Author: Leslee Kagan

Control Your Menopause Symptoms with a Holistic Mind/Body Approach

Millions of women report the years after menopause as a time of increased confidence and feelings of empowerment. However, the menopause transition can be a difficult one. Maybe you've endured night sweats. Maybe you've begun asking friends and family, "Is it hot in here?" only to get a resounding "No." Maybe you're noticing that PMS is more than a monthly occurrence. If you're searching for a natural or integrated medical approach to navigate the midlife transition and improve your long-term health, you have picked up the right book.

Based on groundbreaking programs developed by clinicians at the Mind/Body Medical Institute, including Dr. Herbert Benson, Mind Over Menopause is the only book to combine the expertise of the Mind/Body Medical Institute, Harvard Medical School, and a leading member of the North American Menopause Society to create a complete plan for coping with menopause symptoms, so that all women can attain that confidence and enhance their midlife experience.

ABSolution

Author: Shawn Phillips

The question I'm most frequently asked goes something like this, "Shawn, what's your secret--what's the one thing you do differently than everyone else that allowed you to build such great abs?" The one thing, the one thing, the one thing... So many people are looking for the one thing--the secret. Many people think the one thing is some ab-training device like the type you see advertised on television infomercials. It's not. Others would like you to believe that the one thing is some miracle fat-burning pill. It's not. Others would have you believe that the one thing--the big secret--is liposuction or some other quick fix. Once again, it's not. The fact is, and this is the first and most fundamental lesson of my ABSolution Program, the one thing is everything! Everything we do affects the way we look and the way we feel. It's when we exercise, how we exercise, and the exercises we do. It's when, what, and how much we eat. It's which vitamins and supplements we nourish our bodies with. It's how much we rest and recover. It's how we think and how we live. It's everything. And, that's what this book is all about. It's about everything you need to learn to build your own absolutely fantastic abs.

About the Author

ABSolution incorporates the many lessons Shawn Phillips has learned through his own pursuit of building a better body, which has spanned some 20 years. It also incorporates his countless hours of scientific research and real-world experience gained by helping numerous world-class athletes and people from all walks of life successfully reach their fitness goals. ABSolution is not a quick-fix, nor is it a "simple and easy" way to get in great shape. It's an effective, scientifically safe and sound approach. And it's a common-sense approach in a fitness industry where common sense is not common at all.
