MAKE YOUR BODY WORK FOR YOU

This book will help you create healthy habits that consider all aspects of female health at every life stage, including how to-
* harness your hormones to improve your menstrual cycle symptoms, work productivity and exercise habits
* fuel your body to have the energy you need to smash your goals
* exceed your personal best for fun, fitness or competition
* exercise safely and build strength to benefit your long-term health
* manage injuries that women are more prone to than men
* inform adolescent girls about their bodies and give them the confidence to advocate for themselves
* confidently communicate with health and fitness practitioners, friends, partners or colleagues about health issues you may be facing
* exercise during pregnancy - a new, extra chapter

Merging the latest science with the combined experience of its three expert authors- NHS doctor Bella Smith, sports research scientist Dr Emma Ross and athletic coach Baz Moffat, The Female Body Bible busts the myths and taboos that persist around women's bodies.

This isn't just a book, it's a movement - a call to action. Every woman deserves to know more about her body and everyone, regardless of their sex, needs to know more about women's bodies to remove the vestiges of secrecy and shame once and for all. This is the playbook for getting the most out of your body, offering strategies for you to find out what works best for you.

Instead of prioritising how a body looks, we need to focus on how it feels and functions. When we listen to our body, understand how it works and embrace and nurture it, health, fitness and well-being follows.

Emma Ross (Author) Dr Emma Ross is a scientist, researcher and practitioner. Before founding The Well she was Head of Physiology at the English Institute of Sport, she is the woman behind several breakthrough initiatives that ensure active women - and their support teams - are empowered with the knowledge they need about women's bodies, across their lifetimes. Baz Moffat (Author) Baz Moffat is a former Team GB rower, trainer and coach. With 20 years' experience working in fitness and sport, Baz is a prominent voice in the women's health movement. Baz specialises in core strength and the pelvic floor - a pivotal yet vastly underappreciated nucleus in the female body. Bella Smith (Author) Dr Bella Smith is an NHS GP with over 20 years' experience, a women's health advocate and an ambassador for The Eve Appeal. Under her moniker 'The Digital GP', Bella is a long time media consultant, adding insight and opinions on women's medical issues, the entrenched and harmful taboos in women's health discourse, and reproductive health and wellbeing.

Reviews for The Female Body Bible: Make Your Body Work For You

Finally, fitness advice that women can trust ... Drawing on science and their experiences, this formidable trio have produced a furious, taboo-busting book. * The Times * This book is wonderfully empowering, it has given me huge insight into how my body works and how I can help myself be stronger, fitter and healthier. My only wish is I could have had it as a teenager when I very sadly gave up competitive swimming because I didn't like the way it made me look, and had no clue how immensely important it was to me both physically and mentally. I can't wait to give it to my daughters, so they don't make the same mistake. * Louise Minchin, journalist and author of Dare to Tri * Baz, Bella and Emma are my go-to experts and with The Female Body Bible, they can be yours too. * Judy Murray, tennis coach * You need this book! It pioneers a much-needed revolution for women's bodies. * Maisie Hill, author of Period Power * Dr Bella is a fantastic GP who works in the NHS and is passionate about lifestyle, women's health and providing reliable, evidence based information. She is colleague, a friend and somebody whose information I would trust! * Dr Rupy Aujla, MBBS, BSc, MRCGP, Founder of The Doctor’s Kitchen *
