THE ULTRAMIND SOLUTION

FIX YOUR BROKEN BRAIN BY HEALING YOUR BODY FIRST (JANUARY 2009)

by Dr. Mark Hyman

What if lifelong depression could be cured, children could recover completely from autism, and dementia could be reversed—without drugs? What if we could heal or dramatically improve most of the maladies caused by our broken brains—from the severe, like bipolar disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and psychosis, to the everyday, like brain fog, memory loss, anxiety, chronic stress, and mood swings?

Now, in The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Scribner; January 2009; $27.50), Mark Hyman, M.D., author of the New York Times bestsellers UltraMetabolism, UltraPrevention and The UltraSimple Diet, shares a revolutionary new method for treating this invisible epidemic of “broken brains” that affects 1.1 billion people worldwide.

In a radical departure from the classic therapies, Dr. Hyman shows us how, based on the emerging field of functional medicine, the cure for brain disorders is outside the brain, in other parts of our bodies—a concept that modern medicine has mostly ignored. The conclusion from the science is irrefutable: by healing our bodies, we will heal our brains.

 In The UltraMind Solution, Dr. Hyman reveals that by treating the imbalances in our key underlying biological systems, we allow our body’s natural healing intelligence to take over and automatically heal our brains, leading to an UltraMind—one that’s alert, sharp, focused, happy, energetic and relaxed.

 

Dr. Hyman’s new “brain care” in The UltraMind Solution includes:

* How to optimize the 7 biological systems that influence your feelings, thoughts, behavior, and memory;
* How heavy metal-containing medications can be poisonous to your brain and body;
* Why gluten—in wheat, barley, rye, oats and more—can trigger inflammation of the brain, and create a chain reaction that overexcites, injures, and ultimately kills brain cells;
* Why all our brains are under assault and the 7 keys to brain health;
* “Miraculous” profiles of men, women, and children helped by Dr. Hyman to find relief from bipolar disease, autism, crippling depression, dementia, and other “broken brain” ailments;
* Simple self-tests to discover where your brain is vulnerable and lifestyle changes to reduce inflammation and toxicity, improve nutrition, balance hormones, and conquer brain “allergies”;
* A 6-week basic brain-boosting program to cleanse, heal, and strengthen the brain.
