Cracking the Menopause: While Keeping Yourself Together

Product Information

Through relatable anecdotes and straightforward advice, this audiobook cleared the mist surrounding menopause, debunking myths left and right.

What I appreciate most is the author provides options for managing the symptoms of menopause so each woman can find a solution that meets her needs and compliments her lifestyle.

We’re convinced that better understanding menopause will benefit us all, young and old, male and female, and that for too long it’s been swathed in secrecy and shame. I know she is heterosexual, (she tells you enough times), that doesn't mean accepting a limited view of what is possible sexually.

If you want to discover all the answers to your most burning menopause questions (no pun intended), then keep listening. I’m kinda glad that I only have Cracking the Menopause on a Kindle so I can’t do that and it’s mine forever.Mariella shares her own journey through the menopause, along with the latest science, advice from leading experts and humorous illustrations - to provide an informative source of wisdom and enlightenment.

Instead, it more than fulfils its aim to give you a thorough, all-round guide to menopause, from the science to the impact on our life and spirit. It's fascinating, and a little scary that men are so ignorant about something that will probably significantly affect someone they've lived with for two decades! So, if you want to unravel the mysteries of the menopause and make it work in harmony with your daily life, you need this audiobook today! There is so much information here, that it can be a lot to take in, but I plan to get a hard copy (having enjoyed the audiobook) so that I can use it as a reference book too.My other disagreement is her insistence in several places of equating gender with genitals, which was just unnecessary and hugely problematic. In terms of finding what helped her, she is very much based in the medical model, there is an interesting and much needed defence of HRT, although again I would have liked some balance of the natural alternatives. Written in Mariella Frostrup’s distinctive voice, it’s like having a chat with a familiar female friend who has been there, got the t shirt and SURVIVED!
