A must read. * Dr Shireen Kassam, Consultant Haematologist and Founder of Plant-Based Health Professionals UK * Unfortunately society has made this stage of our lives something to be feared and dreaded... This sentence resonated with me. As a gynaecological oncologist, I often have to induce an early menopause by surgically removing ovaries for gynaecological cancers. In some women, the fear of menopause is greater than the fear of cancer. Social media abounds with myths about the menopause and in particular, there is a suggestion that all the unpleasant symptoms are inevitable. This book is timely and informative. It empowers women to take charge of their menopause by providing evidence-based options. It is suitable for the general public, as well as for doctors who do not specialise in the menopause [...] Dr Nitu simplifies a complex subject; I will certainly encourage patients, colleagues, friends and relatives to read it. * Miss Adeola Olaitan, FRCOG Consultant ObGyn *
