Publisher's summary

Love your menopausal body—with a new way to lose weight!

Welcome to menopause, where everything you thought you knew about your body changed overnight. You’re always hot (unless of course you’re freezing cold), you’re moodier than ever, sleep seems like a distant memory, and your skin is forming “age spots.” You can’t help but wonder, Is this it? Thankfully, no.

Weight-loss life coach Pahla Bowers is here to help with a radically simple and powerful method to flip the script on menopause—by adjusting how you think. Pahla teaches how to target Really Unhelpful Thoughts (RUTs), to shed extra pounds, and stay healthy. With this book, you will learn to:

- transform the way you think about food—and no longer fear calories and carbs

- ​practice moderate exercise, stay hydrated, and get plenty of sleep

- develop awareness about how you feel with journaling prompts

- accept your body, choose a realistic weight goal, and never slow down!

Combining exercise science, cognitive and behavioral psychology, and an inspiring, pragmatic perspective, Mind Over Menopause equips you with the tools and confidence to achieve your goals.

My Very Best Friend

I am thrilled to hear Paula’s voice reading her book. Her strategy to feel my feelings all the way through may be my very most helpful takeaway. Thoroughly enjoyed, highly recommend

A truly empowering book for women

If you happen to be anywhere near menopause and want to lose weight, you are definitely in the right place. If you have any other goal you want to achieve, you are also in the right place.
I have been following Pahla’s YouTube channel for 2 years. I use her workout videos daily and listen to her weekly podcast. All of it, just like this book, is well thought out, thoroughly researched and professionally delivered.
The tools described in the book are explained in her other formats, but this book breaks it all down into a process with examples and explanations that helped me really get the journaling process.
Pahla narrates this book herself and did an amazing job. I can’t imagine it in any other voice.

Incredible

This book has made me view menopause, my body & mind In a whole new light!!!
It is a MUST read!!!!

Pahla B gets me!

I found Pahla B on YouTube during a search of exercises for women over 50 - a search I never thought I'd have to do, but, here we are. I hit age 49, and like a switch was flipped, I gained weight, I was tired, foggy, frustrated. Everything on and in my body was changing, even though nothing I was doing did - I wasn't eating more than usual, I wasn't exercising less than usual. I figured I was doing something wrong. Then, almost like a fairy Godmother, Pahla entered my life. She changed my perspective - I WASN'T doing anything wrong, but I WAS changing, and she was there to help us "women of a certain age" navigate these changes. DO check out her YouTube videos - the exercises are gentle, effective, varied, and her stories she shares, along with her advice, tips and tricks, are reaffirming and positive. She has an uplifting personality, and her messages are realistic and NEEDED; I find my head nodding in agreement, along with multiple audible "mmmhmmm!"s. I was THRILLED that she wrote a book. I am over halfway through and it was exactly what I expected - kind, honest, bare, researched, lived, truthful and so, SO relatable. She gets it. She's been there. She IS there, and will be there on this on-going journey. Highly recommend the book, her social platforms, her newsletters, and her short-videos. She's the life-journey best friend I didn't know I needed.

Great book!

Pahla performs her book excellently and with passion. The subject matter is so spot on and the application goes far beyond dealing with menopause. Thank you!

Not what I expected

This book would be better titled as ‘How to rethink weight and exercise through menopause’

I got this book as a support to educate and understand menopause and it’s symptoms overall. It came highly recommended.

However, I feel and find this book to be about weight and diet and food choices.

It appears to be more of a memoir for an author who has been obsessed about diet, exercise her whole life and menopause has been a rude awakening in this area.

If weight gain is your sole concern in menopause. Then this book is for you.
