Helpful section on herbal remedies

I read this book in anticipation of the possibility of my upcoming hysterectomy causing early menopause. Thankfully, it was not needed (they were able to leave my ovaries). As I would not have been able to take hormones due to cancer risk, it was my biggest worry going in. This book helped assuage many of my questions and worries. Not only that, it's really an informational book for women's health even without being in menopause.

This book explores the management of menopause through herbal remedies, aromatherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, nutrition, exercise, and hormone replacement therapy. The underpinning message is to live a healthy lifestyle, which will impact not only the transition through menopause but also the quality of a long healthy life. I recommend the book to women in their late 40s as a resource to feel informed about choices to support the body physically and mentally.
This book is attractively organized with subtitles, boxed-out information, and illustrations. It serves as a great resource to learn more about various options that you hear about, your friend recommends, your doctor is considering, etc. Throughout, there are great tips that are easy to implement. For example, to save time and be less distracted, I was inspired to turn off alerts on my phone and unfollow many people on Twitter and Instagram. I also appreciate their general lifestyle advice: avoid highly processed foods, reduce sugar intake, cut out saturated fats found in manufactured foods, eliminate caffeine, cut out alcohol, and minimize stress (p. 130). There is a good explanation of the macronutrients: protein, fats, and carbohydrates.
Before trying herbal remedies, essential oils, and supplements, be sure to consult a professional on what to take, possible interactions with medications, etc. The book is a resource and should not be taken as medical advice.
I do not agree with some of their nutrition recommendations, e.g., “essential” good carbs (p. 136). Carbohydrates are not essential and should be limited to low-starch vegetables and low-sugar fruits to maintain glucose levels. There are also some contradictions. While they do not recommend highly processed food (p. 130), the authors do recommend high-fiber cereal (p. 137) and fortified bread and cereals (p. 140). Also, they promote soy (p. 149) but do not address concerns regarding genetically modified crops and pesticides.
Overall, a good resource that I would buy for my sister or girlfriend.
