Mind Over Menopause
The Complete Mind/Body Approach to Coping
with Menopause
Millions of women report the years after menopause
as a time of increased confidence and feelings
of empowerment. However, the menopause transition
can be a difficult one. Maybe you've endured
night sweats. Maybe you've begun asking friends
and family, "Is it hot in here?" only
to get a resounding "No." Maybe you're
noticing that PMS is more than a monthly occurrence.
If you're searching for a natural or integrated
medical approach to navigate the midlife transition
and improve your long-term health, you have picked
up the right book.
Based on groundbreaking programs developed
by clinicians at the Mind/Body Medical Institute,
including Dr. Herbert Benson, Mind Over Menopause is
the only book to combine the expertise of the
Mind/Body Medical Institute, Harvard Medical
School, and a leading member of the North American
Menopause Society to create a complete plan for
coping with menopause symptoms, so that all women
can attain that confidence and enhance their
midlife experience.
“At a time when hormone therapy has been
called into question, three distinguished experts
have shared their knowledge concerning non-hormonal
treatment. Women entering the menopause
need to know their options for relieving symptoms. This
book is beautifully written. It will certainly
become part of my library and a recommendation
for my patients,” enthuses Isaac Schiff,
M.D., professor and chief of the obstetrics and
gynecology service at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Herbert Benson, M.D, the founding President
of the Mind/Body Medical Institute, is the Mind/Body
Medical Institute Associate Professor of Medicine,

medicine, he defined the relaxation response
and continues to lead teaching and research into
its efficacy in counteracting the harmful effects
of stress.
