My Top 10 Pregnancy, Post Natal and Female Health Centric Texts
1. Fat Around the Middle – Marilyn Glenville – easy to read and understand, great for clients who really need to get the message that STRESS is making and keeping them fat!
2. The Female Body Breakthrough – Rachel Cosgrove – a kick ass text, she tells it how it is and shows you how to get blinding results from pretty easy to do changes in nutrition and beefing up your workouts – a personal favourite.
3. From Belly Fat to Belly Fat – Dr C W Randolph – great if you have clients who are pre-menopausal or menopausal and just can’t seem to shift the fat. Some tough love here but I guess the mantra is ‘want something different, got to DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT! I personally, followed this book to help me with my Oestrogen domininance issues.
4. Women’s Bodied, Women’s Wisdom – Dr. Christianne Northrup – my bible! Even Oprah has a copy permanently by here bedside. If you train women, get this!!!
5. Pregnancy & Childbirth – A Holistic Approach to Massage and Bodywork – Suzanne Yates – beautiful, sentient – my bodywork bible.
6. Anatomy and Physiology For Midwives – Coad with Dunstall – one of the major texts on the reading list for student midwives. Heavy on the science but what did you expect 🙂
7. Optimum Nutrition Before, During and After Pregnancy – Patrick Holford – Does what it says on the tin from the ever-on-it Mr. Holford.
8. Fitness for the Pelvic Floor – Beate Carriere – Foundation text for the ‘Movement Based Pelvic Floor Exercise’ crew!
