Overview

This groundbreaking new book by a leading gynaecologist explains the surprising secrets of managing your weekly hormonal changes to your best advantage.All women have it, but they may never have stopped to think about it before - it is the one week of the month that you feel great about yourself, confident and together, more sensual and receptive to others, when your hair shines and your skin glows. Naming this phenomenon for the first time, and combining cutting edge medical information with practical advice, Dr. Rebecca Booth shows women not simply the best time to try to become pregnant (or avoid a pregnancy), but how to improve each week of their cycle by managing their bodies' changes to their best advantage.The complexities of the hormonal cycle can seem like a mystery. But once women come to understand-and own-the regular fluctuations, they can begin to feel less like victims of their hormones and more in the proverbial driver's seat. Once women learn the secret of ""The Venus Week"", they will be able to work with the ebb and flow of their hormones, improving their moods, energy level, sex life, fertility, and more. A lens through which to envision their daily, weekly, and monthly lives, women can use ""The Venus Week"" to channel that feel-good-look-good phenomenon and make it work for them - not only during those 5-7 days, but all month long.
