You have been misled about menopause. This comprehensive guide based on the latest research in aging, women's health, and HRT dispels decades of misinformation.

The Great Menopause Myth is your essential resource for optimized menopause care.
More than simply an end to fertility, menopause is a time when a woman's health can spin out of control. The hormonal shifts of menopause impact everything from body composition and immune system function to increased risk of chronic health conditions such as cancer, diabetes, dementia, heart disease, and osteoporosis.
If you're lucky enough to even be offered menopause treatment, traditional protocols, based on decades-old shoddy science and erroneous research conclusions, have gotten it wrong. Badly wrong. For years, conventional wisdom—and medical practice—have told women nothing needs to change in their lifestyle or healthcare at midlife, and they should just white-knuckle the discomfort of hot flashes, sleeplessness, weight gain and loss of muscle mass, mood swings, painful sex, joint pain, and incontinence as if it will all just (magically) go away in a decade or two.
The Great Menopause Myth shows you how to age wise and well at midlife and beyond. Learn actionable steps and guidelines to curate an optimized menopause regimen based on your unique health considerations.

  • Nutrition, exercise, and sleep hygiene at midlife: Best practices for aging healthy
  • Thyropause, fatty liver disease, and gut health: The overlooked systems that need attention during menopause
  • HRT or MHT: What is the difference and does it matter? (hint: it does!!)
  • Not all HRT is created equal: Low dose or physiologic? Static or rhythmic? Continuous or cyclic? Creams, gels, patches, injections, pills, or pellets? Learn how to choose the best option for you.
  • When HRT is truly not an option: Supplements and integrative options for menopause care

  • Centered on your overall health and happiness, The Great Menopause Myth offers a welcome new narrative on menopause.

        “No woman gets to avoid menopause but she can avoid its impacts,” according to this inconsistent debut guide. Holistic nutritionist Johnson and health coach Claps explain that decreases in estrogen production during menopause put women at higher risk of insulin resistance, metabolic disease, and low-grade inflammation. To prevent such outcomes, they extol the benefits of hormone therapy, discussing how it prevents bone loss, decreases the risk of breast cancer, and is “the most effective treatment for hot flashes.” With the bulk of the book devoted to explaining how hormone therapy works and why women should feel safe undergoing the treatment, it’s confusing that Johnson and Claps wait several chapters before clarifying that hormone therapy “is not nor should it be the first tool for women to use when creating a plan to combat the functional declines and to thrive in midlife.” Unfortunately, the authors don’t spend nearly as much time discussing alternative strategies for managing symptoms through diet, exercise, and sleep, and the advice they do provide also gets snarled in contradiction. For instance, their initial assertion that the amount of carbs one consumes “needs to be tailored to you as an individual” clashes with their later preference for “eliminating most carbs.” This will leave readers confused.
