Hrt-free Menopause Breakthrough by Marilyn Glenville

Focusing on the new discoveries recently announced in the media, HRT Free Menopause reveals what these latest studies really mean. It explores HRT and its side effects -- including what the drug companies don't want you to know. The book details which tests, supplements, herbs, and foods can help women get through menopause naturally, safely, and as comfortably as possible. In clear, accessible writing, the author provides the most up-to-date, practical advice on how to eliminate night sweats, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, weight gain, and mood swings without drugs or HRT. Included as well is a discussion of the essence of so-called "natural" progesterone and the importance of soy-based phytoestrogen supplements. Glenville both outlines the underlying issues and provides specific tools for women so that they can be empowered to attain optimal health throughout menopause.
