How the overturning of Roe has imperiled high-risk pregnanciesand how to ensure safe patient healthcare in the future.From a leading doctor on the front lines after the Dobbs decision.Doctors and patients confronting high-risk pregnancies have always faced profound and life-altering decisions. But after the 2022 Dobbs decision overturning Roe, many of these decisions seem impossible. As a firsthand witness to this convulsion, David Hackney, a leading physician in maternal fetal medicine, offers knowledgeable, thoughtful guidance to patients and practitioners contending with high-risk pregnancies in our new reality.Impossible Choices focuses on the practical implications of high-risk complications for people who are pregnant or considering pregnancyincluding conditions such as pre-eclampsia, premature membrane rupture, or birth defectsespecially in states now under abortion bans. And because maternal fetal medicine overlaps with other medical fields as pregnant patients struggle with, for instance, kidney disease, lupus, diabetes, and cancer, the book also addresses a wide array of medical questions and complications.How do we make decisions when thrown into extreme and uncertain circumstances? The author answers this question and more by painting a nuanced and clear-eyed picture of obstetrics after Dobbs, illustrating his reflections with stories from his own practice, as well as those of his wife, in pediatric oncology. Without being partisan or polemical, the book offers the informed compassion and way forward that this fraught moment in maternal medicine calls for.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. David Perlmutter comes a groundbreaking guide to the brains immune cellsessential to preventing disease and sustaining peak cognitive function and mental healthWeve been fighting the wrong enemy. For decades, medicine has pointed its weapons at symptoms like memory loss, tremors, headaches, and lethargy, while ignoring the root causes of diseases like Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and major depression. In Brain Defenders, neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter flips the script, exposing the real culprits: malfunctioning microglia, tiny immune cells that, when metabolically hijacked, go rogue and attack the very neurons theyre meant to protect.With clarity and urgency, Dr. Perlmutter explains how a silent battle rages in the brain. Microglia can become either warriors of protection or agents of destructionand the outcome depends largely on how we live. In Brain Defenders, you will: Learn the science of immunometabolism and the relationship between energy and your cells Understand the overlooked role of inflammation in everything from dementia to long COVIDand why the immune system may be the brains greatest threat and hope Discover how your lifestyle affects the fate of your microglia and, in turn, your cognitive future Uncover the surprising link between metabolic health and brain resilience, and how tools like fasting, sleep, and even oxygen therapy can restore damaged neural networks Explore therapeutic interventionsfrom metformin to lions mane mushroomthat support healing and slow neural decline Neurodegeneration, cognitive impairment, and mood disorders are not inevitable, but often the result of chronic, controllable inflammation. Drawing on the latest peer-reviewed science and grounded in decades of neurological care, Dr. Perlmutter delivers a powerful message: the future of your brain health is in your hands.

A human physiology expert lays out the basic facts to explain why the idea of biological sex as a binary is simply wrongBiological sex is as nuanced as gender. Many of us are biologically more typically masculine in some ways and more typically feminine in others. The constellation of traits that make up our sex identity are wide-ranging and often overlap. Height, strength, body hair, genitalia, hormonal balancesthese are all part of the picture. How should we think about this kind of variation?The Binary Delusion explores the actual diversity of our biological sex characteristics, from genitals to brains. Some people may have typically female genitals and a Y chromosome and testes, rather than ovaries. This anatomy is intermediate, not completely male and not completely female, and it occurs in nature all the time. Depending on how you choose to count, up to 6% of the populationabout 20 million people in the US or 500 million worldwidelikely have sex traits that arent exactly male or exactly female.As a biologist, Dr. Berkowitz worries that more people arent aware of this fundamental fact of human life. Nearly all of us manipulate our bodies in one way or another to make them appear more typically masculine or feminine. The only way to make sense of these apparent contradictions is that our society insistsregardless of our biologythat each body look a specific way from infancy until death. Its a disturbingly limited view of self-expression, and Dr. Berkowitz argues that its worse than that: its unscientific.

If youve ever left a doctors appointment with a prescription but no plan, a stack of normal lab results but no answers, or the feeling that no one actually listened, youre not alone.In Beyond the Prescription, Dr. Lucy McBride explains why: Modern health care prioritizes transactions over relationships, screens over stories, and data over context. Into that void has stepped a massive wellness industry offering seductive promises of controloptimize, detox, biohackoften without evidence and with real risks.McBride refuses the false choice between conventional medicine and wellness culture. Instead, she offers a practical middle path built on health agency: the capacity to make informed decisions aligned with your values while advocating effectively for support. This book isnt prescriptive or perfectionist. Its a framework to help you navigate uncertainty, misinformation, and the realities of your life.At the center is a five-step process that moves you from redefining health on your own terms, through mapping your full health ecosystem and understanding how you personally approach care, to asking for help more effectively and making peace with what you cannot control.McBride then maps health as an interconnected ecosystem with four pillars:-INFORMATICS (health data + your biography and lived context)-INPUTS (everything you consume, including supplements and medications)-INFRASTRUCTURE (movement, injury, disability, and the body that carries you)-INSIGHT (mental health, brain health, and the unconscious stories that drive behavior)Reflection and action guides help you translate insight into real-world decisions.The result is a practical, evidence-based guide for anyone navigating the question too rarely asked in health care: Are you okay?

An urgent and profound history of vaccine skepticism, seeking to understand how our three most common fears about vaccines hardened into a lethal ideologyfrom a leading science writerBrimming with righteous anger, this book should infuriate you for all the right reasons, and arm you to take on the grifters and their war against science.Adam Rutherford, author of A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived: The Human Story Retold Through Our GenesSince the advent of smallpox inoculation in the eighteenth century, the idea that a disease introduced to the body in some lesser, weakened form might prevent full-blown infection has been one of the greatest public health insights of the modern era, inspiring the invention of numerous vaccines and saving countless human lives. But, just as humanity acquired the god-like power to stop infectious disease in its tracks, some feared we had gone too far, leading to the skepticism that has hijacked public health discourse today.In three sweeping essays written for our current moment of scientific mistrust, Thomas Levenson searches for the origins of the most common arguments against vaccines: that they are unnatural; that they are more dangerous than the illnesses they claim to prevent; and that they are an affront to freedom. Each arose from the earliest development of particular vaccines and the campaigns to distribute them. Even as the pattern repeats, Levenson reveals how innocent that skepticism initially was and, in each case, how very human fears and questions ultimately turned into something darker, where no truth would be enough to overcome the doubt.Searing but ultimately empathetic, A Pox on Fools explores the human impulse to question and wondersometimes past the point at which the very act of questioning turns deadly.

Intrigued by what he saw, he delved deep into the emerging neuroscience of brain reorganisation, and discovered that over time brain tissue creates new networks and regenerates.Developments in neurology continue to reveal new capabilities that allow functions we thought to be lost to be restored.
