You will learn to process attachment wounds, reconnect with your body, regulate emotions and move towards post-traumatic growth.

Forget the fads and transform your health with the unsung hero of the nutrition world – FIBRE. 
 
Fibre is known for its unsexy reputation of keeping people ‘regular’ – but the truth is, it benefits us in so many more ways. Fibre can reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and colon cancer while also lowering inflammation, boosting the health of our gut microbiome and brain and making us less susceptible to depression. Yet here in the UK, we’re only eating 16g a day, when the science says we should be getting 30g. 
 
In The Fibre Effect, readers will not only discover how easy it is – once you know how – to hit that 30g a day, but that fibre is far from brown, boring bland bran we thought it was. It’s Maple Pecan Baked Pears, Crispy Garlic Beans and Coconut Lentils with Crispy Kale. 
 
Unlike restrictive diets or calorie counting, Emma Bardwell’s science-backed approach guides you effortlessly towards better digestion, immunity, hormone regulation, metabolic health, blood sugar balance and weight loss – all by helping you focus on what to add to your diet, not what to take away. 
 
Through practical, feel-good advice and over 60 delicious recipes to help you eat all the fibre your body deserves, The Fibre Effect will show you how to reap the benefits of this unsung hero, helping you feel your very best.

'This is the book every woman needs not just in menopause, but well before.' – Kate Rowe-Ham, Menopause Fitness Expert and Author of Owning Your Menopause 
 
STRONGER MUSCLES AND BONES, INCREASED MOBILITY, LIFELONG INDEPENDENCE AND A NEW MENTALITY FOR AGEING WITH POWER. 
 
This cutting-edge guide to nutrition, training and lifestyle will optimise a woman's body for longevity, through menopause and beyond. 
 
Strong skeletal muscle drives healthy longevity – yet too often women neglect this important measure of fitness. Indeed, more than 70% of women experience musculoskeletal symptoms like joint pain, muscle loss and reduced bone density as they enter perimenopause and menopause. These symptoms – what Dr Vonda Wright refers to as the 'musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause' – can often set us up for osteoporosis, osteopenia, broken bones, increasingly limited mobility and reduced independence later in life. That trend stops now. Unbreakable outlines a new and direct path to protecting ourselves against this too-common fate. 
 
Drawing on her decades of experience as a pioneering orthopaedic surgeon helping women at all fitness levels to repair their bones and regain strength, Dr Wright gives clear action steps to shield us from the timebombs of aging in four critical categories:<ul><li>Exercise: Pinpointing the right combination of cardio and resistance training for you to aid in tissue regeneration and improve metabolic function.</li><li>Nutrition: What to eat to extinguish inflammation, repopulate your gut biome, and support strong bones and muscle growth.</li><li>Lifestyle: How to manage chronic stress, get more restorative sleep, and turn down systemic inflammation in your daily life.</li><li>Supplements: What to take to target the elimination of 'zombie cells' and improve your cell function.</li></ul> 
Including a six-week, master exercise protocol to jumpstart skeletal and muscular strength, critical information about baseline blood and mobility tests that will help you understand your current health state, and twenty easy, anti-inflammatory recipes, Unbreakable is an invaluable guide to adding more vibrantly healthy life to your years.

Should we ban screens? We are asking the wrong question – this is how we really keep our kids safe online. 
 
'How much screen time is too much?' 'Could my child become addicted to their smartphone?' 'Why does every rule I set start a battle?' Children today are growing up in a world more connected than ever before, exposing them to dangers their parents didn’t even imagine and raising questions they've never considered.

How to Sharpen and Protect Your Mind for a Lifetime

Separating from our other parent can be one of life’s toughest challenges. When we separate with children, trying to navigate how to bring them up together becomes much harder. The separation process may become confrontational; and when children watch their parents fight, or become pawns in that fight, the safe parental bubble they have lived in up to that point bursts. 
 
The Co-Parenting Method, based on the award-winning coaching methodology of The Co-Parent Way™, guides co-parents through their separation in a way that allows them to keep their children safe, whole, and protected. It gives co-parents the skills and knowledge they need to keep a safe parental bubble intact for their children, whatever they may feel about each other. 
 
'Marcie is an excellent advocate for making co-parenting work – she brings the voice of the child, which can often be lost when parents are separating, to the forefront of the discussion.' – Barbara Reeves, Head of Family Law, Mishcon de Reya LLP

'Our education systems are short-changing far too many teenagers. This book is brimming with insights on how to change that. It’s an engaging, evidence-based, and practical read about how to develop a generation of lifelong learners.' – Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential and Think Again, and host of the podcast Re:Thinking 
 
A powerful new approach to help your teen move from disengagement to drive. 
 
Adolescents are hardwired to explore and grow, and learning is mainly how they do this. But a shocking majority of teens are disengaged from school, simultaneously bored and overwhelmed. As parents, we can feel powerless and don’t know how to help – until now. 
 
Based on five years of research into why children lose their love of learning, award-winning journalist Jenny Anderson and the Brookings Institution’s global education expert Rebecca Winthrop have created a transformative model that every parent, carer and educator needs to know about. 
 
Identifying four modes of learning that every student goes through – resister, passenger, achiever and explorer – you’ll find out why understanding what these are is crucial to your child’s development and how you can coach them to become a curious, resilient and motivated learner. 
 
With stories from children who have used the tools in this book to become life-long learners, and with clear strategies on how to become your child’s best cheerleader, this book is essential reading for everyone who wants to help young people thrive.

21 Truths for a Long-Lasting Relationship

'This book serves as a transformative road map, offering actionable steps that promise liberation and empowerment.' – GABBY BERNSTEIN, #1 New York Times bestselling author 
 
'Filled with detailed accounts of how stressful events shape the pain we experience in our bodies and anxiety in our emotional landscapes, we learn how strengthening mental skills of attention, awareness and self-compassion can transform our suffer­ing, as we shift from merely surviving to thriving in a new life of freedom and choice.' 
– DANIEL SIEGEL, author of the New York Times bestseller Aware 
Does it feel like your body is failing you? It doesn't have to be this way. 
 
The thread that binds us is chronic pain, and conditions that limit us in countless ways. We live a shadow life, isolated by our pain. This struggle impacts our confidence at work, in our relationships, and leaves us vulnerable to depression. You may have tried different drugs, surgeries, alternative and holistic procedures, hoping to find a hint of relief. Too often, that relief doesn’t come. 
 
In Mind Your Body, psychotherapist Nicole Sachs shows us a new way of understanding and tackling chronic pain by nurturing your mind–body connection. With compassionate guidance, she helps us to understand that pain is an invitation to recognise the inner truths that have been waiting for our acknowledgement. 
 
In this groundbreaking book, Nicole Sachs explores the emotional depth of pain, by exploring common mini traumas such as shame, grief, suppressed emotions and unresolved issues. Through practical tools, journal prompts and self-inquiry, she offers us deeply healing ways to truly understand our body-mind, get to the bottom of our chronic condition and live life to the full once more.
