Cómo Vivir La Menopausia - by Tamsen Fadal (Paperback)

About the Book

Menopause affects every aspect of a woman's life. Yet nobody talks about it, and women have to deal with it on their own -- fighting in silence and feeling isolated. How to Menopause is going to change that story. Whether you need to know how to recognize and manage perimenopause symptoms or you're going through full menopause, this book is the conversation you never had. Award-winning journalist Tamsen Fadal and the more than 40 experts she interviewed guide you through every symptom and every area affected, so you can come out the other side and embrace the gifts this stage can offer. In practical, accessible terms, the author teaches us how to navigate the endless treatment options, take control of our bodies, face our fears, and decide what to let go of and what to keep. After reading it, you'll feel stronger, sexier, more balanced, and far bolder. Tamsen Fadal takes you by the hand and helps you to: Be your own best advocate in a healthcare system that wasn't designed to treat middle-aged women; understand the options that can relieve your symptoms, whether hormone therapy, supplements, or lifestyle changes; implement science-based strategies to sleep better than ever; be able to talk with your partner about sex, low libido, painful sex, and how your hormones may be affecting your relationship. Learn simple exercises, self-care tips, and wonderful recipes to improve dry skin, address belly fat, and slow hair loss (and don't worry -- you won't have to live on kale salads!). Manage menopause in the workplace, and much, much more. An engaging and comprehensive book that helps us feel alive, seen, and heard.
