Overview

"You feel tired, overwhelmed, anxious, unsexy and often just plain cranky - maybe you just 'Feel Like Crap' and life is not fun anymore? Add to that; you're totally frustrated with your weight. You've tried everything but failed, so you tried again, and you failed again. This pattern really starts to do your head in and makes you feel like a failure, and you just want to give up as you start to fall into a downward spiral of low self-worth. Maybe you've even been to your doctor and been told: ""I've run a few tests and they are all normal, so maybe you just need an anti-depressant "". Maybe you have a young family and feel you are 'running out of cope', or you're heading for menopause and dreading it? Women have a more difficult time with their hormones than men, simply because you have a monthly cycle, driven by the ebb and flow of your sex hormones. But more importantly, because your hormonal response to stress is very different from men's. This book reveals the most recent science, which women deserve to know, in everyday language. It explains the WHY and HOW, to empower you to 'Take Charge of Your Happiness, Bellyfat and Sexiness. The science of women all in one place. Learn how you can control the impact of hormonal processes on your brain, and the way your body responds to changes in body chemistry - particularly your stress, thyroid and sex hormones. David peels away the mythology and folklore and traces the real keys to women's wellness back in time, to when our bodies developed powerful hormonal systems to ensure excess food was stored for emergencies - as fat! This book is David's way of sharing his knowledge to empower you with the resources to 'Take Charge' of the three fundamental factors driving your health. These are - what you eat, the toxicity in your body and the toxicity in your mind. He details a 9 - 21 day 'Rapid Reset' lifestyle plan to use a ketogenic diet to turn on your bodies ability to easily burn fat to power up your body and brain - become 'fat adapted'. This gifts you 'metabolic flexibility' so you can burn either fat or carbs, so you do not become the weirdo ""who can't eat anything on the menu"". You will not find all this information in one place anywhere else or get it from your doctor. For most people, a few simple changes can make a significant change in the way you feel within a few days. As a research scientist with 48 years experience, David Musgrave has spent the last 30 years studying food, nutrition, and how a woman's hormone system works."

Thanks so much, this has changed my life - Hannah Dunn, Rolleston, NZ It is a great inspirational book that makes so much sense. It inspired me to look at myself and take charge of my health, and I'm doing just that with positive results. I am so pleased I went on this journey, many thanks for sharing your knowledge with me . Ken Billing, Palmerston North, NZ The book is very informative, the fast is very hard to achieve, but the results are AMAZING. It really is worth all the effort; it changes your body and your mind . Clara Camargo, Nelson, NZ I have misplaced 10 kg since I started reading the book and then the reset. Have no plans to find it. Feeling really good, lots of energy and finding coping with winter mud on farm easier. Sleeping heaps better but still have mind detox to master. The best thing for me is that it is adaptable. It has been interesting that the good choices come easily now. My body is telling me what I need, not my brain. It's a lifestyle for me now and looking forward to the future . Dinah Osborne, Ashburton, NZ From New Readers: A 5 Star Read - I was completely absorbed and felt this book was written about me! How did I get to the age of 45 and not know about the effect of food on my hormones! It made such sense as to why that belly fat wont shift and how the foods we eat effect the emotions we experience as women. I've implemented some of the changes to my diet and lifestyle and am definitely feeling the benefits already. If you are ready to finally take charge of your life and reset your hormones then this is the book for you. Adele UK This Book Changed My Life - My journey started when I discovered this book. I read part way through, and had to put it down. There were so many lightbulb moments I just cried and cried. I then started to get tests done and then wham, I started to find things I didn't know. I am so grateful that I found this book. It probably will save my life... Julie Coward, Dunedin, NZ Bloody Hell - I picked it up with some scepticism and found I could not put it down. It is easy to understand and can be read in small bites and picked up again and again as suits. It makes more sense than any other wellness book I have ever read. Completely unexpected. Judy McAuliffe NZ (Spirit Magazine) I Predict This Will Be THE HEALTH Go To Book Within the Next Few Years! - This is one of those books I wish was available to me years ago. I can't wait to take charge of my health and well being. I am a 62 year old woman, who is over weight and diabetic. I also have FLC syndrome (feel like crap)! Tomorrow I'm starting my reset eating regime recommended in this book. Empowering Book - Highly Recommended - This book is spot on! Informative information that is written in such a way that I can relate to the content. Full of practical ways to implement chance into daily living to increase health and longevity. The author has a great sense of humor which I really appreciate.

Author Information

"David understands menopause better than many - at 72 he is just starting to experience his third. When a woman from a past relationship was in a very menopausal state, she told him ""I am going to have to go on to HRT in spite of the risks, otherwise I will probably kill someone, and that's most likely to be you"". That worked for him as an incentive to find out a whole lot about women's hormones, and within a couple of weeks, she was on a supplement of natural progesterone and other products. By then she was feeling fantastic and ""like she was in the second trimester of pregnancy"". The scientist in him wanted to know how and why this had happened, and why so many women really struggle around menopause and their periods - which is something that just happens naturally in hunter-gather populations. When he was working as a research scientist in agriculture, David quickly discovered that he has a knack of being able to combine information from a wide range of sources into a whole (often new) concept. During his research on woman's hormones, he discovered techniques to completely disappear his own quite severe prostate issues (which has similar hormonal origins). The books he was reading on woman's health often did not reflect the latest science as he understood it, so he decided to use his research skills to bring to you the science that women deserve to know, by writing his first book - Take Charge of Your Happiness, Bellyfat and Sexiness - A Woman's Rapid Reset for Body, Mind and Hormones. When David was in his early 40s, his youngest son had a bad reaction to his MMR immunisation at the age of two and ended up with severe eczema and food allergies, and trying to scratch himself bleeding day and night. Two and a half years later somebody gave him a bottle of imported flaxseed oil, saying, ""it's really good for the skin"". That turned out to be the understatement of the year, and within a couple of days, Oliver's eczema was almost magically better. Again, David wanted to know how and why this had happened, so he started avidly reading the research literature about flaxseed oil. What he learned convinced him to start taking it himself, and was amazed at the rapid improvements in his energy levels and skin, and just how well he felt all the time. He quickly decided to start his own company to bring the benefits of good tasting flaxseed oil to New Zealand. So for the past twenty-seven years, he has been studying nutrition, and more recently, how a woman's hormone system works so that he can design and manufacture food products that support wellness. If you would like to find out more about David's products please follow this link www.waihibush.co.nz David lives on his 110 ha Waihi Bush Organic Farm in Canterbury, New Zealand, with Lara, his partner of 8 years, her two teenage sons and their beloved dog, Pippin and lots of other animals. He has 4 sons and a stepdaughter and the whole family are musical - two of the children are international performers. For twenty years David and his family ran a popular music festival on the farm. Davids busy life doesn't allow much time for hobbies, but he is a passionate skier and loves to dance. The farm has a 15 ha area of virgin rain forest containing many 1000-year-old trees. David still owns and is actively involved in his functional food company and farm, where he grows flax and raises organic cattle. David's book will take you on a journey of discovery that will change your whole outlook on life. For a 50 page read see www.ITookCharge.nz/book/look-inside"
