Publisher's Synopsis
Do you fear that growing old means being trapped in a body filled with aches, pains, sags, and losses? Too many of us do - especially women. Though our youth-obsessed society is partly to blame, Dr. Susan Sands explains there is a deeper and unrecognised factor: we have never really gotten to know our bodies, to sense and feel our bodies from the inside out. With 'The Inside Story', she offers a much-needed guide for helping us understand, befriend, and support our bodies as we grow older. Without downplaying the real challenges we face as we age, Dr. Sands offers a wealth of case studies, interviews, and scientific findings to rewrite the common cultural beliefs that put us at odds with our own bodies.
