Book Description

September 15, 2009 0761155988 1
The critics raved: "Dr. Spock for aging women…extremely well researched and presents cutting-edge science in a readable and comprehensive way. An excellent reference."—The North American Menopause Society.

“Sympathetic, very readable, comprehensive...I highly recommend this excellent guide."—Isaac Schiff, M.D., Harvard Medical School.

“Required reading for women wanting to maximize the second halves of their lives."—Wulf H. Utian, M.D., Ph.D., founder and executive director, The North American Menopause Society.

"Bravo! This book should be a birthday gift for every 40-year-old (actually, probably earlier)."— Barb Malat, CPNP, PA-C, co-chair, Menopause and Hormone Therapy Committee, Association of Reproductive Health Professionals.

Originally published in 2007 as Is It Hot in Here? Or Is It Me?, The Menopause Book is the all-in-one bible for women approaching or experiencing menopause. Completely revised and updated with a compelling, authoritative new look, the latest medical findings and advice, and a straightforward new title, The Menopause Book incorporates the most cutting-edge research on hormones and hormone therapy; hot flashes; heart disease and stroke; breast cancer in older women; and the subtle symptoms of ovarian cancer.  It also discusses new findings on why it's hard for menopausal women to lose weight; osteoporosis and estrogen; the interplay between migraines and hormones; panic attacks; and more. Of all the books on the market, this is the soundest—based on science, the material is vetted by top authorities in the field, the facts are up to date, the writing engaging, the tone upbeat. It's the essential guide for every woman who wants to take charge of her health.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Workman's enviable success with the classic pregnancy "bible" What to Expect When You're Expecting has no doubt sparked this guide, which claims to do for those at midlife what Heidi Murkoff's series has done for pregnant women. The company has tapped two respected Newsweek health writers for this map to everything a woman might encounter before, during and after menopause. An attractive, user-friendly format with sidebars, charts, illustrations and q&as guides readers through hundreds of pages of material. Chapters progress from the basics (types of menopause, onset and duration, testing); hormonal changes and their impact on sleep, sex, moods and memory; and lifestyle (diet, exercise, stress); to heart and bone health, cancer, treatment options and medications. As Wingert and Kantrowitz point out, we've come a long way from when symptoms associated with menopause included "uncontrollable peevishness" and "perversion of moral instincts," yet many women remain reticent about their experiences, fear aging and feel incapable of the new challenges presented by their bodies along with the rest of their obligations. Such readers will welcome Wingert and Kantrowitz's inclusion of suggestions for self-care and their positive focus on what, they say, can be a healthy and productive time in a woman's life. (Feb.)

Format:Paperback
Wonder about why your body is acting the way it is? Prefer to read some background info first and then talk to your doctor about it? Yeah,... me too! This book was very helpful. It's more than about menopause. It's about women getting older and all the changes that occur in and around you. The writing style and layour were very accessible, and it was easy and efficient to locate info on a particular topic. The early positive press was right-- I've recommended this to my Women's email list and to my book club!

5.0 out of 5 stars Give this book to every woman you know!!! January 2, 2007
Format:Paperback
Finally, women get the definitive book about menopause--the book that all women of a certain age will embrace!! During your child bearing years, you needed a copy of What to Expect When You're Expecting. Now, when you are menopausal, you need Is It Hot in Here? You will use this book in the same way-after you read it thoroughly once, you can go back to it again and again for reference, and for reassurance that what you are going through is perfectly normal. I was familiar with the fine work of both authors, from reading their articles, mostly on health and education in Newsweek, and I am not surprised that they have tackled this exhaustive subject well.

They have clearly done solid research, and the book is chock full of easy to read and use charts, sidebars, and diagrams, however, the beauty of the book is its breezy and chatty tone. Most important, is the sense one gets, over and over, of how much menopause is not the end of life, so to speak, but should be viewed as the gateway, to a great second or even third act! I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars What I've Been Looking For! January 4, 2007
Format:Paperback
Thank you, Pat and Barbara, for this wonderful work! Finally, a comprehensive, readable, empathetic and humorous book on a very complicated and personal subject. It truly resides above all the "noise" surrounding the subject of menopause. I've had a case of analysis paralysis trying to make sense of the tomes of materials available, so I'm both thrilled and relieved to find so many answers to my questions here in one complete and comfortable source.
