Menopause is a point in life that encourages women to take stock of where they are and where they are going. If you take advantage of the transition, as the author suggests, it can be liberating. She presents several important strategies to navigate menopause and enrich your life. Many of them are useful no matter where you are in the life cycle.
Hormones and whether to consider hormone replacement therapy is a decision everyone needs to make. No matter what your preference, it’s good to be informed. The author presents the latest guidance to give you a basis for making your decision.
Health problems can surface at this age, and it’s also a good time to kick bad habits and become healthier in the next phase. Exercise and getting enough sleep are important for making the upgrade a premium experience. The author also points out that it’s a good time to evaluate how you respond to various situations. Do you have trouble saying ‘no’? Are you afraid to let go of your adult children? These are questions that will affect the rest of your life.
I thought the book was well written. It gives good advice, but it’s probably not for everyone. If you don’t experience the problems she’s discussing, it may not resonate with you. Many of her examples are from her own life or her patients. This is fine, but if you don’t experience the same problems, they may seem interesting, but not related to where you are.
I received this book from Penguin Random House for this review.
