We can try to embrace the aging process, but let's face it - seeing your skin change practically over night is a drag. As we get older, our production of hormones begin to decline and we gradually reach the end of our reproductive cycle. We start gaining weight, our hair begins to lose its luster, sound sleep becomes harder to get, we become bitchy, maybe itchy, our libido drops off, and almost over night, our skin begins to wither. And just when we thought we were in the clear, we start getting breakouts due to an androgen imbalance - oh joy. The majority of women begin noticing the onset of some of these changes in their 30's, but for many women, these subtle changes become recognizable as early as their late 20's.

Sex, Lies & Menopause by T.S.Wiley - The Shocking Truth About Hormone Replacement Therapy is an essential read for all perimenopausal and menopausal women. If you are considering hormone replacement therapy, I urge you to read this book. I found it to be a little dry, but it's an important read so pushed through. Suzanne Somers, breast cancer survivor, has several books that discuss hormone replacement therapy. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and her books are educational AND entertaining.
