It's not hysteria : the truth about pelvic pain, period problems, and your gynaecologic health / Tang, Karen
Conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, PMDD, or pelvic floor dysfunction, don't receive the stream of funding for research and new treatments that other conditions do, despite affecting up to half the population. It's Not Hysteria shares critical knowledge that anyone impacted by these conditions desperately needs.
Creative first aid : the science + joy of creativity for mental health / Marshall, Caitlin
You don't have to be good at art for art to be good for you. Being creative is good for us: it lowers our stress hormones, calms our nervous system and can get us into a flow state. Our innate creativity is part of being human, but it's easy to forget, especially since many of us have been told that we are 'no good' at art. At a time when mental health challenges are on the rise and support systems are stretched, Creative First Aid is your practical guide to taking matters into your own hands, literally. It's about the proven positive effects of making something - a garden, a story, a meal, a drawing - and the powerful interaction this process can have on your mental, emotional and physical state.
In The Complete Guide to Allergies, author and allergist Dr. Catherine Quéquet explores the world of the most common allergies and introduces readers to the strangest and newest allergies that have impacted large numbers of the population in recent years.
Live nourished : make peace with food, banish body shame, and reclaim joy / Spence, Shana Minei
Touching on concepts like intuitive eating and health at any size, Live Nourished provides you with a roadmap towards eating, moving, and living in a way that works for you. Spence's thesis is simple: If we can learn to separate ourselves and our worth from diet culture, we can learn how to eat when we're hungry, meet our body's unique needs, and discover which foods give us pleasure--all while nourishing our bodies and souls in the process.
How to have a baby : the essential unbiased guide to pregnancy, birth and beyond / Kayat, Sara
