From the Back Cover

Guidance. Reassurance. Science. Stories. Practical tools. Support.

Has this middle part of life left you wondering: Is this . . . it? I thought it would get easier. I thought I'd have more figured out by now. Something is wrong, and I just can't put my finger on it. Is it my thyroid? Perimenopause? Or is this just what midlife feels like?

Dr. Mikala Albertson draws on her eighteen years in evidence-based clinical practice as well as her own personal experience to offer real stories and current medical information on a wide range of topics common to women in their later thirties, forties, fifties, and beyond.

Full of practical tools to empower you to care for and find healing in the body you actually have in this life you are actually living, Everything I Wish I Could Tell You About Midlife digs deep into:

- Preventive health and well-being specific to YOU and your unique parameters
- Perimenopause, mood disorders, and body image (as well as the harmful effects of cultural and societal expectations)
- Co-occurring life stressors like relationship issues, caregiver expectations, and shifting work/motherhood roles
- Support systems, purpose, and healing in your one precious, beautiful life

Life is hard--and today you may feel weary--but there are steps you can take toward health, growth, and healing while discovering along the way: There is beauty here, too.
