The No-Nonsense Guide to Menopause
About this book
The definitive guide to this important life stage: "Touches on nearly every aspect of women's health [and] sheds an invaluable light on a long-cloudy subject." —
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
The No-Nonsense Guide to Menopause offers a radical rethink in the way menopause is treated. With an awareness of profit-motivated drug companies and the physicians they influence, this resource provides unbiased, straightforward advice about the true risks of hormone therapy and the effectiveness of alternatives.
Barbara Seaman, a leading advocate in the women's health movement for decades, demanded answers and accountability from the pharmaceutical industry with the goal of putting women in control of their bodies and futures. Together with Laura Eldridge, written in clear and accessible language, the two shine a light on just about everything there is to know about menopause and its aftermath—medically, culturally, socially, sexually, and even financially. They provide straight talk on supplements, vitamins, and alternative therapies, how to listen to your doctor—and how to make sure your doctor listens to you.
From hormone replacement therapy to hysterectomies, to guidance on what questions to ask and strategies for assessing the validity of new data, this is a complete, accessible, and easy-to-use resource that will bring comfort and clarity to women everywhere.
