A practical and proven guide to navigating and thriving through the hormonal changes and health issues that accompany women’s mid-life and beyond.

Menopause affects virtually every aspect of a woman’s life—sex, sleep, mood, mental clarity, and weight, to name a few—and the myriad confusing health questions that accompany these symptoms require a resource she can trust—and it’s not the Internet, which is populated with unreliable sites giving questionable, conflicting advice.

Written in Dr. Allmen’s signature effervescent style, Menopause Confidential is a no-holds-barred, honest and engaging book divided into four parts:

• Part One introduces perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms and explains hormonal changes.
• Part Two discusses the health risks associated with midlife, cutting through the conflicting opinions and advice about health screenings (do I really have to get a colonoscopy?) and medical conditions like osteoporosis.
• Part Three explores the various remedies, both allopathic and natural, to combat symptoms and empower women to make the best choices for themselves.
• Part Four offers practical tips and resources on how to mitigate the challenging effects of menopause.

You can’t avoid menopause or turn back the body’s clock, but you can take control of your health and flourish in midlife. Ultimately, Dr. Allmen encourages women to be informed, be proactive, and be their greatest selves at any age.
