This self-help book is based on audience responses to the author's radio programmes in New Zealand that dealt with menopause, and also a survey of 500 women's experiences. The book details the physical and emotional changes of the menopause and what causes them. It includes advice on treatments, about how to help oneself through better nutrition, exercise and self-screening for cancers, but above all, how to boost any flagging morale and change direction if necessary.
