When Dr Mary Claire Haver hit the perimenopause, she was shocked at the severity of her symptoms. She had always lived a very healthy lifestyle but the weight seemed to be piling on and no diet or fitness regime could shift it, leaving her exhausted and miserable. She researched her own solutions and transformed her health with these three principles which now make up The Galveston Diet, which is taking the US by storm: 
 
Fuel Refocus - Alter the ratio of healthy fats, lean protein, and quality carbohydrates to efficiently burn fat. 
Intermittent Fasting - Eat within a flexible 8-hour eating window to draw energy from stored fat. 
Anti-inflammatory Food - Eat more foods like leafy greens, olive oil, berries, nuts, and tomatoes. 
 
With these principles working together, women can lose stubborn weight and enjoy newfound energy, better sleep, less brain fog, and fewer hot flashes. The Galveston Diet finally puts menopausal women in control of their health.

'Who knew our body clocks determined so much of our health, happiness, and lifespan? I learned so much' - James Nestor, author of Breath 
 
In the twenty-first century, we increasingly push our daily routines into the night, carrying out work, exercise and our social lives long after dark. But we have forgotten that our bodies are governed by a 24-hour biological clock which guides us towards the best time to sleep, eat and think. 
 
In Life Time, Professor Russell Foster shares his life's work, taking us on a fascinating and surprising journey through the science of our body clocks. Using his own studies, as well as insights from an international community of sleep scientists and biologists studying circadian rhythms, he illustrates the surprising effects the time of day can have on our health, including: 
 
- how a walk outside at dawn can ensure a better night's sleep 
- how eating after sundown can affect our weight 
- the extraordinary effects the time we take our medication can have on our risk of life-threatening conditions, such as strokes 
 
In the modern world, we have neglected an essential part of our biology. But with knowledge of this astonishing science, we can get back into the rhythm, and live healthier, sharper lives.

ME/CFS affects an estimated 250,000 people in the UK, roughly 3 in every 1,000 people. Chronic Fatigue conditions are some of the most frustrating and life-altering conditions to suffer from, so why are they still so poorly understood?

 This will be the much-needed, go-to, evidence-based guide for people struggling with ME/CFS, or their friends and family, providing information and advice about the nature of the condition, how it progresses, and what they can do to improve their health. Many treatments are therapeutic, so Living with ME and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome will be written by two leading experts - consultant rheumatologist, Dr Gerald Coakley, and occupational therapist, Beverly Knops.

Following nearly thirty years of practising his unique blend of hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, coaching and counselling, Andrew Parr reveals his E.S.C.A.P.E. Method that has helped thousands of people to break free of their limitations and achieve things they never thought possible. 
 
In this book he shows us that the truest, happiest and most capable version of ourselves is already within us, hidden beneath layers of false ideas that we have all been conditioned to believe over the course of our lives: 'I'm not good enough', 'I don't deserve to be happy', 'I don't belong', to name but a few. This book shows you how to peel back the layers, de-hypnotize yourself of those beliefs and become your best self. 
 
Whether you want to ask for a pay rise, lose weight, be in a happy relationship or improve any aspect of your life, with these simple exercises you can transform your old, restricted self and become the successful person you were born to be.

This Too Shall Pass

Stories of Change, Crisis and Hopeful Beginnings

Gary Bloom

Elite athletes play out their lives in the most public of arenas. Everything they do is analysed in real time and then picked apart in the pub and in the press afterwards. 'Why did they miss that penalty?', 'What made them fall at the first jump?', 'That press conference was a bit weird.' We can all speculate, but what's really going on? 
 
 In Keeping Your Head in the Game we peer into this highly confidential world. We follow the journeys of ten athletes in their therapy sessions with sports psychotherapist Gary Bloom, from a rugby player arrested for a drunken brawl, through a homesick cricketer on tour, to a snooker player struggling with his feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. 
 
Structured around the emotions we all experience on a daily basis - shame, anger, fear, jealousy and envy, love -chapter by chapter, the inner traumas that have an impact on the performance of these sports personalities are revealed, explained and resolved. Seeing how they overcome their demons is a powerful way of tackling your own and, as Gary says, happier players play better - in sport and in life.
