Any chance you’d consider a woman/women centered novel like last time? I find that the medical information can change on a dime, or a nickel since women are paid less. Hehe. Obviously, if your subscribers are wanting the med memoirs ignore me. I went ahead and found a few titles if interested.
Among my cohort of GenX perimenopausal women there is a general consensus that we gotta take a stand about pleasure, because it's one of the most powerful weapons against midlife grimness (that's the occasional shitty mood that can make you think you'll never be joyful, sensual, or alive again). But I think it has to be intentional pleasure, and it has to be skewed in a good-for-you direction. For example, I'm all about food pleasure, but I'm not about like, 4 CHOCOLATE BARS ARE 4X THE PLEASURE because that just turns into pain real fast. I'm glad that Glynis and her friends are out here with their pain au chocolat and endless charcuterie boards, but I just learned that high cholesterol is French women's dirty little secret, so maybe it's about moderation, at least more than her book makes it seem! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7738064/#:~:text=Prevalence%20of%20hypercholesterolemia%20in%20France,%2C%2013.2%25%20of%20women).
So, I've got to say I'm with you on intentional pleasure... with some impulse control and much needed discernment! I'm pretty sure the charcuterie, the dairy, and the vino in this book would have killed me straight away! So, it's all about moderation and saying um, this mocktail not *that*... because we know from study after study that once you hit peri/menopause many of us stop metabolizing things the same way as we did when were 20. And the myth of French women all being stick skinny and having zero cholesterol is exactly that... a myth! SO glad you bring up the data!
