'Why We Get Sick' by Benjamin Bikman unpacks the root cause of modern diseases. He provides a concise road map to help you regain or maintain your health. This book is a unique, rigorous contribution to understanding insulin resistance as an underlying cause of chronic disease and ageing.
'Why We Sleep' by Dr Matt Walker brilliantly illuminates the night, explaining how sleep can make us healthier, safer, smarter and more productive. Clearly and definitively, he provides knowledge and strategies to overcome the life-threatening risks associated with our sleep-deprived society.

The next chapter destroys all nutritional myths and builds information scientifically easily and smoothly to absorb Dr Faisal’s innovation in calories, fat storage, burning rate, weight loss, sports, body shapes, BMI, etc, and the number of meals. The book deals with practical topics such as fat mass, metabolism, energy expenditure, heat generation, numbers and equations.
'Does the Bald Need Shampoo?' The book by Dr Ahmed Abdul Malik has the story of baldness that began on May 14, 2017. It started with a real question from one of my followers and ended with writing a book.
The book does not only talk about baldness, but also various strange questions in a simple, light-blooded, scientific medical manner: Why isn’t there a cardio-cancer? Why do women live longer than men? Why don’t we sneeze while we sleep? Why are our veins green when our blood is red? And many other questions that need clarification about their answers.
