'Perimenopause and menopause can be very difficult times for women, both physically and emotionally. This book empower[s] women with information and advice.'

Dr. Louise Newson, GP and menopause specialist,developer of My Menopause Doctor

Discover new, effective remedies for menopause and perimenopause symptoms (migraines, hot flashes, mood swings, and more) in this powerful book, written by a fitness expert who experiences many

and shares her secret to thriving in good health.

Includes a Bonus Training Guide with Strength Workouts for Women Over 40.

At a time when menopause has become an urgent, necessary topic of public discussion, with the likes of Michelle Obama revealing their struggles for the first time on the internet, personal trainer Amanda Thebe shares the roadmap she uses to thrive during perimenopause and menopause inMenopocalypse.

With funny, bold, and big-hearted writing that will be familiar to readers of Glennon Doyle, Amanda Thebe shares her menopause journey and what she learned along the way. Readers will come away from the book with:

A better understanding of your own hormones and how they factor in menopause and your overall health Confidence to speak your truth about your menopause symptoms to your doctor, other health professionals, your family, and friends Advice for achieving optimal health during perimenopause and menopause by changing your diet, fitness routine, and more lifestyle factors

Amanda Thebe was working as a personal trainer and fitness coach when, at age 43, she began to experience debilitating exhaustion, dizziness, and depression. At the time, Thebe didn't know it was all related to her hormones. The busy mother of two, who was used to climbing mountains and traveling the world, only knew she struggled to get out of bed.

After several failed doctor's appointments, Thebe saw her gynaecologist, who finally named the source of her struggles: perimenopause, the period of 5-10 years before menopause, when a woman's fluctuating estrogen levels put her at risk of depression, anxiety, headaches, and more ailments related to female hormone health.

Empowered by information, Thebe began her journey back to her former self, overhauling her approach to diet and exercise.

InMenopocalypse, she explains how to deal with migraines, hot flashes, weight gain, exhaustion, poor sleep, vaginal dryness, and mood swings

offering tips that have worked for her and others.

She shares information about hormone therapy. She even shares her ownstrength-training routine, complete with a suggested workout schedule, easy-to-follow instructions, and pictures of herself doing the exercises, so you can feel empowered, fit, and ready to tackle the day.

Menopause isn't fun, sexy, or cool, and a woman might spend one-third of her life in it

but that doesn't mean women should suffer in silence without support. Let the outspoken and honest Amanda Thebe be your guide to surviving

and thriving

during menopocalypse.

'Amanda Thebe does a marvellousjob of evidence-based storytelling and self-help counselling, in words and pictures, with humour and confidence. I am so excited that women of all ages will now haveMenopocalypseto guide them through their lifetime journeys within their bodies!' Susan M. Kleiner, PhD, RD, author ofThe New Power Eating

'Amanda Thebe is the guide every woman deserves to have at her side as she moves into the mysterious post-reproductive years. Menopocalypse equips us with the strategies our doctors and friends might not share

important pieces of information that reassure us we can survive, we will survive, and we might even find our post-menopocalyptic selves stronger and more capable than ever before.'

Georgie Fear, RD, CSSD, author ofGive Yourself MORE

'A must-have for any woman over 40. Amanda Thebe breaks down menopause in an easy-to-understand way, and delivers science-based diet and lifestyle recommendations with levity and clarity. I'm buying a copy for all of my friends.'

Abby Langer, RD, author ofGood Food, Bad Diet

'Perimenopause and menopause can be very difficult times for women, both physically and emotionally. This book will help to empower women with information and advice so they can enjoy positive and healthy lives beyond their menopause.'

Dr. Louise Newson, GP and menopause specialist, developer of My Menopause Doctor

'Amanda's tell-all bookMenopocalypsespares nothing of her personal experience going through menopause and serves as an inspiration to women all over the world. Opening up about menopause and discussing how options are available to women is not only encouraging, but ultimately life changing. Her raw, unfiltered approach makes you feel like you are talking with your best girlfriend over your favorite beverage.
