Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrative Sexual Health explores beyond the standard topics in men's and women's health, drawing on a diverse research literature to provide an overview of sexual biology and sexual dysfunction, diverse lifespan, lifestyle and environmental impacts on sexual function, integrative medicine solutions to sexual problems, and traditional eastern and western treatment approaches to healing sexual difficulties. This comprehensive guide written by experts in the field provides clinical vignettes, detailed treatment strategies for mitigating the side effects of both medications and sexual dysfunction associated with medical illness and poor lifestyle habits, and extensive further reading resources. Integrative treatment modalities not typically consulted in mainstream medicine, such as traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, aromatherapy, and botanical medicine, are presented with the best evidence, in a clinically relevant manner. Part of the Weil Integrative Medicine Library, this volume is a must read for the specialist and non-specialist alike who wish to address sexual problems using an integrative medicine approach, and acquire tools to maintain lifetime optimal health and vitality that supports healthy sexuality. Integrative medicine is defined as healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person (body, mind, and spirit) as well as all aspects of lifestyle; it emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative. Series editor Andrew Weil, MD, is Professor and Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. Dr. Weil's program was the first such academic program in the U.S., and its stated goal is "to combine the best ideas and practices of conventional and alternative medicine into cost effective treatments without embracing alternative practices uncritically."

Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES and LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER “Brilliant . . . riveting, scary, cogent, and cleverly argued.”—Beth Macy, author of Dopesick, as heard on Fresh Air This book is about pleasure. It’s also about pain. Most important, it’s about how to find the delicate balance between the two, and why now more than ever finding balance is essential. We’re living in a time of unprecedented access to high-reward, high-dopamine stimuli: drugs, food, news, gambling, shopping, gaming, texting, sexting, Facebooking, Instagramming, YouTubing, tweeting . . . The increased numbers, variety, and potency is staggering. The smartphone is the modern-day hypodermic needle, delivering digital dopamine 24/7 for a wired generation. As such we’ve all become vulnerable to compulsive overconsumption. In Dopamine Nation, Dr. Anna Lembke, psychiatrist and author, explores the exciting new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain . . . and what to do about it. Condensing complex neuroscience into easy-to-understand metaphors, Lembke illustrates how finding contentment and connectedness means keeping dopamine in check. The lived experiences of her patients are the gripping fabric of her narrative. Their riveting stories of suffering and redemption give us all hope for managing our consumption and transforming our lives. In essence, Dopamine Nation shows that the secret to finding balance is combining the science of desire with the wisdom of recovery.

Book excerpt: A science-based approach for healing ailments of both body and mind through cold-water swimming. The belief that swimming in cold water can improve one's health is hardly new. For centuries, people from all over the world have reported that immersing themselves in cold water alleviates their pain and improves their overall well-being. Even Katharine Hepburn famously claimed to treat her winter colds by swimming in the icy waters of the Pacific Ocean. But until now, the practice has been treated lightly by the scientific community, the curative effects all but dismissed by doctors seeking medicine-centered solutions for their patients' illnesses. In CHILL, expert anesthetist and researcher Dr. Mark Harper delivers long-awaited evidence that cold-water swimming can, in fact, achieve powerful, tangible health benefits. Combining cutting-edge neuroscience with case studies, laboratory results, and stories from the lives of patients, Dr. Harper illuminates the ways in which cold water can impacts us physiologically and mentally, alleviating conditions like: - chronic pain - dementia - arthritis - anxiety - depression - PTSD - migraines and moreDr. Harper guides us in safely establishing our own, customized practice of cold-water swimming in order to harness the therapeutic power of water for improved circulation, a strengthened immune system, cell regeneration, and everyday vitality. Eye-opening and actionable, and full of extraordinary discoveries about our minds, our bodies, and the healing powers of Earth's most plentiful resource, CHILL is a drug-free, no-cost, revolutionary approach to lasting wellness and rejuvenation.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "PURPOSE: Cold water immersion (CWI) is a popular form of voluntary cold exposure. In an environment such as a cold-water immersion, survival becomes paramount, and the ability to engage in top-down processing and take control of our actions through Executive function (EF) becomes imperative. The difficulty associated with the imposition of EF during stress like CWI is due to an increase in circulating cortisol levels, which have been associated with considerable impairments in working memory, a component of EF. This investigation aims to examine the feasibility and the effects of CWI on brain activation in the prefrontal cortex and executive function (EF) in young, healthy adults. METHODS: In this study, thirty-four healthy young adults (19 M and 15 F;22.74±2.39 yrs) participated. All participants arrived fasted without any consumption of caffeine or alcohol or heavy exercise within the last 24 hours. Participants completed the Mental Fatigue Scale and an assessment of basic anthropometrics. The collection of O2Hb levels using near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in the prefrontal cortex, scores on EF-specific tests from the NIH-EXAMINER, and scores on a verbal categorization task (VCT) were assessed pre and post-CWI. After collecting baseline data, participants were immersed in a tank containing 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit water up to the base of the neck, with both hands out of the water, for 5-10 minutes. During immersion, a verbal cold discomfort scale was administered. fNIRS data, verbal categorization task data, and NIH-EXAMINER EF tests were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA, and post hoc t-tests were performed to examine specific differences. RESULTS: Examination of the fNIRS data indicated a significant decrease in prefrontal recruitment from a pre immersion resting state to post immersion resting state (Pre: 35.21±10.36 vs. Post: 27.81±7.83,p=0.004), as well as from pre immersion executive function testing to post immersion executive function testing (Pre: 38.69±11.60 vs. Post: 28.58±8.69, p=

Book excerpt: National Geographic's riveting narrative explores the world of placebos, hypnosis, false memories, and neurology to reveal the groundbreaking science of our suggestible minds. Could the secrets to personal health lie within our own brains? Journalist Erik Vance explores the surprising ways our expectations and beliefs influence our bodily responses to pain, disease, and everyday events. Drawing on centuries of research and interviews with leading experts in the field, Vance takes us on a fascinating adventure from Harvard's research labs to a witch doctor's office in Catemaco, Mexico, to an alternative medicine school near Beijing (often called "China's Hogwarts"). Vance's firsthand dispatches will change the way you think--and feel. Expectations, beliefs, and self-deception can actively change our bodies and minds. Vance builds a case for our "internal pharmacy"--the very real chemical reactions our brains produce when we think we are experiencing pain or healing, actual or perceived. Supporting this idea is centuries of placebo research in a range of forms, from sugar pills to shock waves; studies of alternative medicine techniques heralded and condemned in different parts of the world (think crystals and chakras); and most recently, major advances in brain mapping technology. Thanks to this technology, we're learning how we might leverage our suggestibility (or lack thereof) for personalized medicine, and Vance brings us to the front lines of such study.

Download or read book Acute Effects of Normobaric Hypoxia and Cold Water Hand Immersion on Thermoregulatory Response and Cognitive Function written by Hayden D. Gerhart and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION: Cold-induced vasodilation (CIVD) is a mechanism that protects the peripheries from cold-related injury. There is a need to elucidate mechanisms that attenuate reduced cognitive and motor performance in hypoxic environments. PURPOSE: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of cold-water hand immersion (CWI) on changes in thermoregulation, measures of CIVD, executive function, mood, and memory in normobaric hypoxia before and following submaximal exercise. METHODS: 10 apparently healthy men (23℗ł3 years) volunteered for this study. The two experimental trials (13% O2, 21% O2) were counterbalanced and blinded from the participants. Following a 60-min. acclimation the experimental trials consisted of two 15-min. exposures to 5℗ðC water of the non-dominant hand. The exposures were separated by a 30-min. bout of submaximal exercise producing the equivalent of 400 watts (W) of metabolic heat. Executive function (Stroop), total mood disturbance (TMD), memory (RMCPT), mean body temperature (MBT), oxygen saturation (SaO2), and thermal sensation (TS) of the arm were collected during the final 5 min. of each stage. CIVD was measured pre- and post-exercise during each of the cold water exposures on the nailbed of the middle finger on the non-dominant hand. RESULTS: No significant interaction or main effects of time or condition were reported for any score of executive function (F = 3.12, p = 0.069) or mood (F = 0.773, p = 0.477). A significant time by condition interaction exists for throughput score (F = 3.19, p = 0.039), a measure of RMCPT. The score during CWI in the 13% O2 condition was significant lower compared to the 21% O2 condition (p = 0.05), as well as when compared to acclimation of the 13% O2 condition (p = 0.02). However, the worsening TMD trend led to positive associations between skin temperature during CWI and TMD scores at baseline (r = 0.753, p = 0.012), acclimation (r = 0.653, p = 0.041), and CWI (r = 0.657, p = 0.039) in the 13% O2 condition. A main effect of time is observed for MBT (F = 42.477, p

Download or read book Human Thermal Environments written by Ken Parsons and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2007-03-22 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our responses to our thermal environment have a considerable effect on our performance and behavior, not least in the realm of work. There has been considerable scientific investigation of these responses and formal methods have been developed for environmental evaluation and design. In recent years these have been developed to the extent that detailed national and international standards of practice have now become feasible. This new edition of Ken Parson's definitive text brings us back up to date. He covers hot, moderate and cold environments, and defines these in terms of six basic parameters: air temperature, radiate temperature, humidity, air velocity, clothing worn, and the person's activity. There is a focus on the principles and practice of human response, which incorporates psychology, physiology and environmental physics with applied ergonomics. Water requirements, computer modeling and computer-aided design are brought in, as are current standards. Special populations, such as the aged or disabled and specialist environments such as those found in vehicles are also considered. This book continues to be the standard text for the design of environments for humans to live and work safely, comfortably and effectively, and for the design of materials which help the same people cope with their environments.
