      Menopause

      Despite its reputation, menopause is more than just some annoying phase that women go through. Like puberty, it is a physical marker that ushers you into a new stage of your life, and (like puberty) it requires time and information to understand all the changes. If you are a woman experiencing the hormone swings and changes that accompany menopause, then the more you know about what’s coming, the better you will be able to take charge of your transition.

      Although the basics of healthy menopause boil down to the basics of all healthy lifestyles — exercise, diet, sleep, and state of mind — this book explores them as they relate to your journey through that last reproductive hurdle. It offers you choices for improving your health and well being, and ideas for making menopause the beginning of an exciting and enriching time. You have a continuing opportunity for improving your life, and menopause is the perfect excuse to take stock and make the changes you’ve been meaning to make for years.

      The baby boomers have had an enormous impact on American life in their every stage of development. As children they required more and better schools; as young adults they redefined sexual expectations and intimacy; as a workforce they have changed the landscape of work environment; and it only stands to reason that they will change our collective outlook on getting older. With so many women approaching menopause, there will be more attention to this important stage of life, and there is already more research and information than ever before on women’s health over the lifespan. If you are approaching menopause or in the midst of it, you are in a lot of good company.

      Above all, you need support and knowledge. You need information that teaches you about menopause and that helps you make the right choices for you. Keeping your perspective during a time of hormone shifts and life changes is no small matter. And keeping your health as you move through menopause and beyond will make the transition not a dreaded ordeal, but rather the open door to the rest of your life.
