Health Advice For Hollywood And Women Mid/Post-Divorce-Author ...

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) January 15, 2006

Aniston-Pitt. Richards-Sheen. Simpson-Lachey. Romijn-Stamos. Hollywood is buzzing with divorce in the headlines, and while the world gawks at the ?news,? one vital thing is missing?. Health Advice for the over-stressed women of divorce who have even more stress if they are going through their divorce in the Hollywood spotlight. Emotional, mental/psychological, spiritual, physical and sexual health. Author, Amy Botwinick, Author of ?Congratulations on Your Divorce: The Road To Finding Your Happily Ever After? is pro-actively gathering a collective network of health professionals together to help share the message about the effects divorce can have on the mind, body and spirit. From promoting vibrators via her website http://www.divorcesextoys.com; to her book and the long list of resources and information at http://www.todaysdivorcedwoman.com, Botwinick?s mission of benefiting women?s shelters with the proceeds from book and product sales, while generating constant messages about health, safety and well-being is her own journey, as a divorced woman helping women. Dr. Joan Torgersen Magill, Licensed Psychologist/Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist/Certified Sport Psychologist describes Botwinick?s book as ?essential? for women considering or going through a divorce. ?As a stress management specialist, this clinician endorses her writings for the stress reduction possibilities, alone, though there is much else here, as well,? states Magill.

Botwinick explains how women going through divorce, like Jessica Simpson can benefit from stress reduction. ?Stress is a by product of a primitive instinct called ?fight or flight? that helped us escape dangerous situations during our prehistoric past. Women of divorce can range from young brides like Simpson, to women who have been married for years and into their fifties ? divorce does not differentiate by age or celebrity, especially when it comes to stress, effects on health and safety. I?m here to share information. If I had just five minutes with Jessica Simpson, I would tell her about sexual safety and stress, first and foremost. She has a stressful profession ? and particularly with her and Lachey going through their divorce in the ?Hollywood spotlight? ? added stress. If the level of stress created over a prolonged period of time is ignored, it can cause life threatening illness and symptoms that can create considerable consequences mentally and physically. In terms of sex ? we all commended Simpson for being a virgin when she got married, but not being married anymore doesn?t mean she has to deny her God-given sexual urges. That?s why vibrators are a safe-sex alternative, when emotionally healing during a divorce.?

While the message of safe sex is nota new one, it may be a message worth re-exploring for women of divorce, who have been in monogamous relationships with their spouse. ?As the divorced woman re-enters the dating scene, it is essential to realize that along with the excitement and pleasure found in a new relationship, there are potential dangers that accompany physical intimacy. There are roughly 70 million people infected with one of 25 sexually transmitted diseases. These diseases do not discriminate based upon age or marital status. However, transmission is almost always preventable. Be smart, be safe, and do not be afraid to consult your gynecologist for any questions regarding STD prevention,? states Dr. David Lubetkin,who is an OBGYN.

Botwinick as a divorced woman and as a chiropractor for twelve years, says she?s discovered many wonderful conventional and unconventional ways to heal on all levels. ?I have treated many chiropractic patients with physical symptoms resulting from stress resulting from divorce. Patient complaints included tension headaches, migraines, back pain, muscle tightness, TMJ, upset stomach, nervous twitches and more. . As a primary health care provider I believe every patient should have a team of traditional and alternative healing professionals available to them along their journey, especially as they transition through the uncoupling process,? states Botwinick.

Botwinick practices what she preaches. She sought out the help of Dr. Brian Sheen, Executive Director of The Quantum Healing Center, Delray Beach Florida ( http://www.spiritgrowth.com) for her own wellness and divorce recovery. ?Divorce is powerful time for personal reassessment to look within for healing and growth. Unless a deep search of the underlying issues that brought you into the relationship and then out of it are undertaken with professional direction, the chances are there will be piles of blame, regret and resentment that will distort and prevent a healthy relationship in the future,? states Sheen.

This first-time author shares her own journey in a helpful girlfriend-to-girlfriend conversational guide to help women through the divorce process and beyond. Botwinick is currently enjoying her ?happily ever after.? She is a divorced mother of two, and has been a chiropractor for the last twelve years and has held a teaching position at a local college. Her business for over a decade has been about listening, learning and helping others. Amy?s research and writing convey a directness and honesty that comes from personal experience.

There are over two million divorces in the U.S. each year. Cinderella?s prince charming has either turned into a toad or run off with Sleeping Beauty. Left in the pixie dust are millions of women looking in the mirror each morning wondering, now what? Congratulations on Your Divorce: The Road to Finding Your Happily Ever After (Health Communications, Inc.; December 2005; $ 12.95) by Amy Botwinick explores all facets of divorce: from making the decision, surviving the legal battles and getting on with life. Through the author?s own experiences and those of other women, Congratulations on Your Divorce prepares readers for the road ahead: how to get through the business of divorce with humor and aplomb, get beyond the bitterness and on to a healthy, happy life.

This is not another dry book about the process of divorce from a lawyer or psychologist. Congratulations on Your Divorce is fun and uplifting and for women only. The author shares her own struggles, emotional foibles and stories from others, to help the reader through her own emotions. A special section on the male perspective opens the door to the workings of the male mind, helping readers find some common ground with their ex or soon-to-be ex, making an easier transition to ?uncoupling.?

Sections of the book include: Making peace with your decision, taking stock of the financial situation, dealing with reactions from family and friends, the legal three-ring circus, forgiving and letting go, dating and new relationships, and telling and helping the children.

Congratulations on Your Divorce is a breath of fresh air that helps the reader transform her feelings of being trapped to feelings of empowerment. It describes the world of divorce?warts and all?with some much-needed comic relief and heart. The reader will realize she?s not alone as she learns how other women have coped with the emotional craziness of uncoupling, jettisoned their emotional baggage, and gotten back on the road to defining and finding their happily ever after.

How to read "Area 51"

Interested in picking up Anne Jacobsen's "Area 51"? Before you do, let me offer some advice.

It was the late Carl Sagan who popularized the oft-repeated maxim that, ?Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.? Unfortunately for readers, investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen?s new book Area 51 doesn?t just ignore Sagan?s advice; it attacks it with a chainsaw.

Skip to next paragraph

First, let me bring you up to speed. You know the 1947 Roswell Incident? The one where an alien spacecraft supposedly crashed into the New Mexico desert only to be recovered and hidden by the US government? Well, Jacobsen?s book says that contrary to all the loony conspiracy theories about aliens from outer space, there is a perfectly logical, straight-forward answer to the mystery and here it is:

The Roswell UFO was a secret German flying saucer that had been captured by the Soviets after World War II and crewed by kidnapped Russian children surgically engineered by Nazi mad doctor Joseph Mengle to resemble aliens and created with the goal of sowing terror and confusion in the US populace in order to facilitate a full on Soviet attack.

See? Simple!

At least according to Jacobsen it is. In supporting the theory, she cites ?Ockham?s razor,? the famous logic test that dictates that the simplest solution to a problem (or the one requiring the least additional information) is usually the correct one.

So, for those of you keeping score, Jacobsen is implying that German flying saucers controlled by Stalin and crewed by Nazi engineered mutant children is the simplest possible solution to the Roswell Incident. Much more straightforward than the convoluted story cooked up by the US government about how the incident resulted from a popped weather balloon.

All right, enough sarcasm.

What Jacobsen is really writing about is the story of Area 51 ? the much mythologized although never officially acknowledged secret US military installation in the Nevada desert. Speculation about the site has abounded for decades now. Jacobsen ? a contributing editor at the Los Angeles Times Magazine and an investigative reporter whose work has also appeared in The National Review and The Dallas Morning News ? claims to be ready to tell you the truth (about the aliens and much else.)

But beware. She doesn't.

Although ?Area 51? contains over 100 pages worth of end-notes and citations, all information, references and accounts relating to the UFO theory come from a single anonymous engineer, who allegedly worked for defense contractor EG&G on reverse-engineering the supposed flying saucer and its surgically altered crew. And that?s it. One. Single. Source.

Actually, that?s not entirely true. Upon reading ?Area 51??s end-notes, one finds that for many of Jacobsen?s claims, she rather fancifully cites ?educated speculation? as a source.

Patient / Public:

Healthcare Prof:

Research led by Dr. Melinda Sothern, Professor of Public Health and Jim Finks Endowed Chair in Health Promotion at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, has found that obese 7-9-year-old children had nearly three times the liver fat and almost double the belly fat of their nonobese counterparts and that insulin resistance was more than double and insulin sensitivity less than half respectively. The study is the first to use a combination of advanced measurements in healthy obese and nonobese children in this age group prior to entering puberty. The findings are detailed in the journal, Obesity, online August 25, 2011.

?The amount of body fat as well as its location, particularly in the liver, appears to play a critical role in disease development,? notes LSUHSC?s Dr. Melinda Sothern. ?The substantial variation in biomarkers we observed in these young children suggests that obesity in this age group may disrupt normal metabolism, impairing glucose tolerance and increasing the risk for Type 2 diabetes later in life.?

The researchers studied 123 children, ages 7-9, recruited from southeast Louisiana. By BMI z-score thresholds, 23.6% of the children were obese. Although a clear definition for the metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents has not yet been established, by one set of proposed criteria, 16% of participants met the definition, and 8% met the criteria by another definition.

?Our data confirm that healthy obese young children may already be predisposed to the development of metabolic disease as has been demonstrated in adult populations,? said Dr. Sothern. ?Our findings highlight the importance of interventions to prevent and manage obesity very early in life and suggest this is a possible means of reducing metabolic disease risk and combating the increasing prevalence of Type 2 diabetes.?

Over the past 30 years, the prevalence of obesity has increased considerably. Although a recent national report indicates a leveling off of this trend, a significant portion of the pediatric population remains obese and at risk for developing metabolic diseases, particularly those related to carbohydrate metabolism. Some regions, especially areas with traditionally higher obesity prevalence rates, however, may not mirror national estimates.

The research team also included Drs. Julia Volaufova, William Cefalu, Stuart Chalew, Stewart Gordon, and Arlette Soros as well as Brian Bennett at LSU Health Sciences Center; Drs. Eric Ravussin, and Steve Smith at LSU?s Pennington Biomedical Research Center, as well as Dr. Enette Larson-Meyer at the University of Wyoming; Dr. Bradley Newcomer at the University of Alabama at Birmingham; and Dr. Michael Goran at the University of Southern California.

The research was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health?s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disorders.
