Product Description
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 symptomsrather 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;

 This book is WONDERFUL!!!! March 1, 2010

I saw Dr. Hyman on a PBS show and was really galvanized! Everything he said made so much sense. I asked my library for it and they said yes we have it and will put you down for it - you are 168 in line... WHAT!? But I was so enthralled by what he had said I actually went to the bookstore and bought it, brand new, full price, hardback!
It has really changed my life. It is as if a curtain has been drawn up, I see - with horror - that the big food companies, fast food places, etc - are actually poisoning us to increase their $$$s. You take bland, nutritionally empty food and dump a load of garbage in it and suddenly it not only tastes good but can sit on the shelf for years and even the rats won't touch it. This is damaging not only our bodies but especially our delicate brains...
Read all your labels: chemicals, preservatives, dyes, high fructose corn syrup, pesticides, fungicides, ten kinds of sugars, GMOs (genetically altered), mercury and other toxic metals, antibiotics, hormones, excitotoxins (which are PROVEN in many separate studies to destroy brain cells), artificial colors and flavors... the list just goes on and on...
Did you know the FDA allows MSG to be added under the guise of "Natural Flavors" on the label? Says so, right on the FDA's site...
Did you know that Europe will not import any of our GMO crops AND the labels there (in Europe) MUST state if any GMO ingredients are in the food - the FDA says we don't need this here...
You start eating right and taking supplements you need (the guide will walk you through this) and you cannot believe how much better you will feel. I recommend this book to everybody!
I have energy, I don't hurt and my brain feels like it is new... I cannot say enough good things about this "program".

A lot of good information concerning a natural way to
return to health. What's not included are the resources
such as available testing, where to buy vitamins and minerals, etc. Anyone interested in doing this yourself will be at a lose. Even the resources in his website are cleverly made fuzzy.

The UltraMind solution is one of those books that first is marketed to the wrong audience. Why? It is marketed to people with a broken brain, and that is wrong because what Dr. Mark Hyman exposes and explains should be addressed first and foremost as preventive medicine. Then, it should be addressed as a solution to body imbalances.
I am not a physician nor related to the health care industry. I am 50 years old and with some slight variations that Dr. Hyman explains in the book I feel 20 plus years younger. This book is not about looking good, it is about feeling great!
Dr. Hymans exposition of our current nutritional state and our lack knowledge are the culprit of our problems caused by greedy people and corrupt government officials that have permitted the depletion of our health as a nation through the use of toxic chemicals, excessive sugar consumption, legalization of High Corn Fructose Syrup and excessive use of hormones and antibiotics in our livestock.
Everyone should read this book and learn what is really happening to our bodies. Dr. Hayman, thanks for such a wonderful book, you have made a difference.
The Ultra-Mind Solution February 11, 2010
Amy Hagerup (Wisconsin, USA)
The author's premise is that all the body's systems are intrically related and that the basis for their optimal operation begins with a healthy brain. He details seven keys to ultra-wellness. The biggest section is on nutrition and rightly so. The author even gives little quizes on different key nutrients our body needs so that the reader can determine how they are personally doing with that nutrient. That is followed by suggestions to improve your levels. There are a few drawings to help the reader understand how the body works and he also gives links to additional information on his website. The information in this book has helped me as a Shaklee Distributor and Health and Wellness instructor. I've already recommended this book to several clients who want to improve their health. Not only is this a good book to read but it is also a great book to have for reference too.
this is a necessary book for everyone to read for a healthly lifestyle February 10, 2010
tahoedreamer (south lake tahoe, ca)
This book is a necessary book for everyone to read if you want to have a healthy body, and spirit. I can not put it down. I hope that after I read the entire book, I am half way through.... I can retain all of the information.
