hormone therapy, for instance. In contrast,
The Menopause Solution takes a nonjudgmental, down-to-earth, and evenhanded approach to a broad array of menopause-related issues including early menopause, body changes, hot flashes, mood changes, sleep concerns, sexuality, incontinence, weight management, hormone and nonhormone therapy, complementary medicine, breast/skeletal/cardiovascular health, and cognition.
One component of The Menopause Solution I particularly appreciate is how Dr. Faubion incorporates humor into her wise counsel. For example, in the chapter “Embracing the Image in the Mirror,” Dr. Faubion points out that “even 49-year-old Cindy Crawford doesn’t look like 20-year-old Cindy Crawford.”
Women looking for thorough, up-to-date, unbiased, and approachable information on menopause should look no further than The Menopause Solution. Clinicians who care for menopausal women will also find this book informative and may choose to keep one or more on hand to loan to interested patients.
