Description
Forget the myths and misinformation, respected health writer Nicky Pellegrino has done the work for you in this empowering and honest book. It includes the latest research on everything from hormone replacement therapy to natural therapies and hot flushes, and the lowdown on how menopause can affect everything from your weight to your memory and sleep, to skyrocketing anxiety levels and your missing libido.
In this wonderfully candid, warm, and witty investigation into the realities of menopause, Nicky shares her own insights into this often-challenging phase of life and interviews the experts for the latest, credible research on the many options out there to help women make the right choice for themselves.
Taking an upbeat approach to managing 'the change', Don't Sweat It will help reshape how women experience menopause and perimenopause and show how life can be even better for it.
