Menopause, estrogen, hot flashes, weight gain, lagging libido, waning sex, leaky bladder, diet and exercise, sleepless nights, depression, breast cancer, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's, strokes, heart disease, blood clots... When most women hear the word "menopause," it fills them with dread-and for good reason. With so many giant implications for health and so little clear information, it's easy to become overwhelmed and discouraged. But while menopause is inevitable, it doesn't have to be inevitably terrible. Emine Cay Masters, MD, a board-certified OB-GYN with more than three decades of experience caring for menopausal women, lays out in clear and credible language everything a woman needs to know about this transitional time in life, so that every woman can make informed and empowering decisions about her health and future. Addressing the myriad ways that estrogen works in a woman's body, Dr. Masters provides valuable and profound insight into female hormones. While sifting through all the myth, facts, and controversy linked to estrogen replacement therapy, she candidly discusses options for mastering menopause. To enjoy a pleasant passage through this hormonal transition, as well as secure a healthy future with dignified longevity, a woman has to get real about her menopausal journey. This book helps her do just that.

Five years ago, at the age of forty-six, Trisha Posner was surprised to learn from a blood test that she was in full-blown menopause. Her gynecologist urged her to begin hormones immediately, but, mindful of her family’s history of breast cancer, she refused. No Hormones, No Fear is the story of Posner’s search for an alternative to the AMA’s sanctioned regimen of hormone replacement therapy. In a wonderfully engaging personal account, she reveals how she mastered menopause naturally, by developing a unique program involving exercise, diet, nutrition, and herbs. She not only successfully alleviated her symptoms but actually significantly improved her health and quality of life. Now updated with the latest major medical studies, which raise troubling questions about estrogen replacement for millions of women, No Hormones, No Fear is an indispensable primer for women confronting the thicket of conflicting information about whether or not to choose hormones during menopause. Trisha Posner, through her own inspiring story, shows that today’s modern women finally have choices and can empower themselves by taking control of their health and lives.

Chronic pain costs the nation up to $635 billion each year in medical treatment and lost productivity. The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act required the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enlist the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in examining pain as a public health problem. In this report, the IOM offers a blueprint for action in transforming prevention, care, education, and research, with the goal of providing relief for people with pain in America. To reach the vast multitude of people with various types of pain, the nation must adopt a population-level prevention and management strategy. The IOM recommends that HHS develop a comprehensive plan with specific goals, actions, and timeframes. Better data are needed to help shape efforts, especially on the groups of people currently underdiagnosed and undertreated, and the IOM encourages federal and state agencies and private organizations to accelerate the collection of data on pain incidence, prevalence, and treatments. Because pain varies from patient to patient, healthcare providers should increasingly aim at tailoring pain care to each person's experience, and self-management of pain should be promoted. In addition, because there are major gaps in knowledge about pain across health care and society alike, the IOM recommends that federal agencies and other stakeholders redesign education programs to bridge these gaps. Pain is a major driver for visits to physicians, a major reason for taking medications, a major cause of disability, and a key factor in quality of life and productivity. Given the burden of pain in human lives, dollars, and social consequences, relieving pain should be a national priority.
