Book Description
The dynamic nature of menopause is revealed through the stories of twelve women, from Sofia who experiences early-onset menopause at 43 and chooses a natural organic route, to Nadia a sexually active 79 year old with a boyfriend 25 years younger than herself. Menopause is shown to be a decades-long process that with proper guidance and treatment can be a gentle turning of the wheel instead of a difficult life experience. The Menopause Plan explains menopause from the first skipped period, hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia and more. But it also reveals the Silent Menace of Menopause that is the worst effect of the change-of-life, vaginal atrophy. Vaginal atrophy begins with the first skipped period and continues unabated until the most senior of years. It causes loss of sexual desire, difficulty in achieving orgasms and painful or difficult intercourse. It is both progressive and permanent. This is true for all women. Dr. Tracey Fein's The Menopause Plan guides women through all the phases of menopause with treatments designed to alleviate the traditional symptoms of menopause while preventing and reversing vaginal atrophy including the Mona Lisa Touch laser vaginal rejuvenation treatment. It is a must-read for women over 40 approaching menopause as well as older women seeking guidance for existing symptoms.

Book Description
A kick-ass book on menopause. Do yourself a favor and pick up this gem. Dr. Jen Gunter, bestselling author of The Vagina Bible and The Menopause Manifesto Menopause and perimenopause are no laughing matter―but that doesn't stop Amanda Thebe from approaching her 50s with a sense of humor. In this hilarious and personal account, the fitness trainer shares how she lost weight, dealt with her depression, improved her sleep, and overhauled her diet to survive-and thrive―during menopause. Now you can, too! Includes a Bonus Strength Training Guide for Women Over 40 At a time when menopause has become an urgent topic of public discussion, with the likes of Michelle Obama revealing their struggles for the first time, personal trainer Amanda Thebe shares her journey with bold and big-hearted writing that will be familiar to readers of Glennon Doyle. Readers will come away from the book with: -A better understanding of your own hormones and how they factor in menopause and your overall health; Confidence to speak your truth about your menopause symptoms to your doctor, other health professionals, your family, and friends; -Zero bull-sh*t tips for nutrition, fitness, vagina health, sex, and more. Amanda Thebe was working as a personal trainer and fitness coach when, at age 43, she started experiencing debilitating exhaustion, dizziness, and depression. The busy mother of two boys was used to traveling the world and climbing mountains. Now, she struggled to climb out of bed. After several failed doctors appointments, Thebe saw her gynaecologist, who finally named the source of her struggles: perimenopause, the period of 5-10 years before menopause, when a woman's fluctuating estrogen levels put her at risk of depression, anxiety, headaches, and more ailments related to female hormone health. Empowered by information, Thebe began her journey back to her former self, overhauling her approach to diet, mental health, and exercise. In Menopocalypse, she explains how to deal with migraines, hot flashes, weight gain, exhaustion, poor sleep, vaginal dryness, and mood swings-offering tips that have worked for her and others. She shares information about hormone therapy. She even shares her own strength-training routine, complete with a suggested workout schedule, easy-to-follow instructions, and pictures of herself doing the exercises, so you can feel empowered, fit, and ready to tackle the day. Menopause isn't fun, sexy, or cool, and a woman might spend one-third of her life in it-but that doesn't mean women should suffer in silence without support. Let the outspoken and honest Amanda Thebe be your guide to surviving-and thriving-during menopocalypse.
