“Required reading for women wanting to maximize the second halves of their lives."—Wulf H. Utian, M.D., Ph.D., founder and executive director, The North American Menopause Society.

"Bravo! This book should be a birthday gift for every 40-year-old (actually, probably earlier)."— Barb Malat, CPNP, PA-C, co-chair, Menopause and Hormone Therapy Committee, Association of Reproductive Health Professionals.

Originally published in 2007 as Is It Hot in Here? Or Is It Me?, The Menopause Book is the all-in-one bible for women approaching or experiencing menopause.

It's the essential guide for every woman who wants to take charge of her health.

Review of Strong, Slim, and 30: Eat Right, Stay Young, Feel Great, and Look Fabulous! (Hardcover)

One thing that I must say about this book is that you have to really be ready to change your diet in order to truly see the benefits. With that being said, once you are ready to commit to it, you will without a doubt reap the benefits of this plan. I was amazed by how easy it was to follow. I loved how she dumbed it down for me and just gave me options to choose for my breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks from a list as opposed to count calories or carbs or anything else for that matter. I've only been doing it for a few weeks, but I have more energy when I workout, I sleep better, and I've seen enough positive results in such a shorttime to keep me faithful to the plan. One of the things that surprised me the most was how it curbed my cravings for fast food and the other things that have sabotaged my efforts in the past. If you're truly ready for something to change your diet and your way of life, I highly recommend this book.
