During a career spanning more than two decades of helping people conceive over 20,000 babies, Dr. Robert Kiltz learned that for most people, the most important thing in this universe is creating life. Yet, all too often he witnessed the sad truth that Western medicine doesn't work on its own. The failure of Western medicine drove Dr. Kiltz to integrate approaches to health and wellbeing that treat the whole person, body, mind, and spirit, eventually leading him to a radical discovery that revolutionized his practice: The foundation of our health and wellbeing, and therefore our fertility, is actually the food we eat. Since learning the simple, yet radical truth that our bodies and brains are designed to run most optimally on high-quality animal fats, and that we don't need any carbohydrates whatsoever, Dr. Kiltz has successfully recommended his version of the ketogenic diet to countless patients who had previously been unable to conceive even with the combined aid of Western and alternative medicines. He has witnessed the power of keto to bring new life into this world, and experienced it transform his own life and the lives of his patients, friends, and colleagues. Taking inspiration from these experiences, Dr. Kiltz created Fertile Feast as an essential guide to cultivating the life force unleashed by keto. Weaving keto with principles of mindful living, Fertile Feast presents keto as the root mantra of wellbeing. "There are people who refer to keto as a diet, but to me, keto is a way of life. Fertile Feast is about much more than just what you put into your mouth. It's also about what you put into your mind, how you treat your body, how you feel about yourself, and how you challenge yourself to be kind, creative, and to connect with others in deep, joyous, and meaningful ways. I became a doctor for one reason, and that's to help people. Fertile Feast is my guide for awakening the hidden powers of body and spirit, leading to emotional and physical healing, and a fertile life of inspiration, clarity, and joy." -Dr. Robert Kiltz About the Author Dr. Robert Kiltz is Founder and Director of CNY Fertility, ranked among the top ten fertility centers in the nation, with over 300 employees, and chapters in six locations including New York state, Atlanta, and Montreal.

Combining historical geography with historical demography, and conceived as a study in environmental history, this book examines the long-term relationship between population, economy and environment in the northern half of the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. Using a rich variety of Dutch historical sources, including VOC and missionary archives, it attempts to reconstruct and analyse patterns of demographic, economic and landscape change throughout this large and ecologically diverse region over a period of almost three and a half centuries. Particular attention is given to the articulation between demographic and economic growth, to levels and determinants of reproductive fertility, to changing disease environments, and to the question of agricultural sustainability and its preconditions. The results call into question some common views regarding the reasons for low population growth, and the relationship between population density and landscape change, in the Southeast Asian past.
