I am passionate about Women's Health and Wellness in general so as my friends and I are going through the menopause together it was decided that as I am also very passionate about helping people - it made huge sense to create a book on "Menopause". I have covered a vast area of all symptoms and causes, there is plenty of information on HRT, natural alternatives to HRT, herbs and supplements and much much more. It is very easy to read and understand with no diversions. I actually wrote it from a point of view of the very many ladies out there struggling to read and hold information in long enough to make sense of it whilst battling through living with the nasty brain fog and memory lapses. I am still going through the Pre-Menopause at the age of 50 and actually began the 'change' when I was 39 years young. I have worked with many doctors and have read masses of medical knowledge over the years so I have a wealth of information. It is also very useful and interesting to see how the opinions and beliefs of doctors vary when the subject of hormones and menopause is brought about. I also cover the topic on "Bio-Identical Hormones" which is a very interesting subject. Diet is very important whilst moving through the body's changes so you will find a ton of information on which foods are essential to eat to keep your hormones well-balanced. Once you have read the book - Could you please help the book by leaving your review? Thank-you. I do hope you enjoy it. If you would like more information so as to keep my book updated then please feel free to e-mail me at: [email protected] and I will be happy to help. 'We Women Rock!'
