The 150 Most Effective Ways to Boost Your Energy shows anyone how to get more energy out of their body—naturally.

Energy starts with attitude—you'll learn how to “think” like a high-energy person and use breathing techniques, meditation, and exercise to bust stress, beat fatigue, and boost stamina. You'll also learn how physical factors such as toxins, eating patterns, and nutritional deficiencies can sabotage strength—and how they can be corrected with proper diet and supplements. The 150 Most Effective Ways to Boost Your Energy gives you a complete program to go from exhausted to energized.

What is mostly lacking is a critical eye to what's included--you get the sense that in order to reach his 150 item quota, the author's included a lot of dubious treatments and approaches without researching them very carefully (e.g., weight lifting supplements that have been shown to have serious side effectss (even the guys on "t-nation" stopped taking them), hormone replacement for men, the "subluxation" concept that used to be prevalent in chiropractic medicine, but has been abandoned by most ethical chiropracters).And while the breezy writing style is still sometimes fun, there's a bit too much name dropping (and promotion of friends' businesses). Overall, what comes through is a rushed effort to crank out another best-seller. 15 of 16 people found the following review helpful. The Human Energy Bible! By Julio Punch To go through life full of energy, with an optimistic mindset is something we all want. This book by Dr Jonny Bowden gives you 150 strategies to get more energy into your life. I enjoyed several of Bowden's other books because they are well written, in language you and I can understand, he makes clear why certain foods, supplements, etc will or will not work for you. This certainly applies to this book. Above all his books are fun to read because he has a nice sense of humour. The book is printed on durable paper, has some nice illustrations and an excellent lay-out.The strategies included in the book include foods and supplements you can take, this information takes up about half of the book. There are shorter sections about exercise, improving your sleep, organizing your living space and how to detoxify your body.Most of the information has a basis in science, with some small excursions into subjects like acupuncture and Feng Shui. All in all this is an excellent and up-to-date guide for anyone interested in health and fitness. 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Excellente Information, easy to put to practice By Atenaide V. Excellent book, since I've started reading it I haven't been able to stop. It's a reference guide, you don't have to read the chapters in order, the information is presented in an informal language yet very accurated. Many easy tips to follow and encouraging ways to get more energized and achieve your goals of a better and healthier life. See all 19 customer reviews...
The 150 Most Effective Ways to Boost Your Energy: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About Using Nutrition, Exercise, Supplements, Stress Relief, and Personal Empowerment to Stay Energized All Day
The Natural Testosterone Plan: For Sexual Health and Energy
How to maintain optimum testosterone levels for the male body through the use of herbs, nutritional supplements, and diet • Explains the phenomenon of andropause--male menopause--and how to deal with it • Reveals scientific evidence of testosterone-blocking agents in the environment that alter men’s essential chemistry as they age • Presents safe, organic plant medicines that can restore optimum testosterone levels • Contains the most up-to-date natural treatments for impotence, infertility, and prostate disease The recognition of the middle-age stage in male development of andropause, which is comparable to women’s menopause, is hampered by the lack of a clear understanding of the chemistry and physiology specific to aging men. Men are still capable of reproduction well into and beyond middle age. Yet a man’s sexual desire and potency varies, often according to his testosterone level. Recent studies show that the lowered testosterone levels endemic in aging men--the gradual drop that is quite normal--is being exacerbated by environmental agents. Testosterone-blocking estrogen agents are present in insecticides, industrial materials, pharmaceuticals, and foods. Men are daily inundated with a “cocktail” of estrogen agents that alter the fine balance of testosterone that makes them male. In The Natural Testosterone Plan, Stephen Harrod Buhner shows why men need help to maintain their testosterone levels as they age and explains how safe, naturally occurring phytoandrogens--plant medicines that contain male hormones--can remedy the depletion exerted by the environment. Buhner details how each phytoandrogen works, when its use is indicated, and the most appropriate method of application.

Review “Stephen Buhner combines scientific research, traditional knowledge, and personal experience into what may be one of the most important books available on men’s health today. He primarily explores the little-known territory of men’s hormonal changes during midlife--a transition in men’s life that has unfortunately been largely ignored, often denied by modern medicine--and offers simple, sensible solutions to help men navigate this important cycle of their lives.” (Rosemary Gladstar, founder of United Plant Savers and author of Herbal Healing for Women )"This book is superbly laid out in easy-to-understand language to get you back on track, complete with dosages, possible herb/drug interactions, and availability." (Rahasya Poe, Lotus Guide, July-Aug. 2007 )"[Buhner] blends scientific research, traditional knowledge, and personal experience. The solutions he offers to help men maintain testosterone levels are very natural . . . " (The American Herb Association, Vol. 22:3, Sept 2007 )"This book is very educational, informative, and well-organized. If the reader has little understanding of hormone changes, this book explains it in terms anyone can understand. One the other hand, if the reader is a health professional looking for alternatives for their patients, the book also speaks to them. This is a good reference book to keep alongside the health and gardening volumes on your bookshelves."

Gero With every book on herbal therapy I'm able to learn something new.

Lotus Guide review By Rahasya Poe The Natural Testosterone Plan: For Sexual Health and EnergyBy Stephen Harrod BuhnerLet's face it; we no longer live in the same world our parents did. Food additives and preservatives, environmental pollutants, pharmaceuticals--the list seems to go on forever with things that affect our natural balance. It was encouraging to see that there are naturally occurring phytoandrogens (plant medicines that contain male hormones) that counteract the effects of testosterone depletion. This book is superbly laid out in easy-to-understand language to get you back on track, complete with dosages, possible herb/drug interactions, and availability.Rahasya Poe, Lotus Guide, www.lotusguide.com See all 10 customer reviews...
