Unlock Your Menopause Type: Personalized Treatments, the Last Word on Hormones, and Remedies that Work

by Heather Hirsch MD, MS, NCMP, Stacey Colino (Editor)

Overview

Given that millions of women have entered menopause each year since the dawn of time, it’s crazy that menopause still feels like uncharted territory for the women who are going through it. Dr. Heather Hirsch is committed to changing that. Unlocking Your Menopause Type helps women cut through the informational noise and learn how to manage their symptoms most effectively by identifying their personal Menopause Type(s).

This is not a one-size fits all solution. Unlocking Your Menopause Type features a helpful quiz to identify women's individual Menopause Type(s) such as:

–Premature

–Sudden

–Full-Throttle

–Mind-Altering

–Seemingly Never-ending

–Silent

Each type gets a full prescription for exercises, diet and strategies to regain mental focus and make menopause a regulation part of maturity rather than a rollercoaster ride of unexpected symptoms and discomfort.

The book also includes:

–The last word on whether to replace declining hormones (the answer is custom-built)

–What to do if you’re a combination of types

–How to get on top of (as it were) changes in your sex life

–Crowd-sourced tips and tricks from Dr. Hirsch’s friend group and patients

Dr. Hirsch addresses the physical and emotional challenges of menopause and provides solutions from her years of practice. With knowledge, priorities, and a plan, you can feel great through midlife and beyond.
