Klappentext
If you are a woman aged between thirty-five and fifty you have probably experienced some of these symptoms:
-forgetfulness
-inexplicable weight gain
-insomnia
-mood swings
- a change in your response to sex
-erratic menstruation
Dr Steven Goldstein explains that these are natural, normal and treatable symptoms commonly experienced during the perimenopause.
This decade before the menopause is a time when ovulation decreases and oestrogen levels destabilize, causing physical, mental and emotional changes. Up until now this has been one of the least explored stages in a woman´s life.
Could it be the Perimenopause?
-explains changes that your body is undergoing and helps you make clear, informed choices about the range of traditional and natural therapies available
-addresses your most common concerns and answers questions you may be reluctant to ask your doctor
-provides scientific explanations for the confusing physical, mental and emotional symptoms that occur during your thirties and forties
-gives advice on the diet, exercise and vitamins that help you to combat hormonal imbalances.
A crucial book for all women over 35.
