The National Association of Baby Boomer Women is the only association devoted to addressing issues concerning 38 million of the healthiest, wealthiest, and best educated generation of women to ever hit midlife, baby boomer women.

Dr. Robin Miller and Dr. Janet Horn, www.smartwomanshealth.com, NABBW associates and medical health advisors/columnists since 2006, met on the first day of their fellowships at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1983. For three afternoons every week over the next two years, they had sour coffee, greasy food, and long chats at the hospital café. Despite their being on opposite coasts for most of their medical careers, their talks have continued for the past 25 years. Those girlfriend to girlfriend conversations between the two Baby Boomer women physicians inspired their new book The Smart Woman's Guide to Midlife and Beyond: A No-Nonsense Approach to Staying Healthy after 50, which was released September 1, 2008 by New Harbinger Publications.

They know, from their own experiences and from those of their patients, what the most pressing health-related questions are at this stage of life. Their book covers the spectrum of the maturing woman's health issues in the 21st century, focusing on the prevention of the most common diseases that occur as the body matures, and on the management of symptoms that may indicate a medical emergency. Not only are specific recommendations from the traditional medical field given, but the book also offers suggestions from the field of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM).

The authors have created a unique method, called "The 4 A's", that helps organize, simplify, and remember what is needed to stay healthy and active, and they show how to apply it to all of their recommendations throughout the book. The authors include stories about their own experiences with aging and those of their patients, as well as their personal regimens of everything from exercise and eating to skincare. A detailed suggested health maintenance schedule, a recommended reading list, and an extensive list of references are also included.

In addition, they have launched a website for the book, which includes a blog so that they can continue their chats with other women of their generation and older about health care issues.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT The Smart Woman's Guide to Midlife and Beyond:

"I have often wished that I had a doctor in my family to ask advice. If you have shared this desire, you'll love this book. It's a practical insider's guide to what maturing women need to be thinking about, and it's written as a concerned friend would discuss it with you. Drs. Horn and Miller have superb training and years of practical experience caring for women patients. It shows on every page of this excellent book."

--The Honorable Glenda Hatchett, star of the nationally syndicated television program, "Judge Hatchett" and author of Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say!

"More than no-nonsense, the authors' approach is accessible and even entertaining -- these are the doctor girlfriends you want to call because they know everything about the area of your concern - not only from practicing their profession but also from their own personal experiences."
--Robin Wolaner, founder/CEO of TeeBeeDee, an online network for people over 40, and founder of Parenting magazine

Teena Cahill, Psy.D.
Director, Wisdom & Beyond, LLC
www.teenacahill.com


Dr. Teena Cahill is an internationally acclaimed speaker, educator, and comic. She is host of "Wisdom and Beyond with Dr. Teena Cahill" seen on Verizon Cable Ch.45, host of the popular international radio show, "Nurturing the Nurturers" (www.webtalkradio.net) and author of the insightful, funny and inspiring book, "The Cahill Factor: Turning Adversity into Advantage".

Teena holds a Doctorate in Psychology, Masters in Counseling and Bachelors in Education. But, as a wife, care-giver, mother, step-mother, grandmother, and member of the sandwiched generation..... she "walks the walk" as much as she "talks the talk!!!"

Teena's husband, a former Marine Corps fighter pilot became disabled 16 years ago...seven years after they had married and combined kids, critters and careers! Five years ago Teena decided to take all she had learned in her life, both text book learning and real life living, and reach out to other women in the workplace who are trying to balance family and work. 

Teena loves to "Bust the Myth of Balance" and teaches how the better model for our lives is RESILIENCE. She shows how we are born tough with the ability to bounce back from adversity, and how it is on this platform of resilience that we build our greatest leadership! While we cannot stop change from happening ... Teena shows how we can make a choice to have a positive response, learn and grow from our tough times, and move from victim, to survivor and finally to the great leader that exists within each of us.

This year her hilarious and riveting presentations have been heard on three continents, she has spoken to people from over 50 countries and has been translated into over ten languages. At each event audiences leave laughing, learning, inspired and empowered...and asking for more! Quite often Teena makes arrangements for attendees to be guests on her radio and TV shows, and through an arrangement with her publisher (SterlingHousePublisher) books for her book signings may be purchased at a discounted price for fund-raisers.

"It has been one of my proudest moments to have Dr. Teena Cahill speak at my conference. Each year we attempt to find the best and that is exactly what Teena delivers. With a humorous look at life, a distinctly unique approach to women's issues and a strong, research-oriented array of teachings, Teena is a tremendous asset to our events and one person we love to rebook." J.K.

"Dr. Cahill impressed us with her delivery of relevant content in an eloquent
and energetic fashion. Dr. Cahill clearly understands the inner workings of the
workplace. She also has an acute knowledge of the need for "balance" in our
personal and professional lives." Y.C.
