Book Description

'A guide to counteract medical misogyny' New Scientist 'The world's most famous - and outspoken - gynaecologist' Guardian In The Menopause Manifesto internationally renowned, New York Times bestselling author Dr Jen Gunter brings you empowerment through knowledge by countering stubborn myths and misunderstandings about menopause with hard facts, real science, fascinating historical perspective and expert advice. The only thing predictable about menopause is its unpredictability. Factor in widespread misinformation, a lack of research, and the culture of shame around women's bodies, and it's no wonder women are unsure what to expect during the menopause transition and beyond. Menopause is not a disease - it's a planned change, like puberty. And just like puberty, we should be educated on what's to come years in advance, rather than the current practice of leaving people on their own with bothersome symptoms and too much conflicting information. Knowing what is happening, why and what to do about it is both empowering and reassuring. Frank and funny, Dr Jen debunks misogynistic attitudes and challenges the over-mystification of menopause to reveal everything you really need to know about: * Perimenopause * Hot flashes * Sleep disruption * Sex and libido * Depression and mood changes * Skin and hair issues * Outdated therapies * Breast health * Weight and muscle mass * Health maintenance screening * And much more Filled with practical, reassuring information, this essential guide will revolutionise how women experience menopause - including how their lives can be even better for it!

Book Description

The best kept secret is this: Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life, not something to be dreaded. Rather, it is something to look forward to as a time when all kinds of new creativity can be born, bringing joy, satisfaction and meaning to our lives. This book explores a shamanic approach, through connection to all the worlds we live with - the humans, the plants, the animals, spirit, and the minerals, to empower the later phase in a woman's life - menopause and beyond. By celebrating menopause as a rite of passage, we discover what is ours to do now. What is a rite of passage? A moment when great change is afoot. The value of such a transformation is increased when it is acknowledged and celebrated as we move from one role or phase in our lives into the next. In many societies such "moments" are well-known and recognized in our various birthing, marriage, and death rites. In this book, we approach menopause as a rite of passage - a transition from one stage of life to another. It can be an empowered phase in a woman's life, a part of our life development that deserves dignity and honor. We focus on the possibilities and fulfillment that can come with menopause. We can all explore menopause as a time of great potential and power within ourselves. We become matriarchs and caretakers for the coming generations, bringing a different kind of joy, satisfaction, and meaning to our lives and the lives of those around us. But it is also the case that many people still fear and resist menopause. It is not uncommon to encounter beliefs that menopause is the end of a woman's productive years, and that her fate now is to grow old, become increasingly unattractive, and no longer have value in her world. A recent study found that less than 20 percent of premenopausal women have even moderate knowledge of the biological changes that may occur to them during menopause. It found that even fewer women carry a positive view of menopause - as a natural process that takes us to the next stage in our lives, granting us new opportunities to take our power and open to newfound joys. Most of the time menopause is still considered a decline that requires remedies to cure it. It is an unfortunate approach to a natural phase of life, which, as you will see, holds so many gifts for us. We both learned about rites of passage through the teachings of the Deer Tribe Metis Medicine Society, or the Deer Tribe for short, an organization that supports a spiritual path that provides teachings, ceremonies and tools for our human quest for growth. We are both long-time students of this path, which combines traditional, spiritual, and modern knowledge about the human being. It carries a rich body of knowledge and ceremonies in rites of passage. Razel is a senior teacher on this path. Karin's focus is counseling and teaching about the rites of passage. This book contains common sense and a shamanic approach to a wonderful, though little understood, phase in a woman's life. All over the world there are organizations and initiatives whose focus is to implement meaningful rites of passage back into our society. We encourage all of you to seek out the knowledge that speaks to you from any source that is valuable for you. We hope you also enjoy this book.

The menopause is a time of change, of unexpected health challenges, of rollercoaster emotions and unprecedented shifts in how we feel physically and emotionally. But we can emerge wiser than before, and stronger than we know. The decade after the average menopause transition, from our 50s to 60s, is the most important for a woman's health.

There are huge positives post-menopause: it's time to create the adventures - large and small - we want in our lives. The decisions, and choices, we make now will define how we age.

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.
