Get Your Sexy Back: Biohacking Your Menopause Journey Low Chai Ling 256p, mass market, $16.68, ISBN 979-8-864-05743-8
In this inspiring and informative guide that presents menopause as not “a closure but as an invigorating commencement,” Low (author of In Full Bloom: Look Fabulous During and After Pregnancy) debunks long-held myths that have painted this transition as “a time of decline and despair.” With rousing insights into how to claim menopause as an opportunity “to shed the burdens of youth and embrace a newfound sense of self,” Low delves into the history of menopause, the ways in which this transition affects women from all walks of life, and offers inviting practical advice about how this chapter of life can affect a woman’s hormones, weight, and mental state.
“For far too long, society has painted a bleak picture of this natural life transition,” Low writes. Low explains that menopause is not the end of youth and vitality but “a comma in the sentence of life”. Through client anecdotes, clinic research, and scientific evidence, Get Your Sexy Back offers solutions and proactive measures to take in the most
common symptoms of menopause. Sharing trends that have proven most successful such as low-carb diets and the effects of ketosis, ways through exercise to stay in a caloric deficit, and beneficial supplements, this resource guide provides insights to ease the transition into this “phase of introspection, growth, and mental unrest.”
Focusing more on how to align mind, body, and soul than sexiness, Get Your Sexy Back is a comprehensive guide that provides readers with the knowledge, wisdom, and tools to flourish during this crucial season in a woman’s life. With chapters on how to combat weight gain, mood swings, or even insecurity through connecting with support groups and being in community, Low highlights the new beginnings and reasons to celebrate “the wisdom of the past and the promise of the future” that comes with the transformative journey of menopause.
