And if our energy demand exceeds our energy supply we eventually have to stop\. In her NHS and then independent medical practice, Dr Myhill has increasingly specialised in helping patients with pathologically low levels of energy\. Through this she has learned of the centrality of having sufficient energy to live well and stay healthy and of balancing energy generation with energy use\. In this, her simplest and most readable account of the fundamentals of good health, supported by editor and former patient Craig Robinson, Dr Myhill provides all we need to ensure the energy equation is resolving in our favour\. \\Download The Energy Equation Complete Tables Here\\ - [The PK Cookbook](https://hammersmithbooks.co.uk/product/pk-cookbook/): Dr Sarah Myhill has been helping sufferers from debilitating chronic conditions for over 30 years with an approach that combines all the benefits of current scientific knowledge and medical testing and treatments with an expanding appreciation of the importance of nutrition and lifestyle\. Her book with Craig Robinson, \\Prevent and Cure Diabetes\\, saw her arrive at the conclusion that the diet we should ALL be eating is one that combines Paleo principles \(eating pre\-agricultural, seasonal foods\) with Ketogenic ones \(fuel the body with fats and fibre, not with carbs or protein\)\. That book tells us WHY; now in this down\-to\-earth, highly practical cookbook, Sarah and Craig tell us HOW\. - [Prevent and Cure Diabetes: Delicious Diets, Not Dangerous Drugs](https://hammersmithbooks.co.uk/product/prevent-cure-diabetes/): We are probably all aware that countries with the Western lifestyle and the standard Western diet are facing an epidemic of type 2 diabetes\. Already in 2010, more than one million people in the UK were thought to have undiagnosed type 2 diabetes, double the previous estimate, and as long ago as 2008 between 20% and 30% of the adult population could be characterised as having the ‘metabolic syndrome’ – the forerunner to diabetes\. The tragedy is that most people with these conditions regard them as inevitable evils and agree to take the medicine – or inject the insulin – when the time comes\. BUT it need not be that way\. As Dr Myhill writes: ‘All medical therapies should start with diet\. Modern Western diets are driving our modern epidemics of diabetes, heart disease, cancer and dementia; this process is called metabolic syndrome\. In this book I explain in detail why and how we have arrived at a situation where the real weapons of mass destruction can be found in our kitchens\. Importantly, the book describes the vital steps every one of us can make to reverse the situation so that life can be lived to its full potential\.’ Based on Dr Myhill’s more than 30 years’ experience of helping her patients return to health, find out: What metabolic syndrome is, why Westerners are all on the way to getting it, and how to avoid it; What the risk factors are for developing diabetes and how to minimise these; How to reverse diabetes type 2; How to control blood sugar with minimal use of insulin in diabetes type 1; How to balance your blood sugar levels and monitor your progress\. - [The Scoliosis Handbook](https://hammersmithbooks.co.uk/product/the-scoliosis-handbook/): Scoliosis – curvature of the spine in an S shaped form that twists and curves to one side – can affect a person at any age but tends to be diagnosed in rapidly growing teenagers\.  According to published sources, 4 in every 1000 children in UK and Ireland need treatment for scoliosis; many more have the condition and do not need or seek treatment but can be helped by exercise to strengthen the muscles and in turn reduce pain\.  However, understanding of what exercise is safe and effective with a curved and/or fused spine after surgery is very limited\.  Specialist exercise trainer and expert scoliosis patient Caroline Freedman provides a practical, illustrated guide for those who are able to use exercise to alleviate the pain of their scoliosis curves, and for those who need a more radical solution – surgery \- and must modify how they exercise pre and post operatively\.  Patients, their families and movement professionals will find practical, safe, tailored guidance based on specific, long\-term experience\. -
