Editorial Review:

Menopausal weight gain is "the most stubborn weight gain you'll ever experience," says Debra Waterhouse in Outsmarting the Midlife Fat Cell. This book follows her bestselling Outsmarting the Female Fat Cell, customizing the program for women ages 35 to 55. The book is easy to read, makes difficult concepts simple to understand, and has helpful checklists to keep you on track. Outsmarting the Midlife Fat Cell explains the role of fat cells before and during menopause and why midlife weight gain is such a pervasive problem. A woman's 30 billion fat cells get bigger and "more stubborn" during midlife, explains Waterhouse, because when they detect a lowered estrogen level, they step in to produce more estrogen and get larger as they get more active. Dieting doesn't work; instead of slimming your body, it thins your hair, muscles, skin, bones--and thinking. To combat these effects, Waterhouse explains how to work with your new menopausal physiology to minimize weight gain. You learn strategies of attitude, exercise, eating habits (including dealing with cravings), food choices, and stress management. For example, exercise at midlife fights fatigue, reduces mental sluggishness, improves sleep, stabilizes moods, reduces the severity of hot flashes, strengthens bones, and reduces the risk of breast cancer and heart disease. --Joan Price

Sudden Menopause - nothing new here 1 out of 5 stars.
6 of 14 people found this review helpful.

This book is no different than any other book on the subject of menopause except that it informs you that if you have sudden menopause the symptoms appear at once instead of gradually. You do not need to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out! In sudden meopause you experience the symptoms immediately instead of over a period of years and the solutions to dealing with the symptoms are the same whether menopause is sudden or gradual. Do not waste your money if you have read any other book on the subject of menopause because you will not learn anything new.

A book every woman should read 5 out of 5 stars.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1993 which made my body go into sudden menopause . I had been suffering with early menopausal symptoms night sweats for a couple of years. This is a terrific book it also gives you information on how to talk to your doctor, nutrition and weight management, keeping your heart healthy,and insight on vitamins, herbs, and supplements. The writer is a person who has been there herself and is always willing to share with other women her thoughts ,information and support they need to adjust to the impact it has on their lives.
There are a lot of books printed each day about menopause but this one is the best it gives you a personal and professional point of view. I highly recommend every women should read it from cover to cover. The information I found inside helped me get through my cancer treatments and as of this year I am a 13 year survivor. This is a book that you can always use as a reference material for medical information at anytime. From begining to end the reader can navigate easily from each chapter to the next. I enjoyed the book very much and learned a lot and would hope that other women would do the same.

Editorial Review:

This book provides answers for women not quite at midlife who undergo menopause brought on by a hysterectomy, anorexia, chemotherapy, or a reaction to medication. Topics covered include hot flashes, emotional instability, osteoporosis prevention, and heart disease. Each subject is addressed medically and holistically, with a thorough description of coping options.

7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I obtained this book from my HRT/Anti-Aging doctor's office. It is short on commentary and packed with facts with references for further reading if desired. The short book, 86 pages, plus references, is packed with information about hormones and how they work in the body. This is an easy to read book that guides the reader on how the various hormones are inter-related and how they affect your over all health. The book also promotes natural (bio-identical) hormone therapy over synthetic hormones. Although short, it is rich in facts and details that every woman over 40 should know about hormones and hormone therapy. Highly recommended.

Editorial Review:

The silence that surrounds menopause is lifting -- but up until now, only for women.

In a survey of menopausal wives who were asked what they wanted most from their husbands, the most common reply was: "Understanding and support. I just wish he knew what I was going through." In response, the main goal of "NO IT'S NOT HOT IN HERE" is to help husbands understand menopause enough to support their wives. In order to create that understanding the book is written in a casual, anecdotal style and is short and easy to read. Yet it is still informative and full of the latest hard science.

The book begins with the basics, i.e., what happens inside a woman's body at menopause. Then, after explaining that each menopause will be different, the book goes on to discuss the physical and emotional changes that might accompany menopause and offers men advice about how to help their wives through this passage.

Husbands often approach menopause full of fear and misunderstanding. In response, the book includes a much-needed chapter about menopause and sex, then covers controversies like HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and hysterectomies. Because women are being presented with so many choices, the book also briefly discusses the alternatives to HRT, such as natural hormones, acupuncture, and rites of passage. The author is careful to caution husbands not to try to become the decision-maker, but rather an aware and informed support system in their wife's decision-making process.

Some men might want to blame their wives for their own problems. Others will need to learn new skills, such as how to listen, to gain understanding. Without being either overbearing or simplistic, the book has a chapter for men about their own mid-life changes and a chapter with commonsense advice about relationships during menopause. "NO IT'S NOT HOT IN HERE" concludes with a "Word to the Wives," a must-read chapter for women who want to understand and help their husbands help them through menopause.

Editorial Review:

Yoga expert Suza Francina offers women a natural solution for becoming physically, emotionally and spiritually stronger.

"Hormone Treatment Is Called Harmful"-Washington Post, 7/10/02 "Estrogen Use Linked to Higher Cancer Risk"-Boston Globe, 7/17/02

31.2 million women facing menopause in America are concerned by these headlines. Most women today will live over one-third of their lives post-menopausal, but what about the age-old solution of hormone replacement therapy? In 2002 the U.S. government halted a major study of hormone therapy because it increased the risk of invasive breast cancer. Now, millions of women are left wondering whether they should approach menopause without hormones, suffering from hot flashes and low sex drive or take hormones and live in fear of being another statistic. Suza Francina has a simpler solution: Yoga.

In this practical book, Francina, a leading yogi and author of The New Yoga for People Over 50, shows how yoga can be a powerful tool to help women turn menopause into a positive and empowering experience, both physically and spiritually. Included are easy-to-follow indexed photos of yoga poses that alleviate key menopausal problems including: hormonal changes; hot flashes; irregular bleeding; fibroids; stress and anxiety; mood swings; depression and fatigue; bone loss; heart disease and cancer.

Francina delivers a timely and truly heartening message to women: you don't have to get weaker or depressed when facing menopause, it can truly be an empowering, restorative time.
