You have been misled about menopause. This comprehensive guide based on the latest research in aging, women’s health, and HRT dispels decades of misinformation.

The Great Menopause Myth is your essential resource for optimized menopause care.

More than simply an end to fertility, menopause is a time when a woman’s health can spin out of control. The hormonal shifts of menopause impact everything from body composition and immune system function to increased risk of chronic health conditions such as cancer, diabetes, dementia, heart disease, and osteoporosis.

If you’re lucky enough to even be offered menopause treatment, traditional protocols, based on decades-old shoddy science and erroneous research conclusions, have gotten it wrong. Badly wrong. For years, conventional wisdom—and medical practice—have told women nothing needs to change in their lifestyle or healthcare at midlife, and they should just white-knuckle the discomfort of hot flashes, sleeplessness, weight gain and loss of muscle mass, mood swings, painful sex, joint pain, and incontinence as if it will all just (magically) go away in a decade or two.

The Great Menopause Myth shows you how to age wise and well at midlife and beyond. Learn actionable steps and guidelines to curate an optimized menopause regimen based on your unique health considerations.

Nutrition, exercise, and sleep hygiene at midlife: Best practices for aging healthy Thyropause, fatty liver disease, and gut health: The overlooked systems that need attention during menopauseHRT or MHT: What is the difference and does it matter? (hint: it does!!)Not all HRT is created equal: Low dose or physiologic? Static or rhythmic? Continuous or cyclic? Creams, gels, patches, injections, pills, or pellets? Learn how to choose the best option for you.When HRT is truly not an option: Supplements and integrative options for menopause care

Centered on your overall health and happiness, The Great Menopause Myth offers a welcome new narrative on menopause.

Title: The most important MUST READ for every woman over 35
Review: This book should have 6 stars!!! This is a must read for EVERY SINGLE WOMAN.... no matter the age. Woman are not educated on how their bodies and hormones work and impact of the loss of hormones. The authors, Kristen and Maria do a fantastic job of breaking down the important, need to know information in an easy to understand way. They help you see menopause isn't just about hot flashes but how the loss of hormones over time changes everything in the body and how the transition starts way earlier than we think! I am in early perimenopause and the symptoms came as a surprise to me (and my provider). After reading this book, I feel smarter than my healthcare provider and ready to take control of my health. I can't recommend this book enough. The midlife transition is coming for all of us ladies, one way or another. We will spend 1/2 to 1/3 of our lifetime without functioning hormones. We need this education, empowerment and resource to THRIVE!

Title: You are not crazy and do not have to settle…
Review: You are not crazy……and you do not have to settle for “this is what happens when you get older.” Help has arrived!I’ve heard it said that 0-7% of doctors in medical school have been trained in menopause and 0% have been trained in perimenopause, which can begin in your mid-30s! That’s crazy! and it’s also the reason that you need this impressive and comprehensive guide to hormone replacement/HRT and midlife wellness. These ladies have provided an easy to read, A to Z resource that will help you educate yourself (friends, daughters, even husbands!) and advocate for your own health.I wish I’d had this book about 20 yrs ago! The anxiety, depression, insomnia, aches and pains, weight gain, mood swings, etc I felt were not all due to stress, just part of aging or even due to an antidepressant deficiency! As I was experiencing this midlife transition, I needed help with my hormones, metabolic and gut health, movement, sleep and stress management. Just as important, I also wanted long term protection for my heart, bones and brain. In this book, you will learn how our changing hormones impact all of this and more.Do not wait! Educate yourself; then go advocate for yourself! This season of life should be a blessing and not feel like a curse!

Title: Essential information every women needs to know!
Review: The information in this book is life changing. Many doctors are not well educated in hormones, so we need to be to advocate for ourselves. This book is a fantastic guide you can use to educate yourself and others. It is a deep dive into hormones and how our body uses them, what options are available, and the pitfalls to avoid in our midlife journeys, including when you shouldn’t supplement with hormones and what else you can do. The authors include so much technical information and references to all the studies to back up their research and knowledge. I’ve bought copies for my friends, and my primary care provider - this knowledge needs to be put there. Thank you Kristin a Maria, your teaching has changed my life.

Title: A primer on menopause
Review: I loved this book - factual with receipts to back up the information in the way of extensive research and the studies to show for it. Easy to read, very informative and organized great. This should be part of every young girl's education - and more importantly for the people who care for women. Arm yourselves with information to counter all the noise and outdated stories associated with menopause. We need to be smarter, louder and more determined to fight back and insist upon and demand the care we are owed! This book is a great start for that!

Title: A must read to help you enjoy the very best years with the most optimal health possible!
Review: This book is a must read for every woman!!!! In my early thirties, while struggling to get pregnant, I came across a great book about fertility. This fertility book taught me things about my body and menstrual cycles I never knew and wished someone had taught me long before. The information in the book was incredibly timely for the fertile years of my life. Now in my mid 50s, and searching for similar help to navigate the midlife, menopausal years, I came across Kristin and Maria’s book, “The Great Menopause Myth: The Truth on Mastering Midlife Hormonal Mayhem, Beating Uncomfortable Symptoms and Aging to Thrive.” This book helps to quiet the noise heard across social media, podcasts, books, online articles, and from practitioners and health coaches who profess to be menopause experts, many who have never even experienced menopause themselves. All this noise includes the promotion of supplements and other miracle treatments sure to “balance” your hormones, shrink your menopause belly, and take you back to your 30s. “With an estimated 1.2 billion women worldwide becoming post-menopausal by 2030, influencers, innovators, and investors are starting to pay attention to a market that has been long overlooked.” And in this market where women are desperate for answers to manage their symptoms, unexplained weight gain, and healthy aging outcomes, these folks realize you’ll spend your hard-earned money on the many great promises they present to you. Don’t fall for the myths! At least not before you’ve read this book by the Wise and Well ladies!The Great Menopause Myth will arm you will all the knowledge you need to tackle the midlife, menopausal years. You’ll learn all about the things that will help you age with a quality of life that may feel out of reach at this point. With a look at metabolic health, nutrition, lifestyle and movement, gut health, quality sleep, among many other topics, you’ll be armed with the tools you need to feel good and enjoy life. There’s a full discussion about hormone restoration including a look at the research, testing options for evaluation of your metabolic health and hormone therapy performance, an HRT decision tree, and a guide to finding an HRT practitioner. Even if you feel HRT is not for you, you’ll learn about why that might be, and about ways to optimize your quality of life if hormone restoration is truly not for you.Hitting midlife doesn’t have to mean decreasing health, and not feeling well. Arm yourself with The Great Menopause Myth and enjoy the very best years of your life with the most optimal health possible.

Review: This is must have knowledge for any woman over 35, knowledge I wish I’d had in my 30s. I find it so important that I bought more than one and am giving them as gifts to the midlife women in my life. This book will show you that there is SO much you can do in midlife to feel great and age healthfully.Kristen and Maria, the authors, break the information down into bite-size, easy to understand sections. Covering topics from midlife nutrition to hormone therapy and where the science went wrong that led women to be afraid. If you’re on or interested in HRT in midlife, the info in this book is a must to make well informed decisions on what’s truly best for your body, health and goals.If you buy just one book on menopause (and I hope you don't) this would be the one!

Review: This book answered a lot of questions i had and gave me a clear way forward.I am constantly shocked at how difficult it is to get medical advice on this issue in Australia. Yet the recommendations in this book are sound and resonate with where i have ended up after stumbling around in the dark looking for advice for a few years.I am also a health practitioner and manly clients are mostly middle age women. My niche is not menopause and i do not advise on hrt.However i have observed through working with over 3000 clients that the dietary and other lifestyle interventions mentioned in this book are bang on for my client base. This is especially true for the dietary advice.I am therefore perplexed by dietician readers critical review as i do not feel it accurately represents the books premise which is one of there being no right answer and pro informed choice.They are also not flogging their program! Indeed, much of the lifestyle advise is in enough detail that it can be implemented for free.We would all like more studies on everything ( womens health is highly underrepresented in research spending and study participants) however in the absence of studies clinical experience counts a lot and in my opinion this book generously shares this clinical experience.In short by the end of this book i had a very clear plan about how to approach menopause with or without HRT
