How to Make the Right Decisions for the Rest of Your Life
Menopause information can be confusing: is menopause just a transitional stage of a woman's life or a time of increased risk of disease that needs intervention? After menopause, a woman faces the question of hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). Should she take HRT on a long term basis in the name of disease prevention or not?
Today's woman must educate herself about menopause and the risks and rewards of taking HRT, nutritional supplements, and homeopathic therapies. In this comprehensive book, Dr Carolle Jean-Murat covers the current needs and concerns of midlife women, empowering her readers to make the right decisions. With humour, candor and plain nontechnical language, Dr Jean-Murat addresses many concerns including how long should you stay on HRT, how to reevaluate your risks as you age, what lifestyle changes should you consider, and much, much more.
