She has interviewed researchers, doctors and experts on the subject, and injected her own experiences related to these up until now hidden and very special days. When you know how to take advantage of this natural high it can change the way you work, date, plan, eat, talk, sleep, negotiate and work out – every month. In this riveting, funny, shameless, and informative book you learn how you can make the most of your Super Week.
