Period Power
Autor Maisie Hillen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 iul 2019 – vârsta de la 12 ani
Descoperim aici că ingredientele esențiale pentru o viață echilibrată nu se află în exterior, ci în înțelegerea profundă a propriilor hormoni, a tiparelor de energie și a modului în care biologia ne influențează deciziile zilnice. Subliniem faptul că Period Power nu este doar un manual de anatomie, ci un ghid pragmatic care transformă ciclul menstrual dintr-o povară lunară într-un instrument de performanță. Notăm cu interes structura logică propusă de Maisie Hill, care organizează volumul în trei piloni: „Get to Know Yo'self”, unde demitizează funcționarea corpului, „The Cycle Strategy”, nucleul cărții care asociază fazele hormonale cu anotimpurile (iarnă, primăvară, vară și toamnă), și „Treat Yo'self”, o secțiune dedicată îngrijirii și rezolvării problemelor comune. Cine a explorat abordările științifice din Go with Your Flow de Dr. Alexandra MacKillop va aprecia aici modul în care teoria medicală este tradusă într-un limbaj accesibil, plin de umor și strategii aplicabile imediat în carieră sau relații. Această lucrare reprezintă fundamentul operei lui Hill, precedând volumele Perimenopause Power și You've Got the Power. Dacă în lucrările ulterioare autoarea se concentrează pe tranziția către menopauză sau pe depășirea amânării, aici ea pune bazele educației hormonale. Spre deosebire de alte ghiduri, Period Power oferă un plan concret pentru a maximiza „superputerile” naturale în zilele cu energie maximă și pentru a ajusta așteptările în perioadele de retragere, refuzând ideea că femeile trebuie să fie victimele propriilor fluctuații biologice.

Period Power is the handbook to periods and hormones that will leave you wondering why the hell nobody told you this sooner.
The hormones of the menstrual cycle profoundly influence our energy, mood and behaviour, but all too often we're taught that our hormones make us unreliable, moody bitches, or that it's our lot in life to put up with `women's problems'. Maisie Hill, a women's health practitioner, knows the power of working with the menstrual cycle and refuses to accept this theory. Instead, Maisie believes that our hormones are there to serve us and, if utilized correctly, can be used to help you get what you want out of life.
Yes, we are hormonal, and that's a very good thing. This revolutionary book reveals everything you need to know about taking control of your menstrual cycle and outlines The Cycle Strategy to help us perform at our best, throughout our cycle. In Period Power you will discover how to:- maximise your natural superpowers each month while making adjustments for the darker days, and use Maisie's favourite tips to improve them- identify your personal patterns, powers and pitfalls for each phase of the menstrual cycle - plan your month to perform at your best in all aspects of your life - figure out if you have a hormonal imbalance and what to do about it.
Period Power is a no-nonsense guide with all the tools you need to improve your menstrual health.
