So Much to Be Done: The Writings of Breast Cancer Activist Barbara Brenner
by Barbara Brenner&“What kind of cancer is it?&” was the first question Barbara Brenner asked her doctor after hearing that the lump in her breast was malignant. His answer: &“You don't need to know that.&” Wrong response. Brenner, who was already an activist, made knowing her business and spreading knowledge her mission. The power behind Breast Cancer Action® and its transformative Think Before You Pink campaign, Barbara Brenner brought an abundance of wit, courage, and clarity to the cause and forever changed the conversation. What had been construed as an individual crisis could now be seen for what it was: a pressing concern of public health and social justice, with environmental issues at the center of prevention efforts.Collected in So Much to Be Done, and framed by personal accounts of Barbara and her influential work, Brenner&’s columns and blog posts form a chronicle of breast cancer research and health care activism that is as inspiring as it is informative. As she takes on the corporate forces at work in breast cancer research and treatment and in the &“pinkwashing&” of fund-raising for the cause, Brenner, a self-described hell-raiser, contends with cancer herself, twice, and her words offer understanding and encouragement to all those whose lives are touched by the disease.When Brenner was diagnosed with ALS in 2011, she broadened her critique of health care while also writing about her own experience. Infused with her characteristic moxie, humor, anger, and compassion, these reflections from her last two years provide an in-depth, precisely observed portrayal of what it is to live with a terminal disease and to die on one&’s own terms.
So Stressed
by Beth Hamilton Stephanie McclellanBeing "so stressed" has to be the most common description for a woman today -- no matter your age or marital status, whether you have a career or work inside the home. Stress is the gift of modern life that keeps on giving, because, even after you've gotten through a stressful day or week, the effects on your body and mind linger, whether you're aware of them or not. And they can build up and make you sick -- unless you do something to stop them. That's where So Stressed, a landmark new guide to women's health, can help. The realization that stress was the most common cause of all the different symptoms and ailments that their patients were coming to them for was a eureka moment for internationally renowned OB-GYN physicians Stephanie McClellan and Beth Hamilton. To find out how stress could be the root cause of diseases as disparate as chronic pain, gynecological disorders and depression,asthma and metabolic disorders, Drs. McClellan and Hamilton embarked on a unique medical quest -- they wanted to find the latest discoveries emerging around the world in the science of stress and put them all together in treatments to help their patients now. Their urgent mission took them to the leading researchers at the best medical centers around the world, where they learned the exciting findings that they reveal in this fascinating new approach to women's health, So Stressed. With information from the medical and psychological sciences of stress that no other practicing physician or clinician has implemented, So Stressed shows you what stress is doing to every cell in your body, how it disrupts the intricate balance of your body's systems, and most important what you can do, starting today, to restore your body's health and prevent yourself from getting sick. Drs. McClellan and Hamilton -- who are widely sought after for their compassionate manner and educational approach to their patients -- have treated more than 16,000 women in their shared three decades of medical practice. Through their timely research and unique, integrative approach to patient care, they have developed four groundbreaking stress types, each with unique patterns for potential illness and disease -- presented here for the first time -- that you can use to identify the ways that stress is affecting your body and mind. Once you know your unique stress profile, the doctors help you learn new ways to see and respond to stress, reduce it and its effects on your body, and even prevent the life-threatening illnesses it causes. You'll find the right program -- specifically designed for the way you fit into your stress type -- with prescriptive advice for the best mental relaxation techniques, nutrition, exercise, and restoration practices for you. Filled with instructive and inspiring case stories from their patients' and their own life experience, Drs. McClellan and Hamilton bridge the gap between the lab bench and the bedside in this comprehensive program for total health.

Sobrevivir a un mundo gordofóbico: Sin caer en trastornos alimenticios
by Jesica LaviaCon más de quince años de experiencia como nutricionista, Jesica Lavia cuestiona la gordofobia y reclama dejar de estigmatizar y patologizar a las personas por el tamaño de sus cuerpos y "entender todas las aristas que afectan no solo lo que comemos, sino el acceso a lo que comemos y cómo nos relacionamos con nuestra alimentación. Entender cómo lo cultural nos atraviesa y la urgencia de que el cambio sea colectivo". Argentina ocupa el segundo lugar a nivel mundial con más casos de trastornos de la conducta alimentaria. Este es un claro indicador de que vivimos en una sociedad en la que la delgadez es un valor y un ideal por alcanzar. Cualquiera que se desvíe de ese camino sufre discriminación social y también médica, porque hasta en un consultorio se alarman si nuestro peso se escapa de los índices que determinan cuándo estamos obesos. Esto está generando una cultura de dietas y una ola cada vez más grande de gordofobia, que van minando nuestra salud mental y pueden disparar varios trastornos de la alimentación. Con más de quince años de experiencia como licenciada en Nutrición, Jesica Lavia ofrece una mirada cruda y realista sobre este problema, al tiempo que reclama y propone un cambio de paradigma para dejar de estigmatizar, oprimir y patologizar a las personas por el tamaño de sus cuerpos. Y "entender todas las aristas que afectan no solo lo que comemos, sino el acceso a lo que comemos y cómo nos relacionamos con nuestra alimentación. Comprender cómo lo cultural nos atraviesa y la urgencia de que el cambio sea colectivo".
