It's been more than a decade since Dr. Jonathan Wright introduced
the concept of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)
with the book Natural Hormone Replacement for Women Over 45 (Wright
JVW, Morgenthaler J. Smart Publications, 1997), at a time when only
a handful of clear thinking, knowledgeable doctors had ever heard
about bio-identical hormones. In their new updated book, /Stay
Young & Sexy with Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement: The
Science Explained/, authors Wright and Lenard have brought to light
many examples of forgotten or ignored scientific studies combined
with up-to-date clinical experience that provide solid support for
the safety and benefits of BHRT.

In "A Woman's Guide to Pelvic Health" a urologist and a physical
therapist offer expert and reassuring advice to women. For example,
one of every four women suffers from urinary incontinence, the
involuntary leakage of urine. Elizabeth E. Houser and Stephanie
Riley Hahn want these women to know that they do not have to cope
in silence with this embarrassing problem, limit their lifestyle,
or spend thousands of dollars on adult diapers.
Symptoms involving the pelvic floor, including urinary
incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and decreased sexual
sensation, can occur at any age. A wide range of treatments, such
as targeted exercises, nutrition, and acupuncture, as well as
medications and surgical approaches, can bring relief. Case studies
and illustrations help readers explore the cause of their own
symptoms and how treatments work. "A Woman's Guide to Pelvic
Health" encourages women to address their pelvic floor issues and
reclaim their lives.
Period positivity starts with asking questions. This informative,
irreverent, and absorbing book covers all your period-related
questions - why they're taboo (and needn't be) and how to navigate

of the month! This science-backed menstruation book is full of good
advice and friendly tips to give you the tools to re-frame your
thinking and learn to love your cycle. This frank, funny, and
fascinating menstruation guide from Period Positive movement
founder and menstrual researcher, Chella Quint's offers: - A
practical, science-backed guide to your period with arresting
infographics, and anatomical diagrams - Answers to all your
period-related questions, exploring topics like the functions and
effects of hormones, when periods "normal" or "abnormal," hormonal
birth control, sex, fertility, pregnancy - Explanations of common
female health conditions such as PCOS and endometriosis Light or
heavy, early or late, painful or painfully bad timing - periods can

format, Be Period Positive provides practical advice on managing

A proactive and comprehensive resource that answers every question
about fertility health and helps women understand and preserve
their fertility options. Does stress affect your fertility? Should
you avoid materials made with plastic? How does diet affect your
chance of conception? Does acupuncture increase your chances? How
old is too old? In The Whole Life Fertility Plan, Kyra Phillips and
Dr. Jamie Grifo answer all your pressing questions about fertility
health-and address things you didn't even know to ask-whether
you're planning to wait to have kids or are starting the process
now. Phillips spent her 20s and 30s building her career, and wasn't
ready to start a family until she turned 40. She met with Dr.
Grifo, the director at the renowned NYU Fertility Health Center,
and after an uphill (but ultimately successful) battle on the road
to conception, she learned that there were a number of
things-simple things-she could have been doing differently over the
years. For too long, women have believed that when it comes to
their fertility, their bodies will cooperate when the time is
right. But fertility is not unlike heart health; it's important to
be proactive. As women are becoming increasingly aware of their
fertility health and waiting longer to have children, they are
starting to take control of their fertility long before they are
ready to start trying. Whether you're in your 20s, 30s or 40s, and
want to start a family now or down the line, don't leave it up to
chance-educate yourself about what affects your fertility.
If you're reading this, chances are you are planning (or have
already begun) to breastfeed. Why do you need this book? First,
you'll find tips and insights that can simplify your life and make
the process less confusing. Second, despite the glut of information
available, without some inside knowledge, you're unlikely to meet
your breastfeeding goals. I chose this book's content to help you
avoid the experience of most women. A 2012 study found that two
thirds of American mothers who wanted to exclusively breastfeed for
three months didn't (Perrine, Scanlon, Li, Odom, &
Grummer-Strawn, 2012). Employed mothers-especially those working
full time-are even less likely to reach their breastfeeding targets
than other mothers (Ogbuanu, Glover, Probst, Hussey, & Liu,
2011). In every developed country around the world, breastfeeding
rates drop quickly after birth. Even in areas where new mothers
receive many months of paid maternity leave, such as the U.K.,
breastfeeding rates plummet during the early weeks. But before I
say more about the challenges and how this book can help you avoid
and overcome them, I'd like to share with you the latest on why
breastfeeding matters so much to you and your baby. Table of

This book outlines symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction, and shows
you how to fix them. What is pelvic organ prolapse - which 50% of
women will experience - and can it be prevented? Urinary
incontinence is treatable with physio. Women on average suffer
symptoms for 7 years before going to a healthcare professional
which has a huge effect on mental health. Pelvic floor issues are
often only talked about in relation to pregnancy and childbirth.
This is not just a "mum issue": high impact exercise (running,
HIIT, CrossFit) affect the pelvic floor. Young athletes/gymnasts
who have never had children are highly likely to suffer from
incontinence. Women should not accept dysfunction as a "normal part
of being a woman", but instead need to prioritize their pelvic
floor health - this book shows that it is never too early and,
crucially, never too late to do so.

Honest, heartrending and full of humour, this is an extraordinary
memoir about an unconventional childhood and the absurdities of the
cancer experience. It is also, most importantly, a celebration of
life. When Genevieve Fox finds a lump in her throat, she turns up
for the hospital diagnosis in a party frock. I can't have cancer,
she thinks. I've done my hair. But there is another reason she
can't countenance cancer. She was orphaned by it at the age of
nine. Fox's story weaves together past and present as she recalls
her rackety, unconventional childhood, while also facing the
spectre of being lost to her young boys. Yet she confronts her
treatment with the same sassy survival instinct that characterised
her childhood misadventures. She takes life's precariousness and
turns it on its head. 'Life-enhancing... Original and wonderful'
