This book was excellent. Great description of hormones and what is happening as we age. Loved the refocus on the positive aspects of aging, unlike our current culture. Empowering!

As a 62-year old woman, I am grateful to have found Dr. Mindy Pelz. Her content in all her books, podcasts, YouTube content is relevant for all women whether she is in her reproductive years, peri-menopausal, menopausal, and post-menopausal stage of life. I wish I had known even a portion of what Dr. Mindy shares when I was younger. It would have saved me a lot of difficult times through my life-changing journey.
While certain beliefs of mine do not align with some of what Dr. Mindy shares in Age Like A Girl, I found great information in this book. I especially appreciated Part 2 where she provides a lifestyle toolbox for women in menopause and entering post-menopause. For this wealth of information alone, I highly recommend this book!
In this book, you will learn what happens to a woman’s body and brain when we go through the change of life. And guess what? It’s a pretty cool outcome. If you need help with going through menopause, read this book. You can thank me later!

feels like she just recommended every wellness trend in the name of menopause. I didn't learn anything new.

I was expecting more tips and insight but was more “new aft” in the content so hard to want to keep reading. Best thing in the book was the exercise plans in the appendix
