There is no reason for women to deprive themselves of delicious, nourishing foods as they navigate the years before, during and after menopause. 

Registered Dietitians Hillary Wright and Elizabeth Ward have teamed up to author the new book, The Menopause Diet Plan. With a comprehensive approach to better health, this book helps women take charge of their well-being and live life to the fullest.

Wright and Ward share insights on nutrition and lifestyle habits for before, during, and after menopause because what happens to your body before and after menopause are important, too.

They suggest that women start taking the transition to menopause seriously in their mid-40s or even earlier. And, if you're past menopause, to eat in a way that keeps your brain, heart, bones, and the rest of your body in good shape.
