In the first edition of this important bestselling book, praised by Newsday as “the bible for a whole generation of menopausal women,” renowned physician and pioneering women’s health advocate Dr. Susan Love warned about the potential dangers of the long-term prescription of hormone replacement therapy. Her insightful words of caution have been backed up by the stunning results of the contemporary studies on hormone replacement.

In this revised edition, Dr. Love offers a remarkably clear set of guidelines as to what the studies have shown about the risks regarding heart disease, breast cancer, stroke, and other conditions, and what effect hormone therapy has on osteoporosis. She offers definitive expert advice about whether or not to go on hormone replacement therapy and, if that is so, for how long, in addition to how to taper off hormones; and she introduces the alternative methods for treating the symptoms of menopause.

Dr. Love stresses that menopause is not a disease that must be cured—this can be a natural life stage, and every woman ought to select her own mix of options for coping with symptoms. A questionnaire about your own health history and life preferences helps you develop a program so as to best fit your unique needs. With clarity and compassion, she walks you through every option for both the short and the long run, including:

• way of life changes (diet, exercise, and stress management)
• alternative therapies (including herbs and homeopathic remedies)
• to be had medications other than hormones
