Ebury Publishing Dare I Say It
Book Synopsis'Naomi Watts has gathered stories of her experiences around menopause into a book that imparts the much-needed facts, from one woman to another. Thank you and brava!' GILLIAN ANDERSONHollywood star Naomi Watts opens up about the challenges she faced on reaching early menopause, providing a supportive, holistic guide based on the latest advice from hormone experts, doctors and nutritionists. At 36, Naomi Watts was at the height of her fame when suddenly she started experiencing symptoms she couldn't explain dry, itchy skin, raging hormones, night sweats leaving her lost and confused, only to learn that she was going through menopause. It is estimated that 13 million women in the UK are currently dealing with menopause symptoms, and yet the very word 'menopause' continues to be associated with stigma and confusion. With so little information, many women feel unprepared, uninformed and because of the varying ages it begins deeply alone when the time comes. This is the book Naomi Watts wishes she had when she first started experiencing symptoms. Like sitting down over coffee and having an intimate chat with the girls, Dare I Say It blends stories from Naomi and her friends with humour and expert advice, to take the stigma out of menopause and ageing. Answering questions such as: What's HRT and should I be on it? Will I ever sleep again? What happened to my libido? Do I need 18 serums for my ageing skin? Whose body is this anyway? Naomi Watts shares the most up-to-date learnings on how to manage menopause symptoms and tackle the physical and emotional challenges we encounter as we age. Irreverent, bold and funny, Dare I Say It is the companion every woman needs to inhabit the best version of themselves.

Atlantic Books The XX Brain: The Groundbreaking Science
Book SynopsisWomen are far more likely than men to suffer from anxiety, depression, migraines, brain injuries, strokes and Alzheimer's disease. But, until recently, scientific research has focused on 'bikini medicine,' assuming that women are essentially men with different reproductive organs.The XX Brain presents groundbreaking research showing that women's brains age distinctly from men's, due mostly to the decline of a key brain-protective hormone: estrogen. Taking on all aspects of women's health, including brain fog, memory lapses, depression, stress, insomnia, hormonal imbalances and the increased risk of dementia, Dr. Mosconi introduces cutting-edge, evidence-based methods for protecting the female brain, encompassing diet, stress reduction and sleep. She also examines the effectiveness of hormonal replacement therapy, addresses the perils of environmental toxins and explores the role of our microbiome. Luckily, it is never too late to take care of yourself.Trade ReviewA landmark new book every woman should read * Daily Mail *A beautifully written and reliable book that delivers a sharp wake-up call to the unique features of a woman's physiology that increase dementia risk....I can't wait for this book to reach the millions of women around the world who desperately need this information. -- Dr Rupy Aujla, author of THE DOCTOR'S KITCHENSo many of my patients in their 40s and 50s are scared by changes like forgetfulness, brain fog and anxiety.

This is a must read for all women to learn more about how to look after their brains. -- Dr Louise Newson, leading UK menopause specialistThis is it - the definitive guide to women's brain health! Dr Lisa Mosconi draws on her years of extensive research to provide you with a fully fledged road map to protecting your brain, no matter what age you are. Filled with straightforward, powerful advice that is easy to implement and promises to benefit not only your brain but your whole life, this is a must-read for all women. -- Catherine O’Keeffe, Menopause Advocate and CoachWomen's brains have unique risk factors for dementia that until now have been ignored by science. Lisa Mosconi's path-breaking work changes this paradigm to show women how they specifically can protect and enhance brain function throughout life. Essential reading! -- Max Lugavere, author of GENIUS FOODSDr. Mosconi boldly takes the question of what differentiates men from women away from just the reproductive organs and focuses on the unique characteristics of the female brain. And it is about time! When 2/3 of Alzheimer's patients are women, clearly a manifestation of the female brain's uniqueness, we must take notice.

Archive Publishing Her Blood Is Gold: Awakening to the Wisdom of
Book SynopsisIn the past few years there have been some gradual but perceptible changes in our collective attitude to menstruation, perhaps shown most obviously in television commercials and magazine advertising, which are less coy and more realistic and explicit in their portrayal of the menstruating woman. People seem less affronted by the subject matter than they were when the research for this book began. They are more willing to examine the possibility that in Western materialist culture our commonly held notions about the menstrual cycle have been infected by centuries of misogyny. The taboo about discussing menstruation still exists, but it appears to be gradually dissolving, along with other prejudices about the body and sexuality and gender. I hope that these subtle changes in attitudes to menstruation presage a greater shift in how we collectively value, affirm, and accept female experience. The relationship between menstruation and power is still held very much under the surface of mainstream awareness, and most cultural references to menstruation continue to be couched in the terminology of pathology. Reintegrating a truly feminist, woman-honoring perspective on menstruation means turning a whole system of thought upside down. It means saying that a cyclical change in feelings and body sensations is valuable and interesting; it means saying that the emotions women experience premenstrually carry useful information and should be paid attention to; it means acknowledging that a menstruating woman has access to sacred energy, and that if she wishes, she should have space and time to explore this dimension of experience. The ramifications of such a shift would be truly radical. For many reasons, including ecological and cultural survival, I believe the system of thought which has caused women to adapt to a non-cyclical reality needs to be turned upside down, for the good of us all. We menstruate more now than at any time in human history. Girls are starting to menstruate earlier due to protein-rich diets and hormones in food; women are less likely to die young; we have fewer children and therefore spend less time not menstruating. Increased work and family stresses, in addition to more periods, mean that women are more physically and psychologically vulnerable to negative attitudes to menstruation. So it is more important than ever that we investigate ways to make our periods physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy.Trade Review“I want to tell you how much your book on menstruation has meant to me… If I’d had it when I was thirty it would have saved me a lot of pain and confusion”. ; Scilla Elworthy, author of Power and Sex: A Book about Women. ; “Lara Owen’s well-researched, beautifully crafted and elegant book offers the reader a profound perspective on the role of menstruation in the life of women and society. It explores the physical, emotional, spiritual and practical dimensions of menstruation and provides a new and powerful view on this still taboo topic. Owen’s book is a classic and a must read for every woman and every man who wishes to understand this powerful part of feminine life. Her book changes lives. You will never look at menstruation in the same way again. Everyone should read this innovative, thoughtful and powerful book. A major contribution”. ; Gemma Summers, PhD, author of How to Get What You Want Without Losing It: A Woman’s Guide to Resolving Conflict. ; “Lara Owen presents a viewpoint on menstruation which is startling in its reversal of conventional attitudes. Her presentation is so lucid and convincing that after reading it one wonders how one could ever have regarded menstruation as a problem. This book is a must for any woman seeking wholeness. This is the rare kind of book that creates culture rather than merely commenting upon it. Lara Owen has sketched the outlines of a new social norm”. ; Steven Bratman M.D., author of The Alternative Medicine Sourcebook. ; “Like the wise-women whose memory she celebrates, Lara Owen is both scientist and poet. In this wonderful book, she shows how “the curse”, when ritually respected and restored to its ancient position, becomes every woman’s crock of gold”. ; Chris Knight, Professor of Anthropology, author of Blood Relations: Menstruation and the Origins of Culture. ; “This fascinating exploration into the rich underworld of the female body is a well-written, passionate and thoughtful plea for a return to body-consciousness and acceptance of what it is to be female”. ; Lyn Webster Wilde, author of On the Trail of the Women Warriors. ; “A gift for any women who is ready to increase her health and power.” ; Jean Mountaingrove, in Sagewoman ; “Her Blood is Gold is a seminal, thoughtful and enlightening book that explores this most deeply female experience and why it needs attention, gentle consideration and curiosity. Thank you to Lara Owen for her deep contemplation, her scholarship and her vision”. ; Jane Bennett, author of A Blessing Not A Curse: A mother daughter guide to the transition from girl to woman. ; “I felt like I was walking around on air for days after reading Her Blood Is Gold. It was like a veil had been lifted. Your sharp analysis of the cultural construction of our attitudes towards menstruation really opened my eyes to alternative possibilities and more attuned ways of relating to my body.” ; Laura Robson, The Body Literacy Collective, London ; “It’s been called everything from a “curse” to a “visiting aunt”, but Lara Owen says a woman’s period is a time when she can tap into her own inner wisdom. The book is written from a personal perspective and supported with medical, historical, political, cultural and spiritual viewpoints as well as interviews and anecdotes from women who have “awoken to the power of their own periods”. ; Chicago Tribune ; “An eye-opening examination of our historical and cultural attitudes. Owen helps women recognize the power of their periods, make the most of the pre-menstrual ‘altered state and heal the wounds inflicted by a patriarchal culture”. ; Moving Words ; “Menstruation has long been considered women’s dirty little secret, discussed only when missed…. Lara Owen explores the mysteries and spiritual significance of menstruation”. ; Elle magazine ; “Lara Owen’s book seeks to restore to this vital, natural function the dignity it lost in a patriarchal world that has portrayed it as dirty and threatening.” ; Gannett Suburban Newspapers ; “I highly recommend this book for Lara Owen’s ability to help us look with fresh eyes at a common feature of our lives”. ; Whole Earth Review ; “Owen does a real service here by bringing this issue out of the closet in the way she does. Graceful and very readable. I can’t recommend this book enough. Read it and then pass it on to your sister, your mother, your best friend”. ; Colleen Devlin, womenwriters.about.com ; “This is an extraordinary book that is difficult to put down”. ; Network for Optimal Aging and Wellness ;Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Preface to the 1998 edition Introduction PART ONE: BELIEFS & ATTITUDES 1: A Brief History of Bleeding: Menstruation in Western Culture 2: Moon, Blood, Earth & Snake: Eternal Archetypes of Menstruation 3: Sacred Power: The Beliefs of Menstrual-Positive Cultures PART TWO: RECLAIMING THE CYCLE 4: Healing the Wounded Woman 5: Menstrual Power and Menstrual Symptoms 6: The Sabbath of Women: Spirituality and Menstruation PART THREE: RITUALS & RECOMMENDATIONS 7: Conscious Menstruation: First Steps 8: Going Deeper: Rituals, Practices, and Meditations 9: Natural Remedies for Menstrual Symptoms PART FOUR: WAKING UP TO THE POWER – The Stories of Three Women 10: The Scientist – Wendy Alter 11: The Educator – Tamara Slayton 12: The Priestess – Hallie Iglehart Austen PART FIVE: LIVING YOUR POWER 13: Menstruation: Relationships to the Family 14: Bleeding with the World Notes Selected Bibliography

To say I was extremely sceptical before I made my 2018 menopause programme - The Truth About Menopause - is an understatement. As part of my research, I met five women who weren't able to take HRT, but suffered from debilitating hot flushes, which had devastating consequences on their quality of life. I watched them going through a CBT programme, at the end of which they had seen a dramatic reduction in hot flushes, and night sweats which affect mood and sleep. I sped from sceptic to full fangirl when the results were revealed. The transformation in this group of hitherto suffering women was extraordinary; they radiated contentment and confidence' - Mariella Frostrup, presenter, The Truth About Menopause, BBC 1'I have worked with the authors over a number of years to make CBT for menopausal symptoms available to women - through factsheets and other resources on the Women's Health Concern website. We have also worked together to provide tools for clinicians and training for health professionals via the British Menopause Society.

Book SynopsisThe Power Source shows how and why our pelvic floor is so important from a variety of different perspectives, ranging from purely physical body mechanics to how it impacts our nervous system to how it is the seat of all life force energy. Located at our root, all energy and strength flow up from the pelvic floor. Our pelvic floor determines how strong our core is, how we handle stress, and how much energy reaches the rest of our body. In other words, without addressing the health of our pelvic floor, we are all missing out on a powerful key component of our overall physical, emotional, and spiritual health.The Power Source offers a deep understanding of how to cultivate this strength in their bodies and in their lives by following a holistic, multi-sensory program that works from the pelvic floor up. Roxburgh demonstrates how it relates to the other areas of our body (or, as she calls them, "containers"), both physically and energetically.

Book SynopsisTrade Review“I feel a thousand times smarter after reading Menopause Bootcamp. Why does no one tell us?? As a woman approaching a certain age, I'm so grateful to Dr. Suzanne for demystifying and educating on this very natural process with her compassion and humor and experience. This book is so rich with important information that I can return to it for years to come.” — Rashida Jones, Grammy Award-winning actor, writer, and producer “Menopause Bootcamp is a remarkable feat. Gilberg-Lenz is a renowned MD, who combines medical wisdom with lifestyle wellness practices to improve women’s quality of life. Menopause is not the end; rather, it’s a metamorphosis of body and spirit. This phase in a woman’s life has been overlooked for far too many years. I’m delighted to encounter a paradigm shifting perspective from an open-minded, patient-first, radically honest leader in the field.” — Mark Hyman, MD, Director, the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine and New York Times bestselling author of The Pegan Diet “Menopause Bootcamp takes a fierce approach to this key life transition for women. Fueled by unapologetic anger at how menopause has been twisted and misunderstood by the patriarchy, this book not only gives women the truth about our bodies in middle-age, but helps us embrace our authenticity and wholeness as wise women." — Kristin Neff, Associate Professor, University of Texas at Austin, Author of Fierce Self-compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power and Thrive “No one ever told me about menopause. It was just a weird, ominous word that I suddenly became aware of when it started happening to me. I know we all wish our mothers had told us exactly how to deal with our periods, but I truly think we need them to prepare us for menopause. For those of you who are young now, do yourself a favor: read this and don’t be afraid. Knowledge is power. For those of you who are my age—who grew up with the shame, under the cloak and dagger of never talking about it—I present to you Dr. Suzanne’s book.” — Pamela Segall Adlon, Director/Producer/Writer "Accessible and down-to-earth, this will be a boon for women struggling with this time in their life." — Publishers Weekly
