This is a free book club where we will investigate essential topics related to health, joy, and living your best life.

 

The first book we'll be reading is Estrogen Matters:  Why Taking Hormones in Menopause Can Improve Women's Well-Being and Lengthen Their lives-Without Raising the Risk of Breast Cancer, written by Avrum Bluming, MD, and Carol Tavris, PhD.

 

Estrogen Matters offers a fresh perspective on hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Highlighting key points such as the misinterpretation of the Women's Health Initiative study, the protective effects of estrogen on cardiovascular and bone health, and the cognitive benefits when started at the onset of menopause.

 

If you're super curious about HRT (also referred to as MHT - Menopause Hormone Therapy), this is for you.

 

Here is the schedule:

• Week 1:  Chapters 1+2 Thursday Jan. 9th with FB check-in 

• Week 2:  Chapters 3+4 Thursday Jan. 16th with FB check-in 

• Week 3:  Chapters 5+6 Thursday Jan. 23rd with FB check-in 

• Week 4:  Chapters 7+8 Thursday Jan. 30th with final Zoom at 7:30pm ET 

 

How it works:

• Continue this registration to receive an invitation to join the private Facebook Group.   You'll also receive an invitation for the final ZOOM.

• Purchase the book.

• We'll check in via our Facebook Group once a week, and I'll post questions and ask for feedback and significant takeaways.  

• After finishing the book, we'll have a final 30-minute meetup over ZOOM, where you'll have a chance to meet the community, discuss what you've learned, and ask questions.  

 

If you don't feel you can participate as much as you'd like to or make the final Zoom meeting, that's okay! While participation in the Facebook group and Zoom is encouraged, it's not mandatory.

 

I look forward to reading with you!
