From the bestselling author of Go the **** to Sleep and healthy eating advocate Camila Alves McConaughey comes a whimsical role reversal in which picky eater parents are confronted by their three kids, with hilarious results

These three kids are determined to get their parents to put down the ice cream, cake, and chicken fried steak to just try one bite of healthy whole foods. But it's harder than it looks when these over-the-top gagging, picky parents refuse to give things like broccoli and kale a chance. Kids will love the jaunty rhyme that's begging to be read aloud and the opportunity to be way smarter--and healthier--than their parents.

Between the frantic pace of pre-pandemic life and the isolation and screen-time overload of 2020, many kids are suffering from stress and other mental health issues. In Building Happier Kids, pediatrician Hansa Bhargava helps parents understand the impact of stress and shares concrete steps parents can take to reduce the pressure on their children and teens and increase their health and happiness. Dr. Bhargava prescribes taking a step back from today's non-stop pace and focusing on the basics of healthy eating, quality sleep, and unscheduled free time. Extracurricular commitments, homework, and ever-present electronic devices can make this seem easier said than done, but Dr. Bhargava offers realistic, balanced advice that will help prioritize health and restore the happiness of childhood.

Nature puts a “survival switch” in our bodies to protect us from starvation. Stuck in the “on” position, it’s the hidden source of weight gain, heart disease, and many other common health struggles. But you can turn it off.

Dr. Richard Johnson has been on the cutting edge of research into the cause of obesity for more than a decade. His team’s discovery of the fructose-powered survival switch—a metabolic pathway that animals in nature turn on and off as needed, but that our modern diet has permanently fixed in the “on” position, where it becomes a fat switch—revolutionized the way we think about why we gain weight.

In Nature Wants Us to Be Fat, he details the mounting evidence on how this switch is responsible both for excess fat storage and for many of the major diseases endemic to the Western world, including heart disease, cancer, and dementia. Dr. Johnson also reveals the surprising link between the survival switch and health conditions such as gout, kidney disease, liver disease, stroke—and even behavioral issues like addiction and ADHD. And, most important, he shares a science-based plan to help readers fight back against nature.

Guided by ongoing clinical research—plus fascinating observations from the animal kingdom, evolution, and history—Dr. Johnson takes you along on an eye-opening investigation into:

• What you can do to turn off your survival switch
• What we have in common with hibernating bears, sperm whales, and the world’s fattest bird
• Why it’s fructose (not glucose) that drives insulin resistance and metabolic disease
• The foods we eat that trigger the body to make its own fructose
• The surprising role salt and dehydration play in fat accumulation

Dr. Johnson not only provides new recommendations for how we can prevent or treat obesity, but also how we can use this information to reduce our risk of developing disease. Nature wants us to be fat, and when we understand why, we gain the tools we need to lose weight and optimize our health.

Bestselling author, Emmy Award-winning cohost of The Good Dish and the upcoming 8th season of FOX’s hit series MasterChef Junior, and mother of four Daphne Oz shares her best tips for how to reward yourself, with 125 simply delicious recipes in a cookbook you’ll return to again and again to eat clean, feel good, and have fun doing it all!

Daphne Oz loves food. In fact, she’s built her career around this love of exploring and enjoying the world, bite after wonderful bite. But she knows first-hand how endless indulging robs you of the truly memorable moments – and makes it hard to stay healthy. On the other hand, restricting ourselves with too many rules means we stop enjoying mealtime and start missing out.

With four young children and a busy career, Daphne is intimately familiar with how hard it can be to find the right balance in our health and fitness goals, especially when living a full life. In this engaging book, filled with useful tips and gorgeous photography to inspire health and happiness every day, Daphne shares the techniques she’s used to get her mind, energy and body back on track after each pregnancy—without ever losing the joy of cooking, the fun of mealtime, and the stress-free pleasure of doing it intuitively. 

In the times when she’s looking to bring her body back into balance, Daphne lives by just four simple rules that remove the guesswork from healthy eating and let us relax and enjoy our meals again, knowing we’re making great choices. Those rules are:

• no gluten
• no refined sugar
• limit dairy
• take the weekend off 

Eat Your Heart Out includes a range of simple-but-special, deliciously nourishing recipes like

• Gluten-Free Banana Pumpkin Muffins
• Barbecue Pulled Chicken with Crispy Smashed Japanese Yams
• Spicy Crunchy Cauliflower Tacos with Ranch Slaw
• Feel-Good Turkey Meatloaf
• Nori Popcorn
• Banana Brulee
• Pistachio Dark Chocolate Energy Truffles

Your brain is your most important ally and most perilous foe on the journey toward long-term health and happiness, and Eat Your Heart Out equips readers to get their energy back, feel good and confident in their skin, and do it all while enjoying meals they love with people they love. Being healthy is a feeling of abundance, a chance to do and be all the things you want with your life. Daphne’s plan is a flexible approach of “and,” not “or,” so you can say goodbye to choices that don’t serve you and welcome all the pleasure that intuitively knowing how to feel good brings.
