The Menopause Brain

Health, Mind & Body

The New York Times bestselling author of The XX Brain shows women how to navigate menopause successfully and come out the other side with an even better brain.Menopause and perimenopause are still a black box to most doctors, leaving patients exasperated as they grapple with symptoms ranging from hot flashes to insomnia to brain fog. As a leading neuroscientist and women’s brain health specialist, Dr. Mosconi unravels these mysteries by revealing how menopause doesn’t just impact the ovaries—it’s a hormonal show in which the brain takes center stage. The decline of the hormone estrogen during menopause influences everything from body temperature to mood to memory, potentially paving the way for cognitive decline later in life. To conquer these challenges successfully, Dr. Mosconi brings us the latest approaches—explaining the role of cutting-edge hormone replacement therapies like “designer estrogens,” hormonal contraception, and key lifestyle changes encompassing diet, exercise, self-care, and self-talk. Best of all, Dr. Mosconi dispels the myth that menopause signifies an end, demonstrating that it’s actually a transition. Contrary to popular belief, if we know how to take care of ourselves during menopause, we can emerge with a renewed, enhanced brain—ushering in a meaningful and vibrant new chapter of life.

Hot Flashes and Half Ironmans

Health, Mind & Body

Women's Health Winner in USA Best Book Awards!Middle-aged Endurance Athletics Meets The Hormonally ChallengedWomen get older, dammit, and sometimes it sucks, especially for women who pride themselves on athleticism and an adventurous spirit. Hot flashes. Weight gain. Sleepless nights. Yes, it can be hard, but middle age doesn't have to be a flashing red stop light. It's perfectly acceptable for women of a certain age, a certain level of hormonal imbalance, and a certain amount of cellulite to don spandex and even enter the rarefied sport of endurance triathlon.In fact, there's a huge advantage to aging: much of the potential competition drops out in favor of the couch and a remote control. And the endurance high? The elation of dietary purity and discovering you can have arms like Madonna? The Zen of goal attainment? Better than a good Shiraz buzz. Once you get past the ugly mood swings, chafing on your girly parts, and a "kill your own mother" craving for sleep and a hot Cinnabon, that is.PF Hutchins has been there and done that, with lessons learned and sense of humor (usually) intact. She completed her first triathlon at 39 and her first Half Ironman at 40.

Blessed be the man, who found out millenniums ago that there were grains, vegetables and fruit, which could be eaten and enjoyed. After that, there were other herbs which could enhance the taste of the pottages he made with the fruit, vegetables and grain. And then came more plant products, which he called spices, which would improve, enrich and heighten the eating experience.These spices were dried flowers, nuts, pieces of bark and other parts of trees, bushes and shrubs growing around him. Mankind did not instantly and instinctively get to know about these herbs and spices. He just observed his livestock eating some dried berries without any harm coming to them. So he tried those berries with fear and trembling. This is how coffee was discovered millenniums ago by a goat herder in far-off exotic Araby.He saw his goats munching on the dried berries of a plant. After that, he noticed that those goats were rather frisky and more energetic than their other companions. This adventurous goat herder, decided to collect the berries and grind them, because otherwise, they did not seem to be easily digestible. His wife must have told him to put them in water so that they could soften. Possibly they did not soften, but somebody drank that water. And that somebody showed quite an energetic display of enthusiasm and joie de vivre on a caffeine high.And so coffee was discovered. So what is the ruling that many of the spices discovered by mankind down the millenniums were found in just such a chance manner?Some spices are indigenous to particular areas of the world. That is why, they were very precious and used only by aristocrats. Medieval knights going away on their crusades were always told by their ladies to bring home spices. Not only would they gain respect in the eyes of their neighbors for having gone on The Crusades, but they could always sell the spices and become really rich.Well, they were just following the patterns of their ancestors millenniums ago, when Kings, princes and captured aristocrats were ransomed in spices.

Pourquoi on grossit

Health, Mind & Body

On nous serine que les graisses font grossir, qu'il faut des féculents à chaque repas et que sans activité physique régulière, on ne peut pas perdre de poids. Faux ! dit Gary Taubes.Non seulement ces « recommandations » ne nous ont pas fait maigrir, mais elles ont au contraire fait exploser le nombre des diabétiques et des obèses. Pourquoi ? Parce qu'elles sont basées sur de la mauvaise science, écrit-il : la théorie selon laquelle on grossit parce qu'on consomme plus de calories qu'on en brûle est une absurdité qui a causé des dommages incalculables.Taubes remonte dans le temps et remet à plat 200 ans de recherche sur l'obésité. Sans idées préconçues, ne prenant en compte que les preuves tangibles, Taubes révèle une incontournable réalité : toutes les calories ne sont pas équivalentes. Nos problèmes de poids proviennent avant tout des glucides (pain, féculents, sucres.) qui, en générant de l'insuline, génèrent de la graisse.Il répond aussi aux questions restées sans réponse : pourquoi certains sont-ils gros et d'autres pas ? Quelle est la part de l'exercice physique et de la génétique dans notre corpulence ? Et surtout, quelle alimentation suivre toute sa vie pour ne pas grossir.Gary Taubes est le plus célèbre journaliste scientifique américain. Ses articles et ses livres ont été récompensés par de nombreux prix, dont trois de l'Association des écrivains scientifiques. Il enseigne à l'École de santé publique de l'université de Californie (Berkeley). Pourquoi on grossit est bestseller aux États-Unis.« Les conclusions de Taubes sont surprenantes au départ mais incroyablement convaincantes au final... » – NewsweekCe livre est la nouvelle édition de l’ouvrage Fat - pourquoi on grossit, paru en 2012.

Die einzigartige Symbiose des Heilwissens aus Ost und West Der renommierte TCM-Arzt Li Wu und der Apotheker und Heilpflanzen-Experte Jürgen Klitzner gehen einen neuen Weg: Sie führen die beiden großen Traditionen des Heilens zusammen - die 5.000 Jahre alte chinesische Medizin und die fast 2.000 Jahre alten Kenntnisse aus der europäischen Kräuter- und Teebehandlung. Das beiden Traditionen innewohnende, ungeheure Potenzial wollen die beiden Experten ausschöpfen: In ihrer jahrzehntelangen Zusammenarbeit haben sie untersucht, welche Heilkräuter aus Ost und West am besten harmonieren und wie die Wirksamkeit der Tees optimiert werden kann. Dabei konnten die Heilkundler feststellen, dass die chinesischen und europäischen Kräuter sich in ihrer Wirkung ergänzen, oft sogar um ein Vielfaches verstärken können. Im ersten Teil des Ratgebers werden klassische Symptome, den Körper wie den Geist (als Ganzes) betreffend, aber auch außergewöhnliche Beschwerden beschrieben. Anschließend werden jeweils entsprechende Teerezepturen zur Vorbeugung und Behandlung empfohlen und erklärt. In einem eigenen Teil des Buches sind dann alle verwendeten Kräuter mit kurzen Erläuterungen sowie ihre Bezugsquellen aufgelistet. Zwei traditionsreiche, bewährte Heilmethoden werden in diesem Buch zusammengeführt - sie konkurrieren nicht, sondern bilden eine neue, nie dagewesene Einheit des Heilens. - Mit Extra-Kapitel "Heiltees für Jugendliche" und "Heiltees im Alter"
