Amanda Thebe breaks down menopause in an easy-to-understand way, and delivers science-based diet and lifestyle recommendations with levity and clarity. I’m buying a copy for all of my friends.”—Abby Langer, RD, author of Good Food, Bad Diet“Perimenopause and menopause can be very difficult times for women, both physically and emotionally.
