Hot Times

Looking for a natural way to treat hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia, and menopausal weight gain without the dangerous side effects of HRT? 

In HOT TIMES, Dr. Ann Louise explains the latest research on women's health and nutrition and confirms what she has been teaching for years - that menopausal symptoms are not medical problems to be treated with pills and hormone therapy. They are the result of years of improper eating, insufficient exercise, and poor lifestyle habits that have taxed the adrenals, leaving some women with unbalanced body systems that cause many health risks.  In HOT TIMES you will also find out:

• How to know when you are likely to reach menopause

• The latest natural food discovery that can alleviate hot flashes

• Why mega dosing with calcium may be depleting your body of the calcium it needs

• Why women need essential fats in their diet - where to find them and how much to consume

• Why the heart-healthy diets recommended by doctors may spell trouble for women

In this completely revised edition of her popular book, Super Nutrition for Menopause, Dr. Ann Louise provides a diet built from unprocessed, unrefined, and natural foods, including green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits, whole grains, good fats, fish, and lean meats. With all-new recipes, a revitalizing exercise program, and lifestyle tips, HOT TIMES will help ensure that the postmenopausal years are a time in a woman's life when she is rewarded with good health and a renewed zest for living.

Excerpt: A New Perspective on Menopause

“Menopause is big business, and we menopausal women have become a prime target market. Unfortunately, the health problems that become a greater risk for women at menopause-heart disease, cancer, and osteoporosis-are being linked solely to menopause. This narrow view discounts numerous biochemical, dietary, and lifestyle factors that have been in play for many years of a woman's life, long before menopause, leaving many a female body totally out of balance. This view also disempowers us, implying that we have no control over what is happening to our bodies. But we know better.”
