Book Menopause Free of Suffering  A Testimonial

Download or read book Menopause Free of Suffering A Testimonial written by Laure Goldbright and published by BUENOS BOOKS AMERICA LLC. This book was released on with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The women in my family have always had a lot of symptoms before, during, and after menopause. I didn't want to suffer like them and I decided to react. I questioned our Western beliefs about menopause and did some research to find out how I could avoid the usual menopause ailments. I was determined to have a happy menopause, without hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia, nervousness, depression, cellulite buildup, age spots on the face, and accelerated aging. And I achieved it! I realized that almost all the symptoms culturally attributed to menopause are actually due to other causes, which can be eliminated. In this book, I will explain how I performed my investigation; then I will share some important information so that you, too, can avoid the hardships our culture usually condemns women to with the outbreak of menopause. Even if you are already suffering from some so-called "menopausal symptoms," it's not too late to take action to live a happy and healthy menopause. This little book is easy to read, free of medical jargon, and considers the spiritual dimension of women.

Book Colon Cleansing and Its Benefits for Health and Skin  A Testimonial

Download or read book Colon Cleansing and Its Benefits for Health and Skin A Testimonial written by Laure Goldbright and published by BUENOS BOOKS AMERICA LLC. This book was released on with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In my forties I began suffering from very annoying bloating that disturbed my sleep. This trouble, which no allopathic or alternative medicine could help me solve, only got worse over time. My health deteriorated quickly and my face became covered with ugly brown age spots. Fortunately, five years after the outbreak of all these troubles, I finally learned about colon cleansing practices. Thanks to these practices, which have existed since the dawn of time but are increasingly ignored in the medical community, I was able to regain a flat stomach, a slim waist, peacefulness, good sleep, beautiful skin free of ugly brown spots, and the vitality and zest for life I had lost. I have been successfully practicing intestinal hygiene and colon cleansing for more than ten years. With this testimony you will know what intestinal hygiene is, how to practice it, and all the benefits you can expect from it for your digestion, the conditions of your skin and eyes, your weight, your pains, your premenstrual tensions, your mood and sleep disorders, and many other mild and serious health symptoms that inevitably result from the gradual cluttering of the colon.

Book Depression and How Your Dreams Can Help You Avoid It

Download or read book Depression and How Your Dreams Can Help You Avoid It written by Anna Mancini and published by BUENOS BOOKS AMERICA LLC. This book was released on with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of this book, we will examine the most common areas of loss and gain of life energy, before considering some examples of dreams that signal damage to this energy, which after a while, if nothing is done to change the situation, can trigger depression. We will conclude by opening new horizons through the presentation of some little-known, forgotten or once forbidden technologies, destined to recharge the human body with energy and therefore to act on the main cause of depression, that is, lack of energy in the body. For more than thirty years, I have observed the functioning of the human body at the junction between dream and reality. Dreams show that the number one goal of the subconscious and the body is the preservation of LIFE. Therefore, the body and the subconscious never fail to inform us of everything that harms it. They do this mainly through dreams but also through physical cues. Dreams always sound the alarm bell when we lose too much energy, and they often offer a solution long before it is too late to avoid depression. By observing your dreams, you will be able to get to know yourself better both psychologically and physically. You will be able to better manage your energy and stop wasting or losing it through ignorance. You will be able to understand how to make life choices which will allow you to almost always have enough energy at your disposal to remain mentally healthy and to enjoy an existence full of joy.

Book Unwell Women

  • Author : Elinor Cleghorn
  • Publisher : Penguin
  • Release : 2021-06-08
  • ISBN : 0593182960
  • Pages : 401 pages

Download or read book Unwell Women written by Elinor Cleghorn and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A trailblazing, conversation-starting history of women’s health—from the earliest medical ideas about women’s illnesses to hormones and autoimmune diseases—brought together in a fascinating sweeping narrative. Elinor Cleghorn became an unwell woman ten years ago. She was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease after a long period of being told her symptoms were anything from psychosomatic to a possible pregnancy. As Elinor learned to live with her unpredictable disease she turned to history for answers, and found an enraging legacy of suffering, mystification, and misdiagnosis. In Unwell Women, Elinor Cleghorn traces the almost unbelievable history of how medicine has failed women by treating their bodies as alien and other, often to perilous effect. The result is an authoritative and groundbreaking exploration of the relationship between women and medical practice, from the "wandering womb" of Ancient Greece to the rise of witch trials across Europe, and from the dawn of hysteria as a catchall for difficult-to-diagnose disorders to the first forays into autoimmunity and the shifting understanding of hormones, menstruation, menopause, and conditions like endometriosis. Packed with character studies and case histories of women who have suffered, challenged, and rewritten medical orthodoxy—and the men who controlled their fate—this is a revolutionary examination of the relationship between women, illness, and medicine. With these case histories, Elinor pays homage to the women who suffered so strides could be made, and shows how being unwell has become normalized in society and culture, where women have long been distrusted as reliable narrators of their own bodies and pain. But the time for real change is long overdue: answers reside in the body, in the testimonies of unwell women—and their lives depend on medicine learning to listen.

While the birth control pill is widely prescribed as a quick-fix solution to a variety of women’s health conditions, taking it can also result in other more serious and dangerous health consequences. Did you know that women on the pill are more likely to be prescribed an antidepressant? That they are at significantly increased risk for autoimmune disease, heart attack, thyroid and adrenal disorders, and even breast and cervical cancer? That the pill can even cause vaginal dryness, unexplained hair loss, flagging libido, extreme fatigue, and chronic infection. As if women didn’t have enough to worry about, that little pill we’re taking to manage our symptoms is only making things worse. Jolene Brighten, ND, author of the groundbreaking new book Beyond the Pill, specializes in treating women’s hormone imbalances caused by the pill and shares her proven 30-day program designed to reverse the myriad of symptoms women experience every day—whether you choose to stay on the pill or not.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • For women approaching or in menopause, a revolutionary diet and holistic lifestyle program for easier weight loss, better sleep, diminished hot flashes, a clearer head, and a rejuvenated sex drive. “Hormone balance is within reach, and this is the definitive guide for reaching that goal.”—David Perlmutter, MD, author of Grain Brain As women approach menopause, many start to experience the physical and emotional indignities of hormonal fluctuation: metabolic stall and weight gain, hot flashes and night sweats, insomnia, memory loss or brain fog, irritability, low libido, and painful sex. Too often, doctors tell us that these discomforts are to be expected and that we will have to wait them out during “the change”; some of us even agree to be unnecessarily medicated. But Dr. Anna Cabeca’s research and experience with thousands of her patients show that there is a fast-acting and nonpharmaceutical way to dramatically and permanently alleviate these symptoms. The Hormone Fix introduces Dr. Cabeca’s unique Keto-Green protocol, a plan that pairs the hallmarks of ketogenic (low-carb/high fat) eating with diet and lifestyle changes that bring the body’s cellular pH to a healthy alkaline level. The proven result: balanced cortisol and reduced output of insulin, the hormones most responsible for belly fat and weight gain, plus an increase in oxytocin, the “love and happiness” hormone. Whether you are perimenopausal, menopausal, or postmenopausal, The Hormone Fix offers an easy-to-follow program, including • a 10-day quick-start detox diet to jump-start weight loss and reduce symptoms immediately • daily meal plans and weekly shopping lists to take the guesswork out of a month’s worth of Keto-Green eating • 65 delicious and easy-to-make recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, smoothies, and soups • detailed information on vitamin and mineral supplementation that optimizes hormone balance • simple self-assessments and recommended optional lab testing for a better understanding of your hormonal status • tested and trusted stress-reduction and oxytocin-amplifying advice and techniques With The Hormone Fix you can expect to trim down, tap into new and unexpected energy levels, enhance intimacy, and completely revitalize your life! Ready for your fix? “The Hormone Fix is a treasure trove of accurate and user-friendly information that all women who are suffering during menopause need to know and apply.”—Christiane Northrup, MD, author of The Wisdom of Menopause

Download or read book Flash Count Diary written by Darcey Steinke and published by Sarah Crichton Books. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Many days I believe menopause is the new (if long overdue) frontier for the most compelling and necessary philosophy; Darcey Steinke is already there, blazing the way. This elegant, wise, fascinating, deeply moving book is an instant classic. I’m about to buy it for everyone I know.” —Maggie Nelson, author of The Argonauts A brave, brilliant, and unprecedented examination of menopause Menopause hit Darcey Steinke hard. First came hot flashes. Then insomnia. Then depression. As she struggled to express what was happening to her, she came up against a culture of silence. Throughout history, the natural physical transition of menopause has been viewed as something to deny, fear, and eradicate. Menstruation signals fertility and life, and childbirth is revered as the ultimate expression of womanhood. Menopause is seen as a harbinger of death. Some books Steinke found promoted hormone replacement therapy. Others encouraged acceptance. But Steinke longed to understand menopause in a more complex, spiritual, and intellectually engaged way. In Flash Count Diary, Steinke writes frankly about aspects of Menopause that have rarely been written about before. She explores the changing gender landscape that comes with reduced hormone levels, and lays bare the transformation of female desire and the realities of prejudice against older women. Weaving together her personal story with philosophy, science, art, and literature, Steinke reveals that in the seventeenth century, women who had hot flashes in front of others could be accused of being witches; that the model for Duchamp's famous Étant donnés was a post-reproductive woman; and that killer whales—one of the only other species on earth to undergo menopause—live long post-reproductive lives. Flash Count Diary, with its deep research, open play of ideas, and reverence for the female body, will change the way you think about menopause. It's a deeply feminist book—honest about the intimations of mortality that menopause brings while also arguing for the ascendancy, beauty, and power of the post-reproductive years.
