Apples & Pears

The Body Shape Solution for Weight Loss and Wellne

By: Marie Savard

A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO THE CHALLENGES OF BODY SHAPE, APPLES & PEARS PRESENTS WEIGHT LOSS AND WELLNESS SOLUTIONS THAT ARE PRACTICAL...AND, ABOVE ALL, POSSIBLE. · Understand what body shape means, how it is formed, how it changes, and how it relates to your health. · Learn why all fat is not created equal. · Discover the Elite foods that help protect against disease, promote general wellness, and improve your odds of shedding fat. · Find out why the human body is not designed to give up weight easily -- and learn what you can do to lose more weight with less effort. · Change the way you relate to your body forever. · Acquire the tools you need to make conscious, informed, healthy choices about food while still living in the real world. · Throw away your scale and get out of the cycle of diet failure. No more fads. No more confusion. When it comes to your health, body shape really does matter! Chances are you already know if you're an apple or a pear. If you tend to gain weight in your belly and back, you're an apple. If your thighs and derriere are the canvas on which your snack food sins are written, then you're a pear. But what does it matter? Gut or butt, too much is too much, right? Wrong! Whether you are an apple-shaped or pear-shaped woman determines far more than whether you select a swimsuit with a waist-whittling pattern or a thigh-hiding skirt. According to medical pioneer Marie Savard, M.D., your body shape is the single most powerful predictor of future health. It is connected to differences in your physical chemistry, hormone production, and metabo-lism and directly affects your likelihood for obesity, heart disease, osteoporosis, the metabolic syndrome, diabetes, stroke, varicose veins, and certain cancers. Your body shape may be putting your health in danger through no fault of your own. But there is good news: There are things you can do to prevent or even reverse the risks of body shape. Apples & Pears: The Body Shape Solution for Weight Loss and Wellness offers women of all shapes and sizes specific nutri-tional and exercise recommendations based on body type. So much more than just another diet book, Apples & Pears teaches you exactly what you need to do to sidestep the physical and emotional pitfalls of body shape in order to live longer, lose weight, and feel healthier.

Insomnia and Fatigue after Traumatic Brain Injury

A CBT Approach to Assessment and Treatment

By: Marie-Christine Ouellet,Simon Beaulieu-Bonneau,Josee Savard,Charles M. Morin

Insomnia and fatigue are two of the most frequent consequences after traumatic brain injury (TBI). About 30% of individuals suffer from chronic insomnia, an additional 20% have symptoms of insomnia, and up to 75% have significant and persistent fatigue. There is a strong empirical basis for the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral interventions for the management of insomnia and fatigue in the general population and in other patient populations, and emerging research shows that these interventions seem applicable with similar benefits to people with TBI. Insomnia and Fatigue After Traumatic Brain Injury: A CBT Approach to Assessment and Treatment is written by a team of four scientist-practitioners in psychology who are experts in sleep medicine, cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Together they have authored this assessment and intervention manual for insomnia and fatigue, intended for clinicians working with the TBI population. Based on cognitive-behavioral principles, the manual integrates evidence-based interventions and techniques used by expert clinicians working with these populations. Throughout the development process, there has been an ongoing integration of the best available research, specialized clinical expertise, and knowledge transfer expertise: all of these perspectives were used to choose, revise, and format the content of the manual as to ensure that it would be most useful for the target audience. - Authored by specialists in sleep medicine, CBT and TBI - Covers both assessment and treatment for TBI insomnia and fatigue - Contains treatment plans in detail - Suitable for inpatient and outpatient settings - Appropriate for mild to severe TBI - Includes extensive patient handouts

Apples and Pears

A Revolutionary Diet Programme for Weight Loss and Optimum Health

By: Marie Savard,Carol Svec

Tum or Bum? Apple or Pear? According to women's health expert Dr Marie Savard, body shape is the closest thing we have to a medical crystal ball. More important than our weight itself, this one simple piece of information can help determine our propensity to develop certain diseases as well as guide us towards the best way of tackling weight loss. Apples and Pears will help women assess their own body shape, alert them to the potential health risks associated with each one such as heart disease, osteoporosis and breast cancer and offer them vital dietary advice on how to manage their shape and stave off weight gain. Detailed dietary plans provide simple, long-term weight loss solutions based on medical assessments of the characteristics of apple and pear-shaped women. Whether your hips are that inch too wide or your stomach sticks out that bit too far will determine far more than which swimsuit design is most flattering for your body. Apples and Pears is a highly accessible, practical guide to finding out why.
