With this workbook, youwill learn exactly what is happening to your body during this transition and create a personalized treatment plan to help you feel better right away. Also included are easy-to-use worksheets and charts so that you can track and manage your symptoms and determine which treatments are working. Whether you are looking for an alternative to HRT, or simply want to supplement your treatment, this workbook is an essential resource for gaining control over your menopausesymptoms.
This comprehensive program will help you:
— Recognize symptoms and create an individualized treatment plan — Manage hot flashes, night sweats, and insomnia — Cope with anxiety, depression, and mood swings — Discover natural and alternative therapies — Make diet, lifestyle, and environmental changes
