Summary:
The time is ripe for a book that lifts negative connotations around the experience of peri-menopause/menopause and Dr Mansberg is perfectly placed to do just that. A practicing GP and mother who has just turned 50 herself, Ginni has written a solution-focused book for understanding, embracing and (even) enjoying this stage in a woman's life. She outlines medical science, explaining what happens at a cellular level in the body once key hormones begin to diminish; she details symptoms and experience; then explores pros and cons of treatment options such as MHT Menopause Hormone Therapy and Botox, as well as home remedies like best foods to eat, most effective exercise regime, and tips on how increase neuroplasticity. All this she delivers with her customary good humour, sharing personal anecdotes along with facts that will help women make informed choices about their health and well-being.
