For decades, women have relied on OUR BODIES, OURSELVES to provide the most comprehensive, honest, and up-to-date information on everything from emotional well-being to birth control. Now, in OUR BODIES, OURSELVES: MENOPAUSE, the same team brings readers the most trustworthy, new information available and confronts misinformation and scare tactics. Discussing menopause in the context of the rich and varied life experiences of women from diverse backgrounds, this reference emphasizes self-care and prevention strategies, such as good nutrition and exercise, as the foundation of health through the menopausal transition and beyond. With clear, accessible language and a balanced look at every issue (including hormone replacement therapy) OUR BODIES, OURSELVES: MENOPAUSE provides women with the information they need to make decisions about their bodies.
