Everything You Need to Know to Stay Healthy in the Decade Before Menopause.
The Essential Book for Every Woman Over 35.
You're in the prime of your life. As far as you know, the menopause could be years away. So why is your body sending you such weird messages? Irregular periods you haven't seen since your teen years; stubborn extra pounds you just can't shed; mood swings, irritability and worrisome memory glitches - these are just some of the symptoms that could indicate the perimenopause.
This book outlines the symptoms of the perimenopause, the change that precedes the menopause by up to ten years, and often remains undiagnosed by doctors. Dr Laura Corio explains why this subtle hormonal shift occurs, how to get your symptoms under control and the impact of stress and diet.
This accessible and reassuring book:
- Offers advice on safe and natural hormonal treatment
- Outlines effective alternative therapies and supplements
- Explains how the perimenopause affects fertility - and what to do if you want to get pregnant
- Describes what to do now to protect your breasts, uterus, bones and heart in the years to come
- Shows ways to combat cancer fears - and explains which tests you absolutely must have
- Draws on numerous case studies of women undergoing this change
