Reviews
I highly recommend this wonderful book which tells one woman's journey from puberty to menopause and beyond. It is beautifully written and inclusive, explaining how the menopause transition affects all of us. It leaves you feeling elated and excited about your future as a woman.
It covers everything my patients ask me about and what I try to include in my talks.
Every individual's menopause experience is unique. Katie has had a wild rollercoaster of a hormone journey throughout her life - one that transformed her after the menopause transition! In this book she draws on her own menopause experience and of those who she talks to and trains and shares strategies to overcome the challenges that one may encounter.
As the chapters in the book unfold, readers will have a better understanding of what menopause is, when and why it happens, what the menopause symptoms are, how to manage them and the impact of the transition on long-term health. The book will leave the readers empowered to have conversations about menopause with people around them and manage their menopause so that they can make the right choices to live their life to the fullest!
