What if the most important years for your long-term health aren’t behind you—but right now?

My new book, Hot Flashes, Cold Truths, is officially launched—and it’s written for women who aren’t just interested in living longer, but in living better.

Midlife isn’t a slowdown.
It’s a turning point.

The years around menopause quietly influence your heart, brain, bones, metabolism, strength, and energy for decades to come. Yet most women are never told how powerful this window really is—or what to do with it.

This book isn’t about quick fixes or anti-aging hype. It’s a practical, science-based guide to extending your healthspan—the years you live strong, clear-headed, and independent.

Inside, you’ll learn:
• Why midlife choices matter more than most people realize
• How menopause signals deeper changes that affect long-term health
• What actually works to protect energy, strength, and vitality as you age

If you’re over 45 and thinking seriously about the decades ahead—not just the next few years—this book was written for you.

My goal is simple: help women move into the second half of life informed, confident, and in control of their health.

If you know a woman who cares about aging well—not just aging—please share this with her.
