As well as writing like a demon (apologies but the book has taken over my life, I'm just not able to blog as much as I'd like to, and my brain is tired!), I've also been reading a lot. Your Hormone Doctor written by Leah Hardy and Susie Roger with Dr Daniel Sister is a fantastic guide on how hormones affect us as we age, featuring lots of scientific information, sound advice and tips on how to take control and have a healthier, happier menopause. It's a lively read, with chapters on: body changes, attitude, stress, exercise, sex, sleep, food and metabolism. I met author Leah Hardy for a quick coffee earlier this week - we had so much fun, and so much to discuss, it turned into a three-hour-long conversation. Leah is a former editor of Cosmopolitan, so we reckoned we definitely must have shared the lift together at some point during our respective careers at Hearst Magazines, and she now writes about health and beauty for most of the UK's national newspapers. Oh and she looks fabulous too, so I'll definitely be following her advice.
Having read the book, I'm convinced I need HRT and I MUST stop 'hor-moaning'. If you'd like to win a copy of Your Hormone Doctor and three months supply of the all-natural food supplement YOUTH (worth £170), just answer the following question, in the comments area below:

Joining the chorus! Beauty Works West Notting Hill Medi-Spa - and thank you for blogging about these topics! - Molly
ReplyDeleteBrava to you on the writing! You need to focus, so don't worry about us. Also, when I was having excessive hot flashes my doctor agreed I should take HRT, for no more than one year. I'm on a very low dose, and I've even reduced my dose further by taking them every other day. No hot flashes at all! I plan to wean myself off HRT at the end of summer, but I wonder what will happen then!
ReplyDeleteWonderful writing! Beauty Works West, Notting Hill, Medispa. Need to get there.

ReplyDeleteBeautyWorksWest
Beauty Works West - sounds absolutely fab! X
ReplyDeleteI have no idea and refuse, point blank to copy from the ladies comments above. I feel that on that basis I should win the book, because if nothing I am honest, or at least the "slimmer" chapter, if you could possibly tear that out if the winner is slim, I would be ever so grateful. HRT, really, why? You've seen my hot flushes first hand, should I go on it?

ReplyDeleteBeautyWorksWest in Notting Hill - and I didn't need to copy the other comments as I used Google! I don't suppose this is open to readers in Spain and anyway, as I'm well past the menopause (I'll be 67 in September!) I was wondering if it's too late for me?! Actually, thinking about it, if I win you can send it to my daughter who lives in London, who might find it helpful once she reaches that age!
