The Female Body Blueprint

Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
Hormones Gone Haywire? There is a crisis in women's health today. The average age for puberty has dropped abruptly to 10 years of age. Endometriosis, one of the top three causes of female infertility, affects more than 5.5 million women. 75% of all women suffer with some premenstrual syndrome symptoms. 80% of all women have uterine fibroids (which lead to 170,000-300,000 hysterectomies annually). And dysmenorrhea-menstrual pain that interferes with day-to-day activities-affects approximately 40-70% of women of reproductive age. If you've visited your doctor for any of these reasons, it's likely you've been given birth control pills to "even things out" or hormone replacement therapy. But is this really a solution? The Solution Isn't More Birth Control Pills It's likely that hormonal treatments will only mask the symptoms, if not make things worse. So what is the solution? Is PMS to be normal and expected every month? Is infertility unable to be treated without invasive therapies? Are hot flashes simply a symptom of getting older? Luckily, the answer is no to all of these questions. There is a solution, and it doesn't involve drugs or invasive therapies. The solution lies in hormonal balance. A Total System for Female Health "The Female Body Blueprint" by Josh and Jeanne Rubin takes the complex subject of hormonal balance and breaks it down into easy to digest information and action steps. By naturally decreasing the amount of estrogen in your body, increasing the amount of progesterone, and healing your metabolism, you'll be well on your way to hormonal health at any age. Get back in balance by learning how to eat, sleep, exercise, and de-stress. They don't teach this stuff in school...or likely in your doctor's office. But these are the vital foundations that will make this women's health crisis a thing of the past. Follow this blueprint and take back control of your health once and for all.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER • #1 GLOBE AND MAIL BESTSELLER • USA TODAY BESTSELLER You are not broken. Being a woman is not a diagnosis. Take your body back with the groundbreaking new science for women in Hormone Intelligence. Hormonal. We all know what it means when we hear it – and feel it. While hormonal shifts are natural throughout women’s lives, too many experience distressing period symptoms, struggle daily with PCOS, endometriosis, a fertility challenge, pain, low sex drive, sleep problems, acne, bloating, hot flashes, and more – all due to hormone-related problems. And too many are unable to get the answers they’re really seeking from their doctors. There is a solution. In Hormone Intelligence, Yale trained and internationally renowned women’s health expert, Dr. Aviva Romm, helps you identify the root causes of your symptoms and guides you through a 6-week proven program to achieve lifelong hormonal and gynecologic health. Using a holistic, dietary and lifestyle changing approach, Hormone Intelligence goes beyond treating symptoms to the deeper factors impacting women’s health, so you can reclaim your body, hormones, and self. Inside Hormone Intelligence, you’ll find: · Hormone Health 101: Understand the key components of the hormone epidemic and associated dietary and lifestyle triggers. · Symptoms and Root Causes Demystified: Discover what your symptoms are saying about your hormones with quizzes, checklists, trackers, and more. · A 6-Week Action Plan: Learn what foods you should indulge and avoid, how to repair your microbiome to support hormone health, how to identify environmental hormone disruptors, engage your body’s natural detoxification systems and reduce hidden inflammation, and the lifestyle changes that lead to happy, healthy hormones. · Delicious, done-for-you meal plans to take you through the entire program, including vegan options. Hormone Intelligence is an invitation to a whole new relationship with your body and hormones, the exhale you’ve been waiting for, and the first step on the road to realizing that a diagnosis does not have to be your destiny. Extended references, a complete index, and additional resources for Hormone Intelligence can be found at the author's website.

Elissa Schappell, “a diva of the encapsulating phrase, capable of conveying a Pandora’s box of feeling in a single line” (The New York Times Book Review) delivers eight provocative, darkly funny linked stories that map America’s shifting cultural landscape from the late 1970s to the present day. Blueprints for Building Better Girls delves into the lives of an eclectic cast of archetypal female characters—from the high school slut to the good girl, the struggling artist to the college party girl, the wife who yearns for a child to the reluctant mother—mapping America’s shifting cultural landscape from the late 1970s to the present day. Its interconnected stories explore the commonly shared but rarely spoken of experiences that build girls into women and women into wives and mothers. In revealing all their vulnerabilities and twisting our preconceived notions of who they are, Elissa Schappell alters how we think about the nature of female identity and how it evolves.

Body Stories
Author: Jill Andrews
Publisher: Demeter Press
ISBN: 177258309X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
Body stories capture a nuanced, interconnected, interactive, and complex telling of our understanding, perception, and experience of and through our bodies. Plenty has been published on body image but image suggests a static fixed body, unmitigated through our social interactions and varying times and spaces. This book is not a "how-to" guide for fat confidence. It's not a compendium of fat suffering. It's simply a collection of narratives about what it's like to survive in a weight-hating world. It resists the ways that marginalized bodies are being written and researched and put into other people's ideas about our existence. The stories in this book are celebratory and are painful. They look at intersections of race and queerness; they destabilize womanhood by presenting a range of possible female embodiments. They explore issues of disability and madness. The full range of possibilities that are collected here give a picture of what it means to live in a society with strong and powerful messages about size, about normalcy, about what a moral and healthy life and body look like. This book is a snapshot of its place and time, but these stories remind us that we're here to stay. The body stories will change but we will keep owning our own narratives. While story, especially written by women, is often seen as outside the academic canon, these stories, these creative offerings, are theory, are research, and are activism. They are nothing less than the blueprint for liberation. Writing about fat and about bodies outside of medicalized narratives, without ignoring the impact of race, sexuality, class, ability, gender, fashion, appearance, and beyond, is radical and rigorous. It is impossible to think about the future without wishing for liberation. Liberation can come in many forms. It can mean an awareness, the ability to confront. The stories in this book display the ways that liberation isn't a finish line or a thing we can complete—rather it is a million small actio
