Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) July 23, 2007 -- Cleveland Clinic Press has just released "Women's Health: Your Body, Your Hormones, Your Choices," a medical guide written by women's health pioneer Holly L. Thacker, M.D., founder and head of the Cleveland Clinic Women's Health Center - www.clevelandclinic.org/womenshealth. Her book offers practical advice to help women successfully move through the changes of their middle years and beyond.
Dr. Thacker's medical book covers a broad range of topics, including menopause symptom control, bone-health basics, midlife sexuality, skin health, heart health, and prevention of cancer and other diseases. She provides a wealth of information on how women can improve their vitality, longevity, and quality of life.
"There's so much confusing and contradictory information in the news these days regarding women's health, perpetuating uncertainty among women facing midlife," Dr. Thacker says. "By providing answers to commonly asked questions and clearing up medical misconceptions surrounding women's health, I hope to empower women to make better-informed health-care choices."
Women's Health gives guidance on nutritious eating to promote a healthy midlife. It outlines the risks and benefits of hormone therapy, and discusses customizing hormone therapy for individual needs. Dr. Thacker's health book also contains quick tips on issues ranging from preventive care to breast-imaging options and the benefits of acupuncture.
