But there are simple steps we can take to get our gut, and our health, back on track. Cynthia guides readers on how to:• Combat bone loss through targeted exercise and nutrition• Replace hidden gut disruptors with fiber-rich foods that balance our weight• Practice cutting-edge stress management techniques that work• Realign our circadian rhythm and prioritize rest• Restore our immune systems by resolving leaky gut• Understand the benefits of hormone replacement therapyActionable and life changing, The Menopause Gut will inspire and empower women to take charge of their health in midlife.

Saylor Ford and Heaven Goo-Campbell could not be more different. Saylor is bubbly, popular, athletic, and always coupled up. Meanwhile, Heaven is grumpy and artistic, prefers her skateboard to people, and is perpetually single. So obviously, sparks fly when they must spend the entire summer together. When Saylor, distracted by her mum’s viral video about Saylor’s coming out, breaks her arm at basketball camp, she becomes determined not to spend the summer stuck at home with the social media star.
