Merging the latest science with the combined experience of its three expert authors: NHS doctor Bella Smith, sports research scientist Dr Emma Ross and athletic coach Baz Moffat, The Female Body Bible busts the myths and taboos that persist around women's bodies.

This isn't just a book, it's a movement - a call to action. Every woman deserves to know more about her body and everyone, regardless of their sex, needs to know more about women's bodies to remove the vestiges of secrecy and shame once and for all. This is the playbook for getting the most out of your body, offering strategies for you to find out what works best for you.

Instead of prioritising how a body looks, we need to focus on how it feels and functions. When we listen to our body, understand how it works and embrace and nurture it, health, fitness and well-being follows.

Finally, fitness advice that women can trust ... Drawing on science and their experiences, this formidable trio have produced a furious, taboo-busting book. * The Times *
This book is wonderfully empowering, it has given me huge insight into how my body works and how I can help myself be stronger, fitter and healthier. My only wish is I could have had it as a teenager when I very sadly gave up competitive swimming because I didn't like the way it made me look, and had no clue how immensely important it was to me both physically and mentally. I can't wait to give it to my daughters, so they don't make the same mistake. * Louise Minchin, journalist and author of Dare to Tri *
Baz, Bella and Emma are my go-to experts and with The Female Body Bible, they can be yours too. * Judy Murray, tennis coach *
You need this book! Itpioneersa much-needed revolution for women's bodies. * Maisie Hill, author of Period Power *
Fantastic! It's about everything we need to be knowing about where in our cycles that we should be exercising, which sort of exercise, when. * Woman's Hour *

Dr Bella is a fantastic GP who works in the NHS and is passionate about lifestyle,
women's health and providing reliable, evidence based information. She is colleague, a friend and somebody whose information I would trust!

Every female athlete, every coach of female athletes, and everybody in between needs to get involved with the amazing team at The WellHQ.

The Eve Appeal is a gynaecological cancer charity and we have worked with Bella for over 4 years. She's a trusted and serious voice - but equally effectively engages with a group of teenagers on menstrual wellbeing or group of 50+ on the impacts of the menopause and how to manage it. * Athena Lamnisos, CEO, The Eve Appeal *

I first worked with Baz after giving birth to my daughter and she was a really great coach to work with... with sport being such a big part of my life, I knew it was important to address any post-natal issues I had, to give me the best chance of being able to enjoy sport for the rest of my life.

What has been so rewarding working with Emma Ross is how she was able to make any audience be prepared to think differently when it came to the development and support of the female athlete. * David Faulkner OLY: Head of Performance, The FA, Women’s Professional Game, Para and Futsal Team Leader GB Women’s Football – Tokyo 2020 Olympics *
We have thoroughly enjoyed working on this project (The Well HQ) and long may it continue. * Professor Joanna Wakefield Scurr, University of Portsmouth *

'The webinar you ran for our colleagues must be one of the most, if not the most, well received event of its kind that we've had at Tate! In the follow-up survey we sent around to staff, the session received an average star rating of 4.7 out of 5.'

* Fleur Kaminska: Learning & Development Coordinator, Tate Britain *
I was blown away by the learnings I took from the SmartHER workshop, hearing from the incredible experts in the field of female health and sport was amazing and it's so exciting that there is such potential still to be discovered by increasing our knowledge of the impact of female health on not only sporting performance but in our everyday lives! The landscape is certainly changing and with Dr Emma Ross and the team driving it the future looks incredible bright for females in every sport and at every level. * Emma Wiggs, MBE, Paralympic gold medallist *
The Female Body Bible delivers on its promise, and leaves no stone unturned! Comprehensive, relatable, and empowering - this book is a fantastic resource for women everywhere. I'll be recommending it far and wide. * Dr Hannah Short, GP Specialist in Menopause, POI & Premenstrual Disorders and Co-author of The Complete Guide to POI and Early Menopause *
