It's time to throw away the diet book and start living intuitively.
In our increasingly busy world, how to be healthy has become more
and more confusing and our relationship with food is ever-changing
and often complex. We're bombarded with so many messages that it's
causing a disconnect between us and what true health really is: a
connection to our body's innate wisdom. In other words, our
intuition. This six-week guide introduces the concept that by using
our intuition, we can become experts on ourselves and, in turn,
learn how to best navigate our own health and happiness. Each week
is broken down into steps, giving you the tools and techniques to
make the right food and health choices for you. Through celebrating
food, encouraging kindness and embracing a positive body image,
Holistic Nutritionist and Life Coach, Pandoma Paloma takes you on a
journey to reconnect with your body and transform your life.
The ultimate holistic fitness guide for new mums, including a
gentle 12-week Baby Steps Body Plan, 75 nutritious and simple
recipes, and tips on self-care. 'I assure you that the phrase
"snapping back" does not appear within these pages in anything
other than an angry way! Instead, this is a "feel stronger,
healthier and more confident" plan.' The Ultimate Body Plan for New
Mums is the second fitness and recipe book from actress, presenter
and fitness guru Gemma Atkinson. Based on her own experiences,
Gemma wants to help other new mums ease their way back into
exercise and nourish themselves with the right kinds of food. This
is not about weight loss or dieting, or unachievable workout
routines. Instead, it's a book that keeps things real, with a focus
on safe post-natal exercises that have been divided into those you
can do at home and those you can use to build your confidence when
returning to the gym. These exercises form the 12-week Baby Steps
Body Plan, which can be started six weeks after giving birth. Along
with 75 nutritious and simple recipes, perfect for fitting around a
newborn baby's routine, the book will also include self-care advice
for being kind to yourself during those early weeks and months of
getting used to being a new mum. Gemma will share her own
experiences of giving birth and caring for her new baby, including
the impact on both her body and her mental health. Crucially, she
didn't put herself under any pressure to lose weight or to follow a
diet regime after giving birth to her daughter; instead, she gave
herself time to find her way back to herself, through carefully
structured post-natal fitness routines and eating well - and now
she wants to help other new mums to do the same. Alongside the
recipes and fitness plan, Gemma will also share the secrets behind
her seemingly boundless energy and positivity!
Sick of Being Sick helps women radically transform their health by
showing them how to tap into their innate healing power and begin
experiencing lives full of well-being, connection, peace, and joy.
Chronic illness - whether it is due to cancer, autoimmune disease,
or a slew of mysterious symptoms - cuts to the core of a woman's
being. Women who are struggling with chronic illness are familiar
with the fear, doubt, and overwhelm that can cost them everything.
Sick of Being Sick shows women how to move beyond the prison of
chronic illness and persistence of health challenges. Dr. Brenda
Walding reveals the essential elements to healing, as well as
powerful tools, tips, concepts, and daily practices that are
essential for radiant health. She teaches women how to overcome
overwhelm and fear to make decisions for their highest good, how
toxic thoughts and poisonous practices are massively sabotaging
their healing efforts, and so much more. For the women who are
ready to begin their journey to wellness then Sick of Being Sick is
their portal of transformation and opportunity to bring them back
to their heart, to love themselves again, and to experience
wholeness.
Menopause hit Darcey Steinke hard. First came hot flushes. Then
insomnia. Then depression. As she struggled to understand what was
happening to her, she slammed up against a culture of silence and
sexism. Some promoted hormone replacement therapy, others
encouraged acceptance, but there was little that offered a path to
understanding menopause in an engaged way. Flash Count Diary is a
powerful exploration into aspects of menopause that have rarely
been written about. It is a deeply feminist book, honest about the
intimations of mortality that menopause signals but also an
argument for the ascendency, beauty and power of the
post-reproductive years in women's lives.
A female-centric keto diet and jumpstart plan Have you tried going
keto and found that it has made you feel worse rather than better?
Does keto seem to make sense in theory yet somehow fails to work as
promised? But what if it's not just you? What if keto as we know it
simply fails to encompass the needs of the female body? Naomi
Whittel, the New York Times bestselling author of Glow15, explores
how the problem isn't keto, it's fibre. Ninety per cent of women
are fibre deficient, and when women go down the standard keto
route, they often lean into animal-based, high-fat, zero-fibre
foods, leading to low energy, brain fog, and unnecessary weight
gain. Whittel explores the fruits, vegetables, and prebiotic fibre
sources that work within a keto framework to: - transform your
metabolism - enhance your microbiome - balance your hormones - keep
you satiated Whittel's 22-day plan includes delicious, easy-to-make
recipes that combine both the nutrients and flavour you need to
make a sustainable change, plus a day-by-day movement framework you
can tailor to your own needs. With its encouraging and supportive
tone, and the foundational science and research to back it up, High
Fibre Keto provides the means to get on track with keto and for
keto to get on track with you. "For women seeking sustainable
weight loss, balanced hormones, and increased energy, this is the
book for you!" - Kellyann Petrucci, M.S., N.D., New York Times
bestselling author of Dr. Kellyann's Bone Broth Diet
Written by experienced counsellor Claire Hall and fertility expert
Dr Devora Lieberman, EMPOWERED FERTILITY is a practical guide for
women to help them cope with their psychological wellbeing, their
emotions, family and friends and their attitudes during a very
difficult time. It contains clearly structured and expressed
information and offers women practical steps to assist them as they
go through the processes of treatment for infertility. Each section
of the book gives the reader information and support to address
physical, psychological, emotional and social challenges that can
arise when dealing with infertility and also with IVF treatment.
Subjects include managing expectations, dealing with fear,
releasing control and handling changes in relationships. The reader
can work through at their own pace, making use of the coaching
tools and exercises to help with each step. For readers who are
starting or in the midst of IVF treatment, the last section of the
book forms an IVF Cycle Handbook, to guide women through their
experience.
Menopause is a natural process and not a disease. This book will
help dissipate all apprehensions about menopause. It focuses on the
basic facts of menopause, the management of some of its troublesome
symptoms and its effect on the various other organs and systems of
the body. There are also tips given to deal with several health
problems that may ensue after menopause.
The Abortion Papers is a unique edited collection that provides key
reflections and scholarship on the Irish abortion regime generated
in the period between the 1992 X case, the death of Savita
Halappanavar in 2012 and the subsequent introduction in 2013 of
limited abortion legislation. The ideas generated in the volume
come from the different but complementary perspectives of activism
and scholarship. The collection includes the voices of Irish women
who have had abortions, something largely absent within Ireland's
abortion debate. Taken as a whole the volume offers new conceptual
and theoretical insights into the abortion debate by providing an
original perspective on the Ireland's abortion regime. The
collection is intended to offer a valuable resource for those
currently advancing legal and social change in order to offer women
living in Ireland, North and South access to abortion on the island
of Ireland. For those interested in the abortion debate more
broadly, it will offer a unique overview of the debate in both a
national and international context.

For decades, women have been told that mammograms save lives. Yet
many scientists say that this is in fact not true. This book
reveals how breast cancer screening was introduced in the US before
there was any good evidence it made any difference, and an
unfounded belief in early detection caught on quickly in Canada and
other developed countries. Today the evidence is starkly clear.
Screening does more harm than good. Still women, and their doctors,
continue to buy into a myth perpetuated by greed, fear, and wishful
thinking. The book illustrates how a vortex of interests came
together to make breast screening standard medical practice and why
it's so hard to persuade them they are wrong. The radiologists, the
imaging machinery manufacturers, and the pink ribbon charities are
all part of that story. It is a tale of back-stabbing and intrigue,
of exploiting fear and hope, while distorting and misrepresenting
the evidence. Or simply ignoring it.

On the precipice of starting her adult life, aged eighteen, Sophie,
a rebellious and incorrigible wild child, crashed her car and was
instantly paralysed from the chest down. Rushed to hospital,
everything she had dreamed for her life was instantly forgotten and
her journey to rediscover herself and build a different life began.
But being told she would never walk again would come to be the
least of her concerns. Over the next eighteen years, as she strived
to come to terms with the change in her body, her relationships
were put to the test; she has had to learn to cope with the many
unexpected and unpredictable setbacks of living with paralysis; she
has had to overcome her own and other people's perceptions of
disability and explore the limits of her abilities, all whilst
searching for love, acceptance, meaning, identity, and purpose.
Driving Forwards is a remarkable and powerful memoir, detailing
Sophie's life-changing injury, her recovery, and her life since.
Strikingly honest, her story is unusual and yet relatable,
inspiring us to see how adversity can be channelled into
opportunity and how ongoing resilience can ultimately lead to
empowerment.
MUM. FEMINIST. SIZE 26. SUPERMODEL. LOUD. PROUD. BODY ACTIVIST.
BEAUTIFUL. BUSINESS WOMAN. HOMEMAKER. CAT OWNER. FUNNY. OUTSPOKEN.
WIFE. DAUGHTER. LOVER. FIGHTER. SURVIVOR. Tess Holliday is many
things and perfect is not one of them. But she loves her
imperfections - after all they've formed the woman she is today.
Tess's number one rule in life is to love yourself - no matter who
you are, where you come from, what your faults may be and what
dress size you wear. It's this discovery that has helped her
through everything from a difficult childhood, being abused and
bullied about her weight, to fending off social media trolls. Now
here in this amusingly candid account, the woman at the forefront
of the body positive movement, who has been credited with
transforming the fashion industry, explains why you should be happy
to make mistakes but learn from them, love your imperfections and
be comfortable in your own skin - no matter how much you have!
This is a story of midlife reinvention, of friendships,
relationships and a working life all put to the test by the seismic
effects of menopause. But it is also a story of love and
homecoming. It is about the healing power of walking in nature, the
therapeutic process of writing and one woman's determination to
redefine what success and happiness look like. Living the dream
isn't all she hoped it would be when Lisa swaps a high-flying job
in London for a freelance life as a writer, editor and yoga teacher
by the sea in India. She struggles to control the tide of emotions
that hit her as the red mists of menopause descend and she begins
to question whether her new life - and her relationship with a much
younger man - are all she hoped they would be. When the pandemic
hits, Lisa decides that the universe has made the decision for her
and back in England, she falls for the charms of a man her own age.
However, he is not who he appears to be. Neither are the friends
she'd hoped would support her when she publishes her first book and
releases her 'dark horses' for all the world to see. After
travelling back to her homeland in Wales and reconnecting with 'The
Most Handsome Man in Goa' in India, Lisa is forced to confront her
dark horses alone when her health and hormones threaten to derail
the happiness she's learned to live for.
