Night sweats, hot flushes, anxiety, insomnia, exhaustion, itchy
skin, low libido, painful sex ... Any of these sound familiar?
Ninety per cent of women experience these symptoms some time
between the ages of 40 and 60, but shhhhhhh ... just suck it up,
princess. And nobody mention the M word. Menopause and
perimenopause (the hormonal rollercoaster years leading up to a
woman's last period) are among our last taboo subjects. Hormone
Replacement Therapy (HRT) - once widely prescribed as the magical
secret of youth - has been shunned by women and their doctors for
two decades. Dr Ginni Mansberg, one of Australia's most trusted
health and wellbeing experts, is here to work through the evidence
and bust the taboos out of the water. The M Word is all about you
and your choices. Are you being offered the best solutions for your
menopause issues? Because there are great solutions to help you
thrive in this new stage of life. What happens to your body once
key hormones begin to diminish? What are the pros and cons of HRT?
Which home remedies are worth a shot, and which are snake oil?
Plus, how can you shift that menopause weight gain, what's best for
your changing skin, how can you exercise your brain (move over,
Sudoku) and why are you so bloody itchy all the time? All of this
and more is delivered with Dr Ginni's no-nonsense humour and backed
up with evidence-based facts and personal anecdotes to help women
make informed choices.
The evidence is clear - almost half of all cases of dementia and
cognitive decline are preventable. But sadly none are treatable. So
what are the lifestyle changes that really make a difference to our
brain health? What do the experts do to protect themselves from
cognitive decline? And what can we do right now to preserve our
quality of life as we age? Save Your Brain answers all these
questions and more. As we age, dementia and Alzheimer's pose a
serious threat to our health and wellbeing. To give us a running
start in the fight against cognitive decline, GP and acclaimed
broadcaster Dr Ginni Mansberg presents the very latest
evidence-based research on how to protect your most valuable asset
- your clever, vulnerable, powerful brain. As the health of our
brains increasingly takes centre stage, Ginni gives
up-to-the-minute advice and strategies you can implement now to
protect your brain as you age. A must-read for anyone looking to
maintain their quality of life, or that of loved ones, into old
age.
Why are today's parents feeling like failures, worried that their
teens will 'go off the rails', won't get through school, won't find
a job or will be overwhelmed by stress? With so many experts out
there offering conflicting advice, how do parents know where to
turn and who to trust? As both clinicians and parents, Dr Ginni
Mansberg and clinical psychologist Jo Lamble know first-hand how
challenging it can be to raise adolescents. In THE NEW TEEN AGE,
they team up to address both the physical and psychological issues
faced by teens in this new age of social media and 24-hour devices,
equipping parents and carers with sound strategies for navigating
everything from parent-child tensions and peer pressure online and
in the schoolyard to questions around food, sleep, exercise,
screentime, body image, hormones, sexual development, skin,
academic pressure and so much more. Packed with empathy and
no-nonsense advice, THE NEW TEEN AGE is a comprehensive guide to
raising happy, healthy humans in our rapidly changing world. "Being
a parent of a teenager can be daunting. How do we help them
navigate the modern world while keeping them safe and happy? Their
physical and psychological changes throw up a while range of issues
that we aren't always equipped to handle. Here, finally, is a
practical and direct guide for parents that covers the lot.
