The Essential Book for Every Woman Over 35

You’re in the prime of life. As far as you know, menopause could be years away. So why is your body sending you such weird messages?

Women today can’t have the funds for to lose time and energy to the common, but continuously misdiagnosed, symptoms of perimenopause — from mood swings and stubborn extra pounds to hot flashes and insomnia — that precedemenopause by as much as a decade.

In this lively and solution-packed book, renowned ob/gyn Dr. Laura Corio provides all the information you want to take charge of your physical and emotional well-being:

• Hormone remedy before menopause, including all the new, natural, and low-dose forms that are making this a safe choice for more women

• Herbs, soy, and other alternative therapies that are backed by solid medical research

• How perimenopause affects fertility — and what to do if you wish to get pregnant

• How your skin, hair, and nails reflect deeper changes — and how to make them vibrant again

• Ways to combat cancer fears — and what tests you absolutely must have

• Whether a high-protein diet is right for you — and what vitamins and minerals you should be taking

• What to do now to give protection to your breasts, uterus, bones, and heart in the years to come

• Diet and exercises to prevent or minimize symptoms, and much more!
“There is no need to be a martyr!” insist the authors of The Change Before the Change: Everything You Need to Know to Stay Healthy in the Decade Before Menopause, ob-gyn Laura E. Corio and health writer Linda G. Kahn. They wrote The Change for women, on a regular basis over 35, who have started experiencing one of the symptoms that indicate that menopause is approaching. This transition time, which can last for several years before menstrual periods stop, is called perimenopause. Symptoms may include “irregular bleeding, hot flashes, palpitations, mood swings, headaches, insomnia, memory loss, vaginal itching and dryness, lack of libido, dry skin and hair, weight gain.” The Change documents how perimenopausal women can counter these symptoms by adding certain vitamins, minerals, herbs, and foods to their diet; making simple lifestyle changes; and using hormone preparations, including natural hormones and low-dose estrogen. At the same time, Corio and Kahn wisely stress that relief isn’t a quick fix, but should be an ongoing collaboration between you and your doctor. “Your body is not a car that you simply take to the shop for a new set of spark plugs,” they say. “It’s a complicated, fascinating organism that are meant to command your full interest and attention.”

The book covers the symptoms of perimenopause; changes in fertility; long-term health of the heart, breasts, reproductive organs, thyroid, and bones; and therapies including medical treatments, supplements, and herbs. Corio and Kahn don’t tell you what to do if you’re encountering perimenopausal symptoms; rather, they introduce you to your options, as if you were a patient asking for advice. Many case studies and anecdotes from Corio’s own patients make The Change lively and involving. –Joan Price
