The Integrated Approach to Feeling and Looking Good Through Menopause - and Beyond.
The menopause looms like a dark cloud over many women's lives, a storm of potential problems from hot flushes and night sweats to dry skin, wrinkles and the end of femininity. Until recently, HRT was seen as the universal panacea, but new research casts doubt on its safety and effectiveness. With the flood of conflicting messages, how do you know what's right for you?
All the answers are in this comprehensive guide. Consultant gynaecologist Michael Dooley, who has looked after menopausal women for more than two decades, and health journalist Sarah Stacey, who sailed through it on a mix of complementary therapies, explain your choices in every area.
They take you through the most up-to-date research findings and opinions giving you an unbiased assessment of HRT and complementary therapies so you can make your own decision. There's simple advice and solutions for troublesome symptoms, including hot flushes (yes, you can stop them without HRT), night sweats, insomnia, low mood, weight gain and sexual problems. You'll find advice on diet and exercise, contraception and fertility, even beauty, as well as preventing the diseases of ageing. Plus - for younger women - advice on planning ahead.
'Your Change, Your Choice' is essential reading for every woman who wants to manage this stage of life in the best possible way. (And come up smiling!)
