Beat midlife mayhem and thrive through menopause with this comprehensive, holistic guide offering the latest research and treatment advice. As a woman, menopause and perimenopause is a time when your health shifts dramatically. Hot flashes, disruptions in sleep, along with declines in mood, cognition, weight management, bone density, and heart health can have a significant impact on your well-being and quality of life. More than simply an end to your reproductive capacity, it is a time when your health can spin out of control due to hormonal shifts that impact everything from immunity to risk for chronic health conditions.&nbsp; Up until recently, the messaging around these unwelcome midlife changes has been that they are an inevitable part of aging and that, if you can just white-knuckle the discomfort, it will eventually pass. For decades, conventional wisdom--and medical practice--have told women to simply endure the constellation of symptoms, from hot flashes and sleeplessness to loss of muscle mass, depression, painful sex, joint pain, and incontinence. Or a traditional MD might reluctantly recommend a one-size-fits-all HRT prescription. However, new research and clinical practice is showing that that approach is wrong and sets you up to age quicker, sicker, and with a lower quality of life. The findings reveal that menopause is not just about the uterus and ovaries--it affects the whole body from brain to bones. The Great Menopause Myth fills in the missing picture for women and gives&nbsp;comprehensive information on: &nbsp; <ul> <li>Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)</li> <li>Heath Risks After Menopause</li> <li>Metabolic health</li> <li>Gut function</li> <li>Nutrition</li> <li>Movement</li> <li>Sleep quality</li> <li>Stress management</li> </ul> Centered on your overall health and happiness, The Great Menopause Myth offers a welcome new narrative on menopause.

A historical novel about the role of science in modern life, set against the backdrop of the 1925 Scopes Trial &nbsp; When William Jennings Bryan began a campaign to get evolution out of American schools in the 1920s, entomologist Martin Sullivan sought refuge from the tumult in his research. Although the theory of evolution provides the foundation for his scientific work, he prefers the careful methods of observation and classification to the passion of public debate. But when Martin takes a job teaching college biology in Seattle, he finds it increasingly difficult to retreat to the haven of science. His students are taking sides in the debate over whether religion and evolution can be reconciled. Socialists are using evolution to justify revolution. Politicians are citing Darwin in defense of anti-immigration laws. And Martin's own colleagues are insisting that only eugenic reforms will save the world. As anti-evolution legislation spreads across the country and passions flare on all sides, the effort to apply science to marriage laws and mate choice even begins to touch the lives of those he loves. By the time the state of Tennessee puts John T. Scopes on trial for teaching evolution in the summer of 1925, Martin can no longer ignore the debates that surround him and must take a stand in the fight over the role of science in American society. &nbsp; Although set a hundred years ago, The Species Maker wrestles with many issues that continue to confront scientists and science watchers in the present day. Kristin Johnson draws on her experiences in the classroom and extensive knowledge of the history of science to depict what it might have been like for a careful scientist to watch the heated debates over teaching evolution in the United States in the 1920s. &nbsp; Visit www.thespeciesmaker.com for supplemental material including historical essays, links to online primary sources, a glossary, and guiding questions useful for the classroom or book clubs. &nbsp;
