'The one-woman backbone of menopause care in Ireland' IRISH
INDEPENDENT
Suddenly feeling hot? Tired? Irritable? Not yourself?
Having our bodies and minds change rapidly as we approach mid-life can
be bewildering and even upsetting. It may be hard to get a handle on
what's happening and what we can do about it.
The Menopause is the handbook of everything you need to know from
Ireland's leading menopause expert, Dr Deirdre Lundy. Drawing on decades
of experience and on the most up-to-date research Dr Lundy . . .
-Explains what's going on in your body - the key hormones that run
your life, how they are changing and the impact of that
-Helps you figure out where you are on the menopause spectrum and
empowers you to have informed conversations with your doctor
-Sets out approaches to dealing with symptoms - from nutrition,
exercise, counselling and medication, to using hormone replacement
therapies (HRT)
-Explores every aspect of HRT - debunking the myths and explaining
why it is helpful for many women
-Addresses key areas of concern - from early onset menopause, to
preserving vaginal, heart, breast and bone health, to managing your
menopause if you have pre-existing health challenges
Dr Lundy came to public prominence during a remarkable ten-day
discussion of the menopause on RTÉ Radio 1's Liveline. Now, as leader
of Ireland's first dedicated menopause clinic, she continues her
passionate advocacy for Irish women. The Menopause is her essential
guide to having the best menopause you can and being as healthy and
energized as possible in your middle years and beyond.
