Your Perfectly Pampered Menopause: Health, Beauty, and Lifestyle Advice for the Best Years of Your Life
Product Description
It’s not your mother’s menopause–and this is the book that tells you why! Unlike most midlife guides for women, Your Perfectly Pampered Menopause offers more than somber discussions about hot flashes and hormone replacement therapy. Instead, award-winning journalist Colette Bouchez created a rejuvenating handbook that blends authoritative clinical research with the humor, fun, and conversational tone of a lifestyle magazine.
Your Perfectly Pampered Menopause delivers expert medical wisdom on everything from hot flashes, insomnia, and dysfunctional bleeding to incontinence, bone loss, and weight control and recommends the latest in both natural and traditional care. Offering a totally new understanding of the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy, Bouchez also explores the latest buzz on alternative hormones and prescription drugs to provide women with a complete guide to all their midlife health care options.
She also clues us in on everything from antiaging skin and hair care to the hottest news in midlife nutrition (including an anti-hot flash diet!), divine new relaxation techniques, optimal exercise and midlife dieting secrets, and how to put the kick back into your sex life.
Tens of millions of women will hit forty in the next decade–and millions cross the threshold into menopause every year. This is the definitive guide for living well–no prescription required!

This book has some great, up-to-date information in it, but the girly-girl tone gets old. I turn 50 this month and can’t imagine caring about some of the stuff the author considers essential. I started laughing when I read “The Eight Cosmetics Every Woman Over Forty Has To Have: Face Primer, Skin Illuminator, Concealer, Light-diffusing Foundation, Bronzer, Cream or Gel Blush, Anti-feathering Lip Pencil/Lip Gloss, and Lash Extender.” Is she serious?
Exercise, a healthy diet, and fresh air will do more for your looks than any cosmetics.
I also laughed when I read, “…if you don’t want to change your look in any dramatic fashion (although that is what makes being a girl so much fun!)…”
Sometimes I felt like I was reading a fashion magazine instead of a book about menopause. Maybe this book was written for women in New York City or Hollywood?

Your Perfectly Pampered Menopause coincided with my hot flashes, bizarre itching, weird memory loss and irrational meltdowns, culminating with one in Amy’s Bread because they let ONE PERSON buy all their brioche loaves. So, even though I just turned 48, it never occurred to me that I might be going through perimenopause–duh–until a friend turned me on to this fantastic book. I knew I was on to something when I looked at chapter 9 Your Brain on Menopause…Or, why you cry when the bakery is out of rye bread. No coincidence. This book is hilarious and chock full of comforting information–I’m not losing my mind!!!–and sound advice. I now carry it around with me and not just because I keep forgetting to take it out of my bag…okay, I do forget…But this is an awesome book!

I read two free excerpts of this book on WebMD and they were both wonderful - filled with great information and very helpful suggestions. So I bought the book - and I wasn’t disappointed - it was even better than what I read online. It is definitely one of the only menopause books I know of that discusses all treatment options - both traditional and non-traditional, plus it also is a great resource for mid-life health in general. It not only covers traditional menopause symptoms - like hot flashes and night sweats and memory loss - it also offers important information on bone health, on mid-life weight gain, fatigue, women and heart disease, hair loss, incontinence, reducing cancer risks, - so it’s really so much more than just a meonpause book. In fact, you really get your money’s worth with this one! But again, that’s what I’ve come to expect from what I read on WebMD - they always feature the best and most informative articles. Wow - a great book!

Of all things, my husband bought me this book! He knew I was suffering with so many symptoms - and thought this book would help!At first I was angry- but I got over it, and when I read this book it practically changed my life. It eased my mind about many problems, and offered concrete solutions for others. It’s also hysterically funny - made me look at my life in a whole new way! This book should be REQUIRED READING by every woman over 45! It’s also easy to read and understand, and follow - plus it has a fabulous website that also offers a lot of help. If you are having any type of menopause related problems - or perimenopause - don’t miss this book - it’s the best one,and I’ve read them all!

This is a lighthearted approach to understanding a serious subject. I have purchased numerous copies to share with friends. I highly recommend this book to those whodo not want a clinical outlook. This book will make you laugh out loud at some of her experiences. I have found it to be a great resource asI sift through the “pause”.
