As well as writing like a demon (apologies but the book has taken over my life, I'm just not able to blog as much as I'd like to, and my brain is tired!), I've also been reading a lot. Your Hormone Doctor written by Leah Hardy and Susie Roger with Dr Daniel Sister is a fantastic guide on how hormones affect us as we age, featuring lots of scientific information, sound advice and tips on how to take control and have a healthier, happier menopause. It's a lively read, with chapters on: body changes, attitude, stress, exercise, sex, sleep, food and metabolism. I met author Leah Hardy for a quick coffee earlier this week - we had so much fun, and so much to discuss, it turned into a three-hour-long conversation. Leah is a former editor of Cosmopolitan, so we reckoned we definitely must have shared the lift together at some point during our respective careers at Hearst Magazines, and she now writes about health and beauty for most of the UK's national newspapers. Oh and she looks fabulous too, so I'll definitely be following her advice.
Having read the book, I'm convinced I need HRT and I MUST stop 'hor-moaning'. If you'd like to win a copy of Your Hormone Doctor and three months supply of the all-natural food supplement YOUTH (worth £170), just answer the following question, in the comments area below:
What's the name of Susie Rogers spa?
