| Summary: | Menopause is not simply a collection of physical symptoms to be " fixed," Dr. Northrup claims, but a mind/body revolution that brings the greatest opportunity for growth since adolescence. The choices a woman makes now--from the quality of her relationships to the quality of her diet--have the power to secure her health and well-being for the rest of her life. Dr. Northrup shows: how menopause jump-starts changes in the brain, issuing a dramatic wake-up call to body, mind, and emotions; how to ensure the long-term health of breasts, bones, and heart; how the body adjusts naturally to changing hormones; why bestselling drugs like Premarin may not be the best choice; how to deal with metabolism shifts, weight gain, sexual problems, and appearance issues; how to negotiate the challenges of "the empty nest" and midlife marriage; and much more.--From publisher description. |
