This is an interesting look at what it takes to lose weight after 50 and during/after menopause. The focus is more on journaling and working on your mindset than a fitness or diet book, but I don’t see the harm in that. It is important to know your mental status to help with reaching goals. The author also has a website and YouTube videos to assist readers. All in all, this is an educational and helpful read. Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to review this ARC.

It's great that more resources and books on menopause are available these days. However, this one felt a bit limited; there are other books on menopause that are far more inclusive of queer, nonbinary, and trans people. Mind Over Menopause is not one I'd recommend to my older ("senior") students.

I’m not quite 50 but I’m close enough that this book is an absolute must read to be prepared. I found this book quite informative without being too technical (or boring).

This was an interesting look at menopause and losing weight during it. My father was the first person to tell me fat and forty was an actual thing. This book takes a look at the behavior and maybe some untruths when it comes to diet and exercise during menopause. It was pretty eye opening since I asked my doctor for weight loss help and she told me to cut out bread. It hasn’t helped but I have noticed a flatter belly when I eat more. An interesting read for sure.

This book is different from most books on menopause because of the focus on mindset. The author takes us through a process to clarify our thoughts - are our thoughts helpful? or not? As the title implies, working on our thinking helps as to get healthier across all domains.

This book is an interesting read by a weight loss coach. The entire focus of the book is the secret to losing weight after 50 years old is mindset work. Therefore every chapter there is a big focus on journaling and mindset. I liked the synopsis at the end of each chapter.

This book is life-changing! Paula Bowers provides menopause solutions grounded in science. She teaches the reader how to use cognitive behavioral therapy to address the unhelpful thoughts that women experience as we transition through menopause. Her advice is logical, supportive, and encouraging to all women. I would highly recommend this book to all women as they navigate menopause.

Thank you NetGalley and The Experiment for a sneak peak of this book. I am currently in Menopause and this book was very helpful and very insightful! I enjoyed reading it and understanding better what I am going through. I would recommend this book to anyone who is experiencing Menopause.

This is an engaging take on menopause that focuses on mindset rather than medical intervention. Ms. Bowers’ advice and tools draw from her personal experience coaching women through and beyond menopause, helping them reach their fitness and weight loss goals. That said, it’s not a fitness or diet book but focuses on journaling to discover what one wants in this stage of life.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced reader’s copy of the book.

Informative well researched and engaging read. I’d recommend this for all women and the men who love them.
