Looking for a natural way to treat hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia, and menopausal weight gain without the dangerous side effects of HRT? Bestselling author and one of the country's top nutritionists, Ann Louise Gittleman explains the latest research on women's health and nutrition and confirms what she has been teaching for years-that menopausal symptoms are not medical problems to be treated with pills and hormone therapy. They are the result of years of improper eating, insufficient exercise, and poor lifestyle habits that have taxed the adrenals, leaving some women with unbalanced body systems that cause many health risks.
In this completely revised edition of her popular book, Gittleman provides a diet built from unprocessed, unrefined, and natural foods, including green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits, whole grains, good fats, fish, and lean meats. With all-new recipes, a revitalizing exercise program, and lifestyle tips, Hot Times will help ensure that the postmenopausal years are a time in a woman's life when she is rewarded with good health and a renewed zest for living.
Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., CNS, holds a doctorate in holistic nutrition. She has appeared on The View, Dr. Phil, and Good Morning America and has been featured in The New York Times, Harper's Bazaar, Family Circle, Newsweek, Time, and many other publications. She is the bestselling author of The Fat Flush Plan and Before the Change, and a columnist for First for Women.
VISIONARY, HEALTH GURU, weight loss/detox expert, and natural foods icon, Ann Louise Gittleman has always been a trendsetter. Highly respected as a health pioneer and award-winning author of 30 books, she revolutionized weight loss in her New York Times bestseller The Fat Flush Plan - and now tackles the hazards of being bombarded 24/7 by electromagnetic pollution in her latest book Zapped. Ann Louise has been recognized as one of the top ten nutritionists in the country by Self and received the American Medical Writers Association award for excellence.
Always ahead of her time, Ann Louise set the pace for new health protocols in the 1990s with four more breakthrough books. She was the first to warn of the environmental hazards of parasites in her classic Guess What Came to Dinner? Parasites and Your Health. In Your Body Knows Best, Ann Louise was the first to discuss the blood type/weight theory and proclaim that one diet may not be right for every body − an idea that is only now becoming mainstream. She was the first to offer natural remedies for menopausal symptoms in Super Nutrition for Menopause and is widely credited as the first to popularize the term "perimenopause" in her New York Times bestseller, Before the Change.
Ann Louise forged new ways of thinking about obesity early on in her career. She was the first to proclaim that obesity was caused by the lack of dietary fats and the wrong kind of carbohydrates in her book Beyond Pritikin, published in 1988. In Beyond Pritikin, she predicted that the fat-free, carb-rich diet was creating weight gain, sugar cravings, fatigue and diabetes.

The bestselling author of The Fat Flush Plan has turned her attention to the hazards of the wireless age with her newest release--Zapped: Why Your Cell Phone Shouldn't Be Your Alarm Clock and 1,268 Ways to Outsmart the Hazards of Electronic Pollution (HarperOne, 2010).
