“Hot Flashes, Panic Attacks, Reduced Sex Drive, Depression, Weight Gain, Hair Loss, Insomnia...those are just some of the symptoms that can accompany menopause for the more than 15 million US women who will be challenged by menopause this year,” says Dr. Carolyn Chambers Clark, founder of The Wellness Institute. “Now that research studies link hormone replacement therapy with increased risks for cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, asthma, blood clots, and Parkinson’s disease, women need to know what self-care actions they can take to stay well,” Dr. Clark says in Living Well with Menopause, her breakthrough holistic guide that offers hundreds of self-care nutritional, environmental, herbal, relationship, exercise, and stress reduction actions to help women move toward a positive menopause experience.
“But Living Well with Menopause isn’t only for older women,” Dr. Clark says. “Women can have menopause symptoms as early as their 30’s. This process needs to be demystified so husbands and partners can understand what menopausal women are going through. Armed with cutting edge information, menopausal vignettes, worksheets, and checklists (to help develop a personalized program), and advice for their partners, family members, and friends, menopausal women can obtain the emotional support they need and deserve.”
