Prepare for and take control of your menopause with targeted nutrition and nourishing recipes to manage hormonal fluctuations, minimize symptoms, and optimize your physical and emotional health.

For anyone anticipating or experiencing menopause, this is the ideal nutrition and lifestyle cookbook to inspire and empower you throughout this time of change and transformation.

Menopause can make you feel less in control of your body and mind--cooking delicious and nutritious food to prioritize your well-being is a powerful way to reclaim some of that lost sense of self. In addition to those already experiencing symptoms and who may or may not be taking prescription medication, Deliciously Healthy: Menopause also appeals to those who want to take ownership of their reproductive health and prepare themselves well in advance for the hormonal upheavals to come.

Deliciously Healthy: Menopause is a book of two halves. The first section introduces the "food as medicine" approach with an expertly tailored, nutrient-rich nutrition and lifestyle plan to balance hormones, maintain bone and tissue strength, and boost mood. The author addresses the key areas of nutrition that can influence menopausal symptoms, enabling readers to personalize their eating to suit their unique needs. She also outlines the crucial role lifestyle plays--covering stress, physical activity, sleep, and social connection--giving readers strategies to achieve balance across all aspects of their lives.

The second half of the book helps readers put this plan into practice with over 80 flavor-packed recipes that embrace everything that's good for metabolic and hormonal health. You can tailor each recipe to target a specific symptom or to suit your unique needs and preferences. With vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free options, it's easy to slot these recipes into your life--and instantly feel the benefit.
