The New Menopause Kitchen

Take control of your menopause journey with #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Ian K. Smith’s empowering nutrition and lifestyle advice and 50+ energizing recipes from Rachael Ray

Your body no longer responds the way it used to. Energy is fleeting. Your favorite foods cause weight gain and bloating. And no matter what you do, you can’t kick the sleepless nights, hot flashes, joint pain, or mood changes making you miserable. But you can take control of your health—you just need a new approach for this chapter of your life.

Drawing on the latest research on perimenopause, menopause, and beyond, Ian K. Smith, MD, shares science-backed nutritional guidance, along with a supportive exercise plan, to tame symptoms, preserve muscle mass and bone density, boost energy, and manage weight.
