Exceptional book about menopause!

From the very beginning, you can tell that Jane has done her research! This book is presented in a relatable and easy-to-understand format, that will have you feeling motivated and encouraged. There are numerous exercises, nutrition examples, and suggested supplements included. I felt so encouraged after listening to her book!

All angles covered

This book covers ALL things possible you could and must do to manage with this change of life gracefully. It is very informative and I felt motivated to make changes . Thank you.

Very Inspiring Book!

Inspiring book for any woman!!
I found this book at just the right time. It’s a great listen: the narrator is excellent and the content is fantastic!
I have been making lifestyle changes recently and the knowledge I gained from listening to this book has been very inspirational. As a woman of this age range, I was intrigued by this topic. I am still new to this exciting time of life, and I really appreciated the thorough, yet simple explanation of the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy.
What I appreciated most about this book is how the author discusses how making better lifestyle choices will make everything in your life easier!! Seeing this time of life as a wake up call to improve your life is brilliant!
Instead of sitting around and complaining about this and that and everything that is going wrong, the author takes the positon of wellness as a way of living.
Like Oprah said, this a Time to Reinvent yourself!

This book is about hope and action. The author has a very engaging writing style that I found to be the perfect combination of scientific research, practical advice and humour. I am looking forward to implementing this new knowledge in my life!! Thank you!

Good and practical information shared

The information shared in this audiobook provides good, practical suggestions that include explanations and the science behind it. It's a good audio read when you work out or even before going to your provider. It's a decent book for women who are in peri-menopause phase especially so you know why and what to expect when menopause actually comes.

Great book

The book is easy to read and to understand. Some suggestions of this book and ideas about the different aspects of menopause are really practical. She mentioned as your estrogen levels decrease; your metabolism slows down. This makes you gain weight even if you haven’t changed a thing about the way, you eat or move and makes it harder to lose weight. Great read!!!

Great Information!

The holistic remedies ticked the box for me. Being past this stage in my life, I can attest to some of the help and wish I had realized other remedies put forth here. This is a wonderful resource and something to hold onto for guidance through this time in our lives. I highly recommend you pick up this book!

This audiobook is for menopausal women and weight loss and gives a scientific background on the subject.
In addition to practical information and ideas about the different aspects of menopause,
she writes about how women can actually help themselves through the process.
There is helpful information on how to alleviate symptoms.
I recommend this audiobook.

How to make an informed decision when navigating one’s own menopause journey

The author explores “the window of vulnerability” during the time of biological, psychological and physical changes as women’s hormones fluctuate, the importance of self care and the importance of listening to our bodies.

Women all over the world experience the transition into menopause (peri-menopause) and living in full-blown menopause differently. Some have mild symptoms whereas others go through debilitating ones; some experience menopause earlier than others too.
Jane uses various scientific papers as references to these variables . Women do not have the same experience of menopause , therefore the wellness strategy for each woman should be different too.

She proposes that one’s perception and experience CAN change, even though it may feel like a challenge initially. Embrace the change to reinvent oneself, and undertake a lifestyle “spring-clean”.
The most vital change is to become informed about menopause.

Weight gain, digestive disruptions, joint pain and hot flushes are some of the common symptoms, yet they can be minimised and at best, avoided. Lifestyle changes are important and Jane’s research has empowered her own wellbeing. She shares her wisdom in a thorough, yet uncomplicated way.

The pros and cons of HRT (hormone replacement therapy) based on peer-reviewed studies and surveys are discussed.
This is important knowledge to have on hand when discussing this option with your doctor.
Jane also addresses the options of researched complimentary and alternative methods and supplementation, along with nutritional helps. Jane also offers a freebie online reference guide regarding eating out whilst actioning healthy dietary changes.

Sound advice offered, is to allow oneself time to make the changes, in order to prevent overwhelm. Jane gives helpful nutritional information and elicits the importance of mindset changes around dietary choices, exercise and self-respect. A mindfulness approach can be helpful in our relationship with wellness and the stigma around menopause.

Insomnia is one of the debilitating symptoms and Jane explains the knock-on effect on our mental and physical functioning. She helps us take note of all factors involved and how to make changes.

Other topics included are libido, diabetes, depression, bone health, and stress related urinary incontinence. Jane’s research enabled her to illicit the simple changes we can make to prevent or lessen these issues . Moreover, awareness of the vast effects of menopause is the biggest takeaway of this book.

The importance of having an informed doctor is vital. Some symptoms, for example panic attacks can occur - they are not a normal part of menopause; a mental health professional would need to be included in one’s wellness team.

Jane explains that symptoms are messages from our bodies, and the importance to heed them to kickstart making the changes you can and definitely not to accept the unhealthy ageing philosophy the world throws at us.

“This book is about hope and solid actionable information.”
