Menopause Today : A Complete Guide for South African Women by Nicole Jaff

Description

Nicole has tremendous empathy for helping women understand what is happening to them during menopause and her empowering approach to wellness means women walk away knowing and believing menopause can be a positive time of vibrant health and happiness.

The pressure on women to remain forever young can make menopause a time you approach with dread. The thought of battling with hot flushes, uncontrollable weight gain, brittle bones, mood swings and memory loss can plunge you into depression. Is menopause really the end of life as you know it? Nicole Jaff understands the pressures and the confusion experienced by women in menopause or approaching menopause and acts as their guide through the maze of conflicting theories, the advertisements of companies offering cure-alls and the array of medical options offered by doctors.

In her trademark style — thoroughly researched, clearly written and with an essential touch of humour — Nicole explains the theories, the claims and the myths surrounding menopause.

Nicole’s mission is the empowerment of mid-life women and she hopes they will achieve this through reading Menopause: Everything you need to know — the power to ask the right questions, to insist on being properly informed on their health options and the power to take an active part in their own health management.
