An alternative and unique perspective on our understanding of menopause. This groundbreaking book offers a response to the call of women to listen deeply to the wisdom of their bodies as they go through the change and stages of peri-menopause and menopause. In modern times, even with the increased awareness of recent years, the overriding response is management and relief of symptoms. However, in this book Reva provides a revolutionary approach to menopause, perceiving this transition as a rite of passage and alchemical process. Through her own experience Reva acts as a guide in allowing women to connect with their bodies and awareness though contemplation, as well as suggesting practices to support a deepening of women's exploration of menopause, including yoga, meditation and ritual. Within these pages, Reva will provide women with a sense of trust, and wider perspective as they discover more about their bodies, their perceptions, learning from, rather than fearing this time of change.
Five years ago, at the age of forty-six, Trisha Posner was surprised to learn from a blood test that she was in full-blown menopause. Her gynecologist urged her to begin hormones immediately, but, mindful of her family’s history of breast cancer, she refused. No Hormones, No Fear is the story of Posner’s search for an alternative to the AMA’s sanctioned regimen of hormone replacement therapy. In a wonderfully engaging personal account, she reveals how she mastered menopause naturally, by developing a unique program involving exercise, diet, nutrition, and herbs. She not only successfully alleviated her symptoms but actually significantly improved her health and quality of life. Now updated with the latest major medical studies, which raise troubling questions about estrogen replacement for millions of women, No Hormones, No Fear is an indispensable primer for women confronting the thicket of conflicting information about whether or not to choose hormones during menopause. Trisha Posner, through her own inspiring story, shows that today’s modern women finally have choices and can empower themselves by taking control of their health and lives.

The Business of Menopause: A Guide for Working Women by Bev Thorogood Pdf
THE BUSINESS OF MENOPAUSE - A GUIDE FOR WORKING WOMEN Menopause can be a complete minefield and trying to find easy to understand, pragmatic advice and information can be hard work. Dr Google is full of confusing and contradictory info and even a visit to the doctor doesn't always give you the answers you need. Everything seems to be either too clinical or too extreme. When my menopause kicked in 5 years ago what I wanted was something that would tell me what was happening, and what I could expect. I wanted to understand the choices available to help manage my symptoms so that I could make an informed decision formed on well researched, evidence-based information. I wanted to know how to look after my health and manage my weight as I moved through this mysterious time in my life, but most of what I found was extreme and restrictive or required magic pills and potions. With all the confusion and contradictions, I felt I was left with more questions than answers. It took me a long time to research and gather together accurate information but when I did I realised how much nonsense there is out there. So much scaremongering and downright lies. So I decided to re-write the book! In The Business of Menopause, A Guide for Working Women, I've brought together all the knowledge I've gained from my research into menopause, along with my training as a nutritionist, personal trainer and mindset coach, to create a simple, easy to read manual to help you manage your menopause in a way that works for you. It not only focuses on the short-term management of symptoms but also discusses the health implications of being post-menopausal and offers a holistic, pragmatic approach to your longer-term health and wellbeing. Using my NESST framework you will not only learn about what's going on as you transition through menopause but you'll also get advice and help to manage your nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress and mindset, so you can be healthy and strong in both mind and body. I so wish I'd had this book when I started my menopause journey a few years ago when, like you, I felt I just couldn't get the help I needed. With the right support in place, working women can continue to thrive through menopause and beyond. The book offers advice on how to get the help you need from your workplace and also how to get the best outcome from a visit to your doctor. Written in simple English, The Business of Menopause busts many of the myths surrounding menopause, it explains how you can manage your menopause through medical, non-medical and lifestyle choices so that you can truly find the best solution for you. "In this book, Bev offers up to date, accurate information presented in an easily understandable style to help you steer your own unique path through the menopause. Information on managing symptoms, understanding what is happening in your body and how to manage your working life during this time are offered in a balanced and pragmatic way. The menopause can offer us a unique opportunity to assess our lives and habits, change what no longer serves us and create a new way of being that will support us now and into older age. This book will help you reach the right decisions for you to move forward to the next phase of your life with grace and ease."

Women and Therapy in the Last Third of Life by Valory Mitchell Pdf
What is distinct about the last third of life, about women, that makes psychotherapy different? In this diverse collection, the psychological meanings and challenges of the last third of life are explored, as the capacity of the psyche expands, sense of time changes, and some questions take on new vibrance and urgency. Some chapters shine their light on women therapy clients - on their precarious sociocultural predicament in a sexist/ageist time and place, on intrapsychic changes that follow from changing bodies, relationships, involvements and emergent needs of the self. Other chapters enter the largely unexplored territory of changes in the therapy process itself - where some decide against therapy altogether, while others describe a rich revision of familiar elements of therapy, greater authentic presence, a changed standpoint on the power of the therapeutic relationship. Standing inside the ‘‘last third’’ and looking back on their own lives, several women psychotherapists offer a rare window into their private experience across time and their perspectives on the challenges and the gifts that they, and other women, may realize in the last third of their lives as they consider who they have become, who they are, and who they can be. This book was based on a special issue of Women and Therapy.

If you thought the fitness craze was about being healthy, think again. Although Charles Atlas, Jack LaLanne, Jim Fixx, Jane Fonda, Richard Simmons, and Jillian Michaels might well point the way to a better body, they have done so only if their brands brought in profits. In the first book to tell the full story of the American obsession with fitness and how we got to where we are today, Jonathan Black gives us a backstage look at an industry and the people that have left an indelible mark on the American body and the consciousness it houses. Spanning the nation's fitness obsession from Atlas to Arnold, from Spinning to Zumba, and featuring an outrageous cast of characters bent on whipping us into shape while simultaneously shaping the way we view our bodies, Black tells the story of an outsized but little-examined aspect of our culture. With insights drawn from more than fifty interviews and attention to key developments in bodybuilding, aerobics, equipment, health clubs, running, sports medicine, group exercise, Pilates, and yoga, Making the American Body reveals how a focus on fitness has shaped not only our physiques but also, and more profoundly, American ideas of what "fitness" is.
The individual who reaches age twenty-one without smoking, using illegal drugs, or abusing alcohol is virtually certain never to do so. As Joseph Califano points out in his searing indictment of America's irresponsible attitude towards drug abuse, by failing to act on this lesson, we have lost untold lives and resources. Califano deftly demonstrates how substance abuse is implicated in poverty, violent crime, soaring health care costs, family dissolution, child abuse, homelessness, teen pregnancy, and AIDS. With alcohol and tobacco interests buying political protection with campaign contributions and helping seed a culture of substance abuse, Califano illustrates the dire need for parental engagement, proposes revolutionary changes in prevention, treatment, and the nation's criminal justice, health care, and social service systems, and sounds an urgent cry to address the plague responsible for the death of more Americans than all our wars, natural catastrophes, and traffic accidents combined.
