If Your Mouth Could Talk: An In-Depth Guide to Oral Health and Its Impact on Your Entire Life by Dr. Kami Hoss

Winner
Health: General
2022 Best Book Awards

You’ve heard the advice: If you want to live longer, eat healthy foods and exercise daily. But there’s a third piece of the puzzle, and it can add 10 to 15 years to your life.

It’s been right under your nose this whole time—literally.

Your mouth is the gateway to your body and is the most critical organ for improving your health, from childhood onward. Everything in the human life cycle is related to the mouth: fertility, childbirth, sleeping soundly, success in school, finding a mate, getting a job, psychological well-being, avoiding chronic or systemic disease, and aging well. Your mouth is a window into the health of your body as a whole; from its microbiome to its structure, it impacts your physical and mental wellness in countless ways.

Unfortunately, the mouth-body connection has been largely neglected by American medicine . . . until now.

2022 Best Book Awards

There are over 460 million people on the planet living with diabetes. Many of us are diagnosed young and raised within a rigid healthcare system based on blood tests, food rules, and fear.

In a world filled with countless temptations, what do you do when you feel hopeless, when no one is listening, or when the act of improving your health seems impossible?

You do the only thing left that doesn’t require a prescription:

You take over.

Love, Only Better by Paulette Stout

Winner
Health: Women's Health
2022 Best Book Awards

Meet Rebecca, an adorable gal with an intimate secret…

For Rebecca, sex is a joke missing a punchline. No crashing waves. Only pangs of inadequacy. At twenty-eight, shouldn’t she have had one by now? Her snickering ex thought so. His taunts echo in her ears as he rolls out of her bed. Then out of her life.

After enrolling in an unconventional study for women, Rebecca is stunned by the power she holds inside. But her promise to avoid intimacy hits a snag when a handsome neighbor moves across the hall. Their chemistry is electric, but the timing couldn’t be worse!

If he learns her secret, she’ll lose her best chance at love. But if her intimacy lessons fail, she’ll be left eternally broken. Unlovable.

Can Rebecca find the answers she needs to love someone new—and finally love herself?
