A century ago, most women did not live much beyond the age of menopause. But today, a woman who is healthy at menopause can expect to live another 30 or 40 years . . . and millions of women report the years after menopause as a time of increased confidence and feelings of empowerment.
Based on groundbreaking programs developed at the Mind/Body Medical Institute by Dr Herbert Benson and others, 'Mind Over Menopause' will be the only book to combine the cutting-edge research of the Mind/Body Medical Institute with the expertise of the North American Menopause Society to create a complete program using relaxation response techniques, nutrition, and exercise to reduce hot flashes and mood swings, so that all women can access that confidence naturally.
The book also includes clear and easy-to-understand explanations of exactly what hormonal changes are taking place during menopause, and dispels stubborn myths about the necessity for hormone replacement therapy and other treatments. Writing and meditation exercises are included to allow readers to put the relaxation response program into action immediately. Information about osteoporosis and other conditions often affected by menopause are also included.
With the institutional support of the Mind/Body Medical Institute, the North American Menopause Society, and Harvard Medical School, and the active promotion of bestselling author Dr Herbert Benson and series editor Alice Domar, along with lessee Kagan of the Mind/Body Medical Institute and Bruce Kessel of the North American Menopause Society, 'Mind Over Menopause' is poised to become the resource for women seeking a balanced approach to menopause that combines powerful natural lifestyle changes with the latest medications in a personalised program proven to improve their overall sense of health and well-being.
