By the way, this is an excellent complement to Strong Women Stay Young. Considering that both books promote strength training regimens for middle-aged (and older) women, there is remarkably little overlap. This book teaches different exercises, and it will motivate you in different ways. The book explained several issues I didn't even realize I was experiencing until I read it here. I'm paying more attention to my body and my behavior now, all thanks to this book. (  ) noveltea | Feb 6, 2021 | This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.I'm 41. I've been pretty aware of the unpleasantness of perimenopause for about 2 years now. It sucks. It sucks a lot. Therefore, I was happy to get an advanced release copy of this book--but I felt some trepidation, too. There is a lot of junk science out there around the subject of menopause, and I knew nothing about the author, Amanda Thebe. I didn't know what to expect. Therefore, I was pleased to encounter a book that didn't focus on fad diets or miracle cures. Thebe's approach was blunt, honest, and sometimes profane: menopause sucks but here are some strategies to try to make it suck less. She addresses hormone replacement, incontinence, sexual issues, eating healthy (very common sense advice, too, no fads), stress, and exercise--including a fairly large portion near the end of the book with many photographs of different strength training moves along with a suggested regimen. Her attitude is always kind, and she's forthright about things she's tried or embarrassing things she's endured. I enjoyed the healthy attitude of this book. This isn't a book that screams at the reader, 'You missed a day of exercise! Start this 100-day routine from day 1 again!' No, she emphasizes that some days are too busy, or frankly, too miserable to do a full work-out, so take care of yourself and do what you can. She has the same approach to food. She brings up that women in this age group need more protein, and that fruits, vegetables, and less-processed foods are the way to go, but no food is banned. It's a common sense approach that doesn't feel that common these days. Not only am I going to keep this book around for reference, but I joined her sizable Facebook group, too. I'm curious about what else she has to say, as I know all too well I will need support as I go through this sucky stage of life.

HTML: "A kick-ass book on menopause. Do yourself a favor and pick up this gem."â??Dr. Jen Gunter, bestselling author of The Vagina Bible and The Menopause Manifesto Menopause and perimenopause are no laughing matterâ??but that doesn't stop Amanda Thebe from approaching her 50s with a sense of humor. In this hilarious and personal account, the fitness trainer shares how she lost weight, dealt with her depression, improved her sleep, and overhauled her diet to surviveâ??and thriveâ??during menopause. Now you can, too! Includes a Bonus Strength Training Guide for Women Over 40 At a time when menopause has become an urgent topic of public discussion, with the likes of Michelle Obama revealing their struggles for the first time, personal trainer Amanda Thebe shares her journey with bold and big-hearted writing that will be familiar to readers of Glennon Doyle. Readers will come away from the book with: A better understanding of your own hormones and how they factor in menopause and your overall health; Confidence to speak your truth about your menopause symptoms to your doctor, other health professionals, your family, and friends; Zero bull-sh*t tips for nutrition, fitness, vagina health, sex, and more.Amanda Thebe was working as a personal trainer and fitness coach when, at age 43, she started experiencing debilitating exhaustion, dizziness, and depression. The busy mother of two boys was used to traveling the world and climbing mountains. Now, she struggled to climb out of bed. After several failed doctor's appointments, Thebe saw her gynaecologist, who finally named the source of her struggles: perimenopause, the period of 5-10 years before menopause, when a woman's fluctuating estrogen levels put her at risk of depression, anxiety, headaches, and more ailments related to female hormone health. Empowered by information, Thebe began her journey back to her former self, overhauling her approach to diet, mental health, and exercise. In Menopocalypse, she explains how to deal with migraines, hot flashes, weight gain, exhaustion, poor sleep, vaginal dryness, and mood swingsâ??offering tips that have worked for her and others. She shares information about hormone therapy. She even shares her own strength-training routine, complete with a suggested workout schedule, easy-to-follow instructions, and pictures of herself doing the exercises, so you can feel empowered, fit, and ready to tackle the day. Menopause isn't fun, sexy, or cool, and a woman might spend one-third of her life in itâ??but that doesn't mean women should suffer in silence without support. Let the outspoken and honest Amanda Thebe be your guide to survivingâ??and thrivingâ??du No library descriptions found. |
