Megan A. Arroll and Liz Efiong have written a very comprehensive guide to the menopause. The information given should make it easier and less confusing to make an informed decision on what action to take.
The book is written in an optimistic and realistic style with a 'what can I do' attitude. Each chapter clearly sets out its aims at the beginning. Each chapter is split up into succinct sections and each chapter ends with a succinct summary. It's very easy reading with no waffle and is not full of medical jargon. It is a well-referenced book so you can easily go away and do further research...this is a really helpful guide for women during menopause and for those wanting to make changes to their lifestyle to ensure that the next stage of their life is as healthy and fulfilling as possible.
The authors of the book have written an excellent, easy to read and understand guide that examines alternatives other than conventional HRT.
Where the book is cutting edge is in the balanced, critical discussion on the use of HRT, and bioidentical hormone therapy as well as non-hormone medical treatments and medical tests. Don't wait for the menopause; be informed and make the most of this next empowering phase of your life.
I think it is an excellent resource which offers clear unbiased information in a very accessible form. I will certainly be sharing it with my followers.
