Understand how stress really affects the female body and learn practical, evidence-based ways to build improve wellbeing and advocate for your health.

Women's bodies handle good and bad stress differently from men's, yet much of medical research has historically focused on a 'standard' male body. As a result, important differences in how stress presents in women have often been overlooked, contributing to issues such as higher rates of heart attacks and an increased risk of insomnia.

In this bright, visually rich manual, GP and women's health advocate Dr Theshanka Hibbert explains the science of stress through clear explanations and inclusive anatomical illustrations. Learn:

  • What stress is and how it affects the female body.
  • Why women experience stress differently from men.
  • How stress can contribute to symptoms such as insomnia, aches and pains, high blood pressure, digestive issues, skin concerns, and perimenopause.
  • The links between stress and key body systems, including the brain, heart, hormones, immune system, gut, and reproductive health.
  • Practical, positive strategies to support self-care.

Empowering and accessible, Stronger Still is an essential handbook for any woman who wants to better understand her body and take informed steps towards a healthier, more resilient future.
