Dr. Emily Kane sets out to banish the current myths about menopause, making the important point that menopause is not a disease condition that requires medical intervention. It is instead, she says, a natural transition to be approached as a new type of freedom. Symptoms of hormonal change in the perimenstrual periods, mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats, bone and hair loss, and foggy thinking are covered and practical, natural, non-pharmaceutical solutions provided. Part Two of the book recommends useful natural solutions, including bio-identical hormones, ways to protect the liver, and many different natural supplements. Part Three discusses the roles that the ovaries and the adrenal and thyroid glands play and an overview of how to stay healthy for a long time is provided in the final section.
