Love Sex Again is an all-encompassing guide to women's sexual
health from Dr. Lauren Streicher, a cutting-ede Gynecologist, and a
regular on TheDr. Oz Show.
Ladies, what if one of America's leading sexual specialists and
Gynecologist told you that she knew your body better than you did?
What if she told you that she could fix the problems that are
making your sex life less than perfect? More than 100 million women
in America have problems in the bedroom, but don't have the courage
to ask their doctors for help. These problems don't come from
relationship issues, or the stresses of work and family. These are
real, physical issues that are getting in the way of a vibrant,
joyful sex life. Instead of getting the help they need, so many
women make a silent deal with themselves: without fanfare, without
discussion, they quietly give up on pleasure, or drastically
compromise their expectations where sex is concerned. Sometimes
women make this deal with themselves early on in their 20s or 30s;
for other women, it doesn't hit until their 40s, 50s or later. Most
women lack the vocabulary to talk about these issues with their
doctors, not to mention the pharmaceutical aids that are readily
available to men. But no longer.
Dr. Streicher will show women how to regain their libido,
determine what their issues are, and learn to fix whatever is
broken "down there." This much anticipated book will set women on a
path to discovering (or rediscovering) deeply pleasurable,
satisfying sex. She offers practical advice for real women of all
ages--from childbearing to post-menopausal, and explains what a
woman needs to know about her body, where she is in her life, and
her relationships, and how it connects to a satisfying sex
life.
In a book of importance to all women, expert authors provide an
authoritative rebuttal to the widely held belief that estrogen
therapy is the best treatment for perimenopausal women. In this
revealing work, a medical writer and an internationally known
physician team up to explain the controversy over prescribing
estrogen for perimenopausal women in the United States and to
detail why progesterone is actually a far more effective, and far
less risk-ridden, approach. Citing longstanding and emerging
research, patient vignettes, and personal experience,
endocrinologist Jerilynn Prior and writer Susan Baxter explain how
false beliefs about estrogen became entrenched in U.S. medicine and
culture-and how and why business and politics have played a role in
this erroneous thinking. Like most women in Europe now, Prior's
patients find progesterone the key to dealing with a lifecycle
transition that, contrary to Western medicine, these authors do not
see as a disease. Challenging medical orthodoxy, The Estrogen
Errors: Why Progesterone Is Better for Women's Health presents
arguments and evidence that women and their doctors, male and
female, will find compelling and useful.
Head Above Water takes us into a space of intimate conversations on
illness and society's stigmatization of disabled bodies. We are
invited in to ask the big questions about life, loss, and the place
of the other. The narrative builds a bridge that reminds us of our
common humanity and weaves the threads that tie us all together.
Through conversations about women's identities, bodies, and our
journeys through life, we arrive at a politics of love, survival,
and hope.
Everything you need to understand your body and treat your symptoms
during the perimenopause – backed up with the latest research.
As we understand more each day about what hormone changes mean for
women's long-term health, there is an urgent need for an evidence-based
book that helps us understand what is happening to us, so that we can
make informed decisions. Should you take HRT? How common is early
menopause? What causes brain fog? Can herbal supplements help?
Menopause is not just about hot flushes, and it isn't something to
"sail through" or pretend it isn't happening. Featuring the latest
research and backed up by informative infographics and illustrations,
The Science of Menopause tells you everything you need to know about
menopause is, the symptoms to watch out for, and the treatments that
may be able to help.
With humor and empathy, Dana Brantley-Sieders explores the science
and realities of breast cancer for the love of your boobs and your
life. Dana Brantley-Sieders spent twenty years working as a
biomedical breast cancer researcher. Then, she was diagnosed with
breast cancer. She thought she knew breast cancer before it whacked
her upside her left boob and left her bleeding on the curb of
uncertainty. Turns out, she had a lot to learn. This book shares
Brantley-Sieders' personal journey with breast cancer, from the
laboratory bench to her own bedside, and provides accessible
information about breast cancer biology for non-scientists. Talking
to My Tatas: All You Need to Know from a Breast Cancer Researcher
and Survivor, offers accurate, evidence-based science that is
accessible to all readers, including the more than three hundred
thousand individuals diagnosed with breast cancer every year, their
caregivers, and their loved ones. Knowledge is power, and lack of
it can lead to overtreatment, unnecessary pain and suffering, and
even death. By demystifying the process from mammograms, biopsies,
pathology, and diagnostics, to surgical options, tumor genomic
testing, and new treatment options, Brantley-Sieders aims to arm
breast cancer patients with the tools they need to battle this
disease with a healthy dose of humor, grace, and hope.
