    This Is Going to Hurt was the publishing phenomenon of the century, read by many millions, loved by at least fifty of them, and adapted into a major TV series. But it was only part of the story.

    By turns hilarious, heartbreaking and humbling, Undoctored is about what happens when a doctor hangs up his scrubs, but medicine refuses to let go of him.

    It’s about an extraordinary medical school education.

    It’s about opening old wounds and examining the present-day scars.

    It’s about hospital admissions and personal ones.

    It’s about blowing up your life and stitching it back together.

    It’s about being a doctor and being a patient.

    It’s about 300 pages long.

    Undoctored is Adam Kay’s funniest and most moving book yet—an astonishing portrait of a life in and out of medicine, from one of Britain’s finest storytellers.

    This unabridged audio download, narrated by the author, features extra diary entries recorded in audio for the first time, and an audiobook exclusive interview with bestselling author and broadcaster The Reverend Richard Coles.

    Fix your metabolism to feel better today and prevent disease tomorrow. A bold new vision for optimizing our health now and for the future.

    What if depression, anxiety, infertility, insomnia, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, dementia, cancer and many other health conditions actually have the same root cause?

    Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions – and feel incredible today – is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function – the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr Casey Means explains in this groundbreaking book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create ‘good energy’, the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our physical and mental wellbeing.

    If you are battling signals of ‘bad energy’ inside your body, it is often a warning sign that more life-threatening illness may emerge later in life. Weaving together cutting-edge research and personal stories, Good Energy offers an essential four-week plan and explains:

    The five biomarkers that determine your risk for a deadly diseaseSix lifelong food principles to implement whether you’re carnivore or veganThe crucial links between sleep, circadian rhythm, and metabolismA framework for exercise focused on building simple movement into every dayHow cold and heat exposure helps build our body’s resilienceSteps to navigate the medical system to get what you need for optimal health

    Good Energy offers a new, cutting-edge understanding of the true cause of illness. It will help you optimize your ability to live well and stay well at every age.

    From the No.1 bestselling author of Do No Harm, an entrancing and uplifting meditation on the gift of life.

    ‘A book to treasure and reread’ Gavin Francis, author of Adventures in Human Being

    As a retired brain surgeon, Henry Marsh thought he understood illness, but even he was unprepared for the impact of his diagnosis of advanced cancer.

    In And Finally, he navigates the bewildering transition from doctor to patient. As the days pass, his mind turns to his career, to the people and places he has known, and to creative projects still to be completed.

    Yet he is also more entranced than ever by the mysteries of science and nature, by his love for his family, and – most of all – by what it is to be alive.
