Amy Alkon On Going Menopausal!
More than half the medical care we get in the US may not be “based on or supported by adequate evidence,” according to the US National Academy of Medicine—but the single most patient-betraying area is medical care for menopause and perimenopause.

Her book GOING MENOPOSTAL What You (and Your Doctor) Need to Know about THE REAL SCIENCE of Menopause and Perimenopause is eye opening for women of all ages. Amy dispels myths, tackles the medical establishment and provides assurance and hope for women facing this natural evolution of their life cycle.
