About this title

Synopsis

Menopause doesn’t have to be the end of you kicking ass. The renowned author of Roar presents a comprehensive and customizable physiology-based guide to peak performance for active women approaching or experiencing menopause.

For active women, menopause hits hard. Overnight, your body doesn’t feel like the one you know and love anymore—you’re battling new symptoms, might be gaining weight, losing endurance and strength, or taking longer to bounce back from workouts that used to be easy. The things that have always kept you fit and healthy just seem to stop working the way they used to.

But menopause doesn’t have to be the end of you excelling at the gym, on the trail, or wherever you work out. Once you understand your physiology, you can work with it—not against it—to optimize your performance.

In Next Level, renowned exercise and nutrition scientist Dr. Stacy Sims shares case studies from women she has coached through this transition and teaches you:

• the underlying causes of menopause
• how to minimize the hormonal fluctuations that cause bloating, fatigue, night sweats, and other common symptoms of perimenopause and menopause
• when you should seek medical intervention for your menopausal symptoms—and how to confidently communicate with your doctor to ensure you’re getting the best care
• different modalities, from hormone therapy and nonhormone supplements to pelvic floor therapy and strength training, to help maximize your fitness and performance
• exercise routines and fueling strategies, including meal plans and macronutrient planning charts, that you can customize to best suit your unique needs during menopause
• and much more!

A comprehensive, science-backed framework for your menopause action plan, this is the ultimate guide for navigating the Next Level.
