The upside of stress, by kelly mcgonigal, Phd

Most of us have heard too many times that stress is bad for us, but stress is also an unavoidable part of life. After reading Dr. McGonigal’s book, we think you might even come to appreciate the benefits that stress can offer. One of our favorite chapters in this book, and one we’ve reread time again, is “A meaningful life is a stressful life.” Creating the life you want—the life that excites you every day—is going to take some risks on your part. But, as Dr. McGonigal states, “One thing we know for certain is that chasing meaning is better for your health than trying to avoid discomfort. Go after what creates meaning in your life and trust yourself to handle the stress that follows.”

Estrogen matters, by avrum bluming, md, and carol tavris, phd

There is still no consensus on post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy, and many of us are still carrying the alarming and seemingly definite message that was repeated over and over from the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) in 2002. Frightening headlines forced a belief that taking hormones after menopause was dangerous across the board, increasing the risk of breast cancer, heart disease and stroke. But a more careful and nuanced look at the WHI data, along with an abundance of research since, actually show a significantly different picture. Drs. Bluming and Tavris provide an excellent summary of the relevant research, and prove there is value to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for many women, without an increased risk of breast cancer. While our approach to treatment with HRT differs somewhat from the discussed treatment with Premarin, this book is a wonderful starting place for the nuanced discussions that we need to have around considering bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

Full catastrophe living, by jon kabat-zinn, phd

From the introduction of this classic text on mindfulness, we are reminded of the power of mindfulness to heal ourselves and strengthen us on our journey. Kabat-Zinn explains, “Mindfulness is a skill that can be developed through practice, just like any other skill. You could also think of it as a muscle. The muscle of mindfulness grows both stronger and more supple and flexible as you use it.” He also provides compelling research, along with his own personal experience and great wisdom, that time spent nourishing a mindfulness practice is time well spent. Mindfulness is simple, but not easy, and some days it might even feel impossible. But, as each of us seek healing, wholeness and a decrease in suffering for ourselves and those around us, mindfulness is an invaluable tool, and this book demonstrates why.
