiva su futuro.» DAVID PERLMUTTER, autor de Cerebro de pan, bestseller #1 de The New York Times La crítica ha dicho: «Laura Baeza, en este bello libro, nos conduce a una inquietante trama, donde prevalecen terribles preguntas, ¿quién es en realidad la gente que queremos?, ¿la conocemos realmente? Y la pregunta más terrible de todas, ¿sabemos en qué país vivimos? Laura consigue lo que desea todo escritor, mover de sitio al lector, hacerlo voltear hacia donde nunca imaginó. Los invito a subirse a este viaje por los misterios de la condición humana, no se arrepentirán.» Guillermo Arriaga «Niebla ardiente lleva al lector por un viaje emocional y una montaña rusa de nostalgia. Es una novela escrita con prosa filigrana sobre la ausencia, la pérdida y lo que significa “hogar”.» Kevin Gerry Dunn «Laura Baeza ha escrito un sorprendente juego de espejos entre una mujer y su hermana: una novela cargada de nostalgia y ternura acerca de los lazos familiares que nos enredan más allá de lo que somos capaces de aceptar.» Ave Barrera «Laura Baeza nos sumerge en un universo femenino donde los propios sentimientos y las convenciones sociales son cuestionados, donde el océano Atlántico funge como barrera entre un doloroso pasado y un presente en apariencia en calma, pero en el que la tragedia se abre espacio.» Lola Ancira"

The Genius Life: Heal Your Mind, Strengthen Your Body, and Become Extraordinary

"The author of the New York Times bestselling Genius Foods is back with a lifestyle program for resetting your brain and body to its ''factory settings,'' to help fight fatigue, anxiety, and depression and to optimize cognitive health for a longer and healthier life. The human body was honed under unique conditions that no longer exist. The modern world has changed dramatically since our days as hunter gatherers, and it has caused widespread anxiety, stress, and disease, leaving our brains in disrepair. But science proves that the body and brain can be healed with the intervention of lifestyle protocols that help us to regain our cognitive birthright. In the Genius Life, Lugavere expands the Genius Foods plan, which focused on nutrition and how it affects brain health, and expands it to encompass a full lifestyle protocol. We know now that the health of our brains—including our cognitive function and emotional wellness—depend on the health of our gut, endocrine, cardiac and nervous systems as there is a constant feedback loop between all systems. Drawing on globe-spanning research into circadian biology, psychology, dementia prevention, cognitive optimization, and exercise physiology, the Genius Life shows how to integrate healthy choices in all aspects of our daily routines: eating, exercising, sleeping, detoxing, and more to create a healthy foundation for optimal cognitive health and performance. Among Max’s groundbreaking findings, you will discover: - A trick that gives you the equivalent of a ''marathon'' workout, in 10 minutes - How to get the benefits of an extra 1-2 extra servings of veggies daily without eating them - The hidden everyday chemicals that could be making you fat and sick - How to boost melatonin levels by up to 60% for deeper sleep without supplements The book features an achievable prescriptive 21-day plan for Genius Living that includes daily workouts, meal plans, and meal prep tips, and accompanied with helpful suggestions for healthy swaps and snacks. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook."

Genius Foods: Become Smarter, Happier, and More Productive While Protecting Your Brain for Life

"Discover the critical link between your brain and the food you eat, change the way you think about how your brain ages, and achieve optimal brain performance with this powerful new guide from media personality and leading voice in health Max Lugavere. After his mother was diagnosed with a mysterious form of dementia, Max Lugavere put his successful media career on hold to learn everything he could about the workings of the human brain and his mother’s condition. For the better half of a decade, he consumed the most up-to-date scientific research, talked to dozens of scientists and clinicians around the world, and visited the country’s very best neurology departments. Now, in Genius Foods, Lugavere uncovers the stunning link between our dietary and lifestyle choices and our brain health, revealing how the foods you eat directly affect your ability to focus, learn, remember, create, analyze new ideas, and maintain a healthy, balanced mood. He presents ground-breaking science and distills the latest research, including: - How food is like software for our endlessly capable minds; - How select nutrients can actually boost working memory and processing speed; - How slowing down the cognitive aging process is just as much about the foods you omit from your diet as the superfoods that you consume; - And how easy it is to modulate the quality of your thoughts and mood by food. In the vein of groundbreaking bestsellers such as David Perlmutter’s Grain Brain, Tim Ferriss’ Four Hour Body, and Dave Asprey’s Bulletproof Diet, Genius Foods presents a comprehensive, practical roadmap to optimizing the brain’s health and performance today—and decades into the future.
