Neuroscience of the developing brain, translated for parents. The perfect companion to the Youth pillar’s brain-development domain — covers how gene expression interacts with parenting environment during the plastic years.
Molecular biologist John Medina distills the developmental neuroscience of the first five years into twelve concrete "brain rules" for pregnancy, infancy, and early childhood — covering attachment, praise, television, empathy, and moral development. Every rule is tied back to peer-reviewed research on how the developing brain actually wires itself.
The bestseller that turned the "first five years" developmental research into a practical playbook for expecting and new parents.
These peer-reviewed studies connect to the core ideas in this book. Each result has been scored for reliability.
The most accessible book specifically on MTHFR and the methylation cycle. Covers folate forms, homocysteine, and the B vitamin cofactors your body needs when the MTHFR enzyme runs at reduced efficiency.
Dr. Panda leads one of the world's top labs on time-restricted eating and circadian biology. His research on meal timing and metabolic health maps directly to what peer-reviewed studies have found for MTNR1B GG carriers — making when you eat as important as what you eat.
Covers the research on how specific nutrients — omega-3s, B vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins — affect brain and metabolic function. Directly relevant to FADS1 and BCMO1 variant research on nutrient conversion efficiency.
