 The Inflammation Reset: The 28-Day Plan to Reduce Pain, Restore Energy, and Reverse Hidden Inflammation

The Reset Series, Book 1

by Ron Yaffe

Fatigued?  Achy? Brain fog? Weight you can’t lose? The culprit may be inflammation….inflammation that has been building up in the body for years. Inflammation caused by poor diet, stress, toxins, inadequate sleep. The author, a naturopath and functional medicine practitioner, explores the specifics that cause this inflammation and proposes a 28 day plant to reverse it. 

There are specific, realistic recommendations for reversing this trend.  I found the discussion of and plan for diet and exercise particularly instructive, as were the suggestions for specific blood tests to request from your physician.  Now, if only there were some magic to help improve poor sleep.

Buddhist Practices for Calming Anxiety and Regulating Your Nervous System - Tim Desmond

 Buddhist Practices for Calming Anxiety and Regulating Your Nervous System

Pub. Date: Jan. 12, 2027

This is a valuable introduction to some of the fundamental principles of Buddhism, particularly their relevance to managing anxiety. The concise chapters provide insights into understanding anxiety and practical techniques for dealing with it. 

What struck me while reading this was the overlap between some of the thoughts and practices proposed and the methods employed in cognitive psychology.  I intend to reread this book multiple times to fully grasp the processes and their practical applications. 

Thanks to @Netgally and @w.w.Norton for the DRC.
