Synopsis

Menopause is a significant life stage for women and is an inevitable natural ageing process. Perimenopause (Menopause Transition) generally occurs for women between 40 and 55 years old and can have a significant negative impact on career and quality of life. In addition, they have higher rates of anxiety, suicide rates, and fewer career options.

There are over 50 million women globally suffering from menopause. Research shows Menopause Transition (Perimenopause) and the first four years Post-menopause are the most symptomatic and can last eight to fifteen years. Some women report symptoms in their nineties. About ninety per cent of women choose not to or cannot take Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

Most books and information, especially medical information pushes women to take HRT as the “gold standard”. Research shows approximately eighty percentage have mild to severe symptoms and most seek natural alternatives. Menopause is a highly complex and individualised situation and many women find it unsettling, confusing, upsetting and uncertain. There is little support for menopausal women globally.

There is a distinct lack of information about alternatives to HRT, causing confusion for menopausal women. Furthermore, much of the information focuses purely on the sex hormones Oestrogen and Progesterone, however, from a functional health perspective there are many functions in the body that when dysfunctional, contribute to menopause symptoms that can be reversed by focusing on bringing balance back to the body.

In Magical Menopause, Vanessa Giannos will help women with premature menopause (under 30), surgically induced menopause (30-40), and those women transitioning (40-55 years) to alleviate symptoms. She provides the reader with a combination of evidence-based scientific data, functional health, and a holistic approach, combined with ancient wisdom, such as Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine, that is simple for women to understand, educate and empower themselves.

Vanessa Giannos brings a unique perspective to menopause. Vanessa herself suffered severe menopause due to a traumatic event in her early 40’s. Vanessa spent ten years researching menopause and using a natural and holistic approach completely eliminated her menopause symptoms. In addition, Vanessa will blend her HR expertise, Behavioural Coaching, PhD studies and holistic practitioner experience and knowledge to bring a practical, natural approach to alleviating menopause symptoms.

Vanessa is currently undertaking a PhD with Griffith University. Vanessa is also a Masters’ qualified HR Expert who is also qualified in over ten holistic modalities, including functional health and diagnostic nutrition.
