Framework: Your 7-Step Program for Healthy Muscles, Bones, and Joints
Author: Nicholas A DiNubil
A renowned orthopedic surgeon provides the first medically proven fitness program designed to help prevent the #1 reason for doctor visits in the United States--bone and joint problems Fitness can't be just about a healthy heart or looking good in a swimsuit. After all, low cholesterol and a flat stomach won't get you very far if back or neck problems, or a worn out knee or shoulder, keep tripping you up.
This first-of-its-kind program is designed to ensure that your frame can go the distance, with durability to match the muscle tone and conditioning we all want. And unlike other workouts, Framework starts with a unique self-test that uncovers potential problems with your frame, your workout, your nutrition, and more. It even combines diet and lifestyle advice with a balanced, customizable workout that acknowledges the fact that our bodies are all a little different and often need special attention. It teaches you to pay attention to what your body tries to tell you, and when it is being challenged by a special problem, whether it is a heel spur or stress on the job.
Best of all, Nicholas A. DiNubile, M.D., who serves as orthopedic consultant for the Philadelphia 76ers as well as the Pennsylvania Ballet, shows you how to work around--helping without hurting--any muscle or joint problems you may already have. And it all takes only 1 hour a day, 3 days a week.

We all know that exercise is good for us, but too much of a good thing-or the right thing done wrong-can lead to serious musculoskeletal problems. Carey, an exercise physiologist, and DiNubile, a sports medicine physician, have each written a book that will help people safely start, maintain, and build an exercise program. Both authors take philosophical approaches rooted in therapeutic modality, meaning that they prescribe exercises based on the interaction of the whole body. Carey believes that many musculoskeletal problems result from muscular length and strength imbalances. To correct these imbalances, he has developed the Function First program, which focuses on proper body alignment, kinesthetic awareness, and core body strength and stability. DiNubile, meanwhile, presents many of the same core body exercises as Carey; to boot, there is an extensive preexercise screening questionnaire and advice on aesthetics, weightlifting, diet, and seeking medical advice in case of injury. Both titles are well organized, include helpful illustrations, and impart advice that is in line with what trainers today are offering at many top health clubs. Both are highly recommended for public, consumer health, and human resource collections.-Howard Fuller, Stanford Health Lib., Palo Alto, CA Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

The Hormone Solution: Naturally Alleviate Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance from Adolescence through Menopause
Author: Erika Schwartz
Hormones are the regulators of our bodies -- when they are in balance we feel good, look great, and are able to approach life on our own terms. When they are out of balance or changing because of adolescence, pregnancy, or menopause, they can lead to both common problems and devastating conditions such as infertility, postpartum depression, fibroid cysts, insomnia, and memory loss. Dr. Erika Schwartz never questioned the conventional methods of treating menopausal women until she went through "the change" and realized how ineffective they were for her. Intrigued by the natural hormones derived from soy and yams, she started prescribing these natural forms of estrogen and progesterone for herself and her patients. The results were astounding. Now Dr. Schwartz shares her successful, proven program to help women of all ages prevent, reduce, or even eliminate the symptoms of hormone imbalance naturally.
