Aging Women Menopause

It’s time to change the way we think about menopause. While medicine and popular culture fixate on menopause as a decline of women’s bodies and minds, we can choose to honor and embrace the powerful gifts that come to us in our elder years. With Making Sense of Menopause, this renowned women’s health practitioner offers a powerful and practical guide to experiencing perimenopause and menopause as a natural gateway into the next vital, exciting, and meaningful phase of our lives.

For too long, women have been approaching menopause with a sense of dread and finality. Often, they don't want to talk about it until they're undeniably experiencing it—and even then might suffer symptoms in silence, either embarrassed to speak openly, or dejectedly resigned to thinking that years of discomfort and mood swings are just unavoidable. An M.D. with an appealing east-meets-west approach to women's health, Dr. Tasneem (known as Dr. Taz) has spent her career battling these outdated stereotypes and mindsets.

More than 80% of women worldwide struggle with hormone imbalances, and many don’t even realize hormones are the real problem when it comes to their basic health and happiness. Women start on a rollercoaster of hormone changes from puberty onwards. Monthly menses, pregnancies and childbirth, and then perimenopause and menopause are bad enough…but we are also contending with a range of further complications that mess our bodies up hormonally. Unhealthy foods, toxic chemicals, hectic lifestyles, and more all add to the mix.

Every woman goes through menopause. Yet, most women know very little about the menopause transition, which is the most monumental hormonal change in a woman’s life. This change influences our physical, mental, and emotional health.

There’s not enough talk around women’s health, and what little there is rarely helps. Women are routinely warned, lectured, or threatened about their health. Or they are ignored, dismissed, or shamed. But they are rarely empowered. And empowerment, more than anything, is what women—and women of color, in particular—need. Grown Woman Talk is for every woman who has felt marginalized or overwhelmed by a healthcare system that has become more impersonal, complex, and difficult to navigate than ever.
