The Menopause Book

What really happens in the body during menopause? How does hormone therapy work? And what impact does stress have on our health – both body and brain – during this phase of life?

In The Menopause Book, gynecologist Hilde Löfqvist guides the reader through the physical and mental changes that occur in the years surrounding menopause. Knowledge about menopause is in demand today more than ever, not least as the large 70s generation is now entering this phase of life. With an experienced doctor by their side, the path becomes safer and clearer.

The book addresses common problems and treatment options, but also how the body is affected by stress – both acute and chronic – and how the combination of hormone deficiency and stress can be particularly challenging. It also gives advice on how, based on your own circumstances, you can get through this mid-life period in the best possible way.

Hilde Löfqvist is a specialist in gynecology, trained in CBT and further trained in stress medicine, endocrinology and menopause care in both Europe and the USA. She is a valued lecturer and this is her fourth book.
