Publisher's Synopsis
No hormonal shift challenges the female brain more than the transition into menopause and in this book, internationally best-selling author of Fast Like a Girl, Dr. Mindy Pelz unveils solutions that will empower women to trust in their innate capacity for healing.
In Age Like a Girl, Dr. Mindy H. Pelz offers a fresh, empowering perspective on aging, revealing how the brain changes after 40 can help women step into their most vibrant, authentic selves. Rather than resisting menopause, Dr. Pelz encourages women to embrace it as a transformative phase. She explains how hormonal shifts, like the loss of estrogen and its "girl gang" of neurochemicals, lead to significant changes in mood, cognition, and energy-but also present an opportunity for personal reinvention. In this practical guide, Dr. Pelz shares tools to help you thrive through this transition. You'll learn how to sync your body's rhythms, alternate your fuel sources, and prioritize restorative rest to support your brain and body. Dr. Pelz also introduces the concept of a "brain remodel" post-menopause, which allows you to shed old habits and embrace new ways of thinking and living. With actionable strategies and relatable insights, Age Like a Girl encourages women to shift from cultural narratives of anti-aging to a pro-aging mindset. It's not about staying youthful-it's about evolving into a powerful, wise version of yourself. Dr. Pelz reminds you that the best is yet to come, and your experience and wisdom are needed now more than ever.
