Menopause Without Medicine – Linda Ojeda Ph.D.

Feel healthy, look younger, live longer

‘Menopause is another change of life, not the change. How smoothly we adapt to any change in our lives depends largely on the health of our total being – our body, our mind, our spirit.’

Linda Ojeda digs beneath our media and cultural misconceptions about women’s middle years and explores the real health issues. She explains the physical causes of common menopausal complaints such as hot flushes, insomnia, fatigue, and osteoporosis, and looks at ways of treating or even preventing them – with natural remedies.

She also explores factors which have a subtle psychological impact on our well-being: sexuality, energy levels, coping with stress and maintaining the health and attractiveness of our skin, hair and figure.

To ensure you can make the most of this new knowledge there is plenty of helpful, practical advice including:

• Analysing your lifestyle and improving upon it
• Designing your own personal programme of nutrition and exercise
• A guide to food sources of major nutrients and the best use of supplements
• An illustrated exercise programme
• Natural recipes for hair care and home facial treatments

Menopause Without Medicine gives you the information, advice and guidance you need to feel and look good, from now on and for the rest of your life. Remember, preparing for a healthy menopause can never begin too early!
