I saw this book and knew I had to read it as I have been struggling with energy and my lifestyle since starting the perimenopause.

The book was well written and had a great lay out which made it both easy to read and to find the information I needed. I particularly enjoyed the quizzes as it helped me to see what vitamins etc I was lacking in and what to do to change this.

The 14 day plan was excellent and had lots of great ideas of what I could eat and how I could keep myself fuller for longer.

I would 100 percent recommend this book and it has definitely given me lots of advice and tips to help me with my journey.

Thanks to NetGalley, Jackie Lynch and the publishers for an advance copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review,

I’ve had cancer and a medical menopause so had done a lot of work already to be as healthy as possible. On going through it I definitely learn new details about macronutrients which has been very helpful. I’d definitely recommend it to all women who are either perimenopausal or menopausal. The book has everything you need to know and talks you through the process from beginning to end and you really feel your hand is being held.
The only part, of the whole book I struggled with is in the 14 day meal plan there are no snacks. For anyone who has a history of an eating disorder eating snacks helps prevent hunger which in turn helps prevent the full range of eating disorder behaviour. I know this book is not aimed at this group but a percentage of the readers will have an experience of this. Also once you deny yourself something you will be drawn to it so there is a risk of banning snack foods here for the general population. I also think chocolate is a corner stone to sanity, for me anyway. Snacks and alcohol are allowed after the 14 days but I do think it’s more realistic to work out how to live with them, although I do understand the factory reset concept.
So glad there was no vilification of carbohydrates, loved the balanced approach not even attacking fats! Really robust information on nutrition that , from my knowledge seemed accurate. The author even explained cholesterol which I’ve not seen in other similar books. The author focuses on food not supplements but these are explained when appropriate.
The appendix and extra resources were especially helpful.

Thank you to Watkins books for providing this book for my consideration via NetGalley this is all my own rambling, honest and personal opinions

This book was very informative and I learned a lot about nutritional answers to gaining energy at all stages of menopause.
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me a copy of the book.

Hard to rate non-fiction and especially medical/science/nutrition books. But I’m glad I have this to refer to. There is a lot here - it would be suited to a website as well. And is really something that is so specific to individuals that it should be covered with a doctor and/or nutritionist.
