For significant milestones, significant books: first, Our
Bodies, Ourselves, then What to Expect When You’re
Expecting, and now, Is it Hot in Here? Or is it me? The
Complete Guide to Menopause. Written with an uncompromising
intelligence and wit by two award-winning Newsweek
journalists, Is it Hot in Here? Or is it me? is the
essential, comprehensive, up-to-the-minute, deeply
optimistic book for the millions of women in their
forties-to-sixties. The menopause transition—so often mysterious—varies greatly
from woman to woman. Finally, here is the one book that
makes the full scope of it accessible and understood. It
covers the role of hormones and the controversy over hormone
therapy. The truth about hot flashes . . . and how to deal
with one in the middle of a meeting. A top-to-bottom
assessment of the aches, pains, and assorted ills that can
afflict menopausal women. The impact on sexuality, and how
to counteract that wavering libido. (Yes, it’s possible to
buy a sex toy without the neighbors—or the children— finding
out.) There are chapters on memory (how to protect it),
moods (how to ride them out), and sleep (how to get it). And
then an entire section on using this period as a springboard
to staying healthy, feeling great, and looking beautiful for
the next act in your life. A complete approach to losing
middle-age weight (and tips on finding jeans that will make
you look as if you’ve had a tummy tuck). The essential
exercises to keep bones strong. Dealing with dry skin and
thinning hair. Habits (and recipes) to begin to encourage
heart health now.
