Bloody Powerful - The taboo-busting guide to periods, menopause and everything in-between

Brought to life with art from talented illustrator Hazel Mead, this incredible book is aimed at every woman stuck in the 'information gap' navigating the jargon and myths about their gynaecological health online. Bloody Powerful covers everything you didn't get taught in school: giving you factually correct and reliable information coming from a practicing gynaecology doctor. It is a non-judgemental and insightful guide to empowering yourself to take charge of your body. Dr Brooke Vandermolen answers questions you have always wanted to ask, from 'Do I need supplements to balance my hormones?' to 'How do I know if my period is too heavy?' sprinkled with facts you may never have realised about your body. Thought-provoking, inspiring and inclusive, this book will show you how we're all the same in wanting to know more about our own bodies, and we are each utterly and beautifully unique.
