Book excerpt: "A game-changing book uncovering the myths and taboos around menopause" -- The Guardian "[Davina is] a perfect advertisement for midlife, an inspiration to us all." -- Hello "A revolutionary book" -- Woman's Own Menopausing is more than a book; it is a lifeline. An uprising! For too long, women have had to keep quiet about the menopause - its onset, its symptoms, its treatments - and what it means for us. Menopause affects every woman, and yet so many of us approach it with fear, misinformation, or silence.

It is time to share, to learn, and to take control of our bodies and our lives. There's no such thing as too much information. Revised and updated to reflect the changes in the conversation around menopause and the treatments available, Menopausing New Edition explores and explains the science, debunks damaging myths that have held us back, and smashes all of the taboos related to perimenopause and menopause. No more scaremongering: just evidence-based info No shame: real women, real menopause stories, real empathy, real community Honest, no-holds-barred advice: Dry vagina? Zero sex drive? Hair loss?

Download or read book Pilgrimage written by J.F. Penn and published by The Creative Penn. This book was released on 2023-05-01 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pilgrimage attracts the seekers. Those with a question to answer, a problem to solve, a sin to atone for, an illness to be cured, a prayer to be answered. Pilgrims walk with a desire to make a change, to mark a boundary from one life to another, to heal, to escape. I needed all of these, and more. Perhaps you do, too. In mid-October 2020, I walked the Pilgrims’ Way from Southwark Cathedral in London to Canterbury Cathedral in Kent, England. The following year, in October 2021, as I recovered from COVID-19, I walked the St Cuthbert’s Way from Melrose in Scotland to Lindisfarne, Holy Island, on the north-east coast of England. In September 2022, I walked the Camino de Santiago along the coastal route from Porto, Portugal to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. These three solo pilgrimages helped me through a ‘dark wood’ in my life and changed how I see the way ahead. In this book, I share my lessons learned and insights from walking these ancient ways, as well as historical, religious and cultural aspects, and plenty of tips. There are also questions for you to consider around your own journey. Part 1 goes into practical and spiritual preparation before pilgrimage, including how to make decisions about the route and whether to walk solo, as well as what to take with you, and how to face the fears that might hold you back. Part 2 covers the journey itself with the practicalities of the pilgrim’s day, as well as how walking the path of history and facing the challenge of the way can give you much-needed perspective on life — and perhaps even a glimpse of the divine. Part 3 addresses the arrival at your destination, and how to leave room for the gifts of pilgrimage to emerge after your return home, as well as how my three walks impacted my experience of mid-life. At the end, you’ll find appendices with practical tips for each of the three ways, as well as a gear list and bibliography for further reading. I hope you find this book useful if you feel a call to pilgrimage, or a need for change in your life. These three walks have certainly been pivotal for me.

Download or read book Writing the Shadow written by Joanna Penn and published by The Creative Penn. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to connect with readers on a deeper level? Do you want your books to stand out in a sea of content by being authentic and personal in your writing whatever the genre? Are you interested in creative self-development? If yes, Writing the Shadow is for you. This is a book of my heart and it contains many personal stories — but this book is really about helping you reach readers with your words — and move to the next level in your writing. Because we all long to write boldly, without filters or fear. To spin stories that capture the messy beauty of what it means to be human. Tales that lay bare the truth of living — darkness and all. But something holds us back. Whispers of “Who do you think you are?” and “You don’t have permission to write that.” Our own self-censorship and the judgment of others keep us from writing freely — and sometimes, from living fully. But all great art taps into darkness, and your most compelling work emerges when you embrace your full humanity—both light and Shadow. In Writing the Shadow, I’ll guide you on an intimate journey to explore the darkness and discover the gold lying hidden in its depths. Gold that may be the source of your best creative work in the years ahead. The Shadow is calling. It’s time to turn your inner darkness into words. Part 1 goes into the various ways you can tap into your Shadow. Since it lies in the unconscious, you cannot approach it directly. You need tools to help reveal it in different ways. You will find ideas here — ranging from personality assessments and identifying Shadow personas to mining your own writing and exploring your true curiosity — as well as ways to protect yourself so you don’t get lost in the dark. Part 2 explores how the Shadow manifests in various aspects of our lives. I discuss the creative wound and how it may still be holding you back in your writing life, as well as aspects of traditional and self-publishing, then expand into work and money, family and relationships, religion and culture, the physical body and aging, death and dying. Part 3 explores ways that you can find the gold in your Shadow, and turn your inner darkness into words through self-acceptance, letting go of self-censorship, deepening character and theme in your work, and opening the doors to new parts of yourself. While the book is designed to be read in order, you can also skip directly to the sections that resonate the most. There are Resources and Questions at the end of every chapter that will help you reflect along the way. You can answer them in your own journal or use the Companion Workbook if you prefer to write in a more structured way.

Download or read book What Every Woman Needs to Know About Her Skin and Hair written by Mandy Leonhardt and published by Sheldon Press. This book was released on 2024-06-20 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The appearance of our skin and hair has a huge impact on our psychological wellbeing and confidence. Women feel pressure to have glowing, blemish-free skin, and thick, luscious hair at all times - in reality, our skin is a dynamic living organ which reacts to hormonal changes across the lifecycle, from puberty to the menopause. When our skin does not look healthy, and when our hair is thin or falling out, we want to understand why, and what we can do about it. We can spend large amounts on different creams and beauty products, or cover the problem with makeup, but ultimately the question most asked by women, and unanswered by skincare regimes, is 'could this be hormonal?' The answer is, of course, 'yes' - and if you read this book, you'll know exactly how and why. By giving you a better understanding of the relationship between your hormones, and common skin and hair problems, Dr Mandy Leonhardt will help you find lasting solutions whatever your issue. Whether you suffer with outbreaks, dry skin, sensitive skin, pigmentation or are concerned about the way your skin is aging in midlife, What Every Woman Needs to Know About Her Skin and Hair will provide you with the tools to find more holistic and effective solutions which don't just scratch (or moisturise) the surface, but which look at the root cause of the problem. Drawing on both the latest research and on her years of experience as a GP and specialist in women's health, Dr Leonhardt offers scientifically proven and practical advice to both understand and better manage the condition of your skin, hair and nails. She will explain which skincare principles (and types of product) are worthwhile, and which aren't; and how you can effectively connect the dots between your skin health and factors like nutrition and lifestyle. She gives clear advice on which non-medical treatments are worth pursuing (and, again, which aren't), and plenty of additional resources to help you find a cost-effective regime which takes both your hormonal stage in life and your bank balance into account.

Download or read book Sex Lies and Menopause written by T. S. Wiley and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A new hypothesis, post Women’s Health Initiative, that must be examined further by the entire scientific community.” —Allison Mayer-Oakes, M.D., M.S.P.H., F.A.C.P, founder of the Longevity Medical Center of Santa Barbara Turning thirty years of medical and cultural wisdom on its head, Sex, Lies, and Menopause challenges both the medical establishment and modern feminists to prove that menopause does not have to be deadly. In this revolutionary work—a landmark that signals the true beginning of feminist medicine—a doctor, a philosopher, and a scientist prove that by postponing marriage and motherhood, women have accelerated the aging process, resulting in earlier menopause and, ultimately for thousands, earlier death. In Sex, Lies, and Menopause, T. S. Wiley, Julie Taguchi, M.D., and Bent Formby, Ph.D., offer strong evidence that the use of synthetic hormones leads to cancer and advise women to turn to natural hormone-replacement therapy—derived from plants, not drugs—to help them elevate their estrogen level for greater energy, libido, and intellectual capacity. Provocative, empowering, and scientifically sound, Sex, Lies, and Menopause addresses the inherent benefits of natural progesterone, reveals the lies advanced by the medical and drug establishments, and challenges women to demand a medical future where their health comes first. The research presented in Sex, Lies, and Menopause will at last allow women to create their own plan of action to put themselves safely on the path to better health and hormonal balance at any stage of life.
