Healthy Heart, Healthy Brain: An Easy-to-Implement Plan to Boost Your Cardiovascular Health, Optimize Your Mental Strength, and Prevent and Reverse Arterial Disease
Author:
Bradley Bale, M.D. and Amy Doneen, DNP with Lisa Collier Cool
Summary:
The short of it: An easy-to-implement plan to boost your cardiovascular health, optimize your mental strength, and prevent and reverse arterial disease.
Drs. Bale and Doneen have pioneered a groundbreaking new medical specialty called “Arteriology”, which is the focus of the book.
It’s designed to optimize the health of the more than 60,000 miles of blood vessels in our body, enabling people to avoid heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, kidney disease, erectile dysfunction, cancer, heart failure, Alzheimer’s disease, and other devastating disorders.
Since 2008, Drs. Bale and Doneen have offered all their patients a written guarantee stating that if they experience a heart attack or stroke while under the two specialists’ care, they will refund 100 percent of all fees paid that year. To date, they have only had to give three refunds, despite treating hundreds of high-risk patients.
In 2019, Drs. Bale and Doneen advanced their evidence-based approach to prevention with their new AHA (Arterial Health Assurance) for Life plan, which is presented in-depth in the book, along with the stories of patients of all ages who have used it successfully to live well, without fear of heart attacks, strokes, dementia or other devastating complications of CVD.
Beat the Heart Attack Gene: The Revolutionary Plan to Prevent Heart Disease, Stroke, and Diabetes
Author:
Bradley Bale
Summary:
The short of it: Heart attacks are preventable—even if heart disease runs in the family.
In Beat the Heart Attack Gene, world-renowned cardiovascular specialists Bradley Bale, MD and Amy Doneen, ARNP, present a new model for understanding health and wellness and preventing heart disease. They explain the three different genetic types of cholesterol profiles and tailor treatments for each type, using their cutting-edge Bale/Doneen Method, a simple, comprehensive prevention plan that detects cardiovascular disease (CVD) at early stages. Beat the Heart Attack Gene includes easy quizzes and self-tests that show how to determine cholesterol genotype as well as advice for how to apply that knowledge through nutritional and lifestyle changes. For heart attack and stroke survivors, the Bale/Doneen Method also helps prevent recurrences by identifying and treating what’s triggering the patient’s disease—a crucial step that many cardiologists neglect.

Gasp! : Airway Health - The Hidden Path To Wellness
Author:
Dr. Michael Gelb
Summary:
The short of it: The missing link in functional medicine is airway, breathing, and sleep.
Gasp describes the impact of a narrowed airway from cradle to grave. Every day, we encounter fatigued patients with chronic headaches and neck pain. They have difficulty concentrating; suffer with GI problems from acid reflux to irritable bowel syndrome. They range from thin women to men who have put on a few pounds. And you do not have to be obese to have an airway problem. Many of our younger patients with ADHD and airway issues have little body fat. Time after time we see that once the airway is opened during the day and maintained during sleep, the transformation is quick and dramatic. Breathing is life.
