Before the Change: Taking Charge of Your Perimenopause

I have updated, revised and expanded my New York Times bestseller Before the Change: Taking Charge of Your Perimenopause. It takes a fresh approach to the perimenopausal stage of life by identifying the root cause of common discomforts like mood swings, insomnia, lack of energy and weight gain around the middle. I demonstrate how the decades old misguided no-to-low-fat dietary advice and the insidious effects from man-made chemicals in the environment are now making menopausal symptoms worse than ever.

To make matters worse, the old conventional treatments no longer work and often make perimenopause more challenging than ever before.

With my Ten Perimenopause Zappers, I explain how to harness the healing power of foods, lifestyle, essential fatty acids and herbs for smooth sailing during perimenopause. I also make a strong case for the importance of backup support for strong adrenals and the liver—the most important overlooked organ of all during this phase of life.

Although this book is focused around the perimenopausal phase of life—the period of about 10 years leading up to menopause—it is applicable to women of all stages of life, 18 to 80. Today’s environmental threats from synthetic chemicals that mimic natural hormones have created an environment where shockingly young women can begin to pre-maturely experience symptoms of the change before the change.

Inside Before the Change, readers will discover:

• A clear explanation of the symptoms of perimenopause and a self-diagnosis quiz.
• The importance of the liver and bile in supporting a healthy menopause.
• The importance of choline, inositol and methionine for the liver and quality bile in helping to contribute to a healthy perimenopause.
• How copper overload and zinc deficiency is connected to estrogen balance.
• Safe and natural alternatives to hormone therapy, including healing vitamins, minerals, herbs, and natural hormones.
• A guide to nutrition and healthy diet, with tips for foods and the ‘sexy fats’ that prevent and alleviate symptoms.
• An expanded section on the pros and cons of soy as a natural phytoestrogen.
• An expanded discussion of hypothyroidism, its connection to hormonal imbalances, and the best natural treatments.
• A full analysis of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including advice for safely weaning yourself off of synthetic hormones, and an overview of herbal, lifestyle, and diet options and modifications available for women with estrogen dominance and estrogen related diseases who also suffer from unresolved thyroid issues and are without a gall bladder.

Timely and urgent, this essential do-it-yourself program will help everyone say goodbye to hormone havoc and welcome hormone heaven simply, safely, and naturally.
