What determines the health of our brain?The answer is simpler than you think!
Primarily, sugar addiction is responsible for poor health and chronic conditions such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, or obesity. Dr. Mike Dow revolutionary new book combines cutting-edge scientific research and easily achievable lifestyle strategies.
Carefully examines how sugar affects the brain chemistry. Sugar releases serotonin in the brain, a compound that induces a 'feel-good' sensation, prompting us to eat more. However, recent studies have shown that sugar actually shrinks the brain, leading to a decrease in the size of the hippocampus and a range of other issues: including memory problems, depression, and weight gain. Over time, we become addicted to sugar and are already caught in a vicious cycle.
Dr. Dow has gathered a wealth of data from the latest research on how an excess of harmful carbohydrates and bad fats in our diet damages our brains and bodies - and precisely describes what we can do about it!
The 28-day Sugar Detox is based on a low-carb, healing fats-rich, Mediterranean diet that allows gradual detoxification. By filling out the tests in the book, we can find out if we suffer from serotonin or dopamine deficiency (or both). Detailed guidance is also provided on how to overcome cravings for sugar and bad fats by replacing harmful foods with healthier ones, delicious recipes, useful dietary supplements, and incorporating new, supportive activities.
The method also suggests other techniques for maintaining our brain health, including cognitive behavioral therapy and self-hypnosis.
The Sugar Detox is a successful method for preserving the health of our brain and getting rid of belly fat, gradually and systematically helps overcome life-threatening sugar addiction.
In large part, sugar addiction is responsible for the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and poor health in civilized countries. Dr. Mike Dow's groundbreaking new book combines cutting-edge research with easily achievable lifestyle strategies. The insights shared here will help you look and feel your best. A must-read for both doctors and patients.

"Sugar is a brain-shrinking, fattening molecule that has nothing to do with whole food sources. Often paired with saturated fats (hello, donut!), it leads to an addiction to nutrient-deprived, killer foods, ultimately causing heart disease, stroke, cancer, obesity, and diabetes. I commend Dr. Mike Dow for offering a truly effective program for sugar lovers."
