Publisher's Summary

Do you often feel overwhelmed, and in a daily battle to keep up? That you rarely get on top of your to-do list, and at times feel out of control and unable to cope? If so, you may be experiencing the first signs of rushing woman's syndrome....

Never before have women been in such a hurry to do so many things and be there for so many people. The pace of modern life has drastically increased - but even though our minds can go faster and technology allows us to get more done, our bodies still have cavewoman-like biology - which means they cannot respond healthily to the new and constant pressures we experience. In this book, nutritional biochemist Dr. Libby Weaver explains how a stressful, fast-paced lifestyle can have dangerous effects on all areas of a woman's health, including:

  • Nervous system - how an imbalanced nervous system may be causing you to gain weight and disrupting your sleep
  • Adrenal glands - why adrenal fatigue may be making you feel tired but wired
  • Reproductive system - how your daily stresses may be affecting your menstrual cycle or fertility
  • Digestive system - why stress could be at the heart of your bloating, cravings or unpredictable appetite
  • Emotions - how your emotional landscape holds the key to leading a fulfilling life without the need to rush

Inspired by Dr. Libby's clinical experiences and her empathy for women and the many roles they now juggle, this audiobook offers real solutions to restore your health so that you can stay both productive and healthy.

The narration was way too fast

For a book about rushing women, the narration was way too fast. It stressed me out rather than made me feel empowered.
Some good information in here but a few parts lost me when they moved into slightly woo woo territory, like imagining the moon from the moonlight filling my ovaries.

Made me feel even more rushed

The audio is soo rushed and flustered - not what I needed or wanted when I was feeling that way myself. I could not finish the book

Listen at 0.9 or a little below speed.

Great book. Generally things that some may already know, but it's good for reinforcing. The audio is a bit quick, but I found reducing it to 0.85/0.90 speed made the audio easier listening, and less "rushed".

This book made me realise I’ve been barking up the wrong tree regards my belly fat

I can see now that focusing on exercise and calorie restriction was never going to make a difference. It was the stressors in my life that had resulted in too much cortisol. It’s this excess cortisol that continues to instruct the body to hold onto fat and fluid - regardless of my efforts to loose weight.

I am so clear now on where to channel my attention so that my body feels safe and cortisol can return to normal levels.

It’s been two weeks since I’ve changed my focus and I can see the first tiny signs of less bulge around my middle. And most importantly I feel more calm and centred.

P.S. I had no issue with Libby’s voice.

Seriously Insightful

Thank you Dr Libby for putting this into an audiobook. The result of my RWS is that I can only find minimal time to read, but have plenty of time to listen.

Seriously incredible content!
