Summary

A hidden epidemic races around the globe -- we can't see it or touch it, which makes it so dangerous.

The invisible epidemic has led to the suffering of millions who spend billions on drugs, only to find they don't work.

This is an epidemic of broken brains.

"Broken brains" go by many names -- depression, anxiety, memory loss, brain fog, attention deficit disorder, autism, and dementia, to name a few -- and show up in radically different ways from person to person, making each seem like a separate problem.

But the truth is that these "diagnoses" are all the result of a few basic problems with our biology. Pinpoint these biological problems, fix them, and let your body's natural healing intelligence take over to repair your brain. Now you can experience an UltraMind -- one that is highly focused and able to pay attention at will, with a strong, reliable memory and a mood that is calm, confident, in control, and in good spirits.

We have all heard of the mind-body connection or how our thoughts affect the health of our body. But the reverse is far more powerful: what you do to your body, your basic biology, has a profound effect on your brain.

Have you ever experienced instant clarity after exercise? Alertness after drinking coffee? A mental crash after popping candy? Does your brain inexplicably slow down during stress, while multitasking, or when meeting a deadline? Each is an example of how what we do to our bodies -- whether through nutrition, sleep, exercise, or stress -- has a dramatic effect on our brains.

Conventional treatments don't help, or provide only slight benefit, because they just manage symptoms rather than deal with -- and heal -- the underlying problem. And just as brain problems all stem from the same root causes, they all have the same solution -- The UltraMind Solution.

Our ancient genes interact with our environment to create systemic imbalances that affect our brains. Correct those imbalances -- most caused by nutritional deficiencies, allergens, infections, toxins, and stress -- and you can achieve optimum mental health without drugs or psychotherapy.

The UltraMind Solution is the future of medicine, the culmination of the last twenty years of research on what makes the brain happy, focused, and calm; research that has uncovered a few simple factors that explain why things go wrong and how to fix them.

Don't wait for this revolution in medicine to trickle into your doctor's office: it usually takes research twenty years to move from the lab to the patient. The answers are here, right now, in The UltraMind Solution.

This book has changed my practice...

Rating: Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

As a health coach, I support people each and every day who have given up on the hope of creating the body they desire. They are eating less, choosing healthier and are continuing to have low energy and large waistlines. In reading Dr. Hyman's book, I realized the disconnect....my clients weren't supplementing well, based on the challenges their bodies are facing.

By utilizing the assessments offered in Dr. Hyman's book, I'm able to now customize an even more detailed eating and lifestyle plan that supports my clients more powerfully. The change has been dramatic. One of my clients who had been stuck at her weight for two weeks, began to lose weight again with one simple supplement switch. I've gotten numerous reports of how not only the scale is moving, but energy levels are shifting, their minds are clearing and their motivation is increasing.

Such a blessing.

I carry Dr. Hyman's book around with me and reference it often. I've even placed it in the "My Favorite Things" section of my website - [...]. I recommend it highly!

Best,

Should be required reading in high school

Rating: Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

Mark Hyman's THE ULTRAMIND SOLUTION spells out, in practical, easy to read and easy to implement fashion, the nutrition essentials that everyone needs to know to stay on top of his or her game, both physically and mentally. Every high school student and certainly every parent should consider THE ULTRAMIND SOLUTION as required reading. Fans of Michael Pollen's books will find this right up their alley.

The bad news, for those new to this information, is that the prepared food, pre-packaged food, and restaurant industries have found a combination of inexpensive production and sophisticated marketing to provide a great deal of food that is not only very bad for us but that also dramatically boosts the number of customers for the medical profession. "You are what you eat," takes on a whole new meaning.

Parents of children showing signs of autism and learning disabilities, attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder (ADHD) and other problems should read this book and follow the guidelines before doing anything else.

Since so many people are associated with agricultural and food preparation industries that are in the business of producing and selling us stuff that is making us obese, diabetic, hyperactive, depressed and "foggy" minded, they are sure to absolutely hate this book since, if everyone followed Hyman's advice and decided to eat healthy, they would be out of business.

Rating: Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I'm about 2/3 through the book, which was recommended by a friend. What an eye opening description of our current medical system and what some other options might provide. When I complete the book I plan on finding a doctor in my area who has trained in "functional medicine" and taking myself and my children for evaluation. I highly recommend this book for those who no longer want to participate in the "drug cocktail" environment of today's medical treatment. Currently, I take 3 medications, my daughter (15) takes 4 and my son (13) takes 5!!

Good; fairly technical

Rating: Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4

Dr. Hyman's advice makes sense. Buy the workbook that goes with the book. A little early to tell what results we obtained, but we are hopeful.

Biggest breakthrough in my 57 years of life

Rating: Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I have been on psych meds since 1984. This is a breakthrough. It makes sense. The book was reccomended by my family doctor who just happens to practice functional medicine. I am balancing my thyroid and testoserone and feeling much better. I was diagnosed with bi-polar and have had ECT with no help. I have gone to Recovery International meetings for the last 6 years. I have literally tried all the meds without a cure. This is a great book. I am already getting results and am off Zanax and only take 1/4 the Clonopin I used to.
