Personalized, comprehensive Gynecological care in the intimate setting of a private practice.

Synopsis: With the publication of The Savvy Woman’s Guide to Menopause: Before, During, and Beyond, Dr. Julia Schlam Edelman has created the definitive guide to navigating the physical, mental, and emotional changes associated with menopause. With over 30 years of experience as a gynecologist and menopause clinician, Dr. Edelman provides evidence-based advice for managing symptoms and preventive health strategies through a variety of approaches, including lifestyle adjustments, hormonal and non-hormonal treatments, and alternative remedies.

The Savvy Woman’s Guide to Menopause empowers the non-specialist general reader to understand the latest information about optimizing their health in midlife and beyond by addressing critical topics like cancer prevention and the impact of cultural, medical, and demographic factors on women’s health as they relate to perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause.

This indispensable guide features:

– Practical strategies for managing hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and memory challenges.
– Comprehensive insights into hormonal and non-hormonal treatments, alternative remedies, and precision medicine.
– Guidance on lifestyle choices and medical strategies to reduce the risk of cancer, cardiovascular issues, osteoporosis, and diabetes.
– Exploration of how age, sex, race, and sexual orientation influence menopause experiences and treatment options.

Critique: The Savvy Woman’s Guide to Menopause: Before, During, and Beyond is a practical, comprehensive, and exceptionally informative guide to mastering menopause and thriving through the transition. It is impressively “reader friendly” in organization and presentation, especially for the non-specialist general reader. Although the targeted readership is women facing the onset of menopause, this book will also prove of immense value for the men in their lives. While especially and unreservedly recommended as a basic addition to personal, professional, community, health center, medical school, and college/university Women’s Health & Medicine collections, it is also available in paperback and digital formats.

Editorial Note: Julia Schlam Edelman, MD, FACOG, is a Yale graduate, Columbia Medical School graduate, and Harvard residency-trained gynecologist. She is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner recognized internationally for her expertise in midlife women’s health.
