For women living with heart disease
My hope is to help kick some collective female butt around here raise awareness of women’s heart disease – which kills more women than breast cancer does every year. In fact, heart disease will kill more women this year than all forms of cancer combined.
Black Heart Association is at the forefront of research, prevention, treatment, and education surrounding heart disease in the Black community.

The Irritable Male Syndrome: Understanding and Managing the 4 Key Causes of Depression and Aggression
by Jed Diamond
From the best-selling author of Male Menopause comes another life-transforming book for men-and the women who love them-on overcoming the mood and behavior changes caused by fluctuating male hormones. Jed Diamond presents the most up-to-date research from around the globe to reveal why so many normally loving husbands, fathers, and sons suddenly become irritable, angry, and withdrawn. He identifies the four common triggers of Irritable Male Syndrome (IMS)-fluctuating testosterone levels, biochemical imbalances, loss of masculine identity, and stress-and then shows how best to treat this condition that, research shows, affects up to 30 percent of males, especially those in adolescence and midlife.
