The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance
Josh Waitzkin’s book has great appeal. As a former athlete who has a tendency to over think a majority of issues, I was drawn to the blend of cognitive process and Eastern philosophy.
An integration of the ordered and the abstract. An eclectic mix of ideas no doubt.
The book is an interesting journey of reflection, loss and dealing with conflict. Progression as an individual and patterning processes to achieve improved outcomes and optimal performance.
Ibuprofen Linked To Infertility In Males

The Real Meal Revolution
Highly Recommended Book to Begin Your Nutritional Journey
The Real Meal Revolution is a fantastic book for all patients to begin your journey to better nutrition, reducing inflammation, managing blood sugar levels and insulin resistance.
We often recommend The Real Meal Revolution as one of the first books for patients to read about nutrition.
Authored by esteemed Professor Tim Noakes, an award winning endurance athlete chef Jonno Proudfoot, and well credentialed nutritionist Sally-Anne Creed, this book is an easy to read guide to Low Carbohydrate High Fat eating (LCHF).
With easy to follow logic, great recipes and photos, shopping lists and tips, as well as a robust chapter on the science for those of us that are nerds.
Correlation between Cervical Lordosis and Cervical Disc Herniation in young patients with Neck Pain
PUBLISHED: Medicine (Baltimore). 2019 Aug;98(31):e16545. doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000016545. PubMed: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31374017
AUTHORS: Gao K, Zhang J, Lai J, Liu W, Lyu H, Wu Y, Lin Z, Cao Y.
RESULTS: The degree of disc herniation was higher in the straight and kyphosis groups compared to the lordosis group.
With the improvement of cervical lordotic curvature, the degree of disc herniation decreased and height of disc space increased.
CONCLUSIONS: The degree of disc herniation and cervical spinal cord compression are inversely correlated to cervical lordosis in young neck pain patients, and the degree of disc herniation and height of disc space can recover with the recovery of cervical lordotic curvature.
Addition of a Sagittal Cervical Posture Corrective Orthotic Device to a Multimodal Rehabilitation Program Improves Short- and Long-Term Outcomes in Patients with Discogenic Cervical Radiculopathy
PUBLISHED: Arch Phys Med Rehabil. 2016 Dec;97(12):2034-2044. doi: 10.1016/j.apmr.2016.07.022. Epub 2016 Aug 27. Pub Med: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27576192
AUTHORS: Moustafa IM, Diab AA, Taha S, Harrison DE.
CONCLUSIONS: The addition of the Denneroll cervical orthotic device to a multimodal program positively affected discogenic CR outcomes at long-term follow-up.
We speculate that improved cervical lordosis and reduced AHT contributed to our findings.
