True Healing Requires A Holistic Approach

It's a more dangerous environment for the brain than ever before in history. A neurotoxic "perfect storm" that assaults the brain and self on all levels – physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. No one escapes the weakening effects of this mysterious and invisible epidemic. Rates of anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline have skyrocketed and keep climbing. Medication and conventional treatments have failed to stop the mental health crisis, even if they suppress the symptoms. Until the real cause is discovered and treated, things will keep getting worse. Dr. Cortright's work is the first guidebook that shows, step-by-step, how to navigate the neurotoxic minefield of modern life, so you can function at the highest levels of creative productivity, without the exhaustion and burnout. It brings together the newest research in neuroscience, nutrition, and psychology to reveal the complex sources of this neurotoxic stew. And most important, it offers a way back towards our own peak intelligence and radiant brain function, so we can show up and participate in the world at full mental capacity.
