Menopause triggers physical changes and emotional and spiritual issues that call for a redefinition of the feminine self. Praised by renowned doctor Christiane Northrup, MD, bestselling author Ann Louise Gittleman, PhD, and Grammy-award winning musician/activist Bonnie Raitt, Gabriele Kushi’s book Embracing Menopause Naturally offers insight for this important life passage through courageous stories and stunning images of women from different cultural backgrounds. In this book, the author first provides a clear understanding of the overall process of menopause, from biological changes to emotional and spiritual challenges. She then goes on to offer research-based nutritional guidelines that can help relieve menopausal symptoms, as well as healthful kitchen-tested recipes based on a natural foods diet. However, it is the stories and portraits of twenty-one menopausal women that are at the heart and soul of the book. In their own words, these beautiful women share their diverse experiences with the reader. They relate their backgrounds, discuss their children and grandchildren, and detail how and when they noticed their first menopausal symptoms, as well as what they did to alleviate them. Some turned to their traditional cultural rituals for affirmation of this phase of life, while others sought alternative or conventional medicine. The reader learns how the passage affected each woman’s quality of life and how she ultimately expressed her new self. Embracing Menopause Naturally is a true companion for any woman who wants to nurture her own spiritual growth, adopt a natural foods diet, and enjoy good health throughout the midlife years and beyond.
