Klappentext

What if everything you've been told about midlife and menopause is wrong?

For too long, women have been fed fear and confusion about hormones, aging, and what it means to navigate midlife. The result is a generation of women left guessing about their own bodies, misinformed by outdated science, and held back by myths that serve no one.

This book is not here to tell you what to do; it's here to give you the knowledge to decide for yourself because women like you are smart. You'll learn the truth about what happens to your body in midlife, how hormones actually work (without the hype or fearmongering), and evidence-based strategies to feel your best and the power to live life on your terms - in health and with science-backed strategies for your longevity.

Midlife isn't an ending. It's an evolution. And when you understand what's happening in your body, you can step into this next chapter with confidence, clarity, and power.
