Beyond Menopause uncovers the unique healthcare needs of
postmenopausal women. It offers women integrative holistic approaches
that bridge the gap between conventional medicine and systems of
holistic healing. The book highlights integrative strategies in the
context of common health conditions, including anxiety, fatigue, sleep
disturbance, sexual health, weight concerns, bone health, and brain
health. It provides information on the use of hormone therapy during the
menopause transition. The book features clinical vignettes illustrating
how individual women explore pathways to better health through shared
decision-making with their health practitioners.
Women of postmenopausal age want to remain healthy, vital, and engaged,
yet they are often overlooked in the healthcare system. In this phase of
life, women need to create their own integrative path to wellness.
Beyond Menopause shows women how to prime their voice for
self-advocacy and establish collaborative relationships with their
health practitioners. Women are advised to create an adaptable network
of practitioners to accommodate changing needs--their own "web of
wellness."
Beyond Menopause brings a fresh perspective to the mental, physical,
and spiritual elements of holistic living. From the distinct vantage
points of medicine and neuroscience, the authors guide women toward new
pathways to optimal health and well-being.
