From hot flushes to thinning hair, she has menopause covered.She also gives advice on how to improve your overall state of health, believing that women who have general good health should experience fewer problems. For those who do have difficulties she suggests many natural and holistic solutions: diet, exercise, homeopathy, herbal remedies, supplements and Hormone Replacement Therapy.
