A surprising look at the role of menopause in human history--and why we should change the ways we think about it
Are the ways we look at menopause all wrong? Susan Mattern says yes and, in The Slow Moon Climbs, reveals just how wrong we have been. From the rainforests of Paraguay to the streets of Tokyo, Mattern draws on historical, scientific, and cultural research to show how perceptions of menopause developed from prehistory to today. Introducing new ways of understanding life beyond fertility, Mattern examines the fascinating "Grandmother Hypothesis," looks at agricultural communities where households relied on postreproductive women for the family's survival, and explores the emergence of menopause as a medical condition in the Western world. The Slow Moon Climbs casts menopause in the positive light it deserves--as an essential juncture and a key factor in human flourishing.

"Perimenopause and menopause can be very difficult times for women, both physically and emotionally. This book empower s] women with information and advice." --Dr. Louise Newson, GP and menopause specialist, developer of My Menopause Doctor
Discover new, effective remedies for menopause and perimenopause symptoms (migraines, hot flashes, mood swings, and more) in this powerful book, written by a fitness expert who experiences many--and shares her secret to thriving in good health.
Includes a Bonus Training Guide with Strength Workouts for Women Over 40
At a time when menopause has become an urgent, necessary topic of public discussion, with the likes of Michelle Obama revealing their struggles for the first time on the internet, personal trainer Amanda Thebe shares the roadmap she uses to thrive during perimenopause and menopause in Menopocalypse.
With funny, bold, and big-hearted writing that will be familiar to readers of Glennon Doyle, Amanda Thebe shares her menopause journey and what she learned along the way. Readers will come away from the book with:
A better understanding of your own hormones and how they factor in menopause and your overall health;
Confidence to speak your truth about your menopause symptoms to your doctor, other health professionals, your family, and friends;
Advice for achieving optimal health during perimenopause and menopause by changing your diet, fitness routine, and more lifestyle factors.
Amanda Thebe was working as a personal trainer and fitness coach when, at age 43, she began to experience debilitating exhaustion, dizziness, and depression. At the time, Thebe didn't know it was all related to her hormones. The busy mother of two, who was used to climbing mountains and traveling the world, only knew she struggled to get out of bed.
After several failed doctor's appointments, Thebe saw her gynaecologist, who finally named the source of her struggles: perimenopause, the period of 5-10 years before menopause, when a woman's fluctuating estrogen levels put her at risk of depression, anxiety, headaches, and more ailments related to female hormone health.
Empowered by information, Thebe began her journey back to her former self, overhauling her approach to diet and exercise. In Menopocalypse, she explains how to deal with migraines, hot flashes, weight gain, exhaustion, poor sleep, vaginal dryness, and mood swings--offering tips that have worked for her and others.
She shares information about hormone therapy. She even shares her own strength-training routine, complete with a suggested workout schedule, easy-to-follow instructions, and pictures of herself doing the exercises, so you can feel empowered, fit, and ready to tackle the day.
Menopause isn't fun, sexy, or cool, and a woman might spend one-third of her life in it--but that doesn't mean women should suffer in silence without support. Let the outspoken and honest Amanda Thebe be your guide to surviving--and thriving--during menopocalypse.

Menopause is a natural part of aging that usually occurs between 45 and 55 years of age, as a woman's estrogen levels decline.
Menopause is an empowering spiritual and physiological change.
In a wide diversity of ancient cultures from North American to Middle Eastern, African to Aborigine, and European to Icelanders, postmenopausal women are valued for their intuitive wisdom.
Menopause is a natural biological process. Unfortunately, for many women, some uncomfortable and unpleasant symptoms accompany this transition, such as hot flashes, and emotional symptoms of menopause may disrupt your sleep, lower your energy or affect emotional health.
Physicians routinely prescribe hormone replacement therapy for women experiencing premenopausal and menopausal symptoms. The risks and side effects of these hormone replacement drugs can be serious and even deadly.
Fortunately, there are safe alternative methods of effectively treating menopausal symptoms. One of these methods is aromatherapy.
