Author: Louise Foxcroft

For over two thousand years, attitudes to the menopause have created dread, shame and confusion. This meticulously researched and always entertaining book traces the history of 'the change of life' from its appearance in classical texts, to the medical literature of the 18th century, to up-to-the-minute contemporary clinical approaches. Its progression from natural phenomenon to full-blown pathological condition from the 1700s led to bizarre treatments and often dangerous surgery, and formalized a misogyny which lingers in the treatment of menopausal women today.Louise Foxcroft delves into the archives, the boudoir and the Gladstone bag to reveal the elements that formed the menopause myth: chauvinism, collusion, trial, error and secrecy. She challenges us to rethink absurd assumptions that have persisted through history - that sex stops at the menopause, or that aging should be feared. This story belongs to everybody, certainly to ... more

The Menopause Thyroid Solution order quantity

NZ$ 31.00 each
Paperback
Author: Mary J. Shomon
In Stock: 1
In her newest book, Mary Shomon takes readers on a quest to understand the profound influence the thyroid has on a woman's hormonal health in the perimenopause and menopause years, and discusses how undiagnosed thyroid problems may be the real culprit behind what many assume are peri/menopausal symptoms. Many women assume they're suffering from perimenopause or menopause and embark on a wild goose chase of hormone replacement, go soy crazy, start smearing themselves with yam and progesterone creams, or end up taking all sorts of herbs, from black cohosh to chasteberry. But, when the real culprit is a thyroid problem, these approaches simply don't work. And by age 60, it's estimated that as many as half of women have an underactive thyroid. A drop in reproductive hormones frequently triggers a thyroid slowdown - a 'thyropause' - that causes misleading symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and depression.

The Secret Pleasures of Menopause is a groundbreaking book that is long overdue.

Christiane Northrup, M.D., delivers a breakthrough message that will help millions and millions of perimenopausal and menopausal women just like you understand that at menopause "life has just begun. It is the beginning of a very exciting and fulfilling time, full of pleasure beyond your wildest dreams".
Dr. Northrup believes that it's time for you to step forward and learn to enjoy the best years of your life.

It is a long-held misconception that menopause signals "the beginning of the end," and nothing could be further from the truth. In this fascinating book, Dr. Northrup candidly guides you toward ... more

Their effects may occur in seconds and be over in a flash, or emerge over months and last for years. In "The Truth About Hormones", Vivienne Parry explains how exactly these mysteriously powerful chemicals affect our bodies and our behaviour.

Your Life in Your Hands Understanding, Preventing and Overcoming Breast Cancer order quantity

Paperback
Author: Jane Plant

Professor Jane Plant's message - that breast cancer can be treated, and even prevented, effectively by simple changes in our diet - caused an extraordinary reaction in the media on first publication, and has gone on to meet with huge acclaim from hundreds of thousands of sufferers of breast cancer around the world and force the scientific world to look into the link between dairy foods and cancer. Jane's personal story, and her own battle against breast cancer, is one part of this important and ground-breaking book. The hundreds of scientific papers she continues to consult and reference, backing up her analysis of the benefits of giving up dairy produce, are another. Perhaps the strongest testimony to her achievement, however, comes from the hundreds of letters and emails she has received thanking her for producing her message of hope.
