The whole foods in Jay's Definition Diet will help you nourish your hormones, body, cardiovascular system, muscles, and brain -- so you reduce body fat, have fewer mood swings, speed up your metabolism, and remain youthful and strong at any age. 
Everyone knows that we should drink a lot of water, but did you know that it's an antiaging must? By following a personal hydration schedule, you'll reduce hunger between meals, have more energy, increase your muscles' ability to burn fat, and improve your body's removal of toxins. 
The trendy attitude toward "a glass of wine a day" for good health may actually be hurting your body's ability to burn fat. Jay helps you understand the facts surrounding the "French paradox." And she shows how antiaging sleep can boost your immune function and even help you drop unwanted pounds. 
With the discrepancies in popular opinion about hormone replacement therapy, how do you decide what's right for you? Jay presents the studies that show that artificial hormones increase your risk of breast or uterine cancer and may further increase your risk of heart disease. Learn how to balance your hormones naturally to prevent the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. 
Finally, no life change is complete without the antiaging benefits of stress reduction. Learn how to use yoga and meditation to protect your body from the ravages of stress -- today and every day. 
It's never too late to make a life change. With her eight important Total Life Changes, delicious recipes, spa secrets, and inspiring stories of people who have made dramatic changes in their lives, Jay Williams helps you start now -- for a lean and healthy body for the rest of your life.

For the 70 million Americans who suffer from one or more breathing problems, the first complete guide to their causes and their treatment. Allergies, asthma, sinusitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)―these and other misery-causing and often life-threatening respiratory disorders plague tens of millions of Americans. The good news in Breathe Right Now is that modern medicine has developed a wide range of effective treatments for the sneezing, sniffling, shortness of breath, wheezing, sleep disorders, and other problems that have caused so many people to put their lives on hold. Written by a trained clinician and an experienced medical writer, it is the first comprehensive reference and medical self-help book that does not endorse any single prescribed regimen or cure. Rather, it offers authoritative and accessible information on the many types of breathing disorders and provides a myriad of medical and nondrug options for managing them. With up-to-date information on the latest research and medical breakthroughs, numerous charts and checklists on drugs, symptoms and risk factors, full coverage of mind/body and other alternative therapies, and special sections on the particular needs of children and the elderly, this is a book that will be helping readers breathe easier for years to come.

Quit losing sleep with this clear and concise guide to eliminating snoring for good. If you snore, you've probably had to suffer through years of bad sleep and elbows in the ribs. If you share a bed with a snorer, you've endured endless nights of tossing and turning with your head stuffed under a pillow. But you can put an end to snoring. This authoritative, accessible book will provide much-needed relief to snorers --and their captive audiences --everywhere. Contrary to popular belief, snoring represents more than mere noise. Incorporating the latest developments in sleep disorder research, the authors explain what causes snoring and what its various implications are, including its role as an indicator of more serious problems such as obstructive sleep apnea (a condition that can lead to strokes, impotence, hypertension, and heart disease). Step by step, the reader will learn how to get an accurate diagnosis and then cure snoring once and for all, whether through weight loss, positional therapy, medications, special equipment, or outpatient surgery. Throw out your earplugs and give those ribs a rest. After following The Snoring Cure's straightforward advice, you'll finally be sleeping comfortably through the night.

Relying on the latest sleep research, the authors reveal why people snore and explain how to prevent it using a simple but effective four-step approach that can solve the problem. Original.
