Approaching the 'Pause

Dear Dr. Rosie,

I feel like I'm on fire with hot flushes and I'm having trouble sleeping. I'm irritable, can't lose this extra weight, and my 'crown jewels' feels more like a crown of thorns! What the heck is happening? Is this menopause? Help!



Join Dr. Rosie Ross and Joanne Vines as they explore the weird and wonderful - it's not all bad, they promise! - experiences common to many of us as we approach menopause and emerge into our wonder years.



Told through a series of candid letters between Joanne and her GP friend Dr Rosie, Approaching the 'Pause is an entertaining and easy-to-understand account of the journey to, through, and beyond menopause.



Drawing extensively on up-to-date medical and scientific research, Approaching the 'Pause offers straightforward answers to all the questions you might have about this new stage in your life, making it easier to manage your expectations, relationships, and health choices.



Full of practical, reassuring tips and advice, Approaching the 'Pause will help you understand the 'why' of what's

going on in your body, and how you can survive - and thrive - before, during, and after menopause.



Dr. Rosie and Joanne have written this book to help women navigate their way through the 'pause with grace, dignity, and knowledge - while keeping their humour and sanity intact!
