Natural Woman, Natural Menopause by Marcus Laux, ND and Christine Conrad
I am in my forties and changes are happening in my body, as I come closer to menopause. I am not there yet; I am considered perimenopausal. This includes weight gain around the middle, and irregular menstrual cycles. I have not had to deal with hot and cold flashes, night sweats, or mood swings...yet. I thought this would be a good book to read. I have heard some people swear by hormone replacement therapy, others refuse it. This book has answered a lot of questions that I had, on what HRT involves, and the side effects. I also learned that there are plants out there that produce hormonal chemicals that are exactly the same as what is in a woman's body, which is not the case with Premarin and Provera. I learned about hormonal creams, and herbs that can help ease the transition into the next stage of life, as well as beneficial foods to support the menopausal body.
This book is definitely worth reading, although it was published in 1998.I would like to get my hands on a newer book just to see what has changed.
Also, because of reading this, I am more confident about the choices I will make going into menopause, whereas before I didn't have a plan.
