A practical workbook from the New York Times-bestselling author of Come
As You Are that will radically transform your sex life.
In Come As You Are, sex educator Dr Emily Nagoski revealed the true
story behind female sexuality, uncovering the little-known science of
what makes us tick and, more importantly, how and why.
Now, in The Come As You Are Workbook, she offers practical tips and
techniques that will help women to have the mind-blowing sex that they
deserve (and that men have been having all along).
This collection of worksheets, journaling prompts, illustrations, and
diagrams is an engaging companion for anyone who wants to further their
understanding of their own bodies and sexuality.
From certified health coach and founder of PCOS Diva, a large
online PCOS community, a proven 21-day diet and lifestyle plan to
help women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) take back control
of their health and resolve their symptoms. PCOS is one of the most
common hormonal disorders in women, affecting 1 in 5 of women in
the UK or roughly 3.5 million. It is the most common cause of
female infertility and symptoms such as weight loss resistance,
acne, mood swings, abnormal hair loss or growth, irregular
menstrual cycles, and more. Women are often misdiagnosed and
treated with "Band-Aid" pharmaceuticals that mask the root causes
and introduce a slew of side effects. There is no magic pill or a
onetime fix-all solution, but Healing PCOS shows women how to
control their symptoms naturally with an anti-inflammatory and
hormone-balancing diet, daily movement, and stress-reducing
self-care. Grounded in the latest medical research and everything
Amy has learned through her own journey with PCOS-and everything
her fans love about her programs-Healing PCOS offers women small,
manageable steps that help reduce their symptoms and tame the three
underlying factors of PCOS: inflammation, hormonal imbalance, and
insulin resistance. This program is a complete guide for those
recently diagnosed and a revolutionary call-to-action for those who
have struggled with PCOS for years, including: A 21-day
anti-inflammatory, hormone-balancing and gluten-free meal plan,
including meal prep and plan-ahead tips to make eating this way
simple and fast 85 delicious recipes (half are original to the
book) Daily self-care, including meditation and journaling prompts
Amy Medling has helped hundreds of thousands of women with PCOS
take back control of their health and their lives through lasting,
healing, and sustainable lifestyle change. Now, with Healing PCOS,
she brings her innovative program to a wider audience.
Depression is one of the UK's leading causes of disability. One in
four women in their 40s are prescribed antidepressant drugs BUT
depression is a sign of malfunction of the body - not in the brain
and it can be treated with simple lifestyle interventions. The UK's
mental well-being is in a state of crisis - psychiatric drugs are
overprescribed and the causes of depression and anxiety
oversimplified as a genetic and brain malfunction. This book
debunks the myths and sets out a natural cure for depression,
proving that low serotonin levels are not the primary cause of
depression, but that inflammation is the root cause and this can be
treated by way of lifestyle changes. The book explores the truth
about depression, including the latest science and how our genes
express themselves through the food choices we make, as well as Dr
Brogan's four-week plan with menus. Written in a lively style and
laced with compelling scientific proof, this groundbreaking book
proves that symptoms of depression are often markers of an
underlying problem originating outside the brain which can be
effectively treated without pharmaceuticals.
