I wanted to love this book. Don't get me wrong - there is a lot of good info here if you have not already studied nutrition/fitness/wellness. I just didn't find enough new/specific menopause-related information for me. I was also struck by the conflict of the definite bias towards hormone therapy and the line from the epilogue which states that "your body is designed to handle" menopause. If my body is designed to go through menopause, why do I need HT? A little disappointed, all in all.

The redundancy of the author this book made it impossible to read.

For women just about to embark on this stage of life, this is a good source of earthy, realistic info. The author is down-to-earth and does a great job of explaining medical and emotional facts in an understandable way with some humour and heart.

Highly recommended! Neither pushing nor badmouthing hormone therapy, this is by far the best book about menopause I've found. Thebe won't tell you whether to take hormones. She WILL tell you a lot about how to eat and exercise, but that's great because she is absolutely right about food (pro-protein AND pro-healthy fats AND pro-complex carbs) and about strength training (we need to do it)!

The illustrated instructions for DOZENS of strength-training exercises make this book a valuable resource even if you don't (always) follow Thebe's specific exercise program.

By the way, this is an excellent complement to Strong Women Stay Young. Considering that both books promote strength training regimens for middle-aged (and older) women, there is remarkably little overlap. This book teaches different exercises, and it will motivate you in different ways.

The book explained several issues I didn't even realize I was experiencing until I read it here. I'm paying more attention to my body and my behavior now, all thanks to this book.
