Have you read The Menopause Manifesto? It's really good. My PCP recommended it. She evaluates research like Dr Gregor: emphasis on double blind controlled, no industry influence, etc. I just reread the bones chapter and was impressed that she admitted there's no research linking milk and strong bones (she's a "big milk drinker").

Sounds interesting but it’s 11 years since I went through the menopause so maybe I’ve missed the boat!. I’ve never had a hot flush or other symptoms ,but now I do get achey joints , and have noticed my strength just seems to have gone .i never managed to find a cruelty free HRT at the time though 😞Might still check the books out and do more research .Thanks Colleen ❤️

You have not missed the boat Julie — not at all! I highly encourage you to increase your ‘menopause literacy.’ It’s so empowering and you deserve to thrive! That is my wish for you. ❤️

Hi Colleen! I noticed that for the book Unbreakable, you credited someone named Bradley Tusk, but I believe it's Dr. Vonda Wright (that's what it shows in the book thumbnail too). Just wanted to mention it so you could correct if needed!
