Praise for Manage Your Menopause Naturally
“It is fair to say that as a former primary care doctor, taught to believe that HRT [hormone replacement therapy] was the only solution for menopausal symptoms, I am now a total convert to ‘managing your menopause naturally.’ My own symptoms were not helped at all by several attempts with various forms of HRT, but after just three weeks of Maryon’s program they had almost disappeared — and they have stayed away! Thank you, Maryon, and your team.”
— Dr. Vivienne McVey, CEO, Virgin Care
“This is an excellent book providing an overall holistic approach to the management of menopause. It should prove to be very valuable to all women who are experiencing the myriad symptoms of menopause that they wish to manage in a nonmedicalized fashion, with practical and sensible tips that should be easy to implement. Even for those who wish to consider HRT, the advice Maryon Stewart provides is invaluable!”
— Sushma Srikrishna, MD, FRCOG, consultant urogynecologist, King’s College Hospital, London
“As doctors we haven’t been educated about alternative routes through menopause. As many women want or need to manage naturally, it’s important they have adequate knowledge. In Manage Your Menopause Naturally, Maryon Stewart brings together the world literature and, based on her successful approach that has been helping women overcome their symptoms for twenty-eight years, provides women with step-by-step instructions and tools to manage their perimenopause and menopause naturally, as well as future-proofing their health in the longer term.”
— Dr. Hina Pathak Sra, MA (Hons), Oxon, MBBS, MRCOG, Director, Harley Street Specialists
“Maryon Stewart is the go-to expert for resolving menopause challenges naturally, and I can’t recommend her or this book highly enough. Her wisdom, expertise, heart, and compassion are unparalleled, and I’m so grateful this book will help her work reach more women. It’s time to release the big fat lies about menopause and reclaim the second half of life with joy and enthusiasm. We deserve it, and Maryon is the perfect guide!”
— Amy Ahlers, author of Big Fat Lies Women Tell Themselves and coauthor of Reform Your Inner Mean Girl
“As a menopause specialist, I know that hormone treatment is not always sufficient to treat menopausal symptoms. Women need holistic care, and many women are looking for a natural approach. Here, Maryon Stewart lays out her successful program, based on published medical research. In Manage Your Menopause Naturally, Maryon generously shares information from her Natural Menopause Solution so that women everywhere can use the knowledge to reclaim their well-being.”
— Dr. Tania Adib, consultant gynecologist, clinical lead of the Menopause Clinic, the Lister Hospital, London
“The important thing for me, as a practicing gynecologist, about Maryon’s work is that it is evidence-based. This book is a fantastic place for every woman to start when faced with menopause and decisions about how to be their ‘best self ’ for the next forty years. Maryon’s balanced tone and obvious passion make her book a compelling read and her advice a pleasure to implement.”
— Dr. Karen Morton, MA, MRCP, FRCOG, consultant gynecologist and founder of Dr Morton’s — The Medical Helpline©
