Product Description
The menopause is one of life's certainties - what's less certain these days is how we might choose to approach it when it arrives. Until recently, HRT seemed to be the universal panacea. Now newer scientific evidence has begun to cast doubt on its efficacy and even its safety, and women everywhere are starting to rethink their options. But with a flood of conflicting messages from doctors and the media, trying to work out what the alternatives are, and what might be best for us is a headache in itself.
Now this comprehensive and reassuring guide gives the answers. Top gynaecologist Michael Dooley and leading health journalist Sarah Stacey offer a unique integrated approach, combining lifestyle measures with medical and/or complementary therapies in a plan that's individually right for you. Providing the most up-to-date research on HRT and alternative therapies, they steer a clear and unbiased course through the research findings and opinions, and show you how to make an informed decision on the pathway that best suits you.

I ordered this book yesterday and couldn't wait for it to arrive. Boy, was I not disappointed! Everything I wanted to know and more - I've only had it for 2 hours and I can't put it down! I wanted to know absolutely everything about what was happening to my body, how to cope with the changes and how to stay healthy and happy during this new phase in my life. My doctor was quite happy to pat me on the head and say "Keep taking the tablets and try to stay calm". Well, I wanted answers and this book had all the answers ... and more. I feel so much better for having read just a small bit of it - the best purchase I've made in a long time.

This book is brilliant. It is the best & most informative book I have read about the menopause.
It has an easy to read format that gives you all the information you need to be able to make informed decisions about how to deal with and manage the menopause successfully.
It covers everything from what is happening to your body and how to treat the symptoms, whether it is with HRT or alternative therapies, to eating healthy & exercise to the best ways to look after your skin, hair, & nails.
This books positive approach shows you, that there is life after the menopause,and you can look good & feel great about yourself.

Praise be! At last there is a book that makes you feel that going through the menopause isn't equivalent to contracting leprosy. No doom and gloom and crone-dom here, but really sensible, well-researched information and advice about every aspect of menopause and women's health generally.
You'll all love it, whether you're an alternative medicine fan or not. They don't diss HRT, but they do explain the facts in fantastic detail, with who should and shouldn't etc and what you can do instead for the dreaded hot flushes.
What I loved was the comforting notion that women can still look gorgeous after they've menopaused. They include all kinds of advice, from healthy eating, vitamins, exercise - great yoga poses - skincare, makeup and contraception for the post-menopausal woman.
Basically everything you need to know about how to survive for another 50 years without turning into an old bag.
If you are anywhere near your menopause I'd buy this book now. It's the ony one you'll ever need.
