The goop hormone authority breaks through negative assumptions and
offers an empowering new approach to taking charge of hormone shifts
through every stage of a woman's life--especially menopause.
For too long, women have been approaching menopause with a sense of
dread and finality. Often, they don't want to talk about it until
they're undeniably experiencing it--and even then might suffer symptoms
in silence, either embarrassed to speak openly, or dejectedly resigned
to thinking that years of discomfort and mood swings are just
unavoidable.
An M.D. with an appealing east-meets-west approach to women's health,
Dr. Tasneem (known as Dr. Taz) has spent her career battling these
outdated stereotypes and mindsets. Instead of framing menopause as an
"ending" when everything suddenly changes, she sees a woman's entire
life as a spectrum of ever-shifting hormones, and menopause as just one
point along that spectrum.
The Hormone Shift breaks down what is happening behind the scenes in a
woman's body throughout her life, explains how to prepare for whatever
is coming next, and offers plans to keep the body in balance and
minimize unwanted symptoms. Dr. Taz uses the wisdom of eastern
modalities like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine and integrates
modern medical treatments for specialized acute care. There's so much
that women can do in the years leading up to perimenopause and menopause
to prepare their bodies for the changes ahead, and make the shift
smoother than they ever thought possible.
