A Doctor Reveals the Secrets to Thriving Through Midlife

De: Tara Allmen

Narrado por: Tara Allmen

An authoritative guide to understanding and navigating the hormonal changes and health issues women experience in midlife and beyond, from one of the leading medical experts in the field.

The physical changes that occur after women turn forty are unavoidable—and can be unnerving. Menopause affects every aspect of life—from sex and sleep to mood and mental clarity to weight and body temperature. While there are a number of resources available, many are confusing and contradictory. Now, Manhattan gynecologist Dr. Tara Allmen, an experienced, nationally board-certified menopause practitioner and the recipient of the 2015 Doctor’s Choice National Award for Obstetrics & Gynecology, shares her knowledge to help women be their happiest and healthiest, and turn this challenging time into an exciting one.

Written in her effervescent yet assured voice, Menopause Confidential provides simple strategies and cutting-edge information on:

• hormonal changes and the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause;
• the health risks associated with midlife—from cutting through the conflicting opinions and advice about health screenings (Do I really need a colonoscopy? How often should I get a mammogram?) to common medical conditions, such as osteoporosis;
• various remedies, both allopathic and natural, to combat symptoms and empower women to make the best choices for their individual needs;
• practical tips and resources for mitigating the effects of menopause.

Fifty-one-year-old Dr. Allmen knows firsthand what women are going through, and shares stories of her own personal travails and solutions. Women can’t turn back the clock, but they can take control of their health and flourish in midlife. Menopause Confidential encourages them to be informed, be proactive, and be their greatest selves.

Wide-Based Info on Menopause & Enjoyable Narration

Very good book to get a wide-based foundation of knowledge to prepare yourself for handling your menopause. Most doctors don't tell us about this information, so we women need to educate ourselves to be prepared. It was also fun to listen to because the doctor is narrating her own book, and she has a good sense of humor and speaking style (not boring and monotone like some other narrators). She talks in an upbeat way and listening to her feels like you are talking with a friend--but a much more knowledgeable friend because she is really an expert doctor in this field, and even served as President of the
North American Menopause Society. She knows what she is talking about, and that's why I think this book is a must-read to help us women navigate this field of menopause where a lot of other doctors have not told us the information we need to know.

Helpful and informative

I listened to this audiobook in one day. I’m new to the idea of menopause and wanted to learn a lot more about it. The author is a NAMS certified practitioner and very knowledgeable about middle ages womens health. Definitely do recommend reading this if you are confused and scared about all the options out there. I’m going to be reading more, but this is a great start.

Like listening to a friend…who happens to be an expert!

Dr. Allmen speaks plainly and with thoughtful, humorous directness.
I’m so glad I found this book—now that I’ve been listening, I plan to purchase the actual book!
Perimenopause (and menopause) are much less scary to me now.
Thank you, Dr. Allmen!
