"At no point do we educate women on what is truly happening with their bodies." For generations, women have been told by the medical establishment that low energy, brain fog, anxiety, depression, hot flashes, and weight gain are all normal - a part of aging which women should accept and stop complaining about. This lack of conversation and education around women's health has grown into an industry that leaves women unprepared for and susceptible to diseases especially as they enter perimenopause and reach menopause. Lady Parts: Putting Women's Health Back in Women's Hands is a wellness handbook that empowers women to take control of their health through easy-to-follow tips and foundational knowledge. Using humor and accessible language, author Dr. Kavita Desai, PharmD, blends her professional experiences in the health care system and personal experiences caring for her mother diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's. Desai sheds light on difficult and often overlooked topics, giving insight on various symptoms and offering accessible ways to relieve them through medical best practices, and dietary and lifestyle changes. Given the growing evidence of the interconnectedness of our bodies, she advocates for women's health to be treated as a whole, not in disparate parts. Women looking to improve their health will enjoy the balance between holistic and clinical approaches to wellness in this guide. No matter where you are in your health and wellness journey, Lady Parts is a must-read.
