The book eases lots of those worries and gives lots of ways to understand what your body could be going through. And how to ease symptoms in a more natural way vs relying on doctors and their pills.
Would recommend buying the hard copy as you will want to skip bits. Plus I know I want to go back to bits to remember how something works.

I have recommended this book to many of my friends and will continue to do so.
So many books on puberty and nothing on coming out the other end.
Fantastic advice on symptoms- what they mean - and specific advice on how to curb them.
A must read for every woman 40+
