What a thorough book for every woman dealing with menopause or anticipating it.
Clark, a holistic practitioner, has been through the natural process called menopause. She addresses risks and benefits of options.
Many women find their physicians can't, won't or don't have answers to their questions about holistic ways to deal with peri-menopause or menopause. They have questions with no place to find answers.
Clark has them. This book's balanced and natural approach is filled with facts complemented by practicality.
Divided into three parts, the book contains:
1. Menopause and medical treatment.
2. Holistic approach that includes nutrition, herbs, environmental changes, stress reduction and healing measures, and relationships.
3. Creating your menopause plan, including finding the right practitioner.
You will gain tools to assess your symptoms and make decisions that are right for you.
I now know more about practical things to unanswered questions about hormones and hysterectomies, hair loss and fatigue, headaches and hot flashes. She provides natural alternative and herbs that work with each symptom.
Armchair Interviews says: If you are anticipating, are in the thick of, or finished with menopause, you will learn so much. The book's subtitle is: What your doctor doesn't tell you...that you need to know. Thanks to Clark, you will know.
