Largely dismissed by the medical profession, the increasing incidence of candida-related health problems has been called 'the silent epidemic'. All of us have the yeast organism candida albicans in our bodies. It is only when the production of candida gets out of control that there are problems - recurrent thrush, chronic fatigue, mood swings, headaches, indecisiveness, memory loss, insomnia, muscle ache, abdominal pain, constipation, loss of sexual desire - are just a few of the common symptoms that indicate that candida overgrowth may be present in the body. Identifying trigger foods is the key to combating the problem. But where do you start? This book includes a complete Candida Maintenance Programme and features delicious and easy recipes from leading cookery writer Michelle Berriedale-Johnson.

Inspiring and Heartfelt Stories of Relationships That Work

Mary Pipher

Why are adolescent girls prone to depression, eating disorders, addictions and suicide attempts than ever before? Mary Pipher believes adolescence is an especially precarious time for girls, a time when the fearless, outgoing child is replaced by an unhappy and insecure teenager. 
 
Her view is that for the most part it is our look-obsessed, media-saturated, 'girl-poisoning' culture - and not parents - which is to blame. Despite the advances of feminism, escalating levels of sexism and violence cause girls to stifle their creative spirit and natural impulses, which, ultimately, destroys their self-esteem. Yet it is often their families that are blamed. 
 
Here, for the first time, are thr girls unmuted voices. By laying bare their harsh day-to-day reality, Reviving Ophelia offers parents compassion, strength and strategies with which to revive these Ophelias' lost sense of self.

Find calm, clarity and joy in seconds with micropractice – a revolutionary, science-backed method that can deliver powerful benefits anytime, anywhere. 
 
 How do we care for ourselves when life won’t slow down? This is the question that psychologist Eli Susman spent a decade pursuing the answer to at Harvard and Berkeley as he observed how too many of us think mindfulness, self-compassion and joy are only achieved through lengthy retreats, intensive meditation or hours on the yoga mat. 
 
 Enter micropractice: a term Susman coined for the powerful, bite-size techniques that help us find calm and well-being – right in the middle of modern life’s many demands. In this beautifully illustrated, accessible and highly practical guide, Susman distils ancient wisdom and his own pioneering research into 14 practices anchored in 4 core elements: 
<ul><li>MOVE: Energise instantly with microyoga, a quick power pose or a spontaneous microdance – no mat, dancefloor or skills required.</li><li>TOUCH: Enhance self-compassion, calm anxiety and lower cortisol – through something as simple as petting a cat, resting your hands on your belly and chest or even sharing a fist bump with a friend or colleague.</li><li>BREATHE: Reset your nervous system and release endorphins with intentional breathing exercises, laughter yoga or by singing a few lines of your favourite song.</li><li>FLOW: Infuse ordinary moments with intention, from mindful eating to silently offering lovingkindness to the people you encounter throughout your day.</li></ul> 
Along the way, Susman reveals the science of habit formation so these micropractices don’t just inspire you once – they stick. No elaborate rituals, just research-grounded tools that slip naturally into your day to build emotional resilience, spark creativity, sharpen focus and make well-being a way of being.

Seeing that person's face makes me feel anxious.

This is the kind of person who takes up space in your head 24/7 – and refuses to leave. 
 
So why is it so hard to stop thinking about difficult people? 
 
The answer lies within our brain’s survival instinct. When someone triggers anxiety, anger or fear, our mind marks them as a threat, making it impossible to ignore them.

'For anyone who feels stuck, this book offers a path to something new' CAROL DWECK 
 
From the #1 bestselling author of Grit, a new book that reveals the hidden power of situations - and how you can shape them to bring out your best. 
 
In Angela Duckworth’s first book, she showed that a common denominator of successful strivers is a blend of passion and perseverance she dubbed 'grit.' This new book springs from her deepening realization that grit, while necessary, is sometimes not sufficient. How you situate yourself to meet a challenge can be crucial. 
 
Duckworth’s in-depth research reveals the enormous influence wielded by the objects within arm’s reach, your peers and mentors, and even where you live. Though you’re often told to make the best of your situation, it is far, far better to make your situation better first.In Situated, you’ll discover: 
<ul><li>Why your personality changes, sometimes dramatically, from one situation to another – and how you can harness that shift</li><li>The secret to conquering temptation without willpower</li><li>Why taking the less effortful path can feel like cheating but often solves a stubborn problem</li><li>How the company you keep shapes the person you become</li><li>The most effective ways to help others succeed</li></ul>

Permission to parent your child the way they need you to 
 
In Parenting Your Autistic Child, parenting expert and SEN mum Lisa Galley offers a lifeline for parents raising autistic children. Parents who are exhausted by advice that doesn’t work, and the constant guilt of getting it ‘wrong’. It lifts the lid on the brain-body link, helping parents understand what’s happening inside their child’s nervous system in everyday moments like meltdowns, transitions, stimming, bedtime, or screen time – and why traditional strategies fail to take this into account. 
 
This isn’t a book full of theory and behaviour charts. It’s about real life: the 3:30pm meltdown, the refusal to get dressed, the soul-destroying school run. It shows parents exactly what’s going on in their child’s brain and body during those moments, and helps parents to understand why the normal ‘rules’ of parenting just aren’t working. 
 
With gentle science, practical tools, and deep validation, Parenting Your Autistic Child doesn’t just explain the ‘why’, it shows parents how to parent confidently, differently, and without shame.
