This timely guide to communication in patient-centered medicine argues for greater clarity in explaining health risks versus benefits of an array of screening tests, procedures, and drug regimens. It reviews the growing trend toward patients' involvement in their own care, particularly in terms of chronic conditions, and details approaches physicians can use to prepare patients (and themselves) for collaborative decision-making based on informed choices and clear, meaningful knowledge. Chapters apply this lens to a wide range of common interventions as contentious as estrogen replacement therapy and antibiotics, and as widely prescribed as the daily aspirin and the annual physical. With this goal in mind, the authors also introduce an innovative decision-making tool that translates risks and benefits into a clear graphic format for fewer chances of miscommunication or misunderstanding. Among the topics covered: Involving the patient in decision making. Towards a universal decision aid. BRCT: the Benefit/Risk Characterization Theater. Breast Cancer Screening—Mammograms. Prostate Cancer Screening. Colon cancer screening with colonoscopy. Screening for and treating dementia. Statins, cholesterol, and coronary heart disease. Physicians in family and internal medicine will find Interpreting Health Benefits and Risks: A Practical Guide to Facilitate Doctor- Patient Communication a valuable resource for communicating with patients and new possibilities for working toward their better health and health education. This book considers several common and important situations where faulty decision-making makes overtreatment a serious risk. Clear, fair, referenced, and useful information is provided. And a powerful intuitive technique is introduced which allows patient and doctor to talk as equals as they work together in the exam room. The authors emphasize that some patients who have been fully educated will still accept high risks of harm for a small chance of avoiding premature death. But as this book is accepted and its ideas and technique are extended, I feel sure that net harm to patients will be curtailed. And what is more, the integrity of the decision-making process will be improved. —Thomas Finucane, MD, Professor of Medicine, Division of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

Reverse and Prevent Type 2 Diabetes and Heart Disease Sharpen Cognitive Function and Avoid Memory Loss This book is a summary of “The Better Brain Solution: How to Start Now—at Any Age—to Reverse and Prevent Insulin Resistance of the Brain, Sharpen Cognitive Function, and Avoid Memory Loss,” by Steven Masley, M.D. We are facing two urgent epidemics today: increasing rates of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes and escalating rates of disabling memory loss. These two conditions are linked to a metabolic dysfunction called insulin resistance triggered by poor diet and lifestyle choices. The rates of type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease are escalating at epidemic proportions because of the insulin resistance brought on by the Standard American Diet. In The Better Brain Solution, Dr. Steven Masley explains why healthy insulin activity and blood sugar control are essential to brain health. He explores the impact of insulin resistance on the brain and the brain-blood sugar-heart connection. He explains (1) how the brain can become insulin resistant through diet and lifestyle, (2) how and why it can lead to cognitive decline and memory loss, and (3) how to prevent and reverse these conditions by following the Better Brain Solution, a step-by-step approach to reverse insulin resistance, prevent and reverse type 2 diabetes and heart disease, improve cognitive functions, and avoid memory loss. It’s never too late to improve your mental sharpness, prevent and even reverse type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and decrease your risk for memory loss.
