As it turns out, menopause has the potential to be a gateway into an exciting and fulfilling phase of life…but only if we pay attention to the very things outlined in this wonderful book—the health of our minds, bodies, and spirits. We are not designed to disintegrate after the age of 50. We are meant to flourish. Beyond Menopause lays out the blueprint.

Women are advised to create an adaptable network of practitioners to accommodate changing needs—their own “web of wellness.”Beyond Menopause brings a fresh perspective to the mental, physical, and spiritual elements of holistic living.
