Book Review: The Ultra-Mind Solution by Mark Hyman, M.D.

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 symptoms rather 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, heavy metals, toxins, and stress -- and you can achieve optimum mental health without drugs or psychotherapy. Don't wait for this revolution in medicine to trickle into your doctor's office; it usually takes research twenty years to move from the lab to the patient. The answers are here, right now, in The UltraMind Solution.

Amen, M.D., author of Change Your Brain, Change Your Life "For the past thirty years, I've studied how comprehensive lifestyle change can prevent and reverse many chronic illnesses.

Highly recommended." -- Dean Ornish, MD, clinical professor of medicine, University of California "If you suffer from anxiety, depression, memory loss, or attention problems, the help you need is right here.
