so-soThis was okay. I listened on #audio and likely wouldn‘t have stayed with it otherwise. No real new info, the parts the Dr. contributed were worthwhile and encouraging, the main author was a bit annoying and, honestly, sexist. This one hasn‘t aged well but the basic premise, keep moving, don‘t eat crap, and stay engaged with your community, is valid. I finished it at my gym that just opened! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
Awe. ☹️
A book I didn't buy, but was tempted due to #CoverCrush
Might put it on my wishlist.
pickFinished this up on my lunch hour. It was recommended to me by my gynecologist. I‘m in my mid-thirties but have a history in my family of early menopause. I‘d asked my doctor what sort of things I could be doing now to get ready and she pointed me to this book. Extremely strong feminine voice that could be a little off putting at times but lots of good info!

On this day in 2006 we decided to hospital live until the 19th when this menopause gift arrived against all medical science, 3.5 weeks early! I was told I‘d never have children,did massive fertility treatments and his placenta grew attached to a massive fibroid, his sister -a grown person waited in excitement to finally have a sibling,this gift is now 6 ft 4 in and planning to be a teacher … my Elijah who keeps me young. My grandson arrived 2014🙃
For a time, I lived with my mom, her mom, & her mom‘s mom, but still I didn‘t know much about menopause. Maybe the workplace should separate us out to teach these hormonal changes like schools did for puberty.

I like the feminist take. I like the balance of honoring the knowledge of crones & science. And I like that it got me to bypass my sucky PCP & head return to my GYN.
so-soSome really good stuff, some not great. I learned a lot about the menopause transition, which was very helpful. I found the writing style…well, bad and distracting. Poor grammar/copyediting, the conversational tidbits thrown into the technical parts halted the flow, and while I agree that misogyny has done a number on female health the snide stuff really added up. One really annoying thing was explaining this 👆🏼 mnemonic every single time 👇🏻
Cool thrift store find today. Good book and couldn't leave an uncorrected proof copy.
It feels important to catalog the ONLY note I took while reading (not that the shocks didn‘t keep on coming)!
BUT REALLY.
Tell your friends.
