Their conversation is soon interrupted by a new breed of Tourists intent on killing them both, forcing them to run. As he tells his story, Milo is joined by colleagues and enemies from his long history in the world of intelligence, and the young analyst wonders what to believe.

Autor: Dr. Avrum Bluming , Dra. Carol Tavris

Número de Páginas: 365

REVISADO Y ACTUALIZADO El libro que cambió la conversación sobre la terapia de reemplazo hormonal ( TRH ) Una defensa convincente y "fascinante" (Robert Cialdini) de la terapia de reemplazo hormonal ( TRH ) que evidencia de manera contundente sus beneficios para la salud y longevidad de las mujeres y expone las conclusiones científicas erradas que provocaron su rechazo. Durante años, la terapia de reemplazo hormonal (TRH) fue aclamada como un milagro. Estudio tras estudio demostraron que si se inicia este tratamiento al inicio de la menopausia, podría aliviar síntomas como bochornos y pérdida de memoria; reducir el riesgo de enfermedades cardíacas, alzhéimer, osteoporosis y algunos tipos de cáncer; e incluso prolongar la esperanza de vida de la mujer. Pero cuando la Iniciativa de Salud de la Mujer (WHI) anunció que las mujeres que tomaban TRH tenían un mayor riesgo de cáncer de mama, el miedo al estrógeno se disparó y se abandonó la terapia hormonal. Ahora, el oncólogo Bluming y la psicóloga social Tavris revelan la verdadera historia de los datos distorsionados que divulgó la WHI. Investigan qué fue lo que llevó al público en general —y a muchos...

Years of smoking, drinking and late-night takeaways at her desk had taken their toll; she was in pain, and she felt... well, old.

Distilling all the latest medical science and with the help of the world's leading longevity experts, she presents a 3-step plan to embed new ways of eating, moving and, crucially, resting more deeply.

STILL HOT!

Autor: Kaye Adams , Vicky Allan

Número de Páginas: 383

Every menopause has its own story. It's time we told them . . . The menopause. What even is it? One big theme unites Still Hot!'s 42 stories - that, somehow, the world doesn't ready us for this. The menopause - let alone the perimenopause - simply isn't talked about; instead, it's reduced to a comic hot flush. More and more of us are proudly stepping free of the menopausal closet, but the Big M is still a conversation whispered below the radar. No one tells you it will be like this. No one prepares you for it. That silence is lifting, slowly. So let's be bold, let's overshare. Let's find solidarity among Still Hot!'s myriad voices - wise, rebellious, measured, fierce, upfront - telling how the menopause is not just one story, but many. Telling, in fact, that this is not the menopause, it is YOUR menopause.

Take It to Heart

Número de Páginas: 242

“All my dreams, confidence, creativity, and healthy living could not protect me from where my heart was about to take me . . . which was not, as I’d often hoped, to the love of my life or all my dreams fulfilled, but to a 99 percent blockage of my arteries and triple bypass surgery. I had heart disease.” —from Take It to Heart Nobody lived a healthier or more active life. She was the juicing guru to the stars. She exercised and ate right. But at forty-seven Pamela Serure, exhausted, in pain, and with diagnoses ranging from menopause to anxiety, discovered that she had heart disease. Lifestyle and diet couldn’t correct what her genes had determined. With two days to get her affairs in order, Pamela prepared for triple bypass surgery to correct three almost completely clogged arteries. What the doctors missed and what most women don’t seem to know is that heart disease is the number-one killer of American women. It kills more women than all the cancers combined. Traditional markers of heart disease, such as high cholesterol, may not apply to women. As a result, doctors consistently misdiagnose female patients with anxiety, digestive distress, or symptoms of menopause....
