Judith Reichman, M.D., is a gynecologist who practices and teaches at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and UCLA in Los Angeles. She appears regularly on NBC-TV's Today show as a contributor on women's health issues. She cowrote and hosted two acclaimed PBS series, Straight Talk on Menopause and More Straight Talk on Menopause. The author of two bestsellers, I'm Too Young to Get Old and I'm Not in the Mood, Dr. Reichman lives in Los Angeles.
As a practicing physician in Los Angeles, Dr. Reichman has followed and treated many women who, despite advancing years (and in LA, this is defined as anyone over the age of forty), continue to feel young, vital, creative and healthy. She has helped women overcome many of the gynecological problems related to hormonal changes and age. Dr. Reichman s patients have fought and even thwarted heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity and cancer. In her first bestselling book she voiced the Baby Boomer s battle cry I m Too Young to Get Old. She has continued to do so in her next two books: I m Not in the Mood and Relax, This Won t Hurt.
In this book, Dr. Reichman uses the characteristic, sharp, incisive voice that has made her one of the country s foremost commentators on health issues. She addresses the aging effects of women s hormonal changes, offers a healthy anti-aging diet, exercise and vitamin regimen, and discusses how to stay young mentally, emotionally, and physically, providing women with invaluable, medically based methods to maximize well living and minimize aging.
“Inspiring, well-written…Any middle-aged woman should have a copy of this book.”
