THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

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

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.
