Written by a distinguished physician and a clinical psychologist,Prime Timeis the first complete guide that empowers us to take charge of our lives and attain the well-being we deserve.

That’s whyPrime Timeis both urgent and essential. This groundbreaking book not only lays out a detailed, practical plan for overall healing and for maintaining wellness, it also addresses the underlying attitudes and assumptions that lead so many of us to neglect ourselves and undermine our own health.Prime Timewill help you • Reframe priorities to put yourself and your own health needs first • Interpret the latest medical findings on the Big Four killers and how they affect black women in middle age • Profile your current health with worksheets, quizzes, and assessment tools • Renew sex at midlife by eliminating restricting myths and taboos and finding new paths to pleasure • Reduce anger and “attitude” that block you from attaining good health • Identify the nontraditional signs of depression and anxiety common to African American women Comprehensive, straight-talking, and grounded in science and spiritual truth,Prime Timeis at once a guide to total health in middle age and a celebration of the strength, wisdom, and beauty of African American women in their second half of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Guide for Women Deeply optimistic, reassuring, and essential, the book the North American Menopause Society called “required reading” is now revised and updated, with over 20 percent new material that incorporates the latest medical findings, cutting-edge research, and best-practices advice. Expertly separating fact from fiction in the latest “breakthrough” medical studies, it shows you what to pay attention to, and what you can ignore. Learn about the role of hormones and the latest advances in hormone therapy. The truth about hot flashes and how to deal with getting one at work. The impact of menopause on sexuality and how to manage an up-and-down libido. There are chapters on heart health (how to protect it), moods (how to ride them out), and exercise (how to stretch without strain). And finally, why this period of life can be a natural springboard to staying healthy, feeling great, and looking beautiful for the next act of your life. Your Questions, Your Answers: Is it possible that I could get another period after more than a year without one? Losing weight at midlife feels like an uphill battle—what’s the healthiest approach? How do I perform a breast self-exam? Is hormone therapy necessary—and if so, which one is right for me? How effective are Kegel exercises, and how do I do them? I’m starting to get adult acne—is this normal?
