Given that millions of women have entered menopause each year since the dawn of time, it's crazy that menopause still feels like uncharted territory for the women who are going through it. Dr. Heather Hirsch is committed to changing that. Unlocking Your Menopause Type helps women cut through the informational noise and learn how to manage their symptoms most effectively by identifying their personal Menopause Type(s).
This is not a one-size fits all solution. Unlocking Your Menopause Type features a helpful quiz to identify women's individual Menopause Type(s) such as:
–Premature
–Sudden
–Full-Throttle
–Mind-Altering
–Seemingly Never-ending
–Silent
Each type gets a full prescription for exercises, diet and strategies to regain mental focus and make menopause a regulation part of maturity rather than a rollercoaster ride of unexpected symptoms and discomfort.
The book also includes:
–The last word on whether to replace declining hormones (the answer is custom-built)
–What to do if you're a combination of types
–How to get on top of (as it were) changes in your sex life
–Crowd-sourced tips and tricks from Dr. Hirsch's friend group and patients
Dr. Hirsch addresses the physical and emotional challenges of menopause and provides solutions from her years of practice. With knowledge, priorities, and a plan, you can feel great through midlife and beyond.

      Like puberty, menopause is a universal experience for all women. But how they experience it varies a great deal. Hormonal changes can cause hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and thinning hair, which are among the reasons patients visit Hirsch, clinical program director of the Menopause and Midlife Clinic at Brigham & Women's Hospital. Some women tell her, "I feel like someone has taken over my body." Based on tracking more than 1,000 patients in her clinical practice, Hirsch has identified six menopause types, including premature menopause (before age 40) and sudden menopause (typically from chemotherapy or surgery). She talks about options like hormone therapy, which she notes is "complicated" and "often polarizing." (Women taking estrogen and progestin showed an increased risk for breast cancer, heart disease, stroke, and blood clots.) Hirsch dispels myths; no, men do not go through menopause. She offers advice, some of which is generic (for hot flashes, avoid common triggers like spicy foods and alcohol), and some of which is more fun ("motion is lotion"). In all, this is a useful, practical, and reliable source rooted in research.
