Title: Menopause, Metabolism & You: Understanding Midlife Changes and Building Habits for Lifelong Health

Short tagline (for the listing headline):

An evidence-informed, jargon-free guide for women over 40, with six printable tools to help you understand your body and build habits that fit your life.

Full description:

Confused by conflicting advice about menopause? One source says a supplement will “balance your hormones,” another says weight gain is inevitable, and a third says it’s all in your head. None of these messages helps, and none is accurate.

Menopause, Metabolism & You is a calm, practical, evidence-informed guide for women in perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. It explains what is happening in your body, what is not necessarily happening, and what you can reasonably do about it, without fear, shame, or unrealistic promises.

What’s inside (51 pages):

📘 Chapter 1: Perimenopause and Menopause Explained. The stages, the hormones in plain language, possible symptoms, and how to prepare for a healthcare appointment.

📘 Chapter 2: Metabolism, Ageing and Body Composition. Why the “metabolic crash” story is too simple, what the research really shows, and why muscle matters.

📘 Chapter 3: Nutrition During Midlife. Flexible, balanced eating (protein, calcium, vitamin D, fibre) with no restrictive diets, plus budget-friendly meal ideas.

📘 Chapter 4: Sleep, Energy and Everyday Well-being. Why sleep gets disrupted, what else it could be, and simple routines to test.

📘 Chapter 5: Movement and Long-Term Health. Aerobic activity, strength, balance, and how to start from wherever you are.

📘 Chapter 6: Menopause Myths and Medical Support. How to spot hype, the medical options that exist (hormonal and non-hormonal), and how to judge any health claim.
