STOP CHASING PAIN de Perry Nickelston

For anyone sick and tired of being sick and tired: A leading physician’s practical, proven guide to supporting and improving one of the body’s most vital functions—the lymphatic system—to alleviate and heal chronic pain and immune dysfunction.

STOP CHASING PAIN:
Reset Your Lymphatic System to Clear Inflammation, Break Chronic Pain, and Rebuild Your Health
by Dr. Perry Nickelston
Harper, June 2027

The lymphatic system is one of the body’s most overlooked yet essential systems. If it stopped working, we would be dead within a day and yet few people understand this vital system or how to keep it functioning optimally. Working in conjunction with the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, immune, and nervous systems, our lymphatic system plays a critical role in both physical and mental health. It helps rid the body of a whole host of antigens, many of them harmful: toxins, bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, proteins, cancer cells, and metabolic cellular waste. It also helps reduce swelling and inflammation, which contribute to many chronic diseases, and removes cellular waste resulting from injury. Stress, trauma, poor nutrition, environmental toxins, a sedentary lifestyle, and medications can also impair the lymphatic system. Which is why, when our lymphatic system becomes overwhelmed, overloaded, obstructed, or stagnant, we feel it at every level of our physical and emotional health.

After creating a protocol that helped him recover from a debilitating back injury and survive an autoimmune disease, Perry Nickelston dedicated his life to applying his unique self-care lymphatic approach to help others. In Stop Chasing Pain, he teaches us how to heal ourselves holistically by nurturing our lymphatic system to achieve ideal health and performance.

Following Dr. Nickelston’s cogent, achievable self-healing protocols, you can free yourself from chronic pain and illness.

STOP CHASING PAIN includes black-and-white illustrations throughout.

ONE (IMMUNE) SYSTEM TO RULE THE WORLD introduces readers to the most powerful, hyperintelligent system in your own body: the immune system. Rather than an an academic introduction or an attempt to compress decades of research and millions of peer reviewed articles, this book provides frameworks of thinking about the immune system: how the it functions inside of us and what happens when it goes wrong. In these pages you will find historical missteps, accidental discoveries, and the sheer tour-de-force of scientists, to provide both context and color for how the understanding of this ancient system has developed and where it’s going from here.

Dr. Matheu will cover:

• How seemingly unrelated diseases are linked, like how Graves’ Disease, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis are connected both to each other.
• The discovery of the immune system and how our understanding has developed from ancient China and Greece to the HIV/AIDS crisis and COVID-19.
• How the immune system and the brain operate similarly and differently, and how when they ‘talk’ to each other it can change our health.
• How viral infection can lead to cancer and how future immune system hacking might be done to preempt cancer.

Dr. Melanie Matheu is a PhD immunologist whose expertise is on the dynamic behavior of immune cells and the translation of human immunobiology into biotechnology platforms. She holds a PhD in Immunology from the University of California, Irvine, where she was one of the first pioneers using live cell high-resolution, laser-based imaging of a variety of immune cells in living tissues to elucidate how the immune system self-organizes and makes decisions as cells respond to inflammatory disease, cancer, and viral infection. She reaches over 765K followers across Substack, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.

PEAK de Vonda Wright

Lock in your strength, fertility, and resilience with this practical, science-forward playbook to a woman’s critical decade, from the New York Times bestselling author of Unbreakable.

PEAK:
A Woman’s Guide to Optimal Health in the Critical Decade

From ages 35 to 45—long before menopause, or even perimenopause, and long before “aging” decline is obvious—there is a decisive window when a woman’s muscle, bone, brain, cardiometabolic health, hormones, stress tolerance, fertility, and resilience quietly begin to erode.

But what no one is talking about is the unique biologic opportunity that this critical decade affords—with deliberate and specific efforts, women can shore up their present and future health and it’s never too late to start. After all, muscle, bone, and metabolism accrue like compound interest; what we build now pays dividends for decades and sets a healthy stage for later strength, recovery, and metabolic health. Packed with science-forward explanations and Dr. Vonda Wright’s trusted, straight-talking advice, Peak includes:

• Detailed explanation of why women in this decade need to lift heavy, recover deliberately, and integrate flexibility/mobility work to maintain tissue quality and hormone balance.
• How to take charge of fertility. It doesn’t suddenly drop—it slides.
• Stress, sleep loss, and nutrient deficiencies accelerate it.
• Why the first 10 months postpartum are a unique metabolic reset window shaping long-term body composition, insulin sensitivity, and cardiovascular risk.
• Systems that protect a woman’s emotional and physical healthspan, including Power Moves, Clinician Scripts, and a 30/60/90-Day Plan.

Motivating and optimistic, PEAK is the perimenopausal bible that will see women through this important time and into their very bright, healthy futures.

Dr. Vonda Wright is a double-board certified orthopedic surgeon and internationally recognized authority on active aging and mobility. The founding director of the Performance and Research Initiative for Masters Athletes (PRIMA), she also speaks worldwide and develops programs for optimizing performance and minimizing injury from the ball field to the boardroom. She has been featured or quoted in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, USA Today, and U.S. News & World Report. She lives with her husband, a retired NHL star, in Florida.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS d’Anna Chambers

Neuroscientist Dr. Anna Chambers takes us inside a state-of-the-art brain research laboratory, showing us how scientists unpack the biological secrets that make headlines and save lives.

In recent decades, neuroscience has revealed fascinating details about how the brain works in health and disease. But how do we know what we know?

In CIRCUIT BREAKERS, Harvard neuroscientist Dr. Anna Chambers pulls back the curtain to show us what happens in the modern brain research laboratory. Here, we learn how cutting-edge tools can manipulate memories, make neurons glow in the dark, and record signals at every level, from the whole brain to a single synapse. In the rapidly expanding field of neuroscience, unprecedented discoveries may be all in a day’s work. Through stories of the ‘science around the science’―all the daily problems a scientist must solve, like accessing a living brain encased in a skull, or figuring out how to coax unusual creatures like cuttlefish and bats into behaving naturally in a lab―Chambers invites us into spaces where few of us ever venture. 

CIRCUIT BREAKERS weaves down-to-earth explanations of futuristic tools, like human brain implants and laser-controlled neurons, with candid interviews and stories from her own often-grueling journey as a researcher. Throughout, Chambers tells the little-known stories of these discoveries with equal parts humor and wonder. Through sharing this fascinating―and sometimes downright strange― profession with the wider world, Circuit Breakers is deeply committed to inspiring young neuroscientists, improving scientific literacy, and dispelling the many myths about the brain, the ultimate “black box.”

Dr. Anna Chambers is a neuroscientist who conducts research on memory, sleep and hearing. She is an Instructor of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery at Harvard Medical School and a researcher in the Eaton-Peabody Laboratories at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Hospital in Boston. She studied neuroscience as an undergraduate at Johns Hopkins, received a Ph.D. from Harvard in 2015, and conducted postdoctoral fellowships in Germany and Norway. She lives in the Boston area with her husband and two sons. 

THE ATHLETE CODE de Joe Lemire

A debut nonfiction by a Sports Business Journal writer Joe Lemire, THE ATHLETE CODE explores the fast-changing world of tech- and data-driven athlete development and injury prevention, using vivid narrative and experiential journalism to chronicle humanity’s progress in these areas. For fans of The Sports Gene and Born To Run.

THE ATHLETE CODE:
Biohacking the Limits of Human Performance

From our Apple Watches to our Oura Rings, wearable tech is everywhere. But where is performance technology going? And with its help, how far can we push the human body?

THE ATHLETE CODE by Joe Lemire will explore these questions while taking readers on an enlightening journey of data and devices, breakthroughs and revelations, vivid anecdotes and memorable characters—and even his own admirable athletic efforts.

Athletes, coaches, and trainers have always tried to turn scientific breakthrough into on-the-field advantage. But historically that has happened by way of more effective equipment, better nutrition, and data that outsmarts conventional wisdom. Now, the fertile ground for a tech- and data-driven edge is in player development and injury prevention. And the sports tech industry is on the precipice of realizing the Holy Grail potential of two goals that long seemed mutually exclusive: performance and durability.

We are witnessing a golden era of sports performance, as new technologies are allowing athletes to reach unprecedented heights. These devices monitor, analyze and predict athlete form and performance in increasingly more precise and less invasive ways—and as a result, they help their subjects push the boundaries of what humans can achieve.

THE ATHLETE CODE will chronicle humanity’s progress in these areas, including:

• The data-driven development of the fittest man in world history.
• The implementation of the first real-time injury detection system capable of identifying muscle, ligament or tendon tears minutes before they happen.
• Insole sensors that can detect asymmetrical movement and advanced motion-capture analysis, both of which have been used by some of the world’s fastest sprinters.
• Bluetooth-connected EEG caps that enable athletes to play video games with their mind to train concentration and decision-making.
• Biomechanical analysis that helped turn a walk-on college baseball player into an ACC Pitcher of the Year, the No. 7 overall MLB draft pick, and a future ace.

Lemire will bring this reporting to life with absorbing stories (the remarkable tale of a professional baseball team’s injury-free season), dozens of exclusive interviews (including with Olympic gold medalists, world-renowned runners, and baseball Hall-of-Famers), and Plimptonian experiential journalism (he has used augmented reality glasses while running and AR goggles while swimming, exercised while wearing as many as four different sensors, and trained with a pocket-sized radar and a smartphone-based biomechanical analysis to raise his fastball to 82 mph.).

There is a strong history of readers devouring books about the intersection of sport and science, including David Epstein’s The Sports Gene and Range, James Nestor’s Breath, Jeff Passan’s The Arm, and Alex Hutchinson’s Endure. THE ATHLETE CODE will attract readers of those books; it will also be required reading for coaches and trainers across sports and levels of competition, as well as for weekend warrior athletes across the country.

Joe Lemire is a reporter for Sports Business Journal, and the country’s only devoted sports technology writer. He began his career with Sports Illustrated as an entry-level reporter, quickly ascending the ranks to become the youngest writer on the magazine’s masthead. He has contributed to the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and USA Today, and has appeared regularly on the MLB Network. He specializes in stories that distill complicated concepts into accessible ideas and blend objective research with engaging anecdotes for a thorough and compelling exploration of a topic.
