During a recent interview, I was asked what I want women to walk away with after reading my book, Nourishing Menopause: Powerful Nutrition & Lifestyle Strategies to Feel Your Best. My immediate thought was a better understanding of what is happening to our body and mind during this phase of life.
So many of us had no idea what was happening when perimenopause started, and I wanted to help change that. I do not want another woman to enter this phase of life not knowing what to expect or feeling alone in what she is experiencing.
Although perimenopause and menopause often get a bad rap, the truth is this can be an amazing time of life. Many of us feel more empowered. We are coming into our own. We are rediscovering who we are. And some of us are figuring out who we are for the very first time. That is a powerful thing.
There is so much positive to look forward to and embrace, and more than anything, I want to leave women with hope. You can thrive during perimenopause and menopause. You don’t need to suffer. There are solutions and tools to choose from, whether that is nutrition, lifestyle strategies, exercise, stress management, supplements, mindset shifts, and/or hormones if that’s what you choose to do.
I learned a long time ago that education is the key to change. We can’t change what we don’t know. That’s where my book comes in.
