Hot Flashes, Cold Truths
A Doctor’s Guide to Thriving Through Menopause and Beyond
Aging is inevitable. Getting old is optional (and highly overrated).
In this practical, science-based, and surprisingly funny book, Dr. J. Ron Eaker takes women on a guided tour of midlife—where menopause isn’t just the end of fertility, but the start of a new chapter in how your body ages, fights disease, and (let’s be honest) sometimes betrays you in hilarious ways.
With more than 35 years of experience as an OB/GYN, Dr. Eaker shows how the biological changes of menopause can fast-track risks for heart disease, bone loss, cognitive decline, and metabolic mischief—and, more importantly, how you can outsmart them without living on kale smoothies or chanting in a drum circle.
You’ll discover:
- How menopause impacts longevity—and how to hack your health span so you thrive, not just survive.
- Practical strategies to protect your heart, bones, brain, and metabolism (a.k.a. the organs you actually want to keep around).
- Lifestyle and science-based tools to turn midlife and beyond into your most vital decades—without sacrificing chocolate.
- Step-by-step action plans at the end of each chapter (aka “What to Do When You’re Done Laughing”).
Written with warmth, wisdom, and a wink, Hot Flashes, Cold Truths is part trusted medical guide, part conversation with your funniest doctor friend—the one who actually explains the science and doesn’t mind laughing about it along the way.
