This guide is a timely reminder that nutrition isn’t just the domain of dietitians—it’s central to how we, as physicians, care for women in midlife. Elizabeth Ward’s Nutrition During Perimenopause and After Menopause Occurs translates the physiology of hormonal change into practical, evidence-based nutrition strategies that every family doctor should understand. For too long, nutrition has been treated as peripheral in primary care, yet it’s often the missing link in managing symptoms, preventing chronic disease, and improving quality of life during the menopause transition. This is an indispensable resource for any clinician who wants to practice truly comprehensive medicine.

Elizabeth Ward’s Nutrition During Perimenopause and After Menopause Occurs is one of the most comprehensive, practical, and evidence-based guides I’ve read in my 15 years as a dietitian. It connects the science of hormonal change to the everyday realities my clients face—fatigue, weight fluctuations, and shifting nutrient needs—and gives actionable strategies that work. The references are solid, the tone is empowering, and the structure makes it easy to integrate into client education or group programs. Every RDN who works with women in midlife should have this on their desk.
