Product Description
Broken brains go by many names -- depression, anxiety, memory loss, brain fog, attention deficit disorder, autism, and dementia, to name a few -- and show up in radically different ways from person to person, making each seem like a separate problem.But the truth is that these "diagnoses" are all the result of a few basic problems with our biology. Pinpoint these biological problems, fix them, and let your body's natural healing intelligence take over to repair your brain. Now you can experience an UltraMind -- one that is highly focused and able to pay attention at will, with a strong, reliable memory and a mood that is calm, confident, in control, and in good spirits.We have all heard of the mind-body connection or how our thoughts affect the health of our body. But the reverse is far more powerful: what you do to your body, your basic biology, has a profound effect on your brain.Have you ever experienced instant clarity after exercise? Alertness after drinking coffee? A mental crash after popping candy? Does your brain inexplicably slow down during stress, while multitasking, or when meeting a deadline? Each is an example of how what we do to our bodies -- whether through nutrition, sleep, exercise, or stress -- has a dramatic effect on our brains.Conventional treatments don't help, or provide only slight benefit, because they just manage symptomsrather than deal with -- and heal -- the underlying problem. And just as brain problems all stem from the same root causes, they all have the same solution -- The UltraMind Solution.Our ancient genes interact with our environment to create systemic imbalances that affect our brains. Correct those imbalances -- most caused by nutritional deficiencies, allergens, infections, toxins, and stress -- and you can achieve optimum mental health without drugs or psychotherapy.The UltraMind Solution is the future of medicine, the culmination of the last twenty years of research on what makes the brain happy, focused, and calm;

 Fix Your Brain/Fix Your Body/Fix Life July 25, 2010
WILLIAM MCLEAN (Medford, OR USA)
Actually, the subjects covered in this book start to move from pure science to become pseudoscience. Many of the recommendations suggested in "The UltraMind Solution" (and by many other like minded authors) have not been sufficiently tested to be well established as scientific facts: "THIS HAS DEFINITELY BEEN PROVEN" has been brushed aside, in favor of the more honest: "THIS SEEMS TO BE THE CASE."
But neither doctors nor scientists know everything - and they know they don't know everything. That's why research continues to be important. When doctors make out like everything they say is scientifically proven fact, they are not being honest. While great strides have been made in medical science, it is also true that selfish short term profit motives are leading the world down the wrong path. Health problems are starting to increase as treatments are made to target symptoms rather than causes. Dr. Hyman has been very aggressive in criticizing mainstream medical practice. And he explains his position very well. One example: "Depression is not caused by a Prozac deficiency."
Of course we still need doctors. We still need the Pope (maybe). It is just that people must be made to understand that it is not what doctors do that is most important to achieve good mental and physical health, it is primarily what they the people do. Ditto for the Pope (spiritually.) Some things you simply cannot buy.
I believe that if everyone would sincerely try to follow Dr. Hyman recommendations human life expectancy would improve by leaps and bounds. Mental health would become much less of a problem. And other benefits, not even mentioned in the book, would naturally follow. Just imagine all the improvements to the quality of life if people had healthier brains and made better choices. Healthier brains mean more than just healthier bodies.
Dr. Hyman says his method is simple; but following every detail as he suggests is actually very time consuming, impractical, and even impossible for most people. He makes this more obvious by getting readers to sign-on to his website (and perhaps pay more money) to get his special help.
I do recommend this book. At age 71.9, I already do most of the healthy diet thing, and I do a lot more exercise than Dr. Hyman suggests is necessary. So far, I'm in excellent health. Yes, I will gratefully make more improvements based on this book, but I wish to HAVE a life - not just extend it.

Integrating the Mind and Body July 15, 2010
Joseph S. Maresca (Bronxville, New York USA)
The author explains the connections between the
body and the brain including the effects of fear
and anxiety on health. Certain vitamins like B6
and B12 help to balance blood sugar. Glutathione
recycles antioxidants. Vitamins B6 and B12 also
provide a brain tune-up of sorts. Low levels of
zinc are associated with low levels of immunity.
In some patients, gluten triggers an ugly
autoimmune response. Low Vitamin A and Omega 3
may cause the classic bumps on the back of the
arm due to hyperkeratosis polaris.
The book explains 7 steps to a better you. These are:
o optimize nutrition
o balance hormones
o reduce inflammation
o fix digestion
o detoxify
o boost the metabolism
o reduce stress
The author advises us to protect our head all the
time (avoid head injuries). In addition, quality
sleep is critical to overall health. Classic toxins
are explained ; such as, alcohol, tobacco, caffeine,
sugar and gluten (for some who are intolerant) .
Insulin is said to damage the brain.
The C-reactive protein is a measure of inflammation.
Reduced amounts of Vitamins C, D, Zinc, Omega 3
fatty acids and increased stress can have a
harmful effect on our health. Overall, the presentation
is excellent for health buffs everywhere.
Best Book Ever July 12, 2010
Loretta Eberle (Denver, CO)
This book has changed my life!! I've never read a book about health before that was so easy to read and understand. Dr Hyman is amazing and if you have any health issues at all, you need to read this book. Even if you don't have issues, this book will help you live long and be healthy!!!
Transformation IS Possible NOW ! July 4, 2010
Linda
Although I was somewhat familiar with all of the concepts, my interest was peaked after a lecture given by my own doctor. After years of nagging discomfort, exhaustion and severe allergies, the connection was clear for me. Extensive testing with my doctor clearly defined issues with Celiacs,
food allergies, and imbalances with my hormones, vitamins and minerals.
The UltraMind Solution is a perfect compliment to the program that my doctor has me on - and now, 32 lbs. lighter, I am feeling fantastic and cannot perceive of ever going back to my old habits.
The UltraMind Solution is a great way to address issues and transform your life !
