EVEXIAS Health Solutions founder’s first-of-its-kind book debunks the myths and misconceptions surrounding hormones in women and men

Southlake, Texas, September 28, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Over the past 15 years, Terri DeNeui, DNP, APRN, ACNP-BC, a board-certified nurse practitioner and founder of EVEXIAS Health Solutions, has been educating both her patients and fellow healthcare professionals about the new, cutting-edge medical advancements in hormone health while also dispelling common misconceptions surrounding the various treatment options. Now, Dr. DeNeui is set to empower readers to take control of their hormones with the release of her new book, “Hormone Havoc.” The Kindle version of the book is now available for purchase on Amazon and a hard-cover version will be available in October.  

“Hormone Havoc” stems from Dr. DeNeui’s deep-rooted passion for helping her patients by advancing the field of hormone health. She recognizes that hormones play a fundamental role in long-term health, the risk of chronic disease, as well as emotional and mental well-being. The book offers real-world tips to achieve and sustain hormone optimization at any age while debunking common myths such as “one-size-fits-all” treatment plans, the belief that hormone therapy is exclusive to women, concerns about increased cancer risks and more.

“When I first started my career as an emergency room nurse, far too often I would see patients come in and out of the ER, suffering from highly preventable conditions and leaving with only prescribed drugs to band-aid the symptoms,” expressed Dr. DeNeui. “As someone who has spent the last decade studying and treating patients with these symptoms, I’ve learned that we need to transform our healthcare model to prioritize disease prevention rather than disease management. This starts with creating a hub that patients and fellow healthcare professionals can reference to uncover the truths about hormone health and treatment options, which is exactly what this book is.”

“Hormone Havoc” is not just a book; it’s an invitation to embrace the power of hormonal balance and understand the power of hormone therapy. Key highlights include:

• Realizing and normalizing the fact that individuals don’t have to live with sleeplessness, low energy, diminished libido or mood swings. 
• Revealing practical methods to shield individuals from chronic illnesses. 
• Discovering actionable strategies that empower patients to proactively safeguard their health, effectively reducing the risk of chronic diseases and ensuring a healthier, happier life.
• Understanding that aging doesn’t have to be unbearable. Learning how to maintain youthful vitality, cognitive sharpness and overall wellness as individuals navigate the journey of aging.

“In the course of my own journey, I have worked with various practitioners, each contributing their unique expertise. However, it is Terri who has left an indelible mark on my life,” said Actor, Philanthropist and Women’s Health Advocate Kelly LeBrock. “Through her EVEXIAS Medical Centers and the EVEXIAS Healthcare Solutions providers she has trained, Terri has fostered places where individuals can find solace and healing, allowing them to transcend the chaos of ‘hormone havoc’ and discover what I call ‘hormone harmony’.”

What initially began as a memoir of Dr. DeNeui’s life, touching on her bootstrap journey to success, “Hormone Havoc” evolved into a powerful resource that not only reflects her personal experiences but also serves as a roadmap for others to embark on their own journeys to better hormone health. From first-hand patient encounters to her creation of the EvexiPEL Method, the only patented hormone replacement therapy pellet developed in an FDA-registered facility and formulated with triamcinolone, the book is expected to be nationally appreciated and to serve as a guide for hormone health initiatives within the medical community.

“Hormone Havoc”, published by Holland Robinson Agency, is now available for purchase on Kindle through Amazon. The official book launch celebration will take place on November 2 in Southlake, Texas, which will be an exciting opportunity for readers and healthcare enthusiasts to engage with Dr. DeNeui, gain valuable insights into hormone health, and celebrate this significant milestone in the field of healthcare and wellness.

An Immigrant Experience Through Poetry

MIAMI, September 14, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Released a month before Hispanic Heritage Month, Renzo Del Castillo’s “Still” is a collection of poems that reflects an all-too relatable tale for all immigrants.

After migrating to Florida from Peru as a child, Del Castillo built a life in a new country with a foundation forged in his native land, caught in the space between cultures. This led him to write “Still” [Indie Earth Publishing, $24.99], an exploration of the immigrant experience through reflections of memory and transition, an adaptation to new cultures and geographies through the ethnographic lens of Miami. His story, told in verse, is that of many immigrants.

“Still” is a collection of poems that focuses on the immigrant experience: a family’s journey from Lima, Peru to Miami, Florida as political refugees and asylum seekers and the impact that had on the life of a boy as he grew into a man.

“We left Peru when I was five because my family had received death threats from a terrorist organization. We went from being comfortable to starting from zero. I knew I would have to adapt to make a life worth living,” says Del Castillo.

As we enter National Hispanic Heritage Month, Still provides a read that is as timely as it is pertinent. With poems in three languages, the book looks to bridge the divide between cultures, highlighting Hispanics’ shared experience in his poetry. When the reader finds something to relate to in these pages, a dialogue starts and shows people aren’t that different underneath it all.

That heritage of terror and exile that sometimes underlies these poems gives them a sense of history within the lyric confusions of a single life. There is an intimate tone, used to remind the reader that imagination triumphs over, or sometimes through, adversity. “Still” was released July 30, 2023, and is available wherever books are sold (ISBN: 979-8988037996).

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Renzo Del Castillo holds a B.A. in English from University of Florida, specializing in Victorian Literature, and an M.A. in Mass Communications, specializing in Intercultural Communications. Del Castillo has been published in Literary Yard, the Acentos Review, the Scarlet Leaf Review, and the Ekphrastic Review. He lives in Miami, where his family also resides.

Exciting Changes for the Bay Area Book Festival as It Heads Into Its 10th Year

BERKELEY, Calif., September 12, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
The Bay Area Book Festival has elected three new members to its Board of Directors: Aya de León, Piper Kerman, and Aida Salazar. This exciting slate of members joins Board Chair Brooke Warner and Treasurer George Rehm to lead the festival into its next iteration in the aftermath of the resignation of Festival founder Cherilyn Parsons in 2023. 

The Bay Area Book Festival has been a cultural and literary mainstay of the Bay Area for the past nine years since its inception in 2014. Its headliner events have brought in speakers such as Roxane Gay; Rebecca Solnit; Gloria Steinem; Jason Reynolds; George Saunders; Ann Patchett; Christian Robinson; Tommy Orange; Anthony Doerr; Tayari Jones; Joan Baez; W. Kamau Bell; Kazuo Ishiguro; and many more. 

The festival’s dedicated staff and growing board will steer the festival into a future under new leadership. Managing Director of the Festival Samee Roberts will spearhead overall planning for the 2024 Festival, which involves scaling back in size while keeping intact everything that’s special and wonderful about this important community event, including diverse and inclusive panels, headliner events, and the family-friendly outdoor street fair.  

Next year will be the Festival’s 10-year anniversary, and it will take place, per usual, in Downtown Berkeley in either May or June 2024. “We are planning for a somewhat smaller footprint this year,” said Festival Chairperson Brooke Warner, publisher of She Writes Press, “and we’re doing everything in our power to ensure that the Festival will be as special and well-attended as it’s always been.” Warner highlighted that by many measures, both in terms of programming and anecdotally by way of attendee feedback, the 2023 Festival was the most successful yet. Because this is a transition year, a scaled-back Festival will allow the board to adapt in Parsons’ wake. “We’re committed to continuing the legacy that Cherilyn left us, and this new slate of board members makes me feel confident that we’ll be able to do just that.”

Incoming board member Aya de León said, “This festival is a precious resource in a world where independent literary institutions are struggling. Stepping onto the board is an opportunity to provide accessible literary community to the Bay Area, to highlight urgent issues in our time, and to celebrate books, authors, reading, and community. I am excited to give back to this community.”

The Bay Area Book Festival invites the community to support its efforts for the 2024 Festival by becoming a sponsor, donating or volunteering. Find the Festival’s video and podcast archives.

Who is Nika Nikoubin? A Bloody Las Vegas Hotel Story is not just another True Crime story but a powerful testament to resilience and authenticity, set to captivate readers worldwide. In a compelling narrative, this book takes readers on an intimate journey through Nika’s life, from her childhood in Iran to her pursuit of dreams in the United States and the night that unfolded in a Las Vegas hotel room.

Following Nika Nikoubin’s final court hearing in Las Vegas, certain media outlets and online comments presented a distorted narrative, failing to capture the full spectrum of Nika’s life experiences and the hurdles her mental health struggles posed. “The incident in Las Vegas, which has been subject to misconceptions, was solely rooted in mental health struggles and bears no connection to any political motives or affiliations,” states Nika. “My autobiography is an opportunity to provide an authentic perspective beyond sensationalized narratives.”

Publication Date: August 31, 2023

ISBN (Paperback): 979-8-218-26706-3

ISBN (Ebook): 979-8-218-26707-0

Billionaire business mogul and philanthropist Dr. Trisha Bailey, the ultimate overcomer, will embark on a multi-city book tour this fall for her motivational memoir “Unbroken: The Triumphant Story of a Woman’s Journey,” with visits to cities including New York, Atlanta, and LA. Bailey’s message to aspiring entrepreneurs and survivors of abuse is “Let your healing fuel your success.”

“Unbroken: The Triumphant Story of a Woman’s Journey,” chronicles the personal and professional tragedies and triumphs of 46-year-old Dr. Trisha Bailey – from her humble beginnings in Jamaica, to her transformative ability to overcome abuse and channel her trauma to become a self-made billionaire in the United States.

Bailey emigrated to the U.S. at 13 years-old and grew up in Hartford, Connecticut where she attended middle school and high school, emerging as a track star and competing throughout the country, including in the Junior Olympics. She attended University of Connecticut on a sports scholarship. Following graduation, she accepted a position at Salomon Smith Barney where, at age 22, she became the youngest stockbroker in the history of the company. She later transitioned into pharmaceutical sales before branching out as an entrepreneur.

As a survivor of abuse and trauma, Bailey courageously and candidly reveals in “Unbroken” the painful experiences that have fueled her success. While recovering from an eight-day coma after attempting to take her own life, Bailey was traveling through the airport in a wheelchair, her vocal cords clipped due to the emergency. The experience of her treatment in the airport by strangers in-transit, as a disabled person, served as the catalyst for her next big idea, and helped define her purpose: to work for the benefit of the helpless and those in need.

Bailey’s Medical Equipment and Supplies was founded in 2011, to serve as a distributor of medical supplies for patients within the Medicare system.  It has become one of the most lucrative regional distributors of its kind. Since then, Bailey has founded 15 additional companies, including Bailey’s Pharmacy, with 46 locations in seven states, and Bailey’s Real Estate, a global real estate development and investment company. She owns stakes in three NBA teams; Charlotte Hornets, Phoenix Suns, Atlanta Hawks and in 2022, she achieved a milestone few people reach in their lifetime – becoming a billionaire. “I often tell people, you don’t always have to find your purpose, sometimes it finds you.”

Her life experiences also inform the spectrum of Bailey’s philanthropic giving which includes non-profit organizations supporting STEM education, youth empowerment, and single mothers such as: The United Foundation of Central Florida, and National Cares Mentoring Movement.

Bailey hopes the takeaway for people who read “Unbroken,” is that they can transform any trauma they’ve faced into the strength they need to actualize their dreams – if they can learn to believe and invest in themselves. “My grandmother used to say, ‘Dream so big that not even you can imagine it coming true. Now…dream bigger.'”

“UNBROKEN: The Triumphant Story of a Woman’s Journey” is available for purchase on AMAZON.
