A graduate of University of Michigan and Case Western Reserve University, Ray Armat, Ph.D., is a polymath (farmer, materials scientist, chemical engineer, former NASA grantee) with years of interdisciplinary teaching and research experience in balancing industrial product formulas. Once he realized his own body and mind were imbalanced, he walked away from a lucrative corporate career to learn more about the feedback loops connecting the human brain and body, habits, behaviors and diseases. What he has found and shared in this book is essential knowledge needed to maintain mental and physical health but often not taught in high schools and colleges. As a humble philosopher scientist, storyteller, farmer and educator, he uses simple language to explain how our body and brain communicate, and how certain neurochemical soups make our brains prone to metabolic imbalance, self-delusion, addictions and bad habits.
