Imagine controlling―avoiding―reversing!―the “health hazard of the 21st century” (World Health Organization), the disease that afflicts nearly 26 million Americans and is an imminent threat to an additional 80 million adults and children. That’s exactly the promise of The Diabetes Reset by Dr. George King, research director and chief science officer at Harvard’s Joslin Diabetes Center, the world’s largest and most respected diabetes research center, synonymous with revolutionizing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diabetes. Based on the most cutting-edge research―including the groundbreaking discovery of brown fat in adults and its role in burning calories and enhancing the effects of the body’s own insulin―The Diabetes Reset translates the latest findings into a plan that will let readers avoid, control, and even reverse type 2 diabetes. The program begins with losing weight―and shows why losing only 5% of body weight makes a life-changing difference. It explains how a good’s night sleep can significantly lower blood glucose levels (and why sleep deprivation works in reverse). It disentangles the carbohydrate confusion, reveals how to decrease the body’s inflammatory response, and explains the importance of moderate exercise. There are eight strategies in all―if you implement only one, your type 2 diabetes will improve. Pursue all eight of them, and you can stop type 2 diabetes in its tracks. You can even reverse it―effectively resetting your body’s glucose metabolism for a long, healthy life.

A groundbreaking program to avoid, control, and even reverse diabetes through diet and exercise. The research of Dr. George King, chief scientific officer of Harvard Medical School’s Joslin Diabetes Center, is widely recognized in the medical community as the gold standard. In Reverse Your Diabetes in 12 Weeks (previously published in hardcover as The Diabetes Reset), Dr. King transforms the center’s cutting-edge research—including the discovery of brown fat and how it enhances the effects of the body’s own insulin—into a program of eight proven strategies. Foremost is diet—but the real surprise is that the diet that actually works, a modified “rural Asian diet,” derives 70% of its calories from carbohydrates. Dr. King disentangles the myths and confusion surrounding carbohydrates, fats, protein, and fiber, and shows why not all carbs are bad and why sugar is not the root of all evil. Losing weight is also key, but in a very doable way—significant changes happen with a 5 to 7% reduction of body weight. He emphasizes the importance of exercise—it increases the muscles’ glucose-absorbing ability—and gives an easy-to-follow program of aerobic and strength exercises. And he shows why diabetics especially need those seven hours of sleep a night—chronic lack of sleep causes insulin resistance. A twelve-week plan shows how to put all of it into action—to take charge of blood glucose levels and significantly improve your health.

“Set the music free!” Welcome to Soundscape—where the Red States rule… pot is legal, but owning a Beatles album can get you arrested… and 20-foot walls surround the last remnants of liberal America. It’s the final days of summer in the year 2024: For eight years, ever since a nuclear terror scare swept Republican President Tom Ballinger into office over Hillary Clinton, the GOP’s conservative wing has controlled the nation. Now, with a Presidential election two months away and sitting Vice President William Acton well ahead in the polls, they’re poised to tighten their grip. Democratic presidential candidate Maxwell Fish is committed to rolling back America's growing inequality and reversing the nation’s conservative tide—but as he sits trapped in his Manhattan apartment, under house arrest by the ruling Republican authorities, his chances of defeating Acton and winning the White House are slipping away. The liberal Municipal Alliance has a plan that could turn the election around, but its success depends on the breakthrough invention of Blake Hawkes, a 26-year-old physicist and music aficionado. The problem: Hawkes is on the run from the U.S. government—hunted by Homeland Security and the Culture Hygiene police, who want to arrest him for possession of illegal rock music recordings. Hawkes has disappeared into the Urban Zone, an alternate inner-city universe that is the last refuge for the nation’s few remaining rock musicians and what’s left of the progressive movement. After he joins forces with the UZ’s renegade world of sex, drugs and rock and roll, Hawkes finds himself in a race against time, with America’s political future hanging in the balance. Soundscape is infused by classic rock and roll, quantum mechanics and a political showdown between the nation’s Red States and Blue Cities. It includes original song lyrics by the author, and a climax that no reader will soon forget! Soundscape—where hearing is believing.
