New York Times bestselling author of The Menopause Manifesto and the world's most famous and outspoken gynecologist (The Guardian) fights myths and fearmongering with real science, inclusive facts, and shame-free advice on the topic that impacts more than 72 million Americans every month: menstruation.

Most people who menstruate can expect to have hundreds of periods in a lifetime. So why is real information so hard to find? Despite its significance, most education about menstruation focuses either on increasing the chances of pregnancy or preventing it. And while both are important for many people, those who menstruate deserve to know more about their bodies than just what happens in service to reproduction. At a time when charlatans, politicians, and social media are succeeding in propagating damaging misinformation with real and devastating consequences, Dr. Jen provides the antidote with science, myth busting, and no-nonsense facts.

Not knowing how your body works makes it challenging to advocate for yourself. Consequently, many suffer in silence, thinking their bodies are uniquely broken, or they turn to disreputable sources. Blood is a practical, empowering guide to what's typical, what's concerning, and when to seek care--recounted with the expertise and frank, fearless wit that have made Dr. Jen today's most trusted voice in gynecology.
Dr. Jen answers all your period-related questions, including: Why do we menstruate? How heavy is too heavy? How much should periods hurt? And she provides essential information about topics such as:

* The fascinating biology of menstruation
* Menstrual migraines, PMS, and period diarrhea (yes, it's a thing, unfortunately)
*Vaccines and menstruation
*Legitimate menstrual products, and the facts behind toxic shock syndrome
*Painful periods and endometriosis
*Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
*Debunking social media disinformation about contraception
Blood is about much more than biology. It's an all-in-one, revolutionary guide that will change the way we think about, talk about--and don't talk about--our bodies and our well-being.

Requisite reading. A no-nonsense, educational, science-backed, in-depth title about menstruation and the impact it can have on one's body. This title will empower readers to better understand their bodies and to advocate for themselves in medical situations. --Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW

Filled with piercing social analysis and enlightening science, this one's a winner. --Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

From two of the world's leading experts in endometriosis comes an essential, first-of-its kind book that unwraps the mystery of the disease and gives women the tools they need to reclaim their lives from it.

Approximately one out of every 10 women has endometriosis, an inflammatory disease that causes chronic pain, limits life's activities, and may lead to infertility. Despite the disease's prevalence, the average woman may suffer for a decade or more before receiving an accurate diagnosis. Once she does, she's often given little more than a prescription for pain killers and a referral for the wrong kind of surgery. Beating Endo arms women with what has long been missing--even within the medical community--namely, cutting-edge knowledge of how the disease works and what the endo sufferer can do to take charge of her fight against it.

Leading gynecologist and endometriosis specialist Dr. Iris Kerin Orbuch and world-renowned pelvic pain specialist and physical therapist Dr. Amy Stein have long partnered with each other and with other healthcare practitioners to address the disease's host of co-existing conditions--which can include pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, gastrointestinal ailments, painful bladder syndrome, central nervous system sensitization--through a whole-mind/whole-body approach. Now, Beating Endo formalizes the multimodal program they developed, offering readers an anti-inflammatory lifestyle protocol that incorporates physical therapy, nutrition, mindfulness, and environment to systematically addresses each of the disease's co-conditions on an ongoing basis up to and following excision surgery. This is the program that has achieved successful outcomes for their patients; it is the program that works to restore health, vitality, and quality of life to women with endo.

No more misdiagnosis roulette and no more limits on women's lives: Beating Endo puts the tools of renewed health in the hands of those whose health is at risk.

In Your Baby, Your Way award-winning journalist Jennifer Margulis explores our current cultural practices during pregnancy, childbirth, and the first year of a baby's life, challenges advice given to new mothers, and encourages parents to question what they're told about prenatal and infant care. Margulis explains how financial interests often skew the treatment we give to mothers and infants, investigating topics such as:

- How the diaper industry perpetuates delays in potty training
- Why cesareans are increasingly prevalent
- Why more women don't breastfeed

Based on meticulous research and in-depth interviews with parents, doctors, midwives, nurses, health care administrators, and scientists, Margulis's impassioned and eloquent critique is shocking, groundbreaking, empowering, and revelatory. Going beyond the advice in the What to Expect books, Your Baby, Your Way inspires and empowers, helping couples have a happier, healthier pregnancy and childbirth, and motivates women to ask 'why?' before blindly agreeing to everything their doctor orders (Booklist).

This book is like that wise friend who knows exactly what you're going through because they've been there. It breaks down the menopause maze with clarity and compassion, offering solid, research-backed advice on how to ease symptoms and make empowering lifestyle changes. But it's the way this advice is delivered that makes all the difference-straightforward, yet warm and understanding.

What really drew me in was the promise of learning how to tweak my diet and exercise routines in simple, practical ways that fit into my already hectic life. The book delivers on this promise beautifully, providing easy-to-follow tips that actually make a difference. It's not about overhauling your life overnight; it's about making small changes that add up to big benefits for your health and happiness.

But perhaps the most refreshing part is the book's approach to menopause itself. It doesn't treat it as a problem to be fixed but as a phase of life to be embraced. Through inspiring stories from real women, I felt a sense of community and encouragement that's been missing from other resources I've checked out.

Buying the MENOPAUSE DIET AND EXERCISE BOOK didn't just give me a guide; it gave me a new outlook on menopause. It's not something to dread but a chapter to approach with confidence, armed with knowledge and a sense of control. If you're looking for a book that combines heartfelt advice with actionable steps, and treats menopause as a beginning rather than an end, this is the guide for you. It's like having a chat with a friend who's been through it all and has come back to guide you through with a flashlight and a map. Trust me, it's a conversation worth having.
