This book is enormously helpful for understanding what happens in your mind, body, and life as you approach and pass through menopause. As I suspected, the whole thing is more than a physical process...or anyway, the physical changes cause a change in mindset as well. Aging is about a lot more than what you lose (for women, primarily the ability to reproduce). It's also about what you gain when reproducing and taking care of what you reproduce is no longer the defining fact of your life. This book is a littler heavier on the medical side than I personally would like, but it's helpful to have on hand as a reference. There is also enough information to address a variety of issues...lucky for me, I don't have all of them (I'm sure few do). I also found out that there is more to "female health" than my reproductive organs, which has been for for thought as I watch my long-time OB/GYN move toward retirement.

"Now, Brizendine uses her unique ability of making science approachable to offer an empowering vision of the years in a woman's life that have too often been ignored or misunderstood and creates a positive new framework for this life stage. She never uses the words perimenopause or menopause, with their suggestions of obsolescence. She guides women to become more of who they are and who they want to be in the second half of life. After analyzing the latest research, Brizendine has found that in midlife the inclination to cater to the needs of others relaxes, allowing women to become more centered while retaining their gifts of perception. The change in ratio of estrogen to testosterone makes women more direct and able to speak out. There's also a drop in anxiety that allows the female brain to flip its attentional style from multitasking to focusing on one thing at a time. The upgraded female brain is centered, direct, validated, focused, fearless, expansive, and free. In this sweeping look at the second half of life, Brizendine dives deep into the microscopic workings of your mitochondria one moment and zooms out to the bigger picture--family, relationships, identity--the next. With clear prescriptive advice, she also offers specific ways women can fend off dementia; increase longevity, well-being, and sexuality; and find their best selves at this stage of life. Ultimately, The Upgrade amounts to a celebration of how women step into their power and an entirely new--and radically positive--understanding of aging"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
