Menopause Health

Weight gain, insomnia, libido loss, fertility issues and acne are just some of the possible signs that something is not right with your hormones. Consultant endocrinologist Dr Mary Ryan explains how good hormone health is important throughout our lives, not just at menopause, and how, by tackling problems when they arise, we can take control and improve our wellbeing.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by unexplained brain fog and mood swings? Does it feel like you’re tired all the time and suffering from burnout? We’re taught not to expect these changes until menopause, but the truth is we need to start preparing much earlier. Perimenopause, or the period when your ovaries start producing less hormones as your body transitions to menopause, is the most critical time for you to focus on your long-term health; and functional practitioner, hormone expert, and host of the Energized podcast Mariza Snyder, D.C., is here to help.

Within this book, we explore the changes in the female body after 40, discussing the links between diet, exercise, and managing symptoms.

This practical nutrition and lifestyle guide provides women with the tools to build their own menopause diet which specifically targets the symptoms that are relevant to them. There are so many ways that nutrition can support a healthy and happy menopause, but a one-size-fits-all approach simply won't work.

She explains how the menopause and perimenopause can change your body and how your diet can make a tangible difference to the way that you feel, whether you're using HRT or not.

First, we were told we all needed to have HRT to remain interesting for our husbands. Then, we were told it was going to give us cancer and put us in an early grave. Next, we were told HRT was safe and we had to take it, or we'd all end up with crippling brain fog, quitting our jobs and descending into dementia as the economy collapsed around us. On the other side of the fence are those who argue that menopause is natural, it doesn't need treating, and a cold-water swim could fix everything. Why has this happened? What does the evidence say?

The diverse menopause experiences of nonbinary, trans, and other queer-bodied individuals have been overlooked and invisibilized for too long. Genderqueer Menopause is an indisputable resource for those seeking gender-affirming care during the menopause transition. Author, menopause doula, and genderqueer sex expert Lasara Firefox Allen pushes back against the norms of mainstream menopause care, asserting that menopause should not—and will not—be suffered in silence.

From the host of Medicine or Myth? and Embarrassing Bodies Down Under. Night sweats, hot flushes, anxiety, insomnia, exhaustion, itchy skin, low libido, painful sex. Any of these sound familiar? Ninety per cent of women experience these symptoms some time between the ages of 40 and 60, but shhhhh...just suck it up, princess. And nobody mention the M word. Menopause and perimenopause (the hormonal roller-coaster years leading up to a woman's last period) are among our last taboo subjects.
