I really enjoyed reading this and sped through it in just a couple of days. The title of the book might throw some people off, this is not one of those "fad diets" but rather a lifestyle of combining intermittent fasting with healthy eating. I'm a middle-aged woman and intermittent fasting is the only thing that has ever worked for me to lose weight after having two children, so to read about it again here and how it can impact menopause symptoms was quite meaningful to me. I appreciated that the book included the science behind how what we eat impacts our ability to function day to day. Yes I miss having high carb high sugar breakfasts (hello cinnamon toast crunch!) but I feel so much healthier now that I couldn't go back.

Thank you to Rodale Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to access this free e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

Excellent, detailed guide to addressing common health issues faced by women in menopause. Eating plan is not extreme and seems reasonable and healthy.
