hormonal, notamment entre oestrogènes et progestérone. Il a également été l'un des premiers à mettre en garde contre les effets secondaires des progestatifs de synthèse, à souligner l'influence de l'environnement et du mode de vie sur cet équilibre, et à proposer des solutions naturelles pour remédier à ces problèmes. Dans ce nouvel ouvrage destiné au grand public, il s'est assuré la collaboration du Dr Jesse Hanley, une spécialiste de la médecine holistique (nutrition, plantes, psychosomatique), et de Virginia Hopkins, une journaliste spécialisée dans la santé. S'adressant à toutes les femmes de trente à cinquante ans, il explique clairement le mécanisme hormonal et son implication dans un ensemble de troubles, bénins ou graves, qui surviennent bien avant la période de la ménopause : troubles gynécologiques, syndrome prémenstruel, fatigue, prise de poids, perte de la libido, maux de têtes, cancer du sein...

guidance on all the options and issues that matter most to them and their partners when preparing for a babyBy Émilie Choquet. 2020
Frondeuse et brillante, une jeune femme se prépare à ajouter un élément à la liste de ses réalisations : avoir…
un enfant. Tout au long de la grossesse, la maternité a fait lobjet d'une préparation minutieuse. Les projets ne manquent pas pour remplir de moments magiques le temps avec le bébé. Mais dès l'accouchement, où le scénario prévu ne se réalise pas, le savoir accumulé pendant des mois se retourne contre la mère. Le corps et lesprit, apprend-elle, n'agissent pas toujours de concert. De retour à la maison, la nouvelle mère fait face à la fatigue qui s'accumule et à des journées où s'enchaînent séances d'allaitement, bercements, changements de couche. Malgré ses efforts pour éviter que la situation ne lui échappe, des failles apparaissent partout. Dans l'espace qui se creuse entre sa perception du monde et le réel, sa raison s'égare peu à peu. L'hospitalisation devient nécessaire. On ne sait ni quand ni comment elle parviendra à sortir de la boucle temporelle dont elle est prisonnière. Ce sera à elle de trouver à tâtons la voie hors du labyrintheBy Emma Hansen. 2020

Finally, a calming pregnancy book that cuts through the noise to tell expectant mothers exactly what they need to know-and…
what they can stop obsessing about and over-researching. In The New Rules of Pregnancy, two leading OB-GYNs guide you, the modern pregnant woman, through all aspects of pregnant life in an easy-to-digest, compassionate, and motivating way. Instead of a detailed week-by-week look at your baby's development, it's all about you and how to help your pregnancy go as smoothly as possible. It assumes an intelligent, busy listener (who, somewhere inside, is shouting, "Just tell me what to do!"). Every aspect of pregnant life is covered-from the practical details (how to fly pregnant) to the complex issues ("What makes it postpartum depression?"). The book also covers that critical "fourth trimester"-"Nursing" and "How to Feel Like Yourself Again"-because once the baby is born, self-care typically goes out the window, and you really need someone to have your back. Its strong point of view and expertise come from gynecologist Adrienne Simone and obstetrician Jaqueline Worth-two renowned New York doctors dedicated to bringing patients the safest, calmest, least invasive pregnancies possible. The book's voice-motivating, supportive, real-comes from Danielle Claro, coauthor of The New Health RulesBy Franz-Olivier Giesbert. 2012

des spatules du ventre de ma mère où je serais bien resté, si on m'avait demandé mon avis, il était en moi comme je suis en lui. Il m'accompagne tout le temps. Même quand je dors. C'est ma mère qui m'a inoculé Dieu. Une caricature de sainte mystique qu'un rien exaltait, des pivoines en fleur aussi bien qu'une crotte de son dernier-né, au fond du pot. Je suis sûr qu'elle avait de l'eau bénite en guise de liquide amniotique. Elle exsudait la foi. " -- 4e de couvBy Jennifer Worth. 2013
