Perimenopause and Women in Midlife Resources


Here are just a few of the resources I've evaluated to suggest and include in my e-booklets for women who want to learn more about making it happen in midlife and problems during perimenopause. I'll keep adding to this page, so be sure to check back later.

Of course, access to the information links is free. To be upfront, I have affiliate agreements for some of the books, CDs and other products, which means that I receive a small amount of compensation (which I use to offset some of my expenses) if you choose to use the links here to purchase any of these items. But it is entirely up to you as to whether you choose to purchase any of the products or services listed here. None of these are required for you to enjoy the site or any of my e-booklets and coaching services.

My Favorite Way to Get My Antioxidants

I drink a delicious nutritonal beverage (juice) consisting of 19 fruits and berries, primarily the acai (ah sigh ee) berry, which has the highest antioxidant level of anything tested. This drink also offers a network marketing opportunity. Send an e-mail to me through my Get in Touch With Me page if you are interested.

The acai berry is listed as "Superfood Number 1: Nature's Energy Fruit" by Dr Nicholas Perricone in his book:

Dr. Mehmet OZ mentioned the acai berry as a top superfood on Oprah, check out the link:
