Drawing on pioneering data from a person's genetic legacies, appetite signals and mental resilience, this book will enable you to create a unique plan specific to your needs, and will help you achieve robust brain and body health, including: - Enhancing your cognitive abilities by limiting grains and fruits as the brain's ability to absorb glucose declines from your late 40's onwards - Optimizing your weight by identifying the simple vs. complex carbohydrates that work for your metabolic type - Overcoming insulin-related persistent fatigue and increasing your muscle's energy efficiency through resistance and aerobic exercise - Protecting yourself from disease-causing internal inflammation by opting for prebiotics found in artichokes, leeks and onions and avoiding certain "health" foods Dr. Noel Maclaren and Sunita Singh Maclaren have helped thousands of patients in their clinic for over fifteen years, by reversing these metabolic imbalances.
