This book is very thorough in explaining the physical mechanisms behind menopause as well as the emotional issues. It is a very indepth look at all the current medical treatments and holistic approaches to menopause. I would highly recommend it to anyone going through or preparing to go through that change in life.

Collaborative written by family nurse practitioner Lennie Martin and freelance writer and herbalist Pam Jung, Taking Care Of The Change: A Holistic Approach To The Three Phases Of Menopause covers both the physical and emotional sides of adjusting to the onset of menopause in older women. From coping with hormone changes and getting screened for ovarian cancer, to weathering stress, making a spiritual journey, and adopting a new archetype (alchemist, Queen, Wise Woman, etc.) for oneself, Taking Care Of The Change is thorough, personable, informative, and highly recommended reading that speaks directly to a universal women's health issue.
