Don’t all women want to know how to maintain their sanity and their waistline as they age? What are the secrets to maintaining your sense of humor and your health in the midlife years? Menopausal wife and mother, Robin L. Gordon, struggled with the answers to these questions while coping with the conflicting demands of her changing body and needs of her family. In her utter frustration, she imagined herself in a cartoon and chronicled her midlife journey. The book, Hot Flashes, a form of HRT (Hilarious Response Therapy) without any negative side-effects, informs the reader about the common symptoms of a woman’s midlife transition, seven greatest disease risks, screening tools, and preventative habits to maintain optimal health. The book also boasts an extensive Appendices including a Body Mass Index (BMI) chart to determine a healthy weight range, menopause glossary, and over one hundred health related resources for women. Her intent is to provide an easy-to-read, humorous, reference guide for midlife women that sorts through the often puzzling maze leading to menopause and beyond.
