STRONGER MUSCLES AND BONES, INCREASED MOBILITY, LIFELONG INDEPENDENCE AND A NEW MENTALITY FOR AGEING WITH POWER. 
 
This cutting-edge guide to nutrition, training and lifestyle will optimise a woman's body for longevity, through menopause and beyond. 
 
Strong skeletal muscle drives healthy longevity – yet too often women neglect this important measure of fitness. Indeed, more than 70% of women experience musculoskeletal symptoms like joint pain, muscle loss and reduced bone density as they enter perimenopause and menopause. These symptoms – what Dr Vonda Wright refers to as the 'musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause' – can often set us up for osteoporosis, osteopenia, broken bones, increasingly limited mobility and reduced independence later in life. That trend stops now. Unbreakable outlines a new and direct path to protecting ourselves against this too-common fate. 
 
Drawing on her decades of experience as a pioneering orthopaedic surgeon helping women at all fitness levels to repair their bones and regain strength, Dr Wright gives clear action steps to shield us from the timebombs of aging in four critical categories:<ul><li>Exercise: Pinpointing the right combination of cardio and resistance training for you to aid in tissue regeneration and improve metabolic function.</li><li>Nutrition: What to eat to extinguish inflammation, repopulate your gut biome, and support strong bones and muscle growth.</li><li>Lifestyle: How to manage chronic stress, get more restorative sleep, and turn down systemic inflammation in your daily life.</li><li>Supplements: What to take to target the elimination of 'zombie cells' and improve your cell function.</li></ul> 
Including a six-week, master exercise protocol to jumpstart skeletal and muscular strength, critical information about baseline blood and mobility tests that will help you understand your current health state, and twenty easy, anti-inflammatory recipes, Unbreakable is an invaluable guide to adding more vibrantly healthy life to your years.

How to Sharpen and Protect Your Mind for a Lifetime

Brittany Piper

Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, or the aftermath of trauma, this groundbreaking book will show you how to become your own best healer. 
 
Brittany spent most of her life sitting across from therapists recalling the painful stories of her trauma. But rehashing each event — being put into foster care as a baby, losing her brother in a car accident, enduring a brutal rape and a public trial, and more — made her even more stuck. At a crossroads, she took her recovery into her own hands. 
 
On this journey, Brittany discovered science that explains how and why trauma lives in our bodies, not in the story of what happened to us. Trauma overwhelms our nervous system, which operates through feelings, sensations, and emotions, not through words and thoughts. Now a Somatic practitioner herself, in Body-First Healing Brittany provides a roadmap to recovery, resilience, and nervous system regulation. With Brittany, you will learn how to: 
<ul><li>Name your core wounds, trauma responses, and stuck nervous system state</li><li>Create feelings of safety and regulation with anchoring resources like exploratory orienting, movement, self-contact, etc.</li><li>Fully experience an uncomfortable feeling with the Sensation, Image, Behaviour, Affect, Meaning framework</li><li>Engage somatic tools, like air screaming for anger or limb shaking for anxiety, that help express uncomfortable emotion</li></ul>

'One of the most loving and tender accounts of motherhood I've ever read' – Sarah Turner 
 
'Heartwarming and honest with magnificent humour sprinkled throughout' – Clara Batten 
 
'Lisa writes with an honesty that is both refreshing and important' – Kellie Bright, actor and SEN Parent 
 
The highs, the lows and the delightfully neurospicy – this book is for every parent raising the ‘in-between’ children in a neurotypical world. 
 
How many times have you heard ‘he doesn’t look autistic’ or ‘she seems fine to me’? Do you sometimes feel alone as a parent, like no one really gets it? And have you ever watched in horror as your child told a friend their house was ‘boring and smelly’?! 
 
If any of that sounds familiar, it’s time to throw out the perfect parenting guides and join Lisa Lloyd on this rollercoaster journey of raising neurodivergent children who don’t fit the mainstream but aren’t considered ‘severe’ either. Lisa has been there and is ready to tell all – from the confusion of the early years and discovering your child is neurodivergent, to navigating a school system that doesn’t seem to fit, and the daily frustrations of picking your battles (and losing most of them). 
 
Ever wondered what would happen if you took your autistic three-year-old on a haunted ghost ride? Or what your reaction would be if your seven-year-old grabbed a stranger’s backfat in the changing rooms? Wonder no more! Raising the SEN-Betweeners is a very honest guide for all those parents in similar shoes, navigating the challenges, joys and hilariously unpredictable moments every day. If that is you, this book will make one thing very clear: you are not alone.

'This book serves as a transformative road map, offering actionable steps that promise liberation and empowerment.' – GABBY BERNSTEIN, #1 New York Times bestselling author 
 
'Filled with detailed accounts of how stressful events shape the pain we experience in our bodies and anxiety in our emotional landscapes, we learn how strengthening mental skills of attention, awareness and self-compassion can transform our suffer­ing, as we shift from merely surviving to thriving in a new life of freedom and choice.' 
– DANIEL SIEGEL, author of the New York Times bestseller Aware 
Does it feel like your body is failing you? It doesn't have to be this way. 
 
The thread that binds us is chronic pain, and conditions that limit us in countless ways. We live a shadow life, isolated by our pain. This struggle impacts our confidence at work, in our relationships, and leaves us vulnerable to depression. You may have tried different drugs, surgeries, alternative and holistic procedures, hoping to find a hint of relief. Too often, that relief doesn’t come. 
 
In Mind Your Body, psychotherapist Nicole Sachs shows us a new way of understanding and tackling chronic pain by nurturing your mind–body connection. With compassionate guidance, she helps us to understand that pain is an invitation to recognise the inner truths that have been waiting for our acknowledgement. 
 
In this groundbreaking book, Nicole Sachs explores the emotional depth of pain, by exploring common mini traumas such as shame, grief, suppressed emotions and unresolved issues. Through practical tools, journal prompts and self-inquiry, she offers us deeply healing ways to truly understand our body-mind, get to the bottom of our chronic condition and live life to the full once more.

Naomi Watts

*THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* 
 
'Naomi Watts has gathered stories of her experiences around menopause into a book that imparts the much-needed facts, from one woman to another. Thank you and brava!' – GILLIAN ANDERSON 
 
Hollywood star Naomi Watts opens up about the challenges she faced on reaching early menopause, providing a supportive, holistic guide based on the latest advice from hormone experts, doctors and nutritionists. 
 
At 36, Naomi Watts was at the height of her fame when suddenly she started experiencing symptoms she couldn’t explain – dry, itchy skin, raging hormones, night sweats – leaving her lost and confused, only to learn that she was going through menopause. 
 
It is estimated that 13 million women in the UK are currently dealing with menopause symptoms, and yet the very word 'menopause' continues to be associated with stigma and confusion. With so little information, many women feel unprepared, uninformed and – because of the varying ages it begins – deeply alone when the time comes. This is the book Naomi Watts wishes she had when she first started experiencing symptoms. Like sitting down over coffee and having an intimate chat with the girls, Dare I Say It blends stories from Naomi and her friends with humour and expert advice, to take the stigma out of menopause and ageing. 
 
Answering questions such as: What’s HRT and should I be on it? Will I ever sleep again? What happened to my libido? Do I need 18 serums for my ageing skin? Whose body is this anyway? Naomi Watts shares the most up-to-date learnings on how to manage menopause symptoms and tackle the physical and emotional challenges we encounter as we age. Irreverent, bold and funny, Dare I Say It is the companion every woman needs to inhabit the best version of themselves.

'One of the most innovative, intuitive, comprehensive, and transformational therapies to have emerged in the present century.' Gabor Maté, author of THE MYTH OF NORMAL 
 
The breakthrough insight of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model is that each of us is not a single personality. In fact, we carry in us a 'family' of distinct inner parts that hold our many hurts and inner conflicts – and that we can heal in order to live with more confidence, courage and connection. 
 
The Internal Family Systems Workbook will enhance both self-care and therapeutic application of IFS. Beginner-friendly and accessible, Dr Schwartz presents more than 50 practices, exercises and meditations to help understand the parts that make up your system, extend compassion and healing to each, and uncover your core Self that is the source of your deepest wisdom. You’ll find a variety of exercises to support your own learning style, as well as QR codes that point to guided audio practices to further bolster your journey. 
 
IFS has proven to be a revolutionary tool for stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, burnout, addiction, disordered eating, relationships, and more. Here is your key to a powerful journey of self-discovery and healing at your own pace. As Dr Schwartz says, 'You and all your parts are welcome here.'
