Do you feel drained and lazy throughout the day because you’re not getting the nutrients you need?
Have you read tons of other diet guides, but they just seem too complicated to understand?
Let’s get one thing straight: losing weight doesn’t happen with the push of a button.
There are tons of diets out there that promise you will lose 10 pounds in a week.
Whether it’s a keto diet or not, most of these won’t work -- why else would you be here?

Follow in the footsteps of countless others who are taking action, and see yourself thrive in a whole new light!
What are you waiting for? This is your moment to change your life for the better!
Do you often feel like you’ve been dealt a bad hand in life?
You crave peaceand wish you could get up when the world wants you to give up, but you don’t know how to do it?
If this happens frequently, you might be one step away from sinking deep into misery and self-loathing.
Or perhaps, you’re already there.
Here’s the thing though: there’s no such thing as perpetual unhappiness.
Being unhappy is a frame of mind, and your mind is something you have complete control over.
No matter what you do, the world will keep throwing challenges at you: difficult co-workers, hard decisions, devastating personal tragedies… You cannot change that.
But what you can change is how you respond to it.
It’s up to you whether you feel frustrated, depressed, angry, and helpless, or meet those challenges head-on and stop the world from overpowering you.
To be able to deal with life on your own terms, you need to know how to protect yourself from enemies of happiness: negative thoughts, low self-esteem, and victim mentality, to name a few.
In other words, you need to build an impenetrable mind-armor that will shield you from any negativity, insecurity, and emotional distress.
Are you ready to train your mental toughness to perfection?
In Armor Your Mind, you will discover:
And much more.
Armoring your mind doesn’t mean you’ll never feel unhappy or frustrated again. You will, because you’re human.
But what you will not do is let those frustrations and negative thoughts take control over your life.
With your mind-armor, you’ll be able to stay calm and centered in the face of a challenge, and prevent both mental and emotional havoc from the experience.
There are a lot of fascinating stories out there about tiny houses.
A young woman builds a tiny cabin in the woods to live a simpler and more eco-conscious life...
An older couple buys a tiny house so they can retire without financial stress...
A family of four has a tiny house on wheels built so they can find adventure and pursue minimalism...
These stories are no doubt inspiring, yet when it comes to turning our own realities into tiny house success, the journey toward the tiny house life can feel a bit overwhelming.
Maybe you have already spent time scouring the internet, looking at pictures, reading blogs, and watching videos, yet it seems like your tiny house isn’t any closer to becoming a reality.
There are just so many questions to be answered. We’ve all been there.
Because of these challenges, Jordan Liberata wrote Live Tiny & Be Free as a way to help people take the steps needed to find their own personal form of tiny house freedom.
As an author with extensive experience in off-grid living, minimalism, and tiny houses, he has a love for the tiny house movement and the way it can activate change in people’s lives.
Through hundreds of hours of research, hearing the stories of others, and spending time living tiny, he has created a book that seeks to answer many of those questions that can be so tricky.
In this book, you will discover:
and much more…
The tiny house movement is growing globally for a reason. According to Money Crashers, 68% of people that live in tiny houses are mortgage-free.
Beyond savings, tiny houses produce over 5000 pounds less CO2 compared to traditional houses, according to a study done at the College of St. Benedict.
While these stats are quite enticing, the idea of going tiny can still be a bit scary. You may be wondering: is this really for me? What if I have kids? Am I too old for this?
The truth is, the tiny house movement suits all people in all walks of life. In fact, tiny house owners are spread pretty evenly among all ages. Moreover, tiny houses are often built for individuals and large families, and everything in between.
The tiny life is yours if you want it, it’s just a matter of making a plan and putting it into motion. This book is here to help you do just that.
Did you know that Emma Watson was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD while she was filming for Harry Potter?
Idolized as Hermione by children and respected by teens for her activism and advocacy, Emma Watson is an inspiration to girls of all ages… and everything she’s achieved, she’s managed alongside her ADHD.
She’s the perfect role model for girls with ADHD -- a group who often find themselves marginalized and misunderstood. And if you’re a parent to one of these girls, the chances are, you face many struggles you never expected to face as a parent.
How many times have you looked for help, only to find that resources are targeting externalized symptoms like hyperactivity and acting out?
But your daughter’s ADHD manifests differently. Her symptoms are more internalized. Perhaps she’s anxious and withdrawn, she has trouble focusing, or she appears not to be listening.
All too often, these girls are overlooked.
So how can you help them fit into a world that seems to not be designed for them?
The answer starts with yourself: through arming yourself with knowledge about ADHD in girls, you can help your daughter navigate the world and let her brightest qualities shine.
Because all those quirks her ADHD gives her can be advantages if she’s guided and taught to harness their power.
It’s not about forcing her to fit into a neurotypical mold: it’s about teaching her how to use her strengths and skills to find her own place within the world.
By strengthening your own understanding of how ADHD affects your daughter through each stage of development, you can fortify her with the skills she needs to be a brilliant and inspirational young woman.
In My Strength Is Her Strength, you’ll find a complete guide to parenting girls with ADHD and building your own strength in order to feed hers. You’ll discover:
And much more.
If you’re worrying about your daughter’s future, you can rest assured that she has the same chance of success as her neurotypical peers -- and she even has some unique character traits that can put her one step ahead of the game… if she knows how to use them.
By learning how to build a strong, positive approach to parenting, you can nurture your daughter and watch her flourish every step of the way.
ADHD isn’t a disability. It’s simply a different operating system… and together, you and your daughter can learn to harness its power.

This all-natural “biohack” can restore your health and keep you off those dangerous meds — for good.
Have you recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes… and feel guilty about the lifestyle choices you’ve made?
Is having to take medication getting in the way of living the kind of life you want?
Do you get frustrated every time you have to pass on your favorite foods while your friends and family enjoy themselves?
If you’ve been struggling to find a permanent solution for your type 2 diabetes, you’re not alone.
According to data from the Journal of Epidemiology and Global Health, over 462 million people around the world are affected by type 2 diabetes. And with recent health trends, this number is expected to keep growing.
You’ve likely been swarmed by dozens of medical “experts” who tell you what you should and shouldn’t do to treat your condition.
Like how “moderation is key” when it comes to your diet...
And why you have to take your insulin regularly…
And that there is absolutely no cure for type 2 diabetes.
But the unfortunate truth is that most of these “facts” are merely outdated myths.
Because if you want to treat type 2 diabetes, you don’t have to go vegan and eat “rabbit food” for the rest of your life.
Unlike traditional “doctor-recommended” diets for diabetics, you can have the fatty slabs of steak… along with a creamy tiramisu — and eat it, too!
In fact, with these modern “biohacking” techniques, you can lose weight and normalize your glucose levels in a way that’s healthy and sustainable… so you can stop worrying about what you eat and start loving food again.
In Reverse Your Type 2 Diabetes, you’ll discover:
And much more.
The conventional wisdom surrounding type 2 diabetes simply isn’t valid anymore.
You don’t have to surrender the rest of your life to years of tasteless meals and unsafe medications that will only worsen your health.
Reverse Your Type 2 Diabetes reveals the truth about standard diabetes treatments and gives straightforward solutions to help you tackle your condition without flipping your world upside down.
Living with a diabetes diagnosis doesn’t have to feel like a death sentence. With the proper guidance, choices, and perspective… this can be a doorway to a whole new life.

"Anyone out there struggling to navigate mental illness should read this thoughtful book."
—Former U.S. Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy, founder of the Kennedy Forum
“Pat, we need to kill the dog.” A chill ran down Patrick Dylan’s spine as his wife spoke—psychosis had found their family again.
When a sudden mental illness struck his wife, Patrick Dylan found himself living with an eerie stranger. Scared and unprepared, he began a desperate battle to protect her from a mysterious disease, shelter their children from her bizarre behavior, and recover the woman he loved.
For years, Patrick and Mia Dylan enjoyed an intimate marriage that exemplified partnership. They worked together to create a loving home for their two children, enjoyed a close relationship with their extended family, and offered mutual support during hard times. But on the morning of Mia’s thirty-ninth birthday, everything changed.
Within weeks, she had been admitted to the emergency room, the hospital, and the local crisis facility, but none of the experts could provide an answer. As her illness eluded diagnosis, the family’s struggle was only beginning. A brave memoir in the tradition of Brain on Fire, Dylan’s Safe, Wanted, and Loved is a compassionate, honest, and gripping account of a family navigating mental illness.
Smartphones have transformed the world with their convenience and capabilities. A single small device can replace a landline, camera, CD player, and road map—but all of this miraculous technology comes with a cost.
The dark side of smartphones is not always so obvious. Checking your phone constantly from dawn until dusk has become normalized, and most people don’t realize they’re trapped in a very real addiction.
Smartphones have particularly powerful effects on our children, making them shallow, depressed, and unable to think critically. They exercise less, rarely socialize, get worse grades, and have lower self-esteem. In the most severe cases, they may even take their own lives.
Despite how common this addiction is, it is possible to overcome. The Smartphone Addiction Restriction is a guide for those who see the danger of the situation. We may not be able to quit using smartphones entirely, but with this tested and proven plan, we can limit their activity to the most essential uses.
In The Smartphone Addiction Restriction, you’ll learn:
And much more!
You can’t live life to the fullest while you’re staring at your phone. Even though smartphones are incredibly addictive, you—and your children—can break free of this dangerous habit. When you put down your phone, you’ll find yourself happier, more confident, energized, and actually smarter! On The Smartphone Addiction Restriction plan, you’ll cut your screen time down by 80% and possibly even further.
Take control of your smartphone instead of letting it take control of you. Scroll up and one-click The Smartphone Addiction Restriction today!

Maybe you’re ready to stop hiding behind black clothes and baggy jumpers

Now I know for many, gardening can be a little intimidating. How many times do you hear sad stories of people putting in a whole season's worth of work only to get a few disappointing patches of growth?
Our lives are insanely busy these days. So when you invest your precious free time and end up with nothing to show for it, it can get very disheartening.
In the end, we often find the errors responsible for ruining our harvest often fall to more minor decisions we missed or weren't aware of along the way. 'Nothing' choices that seem simple and easy to manage in the moment but will have a lasting effect throughout the whole season.
Yes, for some, gardening comes as a natural talent. For others, some research and self-education may go into the mix. But with a few practiced steps, it can become an easily repeatable process, and with that, anyone can create a fine small space garden.
Back yard… patio… deck… living room… kitchen…
Small space gardening is a constant exercise in creative design. Finding ways to fill in bare spots both inside and outside our homes with growth and color. But selecting various plants you can enjoy is as easy as shopping for clothes.
Getting them to a point where they will flourish year after year… that is where we can run into trouble. Many times over, people will buy beautiful flowers at the local nursery only to see them wilt away as they attempt to care for them.
Not for any lack of interest or effort, but simply because they took steps that weren't optimal for the plants' needs.
In this book, you will discover:
Gardens are a contradiction of nature. We bury seeds down in the dirt so they will grow up towards the sky. Plants that have evolved to ward off pests coexist in gardens with other varieties that intentionally draw bugs in.
Consider the growth of plants is a fairly automatic process. Yet frequently, we must keep these plants under observation to ensure they are protected from harsh environments, appropriately watered, and that there is guaranteed adequate sunlight.
Too often, I have heard from friends and family that gardening is too complicated or takes up too much of my time and effort.
And each time, I can't help but point out it is not difficult. It does not need to take a great deal of time and effort if you don't want it to. What it does take is the right effort.
Even if you can only spare 30 minutes a week, I know anyone can start a small, successful growing space. No design is too small to enjoy.
Start with a couple of pots or a wide planter on your windowsill. Become comfortable with the basics. After that, I'd be willing to bet you'll be thinking about your whole backyard for next season. Everyone is capable of becoming a successful home gardener.
