Menopause is only predictable in its unpredictability. When you combine widespread misconceptions, a paucity of research, and a culture of shame around women's bodies, it's no surprise that women are confused about what to anticipate throughout the menopausal transition and beyond.
Menopause is not an illness; it is a natural process, similar to puberty. And, like puberty, we should be informed about what's to come years in advance rather than leaving individuals on their own with uncomfortable symptoms and too much contradicting information, as is now the case. Knowing what is going on, why it is occurring, and what to do about it is both powerful and comforting.
Sincere and amusing, Dr. Jen dispels sexist views and demystifies menopause to provide what you truly need to know about:
Perimenopause * Hot flashes * Sleep disruption * Sex and libido * Depression and mood changes * Skin and hair problems * Outdated treatments * Breast health; weight and muscle mass; health maintenance screening;
This vital book, filled with practical, comforting information, will alter how women experience menopause—including how their lives might be even better as a result!
