Comen, a breast cancer specialist, tells the history of women‘s treatment in medicine and how the study of our different needs was often overlooked and breakthroughs were often in short supply. She takes a body system approach working through integumentary, musculoskeletal, reproductive, and more. The audio is fantastic!

I've read this one with a pen in my hand. Extremely useful and insightful for women of all ages, but equally for men! Raising awareness about menopause symptoms and treatments helps women feel less lonely and misunderstood during this new stage, and regain their normal life.

This is an incredible read about why ultra-processed food is so damaging to our health and society at large. Amazing research to back up the author's claims. Highly recommend if you're interested in learning more about health.

Definitely not the *most* fun reading I could be doing, but here we are. I was diagnosed earlier this week with Hashimoto's disease and I found out yesterday that I also have Lupus. I'm not going to lie, I cried a little. I've been sick for years but never really taken seriously, so having answers is scary but good.
Anyway, I'm looking for all the resources because knowing the ins and outs comforts me. Any reading recs from reputable people?

Suet624 Oh gosh. I understand completely your need to find out all you can. At least you finally know what you‘re dealing with. 4w

Cailey_Mac This is a good first step! I also have Hashimotos, and recommend doing slow changes to help incorporate them easier and make them an easier habit. Learning as much as you can definitely helps. Each person is different and certain foods may trigger you vs someone else, so be mindful after eating to see how you ultimately feel. This helped me feel more confident in my own journey, and just know you‘re not alone!💕 (edited) 4w
CatLass007 Rachel, it‘s good to know that you‘re finally being taken seriously. Having a doctor who knows what‘s going on with your health and educating yourself as much as possible is important. Litsy is a supportive and caring community. It‘s good that you know that sharing here is safe. And it‘s good that you have such an attentive nurse in your pup. 4w

Fascinating and well put together. I think I‘ll have to get my own copy.

I enjoyed this book. It had some really interesting information about Japanese culture. I liked learning more about traditional Japanese values and their way of life. I‘m also going to try several of the recipes included in it. That said, I don‘t think I‘d like to own a copy of this. For me, it‘s a #borrownotbuy. I‘m glad I got it from the library.

I have been trying to read as much as I can about neurological conditions such as Alzheimer‘s and Dementia. Volunteering in Hospice, and working a for few months in home health has taught me a lot. My father and step-mom both have Alzheimer‘s, so these books are very helpful but it‘s still hard. This book discusses some history of mental illness and its institutions, and stories of loved ones who have had these diseases. It discusses the⬇️

JenniferEgnor problems with funding, visibility and compassion. It also discusses the ongoing search for a cure. The author lays out her own plans should this happen to her, as it did her mother. Unfortunately, as of now, there is no medically assisted death available for Alzheimer‘s and Dementia, given the requirements the diseases fail to meet along timelines and cognition. For me, that is what I would want; just to check out and call it a night, by any⬇️ 2mo
JenniferEgnor means within my availability. I don‘t want to exist as a shell, the real me being lost forever. If you are looking for a book about caregiving, this isn‘t it, though it is educational and worth reading. Shown: my husband and I with my father and step-mom, last weekend. She told me her grandmother was 200 years old; she gave the cat human cereal with milk in a bowl instead of her cat food; and we saw banana peels that my father placed inside⬇️ (edited) 2mo
JenniferEgnor the storm door frame. You don‘t know what the next moments might bring; you just have to go with it and love them through it. 2mo
TieDyeDude ❤ It is great that you work in home health, but it must be tough having to “bring your work home,“ for lack of a better term. I'm glad you were able to get something out of this book. 2mo

Doing more research on intermittent fasting and discovered this book in a subreddit… I was just talking about this culture revolving around food with my sister the other day. Almost every occasion, happy or sad, personal or professional, seems to revolve around food and drink. Reforming this mindset is going to take some work…
