'What everybody needs to read… a deep and powerful understanding of what the person who has dementia is going through' – Davina McCall

The essential toolkit to navigating dementia, supporting loved ones and caring for yourself

Dementia is devastating. Almost a million people are currently living with the disease in the UK alone and this is set to triple by 2050. With family members often providing care, navigating treatment can be overwhelming. But there is life after diagnosis.

Still Me reframes the job of caring for someone with dementia as a partnership. Both you and your loved one deserve respect, support and the latest research to help you on your journey.

Top neuroscientist and bestselling author Dr Sabina Brennan combines her professional knowledge with her personal experience of caring for her mother with dementia. With a human-rights approach that validates everyone’s experience and dignity, she offers:
– A self-care plan for care partners to cope with demands and optimise the caregiving experience
– Practical advice on how to manage challenging symptoms, stimulate cognitive function and encourage a brain-healthy lifestyle
– Evidence-based therapies to improve both you and your relative’s quality of life.

Dementia can steal many things, but it doesn’t have to take away the simple pleasures of life. Shifting the focus from the disease to the person, Still Me reminds you that your relative is still there and that you, as a care partner, are just as important.

The go-to manual for anybody considering starting HRT and navigating the perimenopause journey

Most GP visits are 10-15 minutes long – never enough time for your doctor to take you through all the ins and outs of hormone replacement therapy. Written by Dr Ellie Cannon, a practising GP specialising in women’s health, this easy-to-read guide condenses everything doctors wish they had time to tell you.

With the amount of conflicting information on menopause, navigating this journey can be overwhelming. It’s been framed in some quarters as the panacea – the more hormones you take, the better you’ll feel. But there are also a lot of GPs concerned that women are being over-promised a positive menopause.

Dr Ellie is here to redress the balance: in support of HRT but sensible about the pros and cons of the treatment. With her level-headed and impartial approach, she doesn’t ask you to jump on the HRT bandwagon, but gives you clear, digestible advice and information as you start your research during perimenopause. Getting to the crux of HRT, this is your personal GP consultation from start to finish – with all your questions finally answered.

Have you struggled to get diagnosed, be believed or get the right treatment for endometriosis? This book is for you.

We still don’t know what causes endometriosis, and we don’t know how to cure it either. What we do know is that it can cause debilitating pain and seriously affect mental health. Endometriosis is not ‘just a bad period’; it is a whole-body disease which is as common as asthma or diabetes, affecting 1 in 10 women. Yet it is barely covered in medical school, leaving sufferers repeatedly dismissed when trying to access care.

Backed with up-to-date scientific knowledge and interviews with endometriosis specialists and those affected by the condition, Jen Moore gives you all the tools you need to:

– Understand what endometriosis is (and what it is not)
– Deal with the system and get a diagnosis
– Navigate the ins and outs of surgery
– Cope with physical and mental pain
– Fight for better endometriosis care

This beacon of hope is your go-to guide to endometriosis, getting the care you deserve and finally feeling seen and heard.

Instead, decluttering is about the emotions we put behind our stuff. That’s why we can struggle so much with throwing out our favourite mug when it chips or parting with those (very) expensive shoes that we never actually wear?

Sound familiar? If so, experts Lesley Spellman and Ingrid Jansen have the solution. Their Reset Your Home method guides you through your house – room by room and step by step – helping you to sort through your emotional connection to stuff first, then through the practicalities of letting it go second.

Beginning in the kitchen – the room with the fewest emotive items in the home – you’ll learn how to strengthen your ‘decluttering muscle’ as you go, before tackling sentimental items at the end.

Reset Your Home is the tried-and-tested, realistic approach to decluttering for anyone who wants to enjoy a lighter life.
