  THE US EDITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER  
  A momentous medical breakthrough —a scientifically proven program for managing and reversing Type 2 Diabetes at any stage of health. 
  The fastest growing disease in the world, Type 2 diabetes has long been regarded as an incurable, lifelong condition that becomes progressively worse over time, resulting in pain, loss of vision, amputation, and even premature death. But there is hope. 
  For more than four decades, Dr. Roy Taylor has been studying the causes of diabetes. In 2017, he had a breakthrough: he found scientific proof that Type 2 diabetes is not only reversible, but that anyone following a simple regimen can prevent and cure it. Dr. Taylor’s research shows that Type 2 diabetes is caused by too much fat in the liver and pancreas, which interferes with both organs’ normal functioning. By losing less than 1 gram of fat, the liver and organ can begin to perform as they were designed to once again—thus beginning the reversal process.  
  The most efficient way to shed fat from the liver and pancreas is to lose weight as quickly as possible. Life Without Diabetes makes it easy for people to cut back on their daily calorie intake and avoid the two big problems of dieting—hunger and choice—and lose up to 35 pounds in just eight weeks. Thanks to Dr. Taylor, we can now fundamentally change how we treat and prevent this debilitating and all-too-common disease forever. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Living with ADHD can feel like the world wasn't made for you. But what if it's really a superpower in the wrong context? 
  Too often, a neurodivergent person can feel like the world wasn't made for them. They take this perspective and blame themselves for issues they can't fix in others, and yet they rarely take credit for their successes. Clinicians, people with ADHD, and their family may struggle to understand this disorder beyond the diagnostic criteria. It frustratingly affects many aspects of daily living that don't seem to count toward or are often neglected in treatment paradigms. 
  But what if we could think about ADHD in a new context? 
  ADHD is far more complex than a diagnosis. It's systemic in the lives of people with ADHD and often misunderstood by those around them. Yet perhaps looking at ADHD with a wider focus, looking through the context of complex PTSD and challenging the assumed origins of the disorder, can help reveal the hidden superpowers. 
  Tackle an unfair locus of control. Name the strengths of each person with ADHD. Challenge your own ideas about people with ADHD and how to care for them from a place of empathy. 
  Then, let's work on changing the world together.
