You’ve read what the doctors have to say about menopause. You’ve heard the experts speak about “the change” on TV talk shows. Now it’s time to listen to the women themselves. Women at the Well: The Many Voices of Menopause is the only book of its kind to provide a voice for women on the printed page. In this compelling book, women share their firsthand stories of what it’s like – physically, emotionally and spiritually – to experience perimenopause and menopause. These are the “women at the well” who stand in a united circle to draw the healing waters of wisdom to share with others. And what they tell us is both heart-warming and heart-rending. They want us to know their struggles. They want us to know what has helped them and what hasn’t. They want us to know that menopause is a natural biological process and that they are not crazy. Most of all, they want other women to know that they are not alone. Informative and highly readable, these 33 narratives take us into the personal lives of these ordinary and extraordinary women who share their journeys through this critical life passage. They tell us what it’s like physically and dispel the myth that all women have hot flashes and mood swings. While some do experience these symptoms, others don’t. “One size does not fit all” when it comes to menopause. As Catharine, one of the women in the book, states, “Often I would feel like a chained horse in the starting gate right before the big race. High anxiety would just come over me. Twice I had to ask my husband to leave a restaurant because I became so anxious and just couldn’t sit there any longer.” Or as Michelle shares, “The memory loss has been the most difficult for me. Downright embarrassing. I would be in the middle of a conversation and forget what I was saying. The night sweats got somewhat better . . . but now they are getting worse again.” But even as these women share their physical and emotional struggles, they manage to find hope and laughter, as Dee Adams writes. The creator of the world famous mid-life cartoon, “Minnie Pauz,” she shares, “The most valuable thing I have is my sense of humor and I hope to share it with as many women as possible. It really does help to laugh at ourselves . . . things DO improve. I promise!” Or as Dr. Larrian Gillespie, author of many books including The Menopause Diet, writes, “One day you’re feeling fine and the next day your discover a suicide note from your ovaries on the side of a box of Tampax!” As these women open their hearts, we also learn about other mid-life challenges occurring at the same time as menopause – divorce, caring for aging parents, dealing with an empty nest and looking ahead to their own aging and retirement. While ultimately a woman must make her own decision as to treatment to help alleviate symptoms, these women tell us what has worked for them and what hasn’t. Not intended as medical advice, these options range from hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to natural herbs and products. For any husband, significant other, family member or co-worker who can’t seem to understand the menopausal woman in their lives, this book will help. Medical and mental health professionals will also gain greater insight about women’s menopausal experiences in these accounts. Even more important, perimenopausal and menopausal women – or those women about to enter these stages – will find support and validation in these stories. At this nurturing well of firsthand information and wisdom, they will find hope. There, they will hear the "many voices of menopause."

Dr. Christiane Northrup’s #1 New York Times bestseller The Wisdom of Menopause has inspired more than a million women with a dramatically new vision of midlife—and will continue to do so for generations to come. As Dr. Northrup has championed, the "change" is not simply a collection of physical symptoms to be "fixed," 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 vibrant health and well-being for the rest of her life. Now completely revised, this groundbreaking classic draws on the current research and medical advances in women’s health, and includes: • a new section on sex after 50—and how, if need be, you can rejuvenate your sex life; • updated mammogram guidelines—and how thermography improves breast health; • the latest on the glycemic index, optimal blood sugar levels, and ways to prevent diabetes; • dietary guidelines revealing that hidden sugar—not dietary fat—is the main culprit in heart disease, cancer, and obesity; • all you need to know about perimenopause and why it’s critical to your well-being; • a vital program for ensuring pelvic health during and after menopause; • strategies to combat osteoporosis and strengthen bones for life. With this trusted resource, Dr. Christiane Northrup shows that women can make menopause a time of personal empowerment—emerging wiser, healthier, and stronger in both mind and body than ever before.

Menopause: New Directions. No two women go through menopause in exactly the same way. One experiences hot flashes that will melt steel; other suffer chills - or one of 50 other possible mental or physical changes. In the past, most women confronted by menopause had two choices: Suffer the symptom (usually in silence), or take a hormone pill. But thanks to the startling findings of the Women's Health Initiative Study, which concluded that the potential health hazards of using Prempro, an estrogen-progesterone, combination, outweighed its benefits, and the subsequent National Toxicology Program's classification of estrogen as a carcinogen, women - and their doctors - have been thrown into turmoil.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • For women approaching or in menopause, a revolutionary diet and holistic lifestyle program for easier weight loss, better sleep, diminished hot flashes, a clearer head, and a rejuvenated sex drive. “Hormone balance is within reach, and this is the definitive guide for reaching that goal.”—David Perlmutter, MD, author of Grain Brain As women approach menopause, many start to experience the physical and emotional indignities of hormonal fluctuation: metabolic stall and weight gain, hot flashes and night sweats, insomnia, memory loss or brain fog, irritability, low libido, and painful sex. Too often, doctors tell us that these discomforts are to be expected and that we will have to wait them out during “the change”; some of us even agree to be unnecessarily medicated. But Dr. Anna Cabeca’s research and experience with thousands of her patients show that there is a fast-acting and nonpharmaceutical way to dramatically and permanently alleviate these symptoms. The Hormone Fix introduces Dr. Cabeca’s unique Keto-Green protocol, a plan that pairs the hallmarks of ketogenic (low-carb/high fat) eating with diet and lifestyle changes that bring the body’s cellular pH to a healthy alkaline level. The proven result: balanced cortisol and reduced output of insulin, the hormones most responsible for belly fat and weight gain, plus an increase in oxytocin, the “love and happiness” hormone. Whether you are perimenopausal, menopausal, or postmenopausal, The Hormone Fix offers an easy-to-follow program, including • a 10-day quick-start detox diet to jump-start weight loss and reduce symptoms immediately • daily meal plans and weekly shopping lists to take the guesswork out of a month’s worth of Keto-Green eating • 65 delicious and easy-to-make recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, smoothies, and soups • detailed information on vitamin and mineral supplementation that optimizes hormone balance • simple self-assessments and recommended optional lab testing for a better understanding of your hormonal status • tested and trusted stress-reduction and oxytocin-amplifying advice and techniques With The Hormone Fix you can expect to trim down, tap into new and unexpected energy levels, enhance intimacy, and completely revitalize your life! Ready for your fix? “The Hormone Fix is a treasure trove of accurate and user-friendly information that all women who are suffering during menopause need to know and apply.”—Christiane Northrup, MD, author of The Wisdom of Menopause
