Memory loss is quickly becoming a major issue. Although the common belief is that these irritating lapses in the ability to remember are a normal part of ageing, current scientific research indicates otherwise. In fact, there are a number of reasons these lapses can occur. The good news is that once we understand why, we can actually restore and even strengthen our mental acuity. In her new book, WHAT YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT MEMORY LOSS & HOW YOU CAN STOP IT, Dr. Pamela Wartian Smith explains why we forget things and what we can do not only to reverse the problem, but, also, enhance our ability to focus, concentrate and comprehend. Dr. Smith begins by discussing why it is important not to simply accept memory loss as a normal part of ageing. She then presents an in-depth look at the most common causes of these lapses in memory - nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, toxic overload, poor blood circulation and lack of physical and mental exercise. She begins each section with a questionnaire to determine if the test taker's memory may be affected by that particular cause. The author then details how that cause is involved in impaired memory, as well as a host of other mental issues ranging from insomnia to personality changes. Dr. Smith follows each discussion with a list of proven remedies to correct each issue. Also, included in the book is a special section on recognising and dealing with severe memory loss. While the pharmaceutical companies continue to look for that one “magic bullet” to reverse memory loss, the fact is that there are numerous scientifically valid treatments available to address this growing concern. Dr. Smith empowers her readers to avoid an unnecessary part of ageing by offering simple and effective solutions.

The word immunity has unfortunately become an all-too-common term in our vocabulary, and for good reason. When the pandemic hit, many of the major drug companies jumped at the opportunity to create a vaccine that could offer us “immunity” against this specific virus. Yet, few of us understand that almost all these vaccines work based upon their activating our own built-in systems of defence. It is our very own immunity to these viruses that can make the difference between illness and health. To help clarify what each of us can do to protect ourselves and our loved ones, Pamela Wartian Smith, MD has written MAX YOUR IMMUNITY. Here is a complete guide to understanding and maximizing your natural defences against various infectious diseases. MAX YOUR IMMUNITY is divided into three parts. Part One explains how our innate and adaptive immunity systems work. Our innate immunity system is based on our built-in barriers designed to fight or separate us from infectious agents. Our adaptive immunity, also called acquired immunity, is composed of lymphocyte cells that are triggered when a specific pathogen enters the body. These cells learn to identify the invading pathogens and hunt them down. In this section, each component in both systems are clearly identified and explained. Part Two provides ten important things that you can do to increase and strengthen all of these components. And Part Three provides specific nutritional plans to increase your body's immunity to help defend off the most common health disorders. The fact is, few of us make it a point to keep our immune system in top shape. However when our immune system is weakened, we greatly increase the odds of our getting sick. By simply having a clear understanding of how our internal defences work and what we can do to increase our immunity, we can play an important role in maintaining good health. MAX YOUR IMMUNITY can help show you what you need to know to protect yourself and your family.

To a great degree, we are who we are because of the hormones produced in our body. From our sexuality to our physical and mental development to the state of our health—we are all dependent on our hormones working properly. When there is an overproduction or under-production of any of our hormones, we can experience a host of serious health disorders. The problem is few of us ever connect these issues with our hormones. And while men may be familiar with testosterone, there are others that are just as important. To address this lack of information, bestselling author Dr. Pamela Wartian Smith has written MAXIMIZE YOUR MALE HORMONES, a clear guide for men to understand, identify, and treat the many common sources of these ailments including: Fatigue; Depression; Sexual Dysfunction; Headaches; Anger; Cancer; Nervousness; Weight loss/gain; Heart disease; Male menopause; Stress; Mood swings; Diabetes; Sleep apnea; And so much more.

By first recognizing this problem and identifying the hormone most normally associated with it, you will learn there is a great deal that you can do to fix the problem. In her book, Dr. Smith not only provides the medical treatments available—she also includes the natural supplements that have proven to be helpful, as well as the lifestyle changes that can help bring a hormone back in balance. If any of these problems sound familiar, maybe it's time to do something about them. Don't let your hormones ruin your life. With MAXIMIZE YOUR MALE HORMONES in hand, you will learn that there is a good deal that you can do to help control or even eliminate many of these disorders.

Hormonal imbalances can occur at any age - before, during, or after menopause. The reasons for these imbalances vary widely, and can include heredity, environment, nutrition, and aging. While most hormone-related problems are associated with menopause, the fact is that fluctuating hormonal levels can also cause a variety of other conditions; and for some women, the effects can be truly debilitating. In this new and expanded edition of WHAT YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT WOMEN'S HORMONES, bestselling author Dr. Pamela Wartian Smith has provided a clear and concise guide to the treatments of hormonal irregularities without the health risks associated with standard hormone replacement therapy. This book is divided into three parts. Part I describes the body's own hormones, looking at their functions and the different side effects that can occur if these hormones are not at optimal levels. Part II focuses on the most common problems that arise from hormonal imbalances, such as PMS, hot flashes, postpartum depression, and endometriosis. You will learn that even disorders that seemingly have nothing to do with hormones, such as heart disease and osteoporosis, can be affected by a hormonal imbalance. Lastly, Part III details hormone replacement therapy, focusing on the difference between natural and synthetic hormone treatments. It explains how you can have your hormonal levels measured, and provides examples of the various hormone replacement therapies available. In addition, there is now a helpful table on the various ways to treat insulin resistance, a key factor in creating hormone imbalance. Whether you are looking for help with menopausal symptoms or you simply want to enjoy vibrant health and well-being, this new edition of WHAT YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT WOMEN'S HORMONES can make a profound difference in the quality of your life.
