Anne Maher  Eating to beat type 2 Diabetes
by Sarah Flower Of course this book is timely with Dr. Unwin visiting in October however it is just one of many offerings out there to help with developing a food strategy for healing. Sarah offers many easy recipes that make low carb a straightforward lifestyle choice. No pictures though but a good start! Anne Maher  Rising interest in traditional and herbal remedies is something we have noted with our membership.
We often have those conversations swapping stories of remedies that we know or have heard of and are accessible to us. It is truly amazing to learn more about the healing properties of food and plants that are locally available. This is why this book appealed as a parent. A simple go to that is worth having in book form. Knowledge will never be a burden and you may never know when it will be useful! Anne Maher  Genius Foods
by Max Lugavere I’m late to the party on this author but this month I am bringing you one of the Genius Living trilogy written by Max Lugavere. The theme though is familiar. Food affects our health both positively and negatively. In terms of our brain health we are sadly more than aware of the negative consequences of our brains not working optimally. In truth it is not easy to nourish a brain in a toxic environment within which we have little control. However, I certainly believe that the more you become familiar with the knowledge and have access to the resources to help, you will have more than a fighting chance of a positive outcome. I like books where dedicated passionate people do the research without being funded to bring a predetermined answer. This book has plenty of information to keep our brains exercised! 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:
Anne Maher  Bagel Goggles
by Emma Goodwin I cannot tell you how excited I was to see Emma’s new book. A friend of The Urban Co-op for some time we have been following her mission with rapt attention. Here is a summary of the description of same on Amazon. We are awaiting our order and will be devouring the bagel goggles with extra butter as soon as we can!! Tourette's, according to modern medicine, is for life. Same for Autism and ADHD. Yet, after a year of compulsive shouting, we solved my daughter's vocal tics. How many more diseases are "life-time" afflictions that will need a life time of drugs or constant care? GAPS coach Emma Goodwin shares her treasure chest of home remedy and food as medicine gems. In a world where Big Pharma, Industrial food systems 'education' and 'entertainment' come at us from all angles, Emma takes off the Bagel Goggles and destroys these institutions, in her mind's eye, with home made truth bombs. Part biography, part recipe book, part self-help paradigm-shifting spell-book, this joyful read shows how to survive and thrive in these troubled times. "Emma Goodwin writes with a passion of a person who has first-hand experience in healing her body. She has worked with the diet, detoxification, enemas and removal of parasites. She speaks from the heart in an engaging manner and with a good sense of humour. This book is going to be very helpful to many people. Thank you, Emma!" Dr Natasha Campbell McBride Her mission is to help people with chronic ailments recover their strength and vitality.

by Carolyn Steel This has been on my to read list for a while. We have recommended Sitopia previously which is her most recent book. We are fans of Carolyn Steel no doubt and her work is a great overview for us on how we need to see how food shapes our world. Hungry City is published over a decade ago but so relevant and even more so now. How do you feed a city? So many of our population now live in cities and are being actively encouraged to make the move from rural to urban. 15 minute cities are touted as a selling point for quality of life. But how do you feed a huge number of people this way? Trains and corporations have changed everything along the way. But so too is the disconnect from our food supply… and all the problems that brings. Reframing how we view and value food is the journey we need to make and this book is just the ticket to get there. Anne Maher  Caffeine how coffee and tea created the modern world
by Michael Pollan I love a recommendation from customers and this one is an audio version. I guess, it’s not difficult to see why it caught my attention. Our lives are fairly dictated by coffee and tea. It makes a change for me to get off the subject of sugar! This audio book has given me pause for thought though. How a plant can change the world etc. It really is quite amazing to consider this from a wider perspective. Addictive performance enhancing legal drugs of choice eh? If we extrapolate from coffee and tea it makes me wonder about the natural plants around us that have the potential to help us do great things for humanity. I’ll ponder as I pour myself another cuppa. https://michaelpollan.com/books/caffeine-how-coffee-and-tea-created-the-modern-world/ Anne Maher |
