Brief Description:
The doctor known for her “Menopause Bootcamp” gatherings, shares her
360-degree holistic approach to this natural life stage in this empowering
and joyful guide to help women not just survive this physiological and
psychological transition, but thrive. Over the course of her twenty-year
medical career, Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz noticed a shocking dearth of
information and support for women beginning and experiencing menopause. For
too long, this crucial stage in women’s lives has been given perfunctory
notice in medical schools and is often either a hidden secret or the
punchline to a joke–denying women the information and support they need.
This disregard, coupled with the unconscious misogyny and ageism that run
rampant in our culture, portrays menopause as something to be afraid of,
and worse, adds a patina of shame around the blessing of aging and the
beginnings of a new, normal, and enriching phase in a woman’s life. Known
across Los Angeles for her Menopause Bootcamp retreats, Dr. Suzanne, as her
patients call her, believes that the 27 million women entering menopause
each year deserve thoughtful, candid, modern, holistic information about
the physical and psychological issues that arise in this transitional
stage, including changes in libido, metabolism, body image, and fears over
genetic age-related illnesses. She contends that menopause is a whole life
condition and deserves a wide-ranging approach that combines meditation,
yoga, therapy, herbal supplements, along with the most-up-to-date science
and conventional medical solutions. Packed with answers to common questions
and helpful insights, infused with Dr. Suzanne’s expert, but warm, and
sometimes, laugh-out-loud honesty, Menopause Bootcamp is a welcome
invitation to embrace and even celebrate this remarkable developmental
phase in the lives of women. It’s a welcome reminder that life doesn’t end
at menopause–it’s the start of something new and wonderful.
