Venus Week

All women have it, but may never have thought about it--the one week of the month when you feel great about yourself, more attractive, focused, and receptive to others. Your hair shines; your skin glows. But why does this happen? And why do we often feel so out of balance the rest of the month? Gynecologist Dr. Rebecca Booth created the Venus Week metaphor to help her patients better understand what influences the constant physical, emotional, and sexual changes they feel. Now, she reveals the surprising ways you can manage your body's weekly hormonal shifts to your best advantage, no matter what your age or stage in life. You'll discover how to: improve your chances of achieving--or avoiding--pregnancy; increase your energy and boost your libido; lessen the effects of the Minerva Phase: acne, irritability, weight gain and mood swings; feel less at the mercy of your hormones and more in control.--From publisher description.
