For years, women have been led to believe that a) thinner = more attractive and b) in order to attain or maintain this body type, we must eat less and exercise more. Heeding this advice has resulted in many women being unhappy and struggling with body image issues, infertility, moodiness, fatigue and still not managing to lose excess weight ... and sometimes gaining even more!

 

What's worse is this behaviour is causing damage to women's long-term hormonal health, contributing to issues such as under-active thyroid, obesity, pre-diabetes, PCOS, heart conditions and depression.

 

Kate Callaghan understands this all too well. For years, she exercised like a maniac and restricted her daily food intake to less than 1400 calories. She was a bundle of muscle at 13% body fat and a six-pack to boot. She looked healthy, with many saying she had the 'ideal body'. However, she lost her period, was infertile and struggled with deteriorating bones mass. As a health professional, she was horrified by what she had done to herself, so she set about reconstructing her health using the process she shares in Holistic Nutrition.

 

In a down-to-earth and conversational manner, Kate demystifies the science behind female hormones and how they are affected by diet, exercise and stress. She explains why low-carb diets are likely to hinder rather than help most women achieve optimum health and offers many alternatives on how to eat and exercise instead. Kate offers solutions to very common problems such as how to lose excess body fat, build muscle, reduce bloating, sleep better, increase energy and not worry all the time about what to eat. Best of all, Kate outlines the ways women can help nourish their bodies to not only look good, but also feel confident and beautiful in their own skin.

Industry Reviews

'Holistic Living is a must read for any woman. Kate makes understanding the body (especially hormones) easy and most importantly she provides the actions we all should take to reach our optimal health. With so much information being thrown at us, it's so refreshing to have all we need to know in one place and feel confident that we're making positive decisions with our nutrition and lifestyle.'

- Carla and Emma Papas (The Merrymaker Sisters)


'Hormone health and ditching diet and fitness fads is the (refreshing!) future of wellness. Kate is on the cutting edge of this, walking her talk.'

- Sarah Wilson, author of I Quit Sugar


'This book is so easy to read, full of home truths and simple steps to help you adjust your approach to nutrition and training in order to get your gut and hormones on track, manage stress, improve fertility and ultimately, embrace your femininity. I loved it from the very first chapter!'

- Libby Babet, fitness professional and founder of Agoga and BFU Girls


'Kate has poured her wealth of knowledge and expertise into this book focusing on hormone health. Her 'easy to understand' approach and explanation allows for many ah-ha moments!'

- Alison Morgan, Health & Wellness Business Coach, www.relauncher.com.au


'Kate takes a truly holistic and evidence-based approach to helping women eat, move, and live in a way that supports their healthiest hormones... Instead of claiming to know the "perfect" diet and exercise plan we should all follow for optimal health, Kate recognizes that there are many different ways to eat that can all support a woman's health and there is no one-size-fits-all plan...'

- Laura Schoenfeld, MPH, RD, http://www.ancestralizeme.com


'This book is for any woman who wants to optimise their health...Kate provides solid scientific information that is threaded with personal experience, adding in humour that anyone who has read her first book has come to expect. Kate keeps it real with her recommendations, and the take home messages in each chapter are practical and realistic ... '

- Mikki Williden, PhD Registered Nutritionist, www.mikkiwilliden.com


'In Holistic Living Kate Callaghan offers a clear, easy to follow guide to wellness for women...It's an amazing resource for all women wanting to look and feel better, but particularly to those facing issues with conceiving, weight loss/gain, fatigue and general hormone imbalance (even or especially to those women having these problems that already consider themselves "healthy")... I love this book and will be recommending it to all of my friends and followers.'
