* Around 20% of world’s population has diabetes or is pre-diabetic. * 24.6%–26% of India's adult population has diabetes or pre-diabetes These numbers are only going to go up as we look for more instant gratification (i.e. food delivery, packaged food etc). While we fix what we consume, a new scientific study brings an interesting perspective between diabetes and …sleep. A circadian rhythm is the body's natural 24-hour internal clock that regulates sleep, metabolism, hormone release, and other physiological processes in response to light and darkness.
Circadian rhythms are personal biological clocks that exist in each one of our cells and they influence every aspect of our health. The Circadian Diabetes Code now applies this cutting-edge science to tackling type 2 diabetes. Combining circadian rhythms with intermittent fasting - the worldwide phenomenon launched in Dr Satchin Panda's ( leading expert in the field of circadian rhythm research) lab - you'll find out how to use this unique protocol to take back control of diabetes and achieve life-long health You can be in complete control of your blood sugar by living in alignment with your circadian rhythm. Changing when you eat, sleep and exercise can help you to treat, manage - and even reverse - type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes. Share this with a diabetic friend or a relative of yours!

When we eat, carbohydrates break down into glucose, flooding our bloodstream. Insulin, the key hormone produced by the pancreas, acts like a signal to open cell doors, allowing glucose in for energy or storage as glycogen and fat. When this delicate balance of storing and releasing glucose is disrupted, and blood sugar stays elevated, diabetes develops. Understanding these fundamental processes is the first step in taking control. Broken Clocks: How Modern Life Throws Off Our Natural Rhythms Our bodies are governed by circadian rhythms, internal 24-hour clocks that dictate when every cell functions optimally. These rhythms are deeply synchronized with the day-night cycle. However, modern erratic lifestyles, with inconsistent sleep, irregular eating times, and exposure to artificial light at night, confuse our master clock, the SCN. This misalignment disrupts critical metabolic processes, including blood glucose regulation, increasing our risk for diabetes and other health problems. As the author states, "When your circadian clock is broken, you cannot control your metabolism and you are at risk for diabetes". The Circadian Breakthrough: Timing Matters More Than You Think Groundbreaking research has revealed that the timing of our meals has a profound impact on our metabolism, often overriding signals from the brain's master clock. Studies on mice showed that even with an unhealthy diet, restricting food intake to an 8- to 10-hour window could prevent the development of glucose intolerance and metabolic diseases. This pivotal discovery highlights that when we eat is just as crucial as what we eat for managing blood sugar and overall health. As the author emphasizes, "Living in alignment with your natural circadian rhythm is the diabetes hack we were looking for". A Broken Circadian Rhythm: The Sinister Influence on Diabet

One day in 2004, Gardiner Harris, early for a flight, sat down at an airport bar and started talking to the woman on the barstool beside him. She was a drug sales rep for Johnson & Johnson, and her horrific story about unethical sales practices and the devastating impact they’d had on her family fundamentally changed the nature of how Harris covered the company—and the entire pharmaceutical industry—for The New York Times. His subsequent investigations and ongoing research since that very first conversation led to new federal laws and ultimately to this book, a blistering exposé of a trusted American institution and the largest healthcare conglomerate in the world. Harris takes us light years away from the company’s image as the child-friendly “baby company” as he uncovers reams of evidence showing decades of deceitful and dangerous corporate practices that have threatened the lives of millions. He covers multiple disasters: lies and cover-ups regarding baby powder’s linkage to cancer, the surprising dangers of Tylenol, a criminal campaign to sell antipsychotics in ways that have cost countless lives, a popular drug used to support cancer patients that actually increases the risk that cancer tumors will grow, and deceptive marketing efforts that accelerated opioid addictions through their product Duragesic (fentanyl) that rival even those of the Sacklers and Purdue Pharma.Filled with shocking, infuriating, but utterly necessary revelations, No More Tears is a landmark work of investigative journalism that lays bare the deeply rooted corruption behind the image of babies bathing with a smile.
A pioneering professor of organizational behavior turns the concept of networking on its head, arguing that we must move beyond the standard mentorship model to embrace sponsorship, where we use our social networks and political capital on behalf of others."It's not what you know, but who you know." According to conventional wisdom, our social networks are a resource to exploit, and getting ahead means extracting value from our social connections. But according to Dr. Rosalind Chow, Professor of organizational behavior at Carnegie Mellon's business school, not only is this an antiquated notion, it's also useless in today's society and workplaces. And it certainly doesn't account for the fact that not everyone starts on equal footing in the workplace. Based on decades of original research analyzing social hierarchies, corporate environments, and gender and race relations, Beyond Mentorship makes a bold case for completely changing the way we network. To increase the number of women and BIPOC employees in our organizations, particularly in senior roles, we need sponsorship, not mentorship. Sponsorship involves managing others' impressions or beliefs about a protégé or colleague. Our social networks can and should be used on behalf of others. And it helps us too. What if we tried to position ourselves so that we could be the first to share new information, to elevate others to be more visible to decision makers, and to connect people to the help that they need? Suddenly, networking would become much more than just ladder climbing.At a moment the workplace is going through a seismic transformation, this book is a potent reminder that we can all build more equitable connections effectively, meaningfully, and joyously. And this book will empower readers to be smarter about cultivating authentic, supportive, diverse relationships and communities.
Are you working too much but feel like it's never enough? Have you turned the act of pretending you're "fine" into an art form? Does self-care feel like one more item on your already long to-do list? We've been taught that resilience is the secret to navigating life's most difficult moments. But according to New York Times bestselling author, organizational psychologist, and researcher Dr. Tasha Eurich, there is one problem with this assumption. Scientifically, resilience isn't an unlimited resource, especially with the growing pressure and uncertainty we're experiencing today. What if, instead of merely "bouncing back" from stressors and setbacks, we could harness them for forward growth? Whether you're grappling with work stress, personal challenges, or the chaos of everyday life, Shatterproof offers an urgent alternative to stoic endurance as the only strategy for survival. Combining cutting-edge research, practical tools, and insights from her own struggle with a life-defining health crisis, Dr. Eurich will overturn your beliefs about what it takes to thrive through adversity, offering a scientifically supported system to help you feel better, do better, and live better than before. You'll discover how to: * Reclaim your best self when stress turns you into someone you barely recognize * Uncover the unmet needs that keep you stuck in self-limiting patterns * Turn stress into strength, exhaustion into energy, and confusion into confidence * Find peace in the present and be prepared for what the future holds * And much more When we embark on this journey, we learn that the things that break us can also uniquely remake us. That is what it means to become shatterproof.
