  Does eating more carbohydrates, or fats, cause one to put on more weight? Are ketone bodies toxins or vital products that keep us alive during starvation? Does the concept of 'fat-burning exercise' hold true? In this game-changing book, Keith Frayn, an international expert in human metabolism and nutrition, dispels common misconceptions about human metabolism, explaining in everyday language the important metabolic processes that underlie all aspects of our daily lives. Frayn describes the communication systems that enable our different organs and tissues to cooperate, for instance in providing fuel to our muscles when we exercise, and in preserving our tissues during fasting. He explores the impressive adaptability of human metabolism and discusses the metabolic disorders that can arise when metabolism 'goes wrong'. For anyone skeptical of information about diet and lifestyle, this concise book guides the listener through what metabolism really involves.

  Customers know Brown's Chicken for its crispy buttermilk fried chicken and flaky biscuits. The Illinois-based franchise has a reputation for delicious but simple comfort food. But through no fault of its own, the words "Brown's Chicken" are also synonymous with one fateful night in January of 1993."A Real Hometown" is the trite but apt motto of Palatine, Illinois, a quaint middle-class suburb west of Chicago. On a snowy Friday evening, the staff and owners of the city's local Brown's Chicken franchise were closing up when two final customers arrived just past 9pm. As the night drew on and the employees hadn't returned home, the families of the owners and workers began to worry, prompting police to investigate. When they entered the dark building, police were shocked to find seven bodies stacked in the restaurant's freezer and fridge. The killers, of course, were long gone. In the months that followed, the horrendous story rocked Chicagoland and the case remained unsolved for nine years.The Brown's Chicken massacre is one of the most infamous cases in Illinois history, yet it is often misremembered. In Something Big, Patrick Wohl gives a new account of the story, taking listeners behind the scenes and sharing the perspective of the people who lived it.

  8 Signs You're Dating a...

  Understanding sociopathy in relationships is essential for recognizing and protecting yourself from emotional and psychological harm. Sociopaths, also known as individuals with Antisocial Personality Disorder, often exhibit a pattern of manipulation, deceit, and a lack of empathy. They can be charming, persuasive, and seemingly perfect at first, making it difficult to identify their true nature until significant damage has been done. Dating a sociopath can leave a person feeling confused, drained, and emotionally broken. The signs are often subtle at the beginning but become increasingly apparent as the relationship progresses.  
    
  Sociopaths thrive on control, often using charm to gain trust before revealing their darker tendencies. Their relationships are not based on genuine love or connection but rather on dominance and personal gain. They have an uncanny ability to read people, identifying vulnerabilities and using them to manipulate emotions. What may start as an exciting and passionate romance can quickly turn into a toxic and draining experience. The cycle of idealization, devaluation, and eventual discard leaves their partners questioning their own reality.  
    
  Recognizing the signs of sociopathy early in a relationship can help prevent long-term emotional trauma. Sociopaths lack the ability to form real emotional bonds, making their relationships superficial and self-serving. Their actions are often calculated, and their words are designed to elicit specific reactions. They may lie compulsively, gaslight their partners into doubting their own perceptions, and shift blame to avoid accountability. Over time, their behavior escalates, leaving their victims feeling trapped and emotionally depleted.

  The Anatomy of Anorexia -...

  Eating disorders like anorexia are not simply about food; they are deeply tied to the mind, often representing a way of coping with emotional pain, stress, or a desire for control in an otherwise chaotic world. Anorexia, in particular, is often rooted in a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and environmental factors. Understanding the anatomy of anorexia—its causes, consequences, and treatment options—is crucial for providing effective care and support for those affected. While anorexia may appear on the surface to be a pursuit of perfection or vanity, it is, in fact, a manifestation of deeper struggles with self-worth, identity, and emotional regulation.  
    
  It is essential to acknowledge the pervasive cultural pressures that exacerbate this disorder, such as the media’s portrayal of the “ideal” body and societal expectations placed on individuals, particularly women, to conform to unrealistic standards of beauty. These pressures, combined with individual vulnerabilities, can create a perfect storm, pushing someone toward the extreme behaviors associated with anorexia. Unfortunately, due to a lack of understanding, many individuals who struggle with anorexia do not seek help until the condition has reached a severe and often irreversible stage. 
    
  This book aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of anorexia nervosa, breaking down the disorder into its core components. By delving into the biological, psychological, and environmental factors that contribute to the development of anorexia, we hope to shed light on the complexities of this condition. Through understanding, we can move toward greater empathy, support, and, ultimately, healing for those affected. It is not enough to simply recognize the symptoms of anorexia; we must also understand the underlying causes that drive these behaviors. Only then can we begin to address the disorder in a holistic, effective manner.
