A complete holistic guide to menopause. A vital self-care manual for the more than 50 million American women facing this natural process.

For thirty years, board-certified holistic practitioner, master's-prepared nurse, and doctorally prepared educator Carolyn Chambers Clark has been helping women navigate the challenges of menopause. Now she can help you with her breakthrough guide that addresses the full range of medical, alternative, and complementary self-care strategies, with easy-to-follow guidelines for avoiding the pitfalls of:

• Hot flashes
• Fuzzy thinking
• Skin, hair, and bladder changes
• Weight gain
• Joint and muscle pain
• Fatigue
• Decreased sex drive
• Emotional ups and downs
• Insomnia

Having been through this natural process herself, and having counseled countless other menopausal women, Clark is a compassionate voice clearly addressing the risks and possible benefits of hormone therapies, offering easy-to-understand advice, and providing the most comprehensive menopause program available.

My Wife really didn't know much about what she was going through from a medical stand point and was looking for some practical things she could do to help minimize her discomfort. She found this holistic approach to be an informative and real easy and enjoyable read. One she could relate to. For those guys out there wondering, yes I got away with giving my menopausal wife a book on menopause. It went over well simply because of the content and holistic approach of this book. That is pretty high praise for it! On another note, personally, I have read two other "Living Well With" series books and the publishers/writers have a high standard for getting helpful & useful information out there for those who suffer from the various conditions. Deffinately, well worth a look and some bucks to read if you're in one of the particular situations.

Carolyn Chambers Clark has written a MUST HAVE book for women of all ages who want to be in control of their own health, particularly during the life-changing time of menopause. Even young women would benefit from a copy, should they face the possibility of instant menopause due to a complete hysterectomy. My copy of the book is full of highlighted passages I'll need to refer to again. Highly recommended.

This book gives herbal, mineral, and vitamin responses on a symptom by symptom basis of menopausal symptoms. It is a very thorough response.

I love this book, and I don't say that lightly. I'm not what you might call a gusher. Since the day my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer and his options laid out in front of him more than a decade ago, I have been painfully aware that hormones are not always the magic cure-all. Since then, I've watched in something close to horror as friend after friend has been placed on HRT while doctors try to "fix" what's wrong with the bodies of women who have reached "that age." Reading this book and finally hearing someone say (1) that heading into menopause doesn't mean something's wrong with a woman's body, and (2) that HRT isn't always the answer was like coming up for fresh air to me. Finally, somebody "gets" it and they're saying it aloud. While that alone would be enough to make me recommend this book to any woman over the age of . . . 21 . . . there's more. I love that Dr. Clark gives women ways to take an active role in their own lives. I, for one, have had enough of passively sitting by while some stranger tells me I'm not feeling what I feel and doles out a pill to make everything all better. This book is a "must have" for women -- and again, I don't say that lightly.
